The ArchDouche of Hazzard Remodels Charger's Front End [NSFW]


True, random burnout meetings on the street can be a fun thing to watch, but they're also illegal, dangerous and if you happen to be the one driving a car, potentially costly.

Just ask the man behind the wheel of the limited-run Dodge Mopar '11 Charger V8 sports sedan who wanted to participate in the makeshift burnout grid on a public road right after a local car show – there's no mention which one it was from the person who uploaded the video, YouTube author "Talontsi97".

Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee Loses its Top

Poll: 2014 Chevrolet SS vs. Dodge Charger vs. Chrysler 300


For sure, there are plenty of sporty flavored, rear-wheel drive sedans in the market, but the first two cars that come to mind as direct competitors to the new 2014 Chevrolet SS are without question, the 2013 Dodge Charger and the 2013 Chrysler 300.

General Motors won't be releasing prices for its bow-tie-badged Holden Commodore SS V until later this year, though, we anticipate to the SS to carry a similar price tag to its Chrysler Group challengers in the non-luxury, rear-wheel drive performance sedan category.

Mopar Drops the SRT Viper's V10 Into the Dodge Charger Juiced Concept


If there's one thing Mopar's people like doing to Chrysler Group cars more than anything else, it is to shoehorn the brand's gargantuan V10 powerplant under their hoods.
