E-Go Revolt

October 24th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Exotic Cars

Russia is big name when it comes to auto performances but the first name associated with the industry is Lada. In order to change all that, a small company from Moscow, called E-Go decided to use the 1993-1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT platform and make a splendid car called the E-Go Revolt.

The sports car hides under the hood a 3.0 liter twin turbocharged V6 with 550hp and is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. It will also boast with 19 inch wheels, a touchscreen LCD on the steering wheel, an active air suspension and six piston caliper brakes up front with four pistons in the rear.

It’s a beautiful car but before jumping in to any conclusions we’ll have to see what the test will say about it.

Chrysler Recalls 712 Vehicles

October 20th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Chrysler Cars

According to an official announcement made by the National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA), Chrysler will recall 712 vehicles off the market due to a powertrain control module problem.

The recalled vehicles are 2009 Jeep Compass and Patriot, Dodge Avenger, Caliber and Journey and Chrysler Sebring. The main cause of the problem is a new adhesive used for the powertrain control module that causes malfunctions with the printed circuit board. If that happens the engine will crash without a warning and that’s a nasty situation.

Starting this month, any car owners facing this problem must go to an official dealer and they’ll replace the powertrain control module for free.

For any additional information you can call Chrysler’s customer service at (800) 853-1403.

Dodge Challenger Blacktop At SEMA

October 16th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Dodge Cars

Dodge is coming all guns blazing at the SEMA this year with Chargers of all shapes and colors and breeds. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. The first to be announced were the Super Charger, the SRT10 Concept and Targa. Now we got the Blacktop.

Behind it are the guys from MOPAR Underground which will craft a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine with a six-gear manual transmission. I just love it when good things that worked in the past are kept alive, cause you know what they say: “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”. Other goodies come our way, including coil-over suspension and strut tower brace, a dual-exhaust and cold air intake, and let’s not forget about 2 pairs of 22 inch Dodge Viper wheels. And to make us sleep in the car, the seats will be Katzkin leather and for our ears we will get the Mopar Kicker audio system. Start saving money for gas and for the car, and for life insurance.
