If you're gonna hang out with a bunch of car enthusiasts in Austin, you've gotta do it at some food trailers. I think it's a city ordinance.

We're big fans of SRT chief Ralph Gilles for his no-nonsense style and purveyance of insanely powerful American cars. And like any responsible executive, he needs to sample his own wares from time to time — which is exactly what he does when he pilots this Jeep around Austin's Circuit of the Americas. 

While other performance-oriented brands are figuring out ways to charge car buyers more and more (often more money for fewer features), Chrysler's SRT brand has the budget-minded enthusiast covered. Cheaper versions of their most powerful cars that forego the luxury features we don't care about? Yes, please.

Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham is a Mopar fan and he's famous, so Dodge went and helped him build a custom Challenger. He decided to document the whole thing in a couple of webisodes and do some burnouts too.

SRT contains every single high performance ride that is in the Chrysler stable. From the 300C to the Viper, they're all under one roof.

We've been drooling over the 2013 SRT Viper for a solid five months now. With 640 horsepower, 600 pound feet of torque, and a sound that will cause sovereign nations to go to war, we couldn't wait to hear what it would take to get behind the wheel.

Judging by his perennially rumpled look, it's difficult to peg what sort personal car Chrysler-Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne would go for. But SRT president and designer Ralph Gilles leaked via Twitter that Il Commendatore di Chrysler opts for a snarling SRT Challenger on weekends. We approve.

The main character in AMC's show Breaking Bad is Walter White, a formerly mild-mannered high school chemistry teacher turned cancer patient turned meth cook and ruthless murderer. No matter how much of a badass he is, he isn't exactly someone we'd consider an ideal role model or a good "get" for a product endorsement.

Earlier this year, Dodge's only NASCAR team, Penske Racing, made a shock announcement that they would be defecting and replacing their cars with Fords for 2013.

A new Viper means a new Viper GTS-R for track duty. As you can see from this teaser SRT has been busy undertaking the enviable task that is testing a race spec GTS-R at Virginia International Raceway.
