While we still don’t know for sure if the high performance S550 will be called the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang – the folks at Road & Track caught one of the new super-Stangs leaving a parking lot in California and the exhaust tone of what we expect to be a high performance 5.0L Coyote engine is nothing shy of awe inspiring.

When the announcement was made to discontinue the SRT brand, it was reported by some that the 2015 Chrysler 300C would not get an SRT variant like the 2015 Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger, but a new report from Allpar suggests that the highest performance Chrysler sedan will live on into the 2015 model year – just without the Hellcat Hemi.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is promised to pack at least 600 horsepower and at least 575lb-ft of torque when it arrives later this year, but the most impressive aspect of this new Mopar muscle car might just be the untapped potential of the supercharged Hellcat Hemi.

When the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 finally reaches the garages of lucky owners around the country it will be one of the most powerful cars in the world and it very well could be one of the most track capable street legal cars of all time – possibly putting an end to the ongoing horsepower war in the US market.

Ford has done a remarkable job of protecting the details of the next generation high performance Mustang so while we don’t even know for sure what it will be called – be it the Shelby GT350 or the new SVT Cobra – I expect a high powered Mustang that is more like the previous Boss 302 than the previous Shelby GT500.

The Chrysler Group has promised that the new Dodge Viper SRT coming in 2015 will be refreshed and with the SRT Viper being practically brand new, it has left many people wondering what the 2015 refresh might hold – and I think that it will bring about the introduction of the newest Viper convertible or roadster.
