Driving the 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 for a week, I got a taste of what it’s like to be an extremely hot woman. It’s pretty uncomfortable. Of course, the men taking notice were ogling the Charger’s bulging, well-defined flanks and not my own lumpy, flab-sided body, but to see guys staring in
2012 Dodge Charger SXT Blacktop Review – This is Why American Cars Are Cool Again
What you see here is a 2012 Dodge Charger SXT equipped with the optional Blacktop Package. Last year, this was called the Enforcer Package – a much more appropriate name that reflects how fellow motorists mistake this menacing black Dodge for a cop car as they approach
Review – 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is a Pit Bull on Wheels
Last week, at a local strip mall, I sat in the driver’s seat of our car while the children slept and the wife shopped, goofing around with my iPhone. Nearby, a dog barked incessantly but good-naturedly, and finally attracted enough of my attention that I looked over to see what was going on. There, tied to a signpost marking a
First Drive – 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 is Far More Than Just Another Retro-Themed Muscle Car
Willow Springs International Raceway, CA – Acrid smoke billows from the 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392’s rear wheels as an engineer melts the P245/45ZR20 Goodyear F1 Supercar tires to the pavement in an effort to prove that the sophisticated traction, stability, and braking technologies that come standard on the muscle car don’t interfere with good old American-style, empty parking-lot fun.
First Drive – 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Defies Laws of Physics
Los Angeles – Like so many of our nation’s cities, Los Angeles is decaying at a steady rate. Drive almost any one of L.A.’s famous thoroughfares – Sunset, Mulholland, Melrose, Santa Monica – and you’ll witness crumbled pavement, crumpled guardrails, faded signage, hastily painted graffiti, piles of trash, and overgrown vegetation. A layer of charcoal-colored silt quickly coats anything that
First Drive – 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 is a Merchant of Muscle
Willow Springs International Raceway, CA – The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 might be built in Canada with a Mexican engine, but it represents vintage motoring Americana: Big car, big engine, big personality. Vehix went to the desert north of Los Angeles to sample the new Charger SRT8 on “The Big Track” at Willow Springs Raceway, a 2.5-mile, nine-turn road course
Review – 2011 Dodge Charger R/T Goes Fast, Has Fun
Honestly, I am stunned by how fantastic the 2011 Dodge Charger R/T with the Road and Track Package and the Super Track Pak is to drive. Our test car, pictured above in $995 worth of Redline paint, stickered for $65 shy of $40,000. I almost choked on that when READ MORE

Twelve Cars, 3 Hours and One Track
Vehix recently attended the Ride and Drive event sponsored by the Rocky Mountain Automotive Press (RMAP) outside Denver, Colorado. The draw? The chance to drive a bunch of great cars on a track and off-road while safely belted in these fairly amazing and completely street legal rides.
Due to flight delays, I unfortunately missed the off-road events.
