If a NASCAR race is you and your partner’s idea of a lovely date, then we’ve got a ring that’ll really help you out when it comes time to pop the question. It’s a HEMI ring. As in, it’s modeled after a Dodge HEMI engine. There are rubies in the blower and it’s made entirely of sterling silver.

At $400, it’s a bit pricey but nothing compared to a decent engagement ring. Just make sure you have a real Dodge HEMI-equipped car in the garage, ’cause you’re going to need it once your fiance flips shit because you didn’t get her diamonds. Hey, at least you don’t have to water it every day.

At the Detroit Auto Show Dodge was showing off their 600-horsepower Viper right in the center of their booth. However, that wasn’t the best one. Near the back of the booth Dodge had a little secret: the Dodge Viper SRT-10 Mopar concept. It seems that Dodge wanted to 1-up itself and pack more into a car that was already packing a lot. Mopar took the already beefy 8.4-liter V10 and pushed out an additional 75 horsepower. If only there was a way to push out 75 horsepower in all of our cars – the engine wasn’t the only thing that Mopar tricked out. Mopar slapped on an adjustable suspension and blacked-out 19″ lightweight alloy wheels. The paint job also makes the car look a lot fiercer. It is a sick gray all over with an off-set red racing stripe which makes it look really cool. It’s as if Dodge wanted to see us drool even more uncontrollably at an already vicious car. Maybe this edition of the Viper was for those rich guys who thought the regular Viper wasn’t good enough for them.
