Red Army Invades Detroit - Red Dawn 2010

Detroit has been taken over... at least for the filming of the new Red Dawn movie. Here are some images and a video from the upcoming film. What better place to film the movie than Detroit, a real life post-apocalyptic city. Sorry Detroiters, but the place is kinda a ghost town these days.

The. Baddest. Fire Truck. Ever.

Alright, we know it's not a truck, but Fire-Fighting Safety Car just doesn't have the same snap to it.  The 2010 Nissan GT-R is one of the fastest cars around the Nürburgring which definitely qualifies it for the job of Fire-Fighting Safety Car.

With 485 horses pushing around just 3800 lbs, you're already going to be the first guy on the scene.  Why not throw in racing seats, a full roll cage, a lightbar, and a fire hose with fire retardant?

Unfortunately, the tank for the fire retardant takes up the whole back passenger area, so taking your homies out for some fire fighting fun is out of the picture.  But keep your fingers crossed, maybe one day you'll see one of these cruising your town parade.

2010 Ford Raptor SVT F-150 

It has pretty much been, well, I'll say never that I've personally been excited about a new Ford truck coming out. This one has done it though. With the standard 35 in BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA/KO tires you'll surely be able to haul ass down some back country roads. This is while Fox Racing Shox will be keeping you in smooth comfort. Anyone still in doubt about the Raptor's off-road capabilities will note that there is going to be 11.2 in of usable travel on the front suspension. The rear will give 13.4 in usable travel.

How much? Well, the base 300 hp 5.4 liter model is going to set you back $38,995. Opt for the 400 hp 6.2 liter beast and expect to pay an additional $3k.

Who do we need to talk to about getting a TIFR rally version?
