There’s never been a better time to subscribe to your favourite motoring magazine than right now, with an absolutely mad Father’s Day deal currently live at the Groupon website.
For real, you can get a full 1 year subscription to NZV8 magazine and a Sony Subwoofer for just $85. It’s an unbelievable deal that has a $188 total value so you are saving over $100 bucks. But you better get in quick by heading to Groupon, because these deals are only live for a couple of days.
Delivery of all 12 issues and the subwoofer is included in the deal so there’s no added costs. The subwoofer is a Sony 30cm GTX Series SVC Enclosure type making it handy for a range of audio applications. (more…)

Court documents filed recently by Chrysler indicate that there is only one offer on the table for the Dodge Viper business. The lonely offer is well under the $10 million asking price that the bankrupt automaker has been seeking and If a suitable buyer isn’t found, it’s likely that the assembly plant where the Viper is manufactured will be closed down this December.
The sole $5.5 million USD bid came from Devon Motor Works, a small boutique coachbuilder based in Michigan, USA that has plans to launch a new supercar of its own called the Devon GTX (pictured), which will be based on the underpinnings of the Dodge Viper. The GTX is scheduled to make a run at the Nürburgring lap record for a production vehicle (currently held by a Dodge Viper ACR) sometime in July, after which it will be officially debuted at the 2009 Pebble Beach Concours in the states.
Chrysler first looked at selling off its Viper line last August, and the troubled automaker still claims that it has other interested parties, but it’s now clear that it’s very short on actual realistic offers. The bottom line is that $5.5 million USD is better than nothing especially when you owe billions of dollars. Chrysler is apparently looking into Devon’s offer to verify that the small company has sufficient resources to close the deal.
Purveyor of muscular MOPAR, John Herlitz spent over 35 years with Chrysler and was responsible for the 1970 Barracuda and 1971 GTX. He also worked on the 1997 Dodge Copperhead. He retired in 2001.
He died aged 65 last Wednesday
