The new Chevrolet Corvette C7.R teams both took to the Circuit de la Sarthe track this past weekend for their first practice session leading up to the 2014 24 Hours of LeMans and while the results arent as good as they could be – it seems that the Corvette Racing teams are very pleased with their early lap times.

Steeda Autosports seemingly dropped some bad news about the 2015 Ford Mustang recently when they claimed that it would be 200-300 pounds heavier, but the Mustang accessory gurus have since clarified that those figures are based solely on their best guess – meaning that this weight increase for the S550 Mustang is anything but official.

Although the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only entering its second model year in 2015, General Motors is already working on the next generation Corvette and the future C8 might just feature a hybrid assist system – raising the next generation Corvette to the levels of some of the world’s most impressive supercars.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat will come with a supercharged 6.2L Hemi that will deliver at least 600 horsepower and at least 575lb-ft of torque – but it will also come with two different ignition key fobs that will allow the driver to limit the capabilities of this monster for different driving situations.

The Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 is the most track capable Camaro of all time, but it is not the most powerful so for those folks who must have the most powerful GM muscle car on the road or the track with the accompaniment of the supercharger whine, the folks at Lingenfelter have introduced two different forced induction packages for the new LS7 Z/28.

According to Mustang aftermarket gurus Steeda Autosports, the 2015 Ford Mustang curb weight has increased by 200- to 300 pounds – although no detail has been offered as to which components caused this very significant curb weight jump.

It is May 28th, 2014 and while the 2014 SEMA Show is almost 6 months away, we already have out look at the first possible preview in the form of the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray wearing an elaborate widebody package from Gurnade. Yes, SEMA previews already… and it’s a good one.

In order to help drivers of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT make the most of the 485-600 horsepower, the Chrysler Group has included a new Drive Mode system that adjusts a variety of parameters including the suspension, the shift points, the traction control, the stability control and more – allowing the driver to make adjustments to fit his or her style and abilities.

Many WRX STI fans didn’t like the design of the new 2015 Subaru WRX STI. Is Mitsubishi to blame?

When the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro introduces the 6th generation of the fabled GM pony car, it will likely feature the same LT1 V8 that currently powers the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, but having that monster V8 in the Camaro SS could create a huge gap between the entry level V6 and these high volume V8 models – a gap that the company will need to fill somehow.

General Motors has dropped all of the details on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, including the new 8-speed automatic transmission that we knew was coming along with a couple new exterior colors and some new exterior appearance package options – all of which should only help improve the already incredible C7 Corvette.

There is a good chance that when the new Dodge Viper arrives in 2015, less than 500 Dodge dealerships around the country will be able to sell the newest Mopar supercar due to the requirements set forth by the Chrysler Group management to sell the Viper under the short-lived SRT brand.

When the Chrysler Group formally announced the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Hemi earlier this week, they were good enough to include a couple video clips of the car in action – but this amateur video of the Hellcat Hemi revving hard is a much better display of what this 600+ horsepower monster will sound like at wide open throttle.
