Huh. I must have gotten the base model transmissions then.

Thanks, guys.

9/13/14: 2014 Dodge Viper GTS-R, nominated by @The Stig Farmer.

Here is quite a bit of information on it. I'm in a hurry, and saw no need to copy it all down. This vehicle is back on the list on 10/13/14.

That Viper is a badass car. I love that livery and it is awesome to see Vipers racing again, makes me a happy man.

I love Vipers, but a racing Viper is that much cooler.

 

[Dagger311]

I forgot about this.

9/14/14: 2015 Charger SRT Hellcat, nominated by @Custom878.

Plenty of info right here on their website. This vehicle returns on 10/14/14.

 

[JAHHAJ]

Uhhh I don't remember nominating the Hellcat I think that was someone else.

 

[Dagger311]

It was under your name...

Did anyone else nominate this? I'll go through my PMs.

 

[Dagger311]

@Custom878, you are the nominator!

 

[Leggy1]

That looks a bit strange. Like it though 👍

And 700bhp?! Crazy.

I hate the grilles on new Chargers, but yeah, 707hp in a rwd sedan is insane.

Similar to the Dart? (small saloon)

Are you asking about the grille, or the cars? The grilles are sorta kinda similar, but the cars are two entirely different machines.

707hp large RWD sedan with solid rear axle is insane.

Yeah I meant the grille and front look, I think they look quite similar but very different sizes though.

They do look pretty similar, actually.

 

[JMoney]

At 204 mph, the Charger hellcat is unofficially the world's fastest sedan; 8 mph faster than the Panamera Turbo S at 196 mph.

 

[Dagger311]

By the way guys, yesterday, everyone was allowed to nominate. Everyone including me forgot to though. Be sure to PM me before this Sunday for this weeks' nominations.

[Celicaas]

NEAT Car i must say

 

[Dagger311]

I really like these. Much better than the 64 model Impala SS. One of my top ten cars.

 

[Leggy1]

I didn't know about this car before, looks good though. You learn something new every day, and that's what's great about this thread 👍

Woah, woah, woah, woah... You've never heard of the Impala SS?

 

[Leggy1]

Yes I have but not this model, I didn't recognise this one.

 

[Dagger311]

Yes I have but not this model, I didn't recognise this one.

Oh, okay. This is my favorite Impala of all time. It also happens to be the first year the 454 was offered in it.

Not fact, but I personally have a feeling it had something to do with the success of the Pontiac GTO (muscle car, of course), so Chevy decided they wanted a muscle car version of their Impala.

 

[Celicaas]

@Dagger311 Do you mean that the GTO Was inspired by the impala ??

 

[Dagger311]

@Dagger311 Do you mean that the GTO Was inspired by the impala ??

No, I mean the 454 hitting the Impala was inspired by the GTO.

GTO comes out, and is a huge success.
This prompts Chevy to stick a huge engine in the Impala, turning it into a Muscle car, like the Chevelle.

 

[Celicaas]

@Dagger311 but I thought the GTO Came in 1966 the one before it was the lemans

 

[Dagger311]

The GTO was around, but the Lemans was the sports/performance coupe model, that many people claim to be the start of full muscle cars.

I use GTO for all variants, I'm weird that way .

 

[Sage Ages]

There's rumors that it's actually a lot more than that. Somewhere in the 800s.
