Residents of the Sedona or Las Vegas, as well as area tourists, have
been privy to the Pink Jeeps Tour company for almost 50 years.These small group tours give passengers the
opportunity to travel through some of the most beautiful landscapes the American
southwest has to offer, all while riding in the comfort of a modified,
stretched Jeep Wrangler.However, the
Pink Jeep Tours is now featuring their new Pink Jeep Dodge Ram.The problem with the Jeeps was that they only
carry 6 people, and the heat of the desert can not only be uncomfortable, but
there is also the issue of people with health issues during these sometimes
lengthy tours.The 6.7L Cummins diesel
powered Dodge Ram 3500 has been lifted and fitted with a luxury interior
featuring reclining leather captains chairs, climate control, and 15 inch LCD
screens and DVD players.

When Steve Saleen created SMS Supercars, there were rumors
that the long-time Mustang tuner could introduce the new company's efforts with
Dodge Challenger, and with the recent press release from SMS, it was confirmed
that SMS' first Supercar is indeed based on the popular Dodge Challenger.
The SMS prepared Challengers will wear the name 570 and 570X
Challenger, and those packages are based on 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T
models.The SMS Challengers will all
feature the 5.7L Hemi engine, but the horsepower will be increased from the
normal 376 up to 500-700, depending on the extent of the package chosen.The key addition in making all of this power
is the new SMS 296 Supercharger, and in prior applications the 5.7L Hemi has
responded well to the forced induction.All of the 570 and 570X models will also come equipped with a 6-speed
manual transmission.
The Dodge Charger SXT and base model Chrysler 300 have
proven to be a popular alternative to the Hemi powered variants of the same
models, with their powerful yet efficient 3.5L V6 making 250 horsepower and 250
ft-lb of torque.When Dodge released the
information about the upcoming 2009 Dodge Challenger SE, that same 3.5L V6
would prove to be a great fit for the base model muscle car, but leaves us
asking, where is the SXT?
The Charger and Magnum, along with the other SRT models
(Ram, Neon, Caliber) all offer an SXT package, which in most cases is just a
sights and sounds package (sunroof, upgraded stereo, etc), but the Challenger
went from SE (the base of the other models mentioned) and jumped to the R/T and
SRT8...so where is the Challenger SXT?
