Hey fans, VizX here coming at you with another edition of the automotive corner. I found a posting on jalopnik of something soooo nice that you would think dodge would make. I think it would sell to be honest, but hey what do I know right?

“You remember that recent Dodge statement basically confirming there would not be a Dodge Challenger Convertible? Who cares if Dodge won’t bring it, because it’s just opening the doors for aftermarket converters like Coach Builders Ltd., bringing their interpretation of a drop-top Mopar pony to the SEMA show in Vegas next month. For the show, Coach Builders’ Challenger gets 560 HP from a supercharger and other underhood mods, along with the requisite obnoxious wheels and what appears to be a Challenger T/A-inspired strobe stripe, though it comes off looking more like safety tape.”

“Priced at about $16,000 on top of the cost of a Challenger, the conversion nets you hidden chassis bracing and a power hydraulic top with extra sound insulation, an integrated headliner and heated rear window. Body kit and engine package pricing hasn’t been determined yet, as the company is still finalizing details. But with production slated to start November 15, if you want one, you’d better get Coach Builders Ltd. your deposit quick — apparently they’re already putting buyers in the que. Sure, the price is steep, but where else are you going to get a Challenger convertible?”

Now, in my opinion I would get that, discard the rims for something alittle more tasteful and remove the MS Paint looking vinyl on the side of it and THEN, that would be a nice looking ride, but as is all you need are the “ghetto” stick on fender louvers to make what this recreation of a classic is into another gaudy ghetto-tastic ride!

Yes another electric car lol. This one comes in the form of an RUF. I found this on autoblogs website and I thought I would share.
“Rumors of RUF’s impending electric Porsche were true, except that the actual vehicle is based on a Porsche 911, not the Cayman as previously reported. Powered by a three-phase electric motor that offers about 200 horsepower along with an impressive 480 lb.-ft. of torque, the eRUF Model A can reportedly hit 60 miles per hour in under seven seconds and can reach a top speed of 160. Power comes from a lithium iron phosphate battery pack, which produces 317-volts and 480-amps and is made up from 96 individual cells. A full charge takes a rather long 10-hours, and regenerative braking is included in the package allowing for a range of up to 180 miles. From the outside, you’d never really know that something was different about this 997, except that it doesn’t produce that soul-stirring flat-six sound. This is still just a concept and its specifications are subject to change. We can be sure, though, that this isn’t the last electrically-powered sportscar set to hit the market.”

With it being a bolt on application, installation is a breeze as it connects right to factory piping.
