The latest victim of the F-150 after the memorable stomping of a Ferrari F-150 is a brand new 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8, which judging by the bodykit, stripes, alloy wheels and badges, is the 392 limited edition with the 470-horsepower V8 Hemi. The driver of the Dodge's muscle car was waiting for the light when a Ford F-150 decided to give the Challenger an unnecessary -and quite painful- rear-end makeover. Follow the break to watch the clip. Read more »

| Edo Competition’s 722HP Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Black Arrow Posted: 08 Apr 2011 07:22 AM PDT  The impressive SLS AMG 'Gullwing' may have long replaced the venerable SLR McLaren in the Mercedes-Benz's ranks, but the tuning world is not about let go of the Stuttgart firm's previous supercar. Edo Competition has revealed a new take on the SLR McLaren called the Black Arrow.
