Fresh Perspective

Truly remarkable collection of cars, I’ve seen nothing like it and I’ve been to Jay’s Garage.

THIS CAR COLLECTION IS BEYOND AMAZING- Video.

Nice artsy montage….

Dirty Exotics Run – official release- Video.

This is why DragTimes.com is one of the best sites on the Internet. Viper ACR Dyno Pulls. Love it!

2008 Dodge Viper ACR on the Dyno- Video.

The car sounded like it’s still be tuned, but man you know it’s going to be bad-ass when you see twin supercharger pulleys peaking out of the hood like that.

First, congrats to Brooks for running a great time without Launch control. 11.6@118 is impressive. Second, this video illustrates why the GT-R is going to loose a roll-on race against most 11 second cars. The GT-R’s weight slows down the ET (118), so the Viper is catching up toward the end (122). This is not unlike how the GT-R does against the Z06 as well. In the 8th, my money in on the GT-R, at the Qtr it’s a driver’s race, take it further, and the Viper is going to win.

Old but worth posting still. I have about a gig worth of video cluttering up my hard drive that is all B-Roll from this shoot.

And of course I took plenty of photos on this shoot as well..

Believe it or not Dodge was pretty happy with this shoot since it was part of a larger “Challenger Week” we ran on the site.  My Favorite video from that week was actually the Top Gear Photo shoot we did.  Andrew from CarPix is an amazing photographer and really did a great job explaining how he composes photos for Top Gear.

“Challenger Week“

Sort of a neat video, but what stood out immediately is that they have an electric Lotus Europa. Tesla anyone?  Is this the first shot over the bow of someone buying Tesla?  Surely it would be cheaper for Chrysler to just buy Tesla, than the reinvent the wheel (Electric powered Lotus).

On the surface of it, Tesla is just getting started, but they need a dealer network, and they need a finance agency and staff training to grow beyond just a boutique manufacturer. Sure it’s all the rage here in California, but what happens if your Tesla breaks down in Vegas?

These are all problems that large manufacturers have already solved. But what they haven’t solved is branding.  Chevrolet is a great brand that doesn’t mean “Electric” to me at all. Toyota is considering a “Prius” brand for future alternative fuel cars, and I have to say that could be a smart move.

Tesla would be a great brand name for this sort of strategy, lord knows Chrysler could use an injection of fun while selling off the Viper.
