Meet the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT - Again

After all sorts of speculation over spy shots over the past few months, the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is here and as you can tell from the image above showing a new SRT Jeep, the spy photos all over the internet insisting that this is the 707hp Hellcat model are incorrect – although this new Jeep is a whole lot sportier up front.

2017 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang VS 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE SS: Tale of the Tape

The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE SS is being billed as the GM muscle car which will knock out the Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang and while only some of the preliminary performance numbers for the new 1LE have been announced, I have compiled a list of vitals on each of these two muscle cars to see which car has the advantage on paper.

After the dual mode exhaust system on the likes of the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and the Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack has proven to be so popular, the high performance brand will make a loud, dual mode exhaust system standard on every 2017 Challenger and Charger with a Hemi V8.

Going Above and Beyond the Escalade: Why Cadillac Should Aim Higher

After all, the XLR was Corvette-based so could that formula work again? Possibly, but there would be one very large hurdle to overcome: while the XLR-V based at over $100,000, a cheaper Corvette Z06 was faster. Some may remember reports of those at Bowling Green and Chevrolet not being happy with the idea of the XLR being faster than the Corvette and in the end, the XLR wasn’t. The Allanté and XLR were also only produced for one generation each before being dropped so a successful track record with two-seat Cadillacs has not been demonstrated.

Preliminary 2017 Dodge Challenger Trimline Roundup

Since discussing the introduction of the new 2017 Dodge Challenger T/A, I have received a handful of questions about which trimlines it will be replacing and since there has been no word on any of the existing trimlines from 2016 being killed off for 2017 – I wanted to do a piece detailing what the 2017 Challenger trimline lineup should look like when it goes on sale later this year.

Based on some dealership allocation paperwork posted on Camaro6.com, the first examples of the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 with the new 10-speed automatic transmission may not reach dealerships until next spring – with the entire first phase of production dedicated to ZL1 coupes equipped with the manual transmission.

670hp Ford Mustang Delayed in Australia by the Government

Ford Motor Company plans to offer a 670 horsepower version of the Ford Mustang GT with a Roush supercharger package at Australian dealerships with a full warranty, but the Australian regulatory process has caused a delay in the automaker launching these high performance models – forcing owners of the popular new Mustang to search elsewhere in their quest for more power.

The New Dodge Challenger T/A 392 drops at the Perfect Time

Leading up to the Woodward Dream Cruise, Dodge introduced the new 2017 Challenger T/A with either the 5.7L Hemi or the 392 Hemi and while some will complain that these new trimlines are not elaborate enough – I think that this new Challenger T/A is a perfect package for the current muscle car market.
