Dodge Viper Still Selling Like Mad, Viper ACR Virtually Sold Out, While Chrysler Sales Down

Posted by Admin on November 18, 2008

Dodge Viper ACR

may be running around like a chicken without a head, but the craziest bird in the roost, the Dodge , is out dancing in the fields. Even while companies worldwide prepare to ransack , the sales are unflinchingly continuing. Although sales are reportedly down an amazing 32%, Dodge continues to produce and sell Vipers at a rate of 100 units per month. Not just that, but the ACR – that $105k -prepped super-snake – is all but completely sold out… not so much in spite of the poor economy, but because of it. reports that with stock portfolios rapidly losing their value and dollar values plummeting, investors are seeing the ACR as a good investment opportunity due to its potential discontinuation and therefore retaining a high resale value - all with smile inducing dividends, too.

F1 Champ Lewis Hamilton will get his McLaren F1 LM after 3 Championship Titles

Posted by Admin on November 7, 2008

McLaren F1 LM

Now that has secured the Formula One championship, supercar fans around the world are asking when he’ll get his hands on that rare LM. The incredibly valuable supercar – initially reported at $4 million but now apparently worth closer to 8 – was promised to the budding young driver if he won the title. However, the condition was that he win both the drivers title and, together with team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, lock up the constructors’ title for the team, as well. Although he won the drivers’ championship, the constructors’ crown went to arch-rivals , but since chief is such a good sport, he’s renegotiated the terms.

If Hamilton manages to repeat his title victory with a hat-trick – that is, take another two championships – he’ll get his hands on the bright orange supercar. That’s quite a challenge, but Dennis called it a “small price to pay for three world championships.” Indeed, but by then will have a whole slew of supercars on the market for Lewis to choose from. In the meantime, he’d better keep his head down and focus on the prize.

What’s really impressive is the high speed this French manages to sustain here, but it appears that long-term road-worthiness may be compromised.
