The war between Detroit's muscle car threesome may have just begun, but as you can see in this newest episode of Torque.TV 's Head-2-Head series, it's already a shooting war. Like we saw in the preview clip , this face-off pits a 725 HP Mustang GT500 against a 725 HP Challenger SRT8 in a good ol' tire-smokin' fossil-fuel-burnin' good time. Who will come out on top? Check out the full episode over at Torque.TV

newVideoPlayer("/ChallengervsMustang.flv", 494, 290,""); This clip shows a race (well, the first half anyway) between two steroid-injected versions of Detroit's muscle car threesome , a Dodge Challenger SRT8 tuned by GS Motorsports against a Shelby Mustang GT500 tuned by Kenne Bell. Apparently it's one of many "bitter rivalries" from the upcoming second season of "Head 2 Head" on Torque TV . Others include races pitting the WRX vs an Evo and a GT-R vs a 911. If you're watching the above clip, and you're curious as to the difference between Torque TV and Speed TV , Torque TV has a woman in a tight-fitting top dropping her arms at the tree, while Speed TV relies on a bald guy wearing the same black t-shirt. Sure, it's fun to watch a girl jump up and down while excitedly thinking about making her S.A.G. check, but many gearheads may find these matchups kind of predictable. Let's one-up help Torque TV out and let them know what...

newVideoPlayer("/SRT600.flv", 506, 423,""); The folks at Hennessey have finally revealed the quarter-mile time on their mad-crazy Challenger SRT600 — and it's a pretty-stellar-by-Mopar-standards 11.9 seconds, with a top speed of 121 MPH. Although we already knew from our exclusive visit to the Hennessey compound , the Hennessey Challenger SRT600 churns outs 536 HP and 582 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, we'd been waiting to see just how fast it would be. Well, now we know, and we've got video from the Texas-based tuners to prove it.

newVideoPlayer("/HowToDoABurnout.flv", 494, 290,""); Of course you know how to do a burnout. We all talk a big game when it comes to hoonage, but as we get ready for the Woodward Dream Cruise this weekend, we're sure there's got to be someone out there who might appreciate a simple instructional video. For this lesson, we'll be showing you how to do a burnout with a rear-wheel-drive, automatic transmission vehicle. galleryPost('DodgeCSRT8Burnout', 8, 'Dodge Challenger SRT8 Smokes The Tires For Educational Purposes'); For this example, we'll be using the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 , but the essential procedure can be applied to any number of slushbox-equipped RWD vehicles. Once you've mastered the technique, feel free to make your own video to show us all what you've learned. If you'd like some examples, check out our Corvette ZR1 burnout video , or this slow-motion Ford Mustang burnout video . Photo Credit: Alex C. Conley

newVideoPlayer("G4-Challenger.flv", 494, 371,""); Remember when we saw that black Dodge Challenger SRT8 making some runs at Irwindale Speedway ? Remember the unknown "blonde bombshell" at the wheel last week? Well, it's confirmed — she is a bombshell, and now she's no longer "unknown." Turns out it was Alison Haislip of G4TV doing a bit of test dragging with Chrsylerberus' new Mopar muscle car. Here we get to see her take a stab at a Shelby Mustang that almost loses it into the wall while losing to a girl — well, at least that's what it looks like from the editing. We're just stuck wondering how a bunch of tech nerds got their hands on one of these before us. Hey Dodge, are you listening? [ G4TV ]

newVideoPlayer("challenger-track.flv", 494, 371,""); Loyal reader Jack found himself at Irwindale Raceway in SoCal yesterday for the run-what-ya-brung night and lookie what was there, a brand new 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 . Here we catch a glimpse of the lady-driver givin' it to a Honda Civic SI in an 1/8th mile run which sees the new Mopar take it easy all the way to a winning finish. At least that's what we hope we're seeing. If a Challenger doesn't obliterate an SI at the strip something is very wrong. We're still wondering who the blonde bombshell behind the wheel was. Anyone out there know? Also, does the Challenger pictured here have the legendary drag package we've heard about for almost a year now? galleryPost('ChallengerDragsIrwindale', 12, 'Challenger Drags Irwindale, Brings Women With It');[ Youtube via Jack]

newVideoPlayer("DodgeChallengerCommercial_gawker.flv", 475, 276); Oh yeah baby, the Muscle Car Wars (patent pending) are totally on now and Dodge is showing it -- revealing both a new commercial for the new muscle car that declares simply "It's On!" and then by dropping a pricing of $37,995 on the limited-edition, top of the line and 6.1-liter Hemi-powered 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 . The new pony car from the brand with the horns will come in three colors, black, silver or Hemi orange and they'll begin taking orders on the new Hemi hotness starting December 3rd. Now that would make a "December to Remember." We're totally declaring Monday a Jalopnik muscle car holiday. Full press release after the jump and we'll be seeing the official unveil in person in just a couple of months at the Chicago Auto Show. galleryPost('DodgeChallenger', 9, 'Dodge Challenger'); Dodge Announces Pricing for All-new 2008 Challenger SRT8® Dodge Challenger...

newVideoPlayer("USAMuscleFifthGear_gawker.flv", 475, 376); This week's episode of Fifth Gear featured an epic battle of 'merican muscle. Specifically, we get to watch Vicki Butler-Henderson take a couple laps in two automotive icons of TV -- the General Lee and the Starsky & Hutch Ford Torino. All we've got to say is watching that Charger chug down the straightaway, barely nicking 100 MPH makes us uber-glad for today's HEMI-fied SRT8. Be that as it may, we'd probably still trade our left arm for one.
