The 4th of July holiday weekend continued the amazing season for the 2015 Dodge Charger funny car NHRA teams, with Jack Beckman beating all three of the John Force Racing Camaro funny cars to get his 3rd win of the 2015 season – marking the 9th win for the new Charger body in 12 races this season.

Even though sales were down across the entire muscle car segment, the new Ford Mustang continued to post gigantic sales numbers – once again crushing both the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger in June 2015 sales.

While the attention of the muscle car community has turned towards the future, I recently had a chance to spend a week behind the wheel of a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE – a package fitted with handling goodies that easily make it one of the stickiest muscle cars I’ve driven while also serving as a clear reminder as to why the 5th generation Camaro has been so popular.

It was recently discovered that General Motors filed trademark applications for Corvette Manta Ray and Manta Ray, both of which are being legal protected with the intention of being used in the name of a future vehicle or engine.

The folks at GM dribbled out a few images on their site yesterday. Here is a sneak peek if you can’t wait.

General Motors really hasn’t had much to say about the arrival of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, but a new 15 second video on the official Chevrolet YouTube page suggests that the new drop top muscle car will debut this Wednesday – we just don’t know when or where or how.

While there has been no official word from General Motors, a new rumor indicates that the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro could go on sale on August 13th, 2015 with production beginning the following week – a rumor that makes sense from some angles but not others.

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro looks primed and ready to compete with the new Ford Mustang here in the USA, but in the global muscle car war, the 6th gen Camaro will have a hard time competing with the Mustang without the right hand drive configuration that is needed in many markets.

It has been a frustrating first season for John Force Racing and their new Chevrolet Camaro funny cars, but this past weekend, the living legend scored his second win of the season and his second win in the new Camaro race car – beating one of the dominating Don Schumacher Dodge Charger teams.

The Chevrolet Corvette C7R showed that it is one of the best production based race cars in the world this past weekend, with the Corvette Racing crew claiming the 2015 24 Hours of LeMans win in the GTE Pro class – winning by 5 laps after a 24 hour long battle with a Ferrari 459 Italia.

Since the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro was introduced on Detroit’s Belle Isle a few weeks back, the battle between the Camaro and the Ford Mustang has heated up, leading me to put together a short “tale of the tape” piece showing the currently available vitals for these two American muscle cars.

Chevy Volt is building on some impressive numbers. Look what it has achieved so far in the past five years.

While we don’t know the exact number just yet, General Motors has reportedly turned in a record Nürburgring lap of some sort for the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and according to chief engineer Tadge Juechter, we should all know how fast the C7 Z06 got around the Ring very soon.

This past weekend, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS stopped by the MIFBody.com car show in Milford, Michigan, and one of the show’s attendees has posted a video of the 6th gen car leaving – offering us a chance to hear the new LT1 grumble in the new muscle car.

When the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro was introduced last month in Detroit, we learned that the new generation GM muscle car would come with a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine similar to that offered in the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost, but based on the specifications of the Camaro turbo 4, it seems very unlikely that GM will see the same success from their fuel-sipping model as Ford does – at least not in the United States.

While the new Cadillac ATS-V is an awesome compact performance sedan with a twin turbo V6 putting out 464hp and 445tq, Motor Trend has reported that General Motors is working on an even higher performance ATS-V that will pack the LS7 V8 that currently motivates the Chevrolet Camaro Z28.

General Motors brags about the Chevrolet Camaro outselling the Ford Mustang each of the past five years, but when you look at historic sales based on model year rather than calendar year, the Mustang has outsold the Camaro a whopping 42 times in the past 51 years – with Ford selling over 4.2 million more Mustangs than Chevy has sold Camaros.

The ink is barely dry on the many articles around the world discussing the debut of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, yet there are already renderings of the 2016 Camaro Convertible and the next gen Camaro Z28 popping up online – including these two beautiful images done by skilled automotive artist X-Tomi.
