Here we have the 1:33 ACR limited edition Dodge Viper that has been on display at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. What exactly does the 1:33 stand for? Well back in November, Chris Winkler was able to race the Viper ACR around the Laguna Seca track in just 1:33.944. It’s the fastest time ever accomplished by a production car, and only 33 of Dodge Vipers have been built since. Now what really makes this car unique is the 600 horsepower under the hood, and able to run from 0-202 mph 14 seconds faster than the 2009 model. Thus proving the Dodge Viper SRT10 V10 engine is not something to mess around with.

Mopar and HEMI car fans around the world will love this all new Competition Plus Dodge Challenger SRT8 model tuned by Hurst Performance. Even though the Dodge Challenger SRT8 falls in the heavy weight division as far as vehicle weight goes, this is the newest package of the Challenger Series one through five, and it meets all expectations. The package is priced at $18,495 and starts out with a Hurst shift kit, pearl white shift knob, plaque of authenticity, K&N high flow air filter, Magnaflow stainless steel performance exhaust, and an adjustable Eibach suspension kit. Performance numbers have yet been released from the car tuning and engine tuning modifications, but we’re expecting at least 572 hp and 528 lb-ft of torque from the Hurst Performance Dodge Challenger SRT8 since the series 4 was able to produce those numbers.

Vizualtech is a Swedish company which creates stunning designs for cars rendered in 3d before they are built in real life. They could change the design at will before starting to modify a car and now they made a number of LeMans inspired 2009 Dodge Challenger designs. Challengers are usually modified as muscle cars and most tuning companies try to make it look dangerous but not like a race car. We don’t know if these designs are wind tested or if they would work well in a real race but they are amazing and different than any tuning kit for Dodge Challenger i’ve seen.
