Imagine you're at a stoplight, and a Subaru WRX STI rolls up next to you, with the driver revving the engine. Seems normal right? What if when they revved the engine a duck call started coming from the car's engine bay? We know, try to contain your laughter. MUST WATCH: Brake Failure At 154 MPH Is...

The Dodge Viper (current SRT Viper preliminarily excluded) is a wild beast of a machine that demands serious attention from the person driving it.

You kids with your fancy syncromesh single-stick gearboxes. I remember back in my day when we had different gear levers for different gear sets, and when you didn't shift smoothly the transmission would let you know. The straight-cut gears act as the gearbox bouncer and you better be smooth if you...
