Few people have had a chance to ride in the 2015 Ford Mustang, but thanks to a special event held for select media yesterday afternoon, I had a chance to ride in a trio of new Mustang fastbacks and I had the camera rolling – giving you a chance to take a virtual high speed ride in the next generation pony car.

General Motors has done a very good job of keeping the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro completely hidden from the prying eye of spy photographers over the past few months, but the first batch of spyshots have surfaced online – showing a heavily camouflaged car that looks far more like a refreshed current Camaro than a radical redesign.

While everyone (including me) was busy focusing on the incredibly low price of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, many failed to look at the pricing for the rest of the 2015 Challenger lineup – with pricing for the other V8 models that make them great bargain buyers relative to the competition.

Ford has announced the first official power figures for the entire 2015 Mustang lineup and while the numbers are a touch lower than rumors had suggested, the numbers are still sure to make the S550 Mustang an awesome performance model – from bottom to top.

Our prediction is that the coming RC F will mean the end of the unique Lexus IS F super-sedan.

The 24-hour Nurburgring race was a huge test for the 2015 Subaru WRX STI. Why did they finish in 4th place?

The folks at Saleen Performance are best known for tuning the Ford Mustang, but they also have a variety of high performance packages for the Chevrolet Camaro and one of their retailers recently posted a video and eBay listing online with a price of $101,255 – which is a crazy high price for this 575 horsepower GM muscle car.

While we had initially expected that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would hit 200 miles per hour, word on the street is that the 707 horsepower Mopar muscle car will fall just short – with a top speed of 199 miles per hour.

While we still don’t know for sure what the highest performance version of the 2015 Ford Mustang will be called, video has surfaced of the next gen super-Stang in action on the German Nürburgring, giving us the best opportunity yet to see and hear fastest pony in action and honestly – it sounds incredible.

The Chrysler Group has announced the pricing for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and amazingly, this 707hp monster is actually less expensive than I had expected with a price of $59,995 – putting it in the range of the midlevel Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT with 455 horsepower.

Yesterday afternoon there were a handful of reports that customer vehicle production of the 2015 Ford Mustang fastback would begin on Monday, July 14th – which created some obvious excitement as buyers have been lining up for months – but Ford Motor Company reps have argued that production of the S550 is not slated for the coming week.

Back when we only knew that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 would have “at least” 625hp and 635lb-ft of torque, GM brass stated that it would be priced similarly to the C6 Z06, but with the C7 Z06 likely beating the previous Corvette ZR1 in every day – I really have to question the idea of the new Z06 costing as much as the old Z06.

The 2015 Ford Mustang will be the first of the fabled pony cars marketed on a global scale so to show off the new Mustang V8 on one of the biggest European stages possible – Ford Motor Company sent a professionally driven Mustang GT to the famous Goodwood Hill Climb for the new muscle car’s first racing effort.

Now that we know that the new 6.2L Hellcat Hemi will provide 2015 Dodge Challenger owners with 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, offering even a watered down version of the Hellcat in the Dodge Charger SRT will make it the most powerful sport sedan in the world – comfortably overpowering anything from the European automakers.

The folks at Callaway have announced the official specs for their 2014/2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray package and for around $23,000, the Callaway Corvette packs an incredible 627 horsepower and 610lb-ft of torque – coming in a touch under the Z06 in power while likely costing far less.

General Motors recently announced a recall of every 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro to replace the switchblade style key fob, but in reading all over the internet and in speaking with some Camaro owners it is very clear that many owners want to keep their key fobs – even if they go through with the recall repairs.

When it was announced last week that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would come with 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, I referred to it as the most powerful American production car of all time and after getting some feedback on that claim, I wanted to take a moment to justify why I believe that to be true.

When the 6th generation Chevrolet Camaro debuts for the 2016 model year, General Motors will have their work cut out for them to have a muscle car that will compete with the 707 horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – and it is questionable whether GM will try at all since they probably wont want to trump the Corvette Z06.
