Good news! That 1,000-horsepower Dodge Challenger
The Pontiac Firebird was the mysteriously unloved little brother to the Chevrolet Camaro.

What are those crazy three-wheeled contraptions rolling around the Sochi Olympics opening ceremony? Why, nothing less than the result of technology sharing between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The best part? You can still buy one brand-new today.
Rally Sweden is in full swing at the moment, so here's a look back at the 1986 running of the event. It was in the midst of the Group B era, and also the first event for the legendary Ford RS200.
