Porsche is in the final stages of development of a more hardcore version of its track-focused 911 GT3, the infamous 911 GT3 RS. The latest spy shots reveal as much of the car as ever, as Porsche hasn't bothered to do much in the way of camouflage on this track-focused screamer. The car was originally scheduled to debut this summer, but its arrival may be pushed back slightly because of Porsche’s 911 GT3 engine fire dilemma. Although a fix has been found, Porsche will likely be conducting further tests on the upcoming 911 GT3 RS variant to ensure its engine is as close to bulletproof as...

It's no secret that the Dodge Viper isn't exactly selling like gangbusters. Chrysler has even had to halt production on the car in order to keep existing stock moving along. Still, there's a new model year on the horizon, and it will see some changes in the Viper. No, the Viper won't be getting the 707-horsepower 6.2-liter V-8 from the new Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It will continue on with the familiar 8.4-liter V-10. Well, said engine will be a little bit different. It's getting a horsepower bump! Maybe we shouldn't have used an exclamation point on the end of that last sentence. To be more...

Hell No: Why SRT Hellcat V-8 Won't Be Giving Viper Extra BiteThe 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat seems a natural to go under the hood of a vehicle that could better handle all that power up to 200 mph and above.

Muscle cars, like those of the 2015 Dodge Challenger lineup—and yes, that includes the 707-horsepower SRT Hellcat—have long been emblematic of all that’s American. They’ve always been about cramming a V-8—a very large, lusty sounding V-8, preferably—under the hood of a car that typically isn’t all that large. Because we prefer super-sizes; and gas is cheap...or, well, it still is compared to much of the rest of the world. Acceleration and quarter-mile times are all-important for bragging rights and those Friday night (drag-strip) lights. Top speed...
