2008 Dodge Viper SRT10

Now with even more venom, Dodge introduces the new 600HP 2008 Viper SRT10 coupe and convertible…

Jeep Trailhawk Concept

Merging the core off-road features of the new Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with an on-road open-air concept vehicle ,Jeep presents the Trailhawk concept.

Built off the 116-inch wheelbase Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, the Trailhawk is an on-road cruiser that doesn’t give up the Jeep off-road capabilities. If I didn’t know any better, I’d think we are looking at the next-gen Jeep Grand Cherokee (although I’d hope they keep the Trailhawk name.)

Chrysler Nassau Concept

Presented as a “a more emotional and artistic articulation of what it means to be a Chrysler,” the Chrysler Nassau Concept was unveiled at the NAIAS in Detroit today.

The car is built on a 120″ wheelbase, but appears to be smaller than it really is. Many media people at the show thought it was more Dodge Caliber-sized than Chrysler 300-sized.

The upper portion of the car is painted Mystic Blue Pearl, while the sill and the lower portions of the fascias are done in Starbright Silver.

Welcome to ModernMopars.com!

Modernmopars.com.  You’ve heard the name, now see what a couple of Mopar geeks can do when sent to organize some of the most eclectic groups of HEMI-loving, tire-squealing, SRT-turboed, intercooled and giggle-juiced groups on the internet.  Our goal is to help organize disparate groups into one large metagroup for the purpose of garnering greater numbers at events such as the Carlisle All-Chrysler Nationals and NOPI Nationals.  Unlike other similar groups, we’re looking to provide our own entertainment services, hospitality and a kinship to those of us with some of the newer cars on the market.

Feel free to join us!  If you have a love for 1995+ Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, or Jeep, you’re welcome here. Even the “bastard children” like the DSM & Mitsu-built cars and trucks are welcome. The forums are a gathering place for ideas.  We will also be utilizing resources from throughout the internet getting the scoop on new hardware ready to hit the assembly line.
