The Man Van is even manlier today with the unveiling of the Dodge Grand Caravan R/T. Dodge says it delivers the performance-sedan handling with minivan utility. Rated at 283 horsepower from its 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, it certainly has the grunt it needs to get the job done. A...

While the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 has gotten most of the attention lately, that doesn't mean that the R/T trim has been forgotten.

The Dodge Viper may be due for a return in 2012, but it won't be the same Viper we grew to know, love, and fear. For that, you'll either have to find someone willing to let go of their car, or find a way to get a seat in the still-cranking Dodge Viper Cup Series, which today announced it will...
