Granted, Peter Cunningham may be the most amiable team owner and driver engaged in Pirelli World Challenge Series racing. He has a lot to smile about these days.
The Subaru WRX S4 was the first. A 2017 Subaru Legacy is the latest Japan-only model to get the upgraded SporVita leather interior. Will we see it in other global markets?
We already learned what colors the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger will wear when the 2017 model year vehicles arrive, but today FCA offered up a few cool graphics showing all of the available colors on the silhouette of each Mopar muscle car.
It’s not every day that Honda fans have the opportunity to order an affordable out of the box race car. Such is the case with the Brit built 10th generation based Civic Type-R.
After a bunch of outlets misread or simply disregarded the information on the upcoming Dodge Challenger all-wheel drive and American Drag Racing models, it was incorrectly reported that the Challenger street legal drag racing package would have all-wheel drive, but that is incorrect – as has been clarified by the folks at Automotive News.
General Motors has announced that those folks who buy a brand new Cadillac CTS-V or ATS-V will get a free two-day course at Spring Mountain Motor Resort in Las Vegas, where they will learn from skilled racing instructors how to best handle their high performance luxury cars – and it is free (for the most part)!
The folks at Shelby American have rolled out the information on their new Ford Mustang GTE package and while I love the look of the appearance-heavy package, I don’t like the price – as for $17,999 for the components alone, the new Mustang GTE is a pricey option for someone who wants a unique pony car.
FCA featured an all-wheel drive Dodge Challenger Concept called the GT AWD last year at the SEMA Show and according to the crew at Automotive News, that all-wheel drive muscle car will become a production reality starting later this year – although it is unclear which engine will be tucked under the hood.
In a bold move that may surprise those that don’t follow the ever evolving escapades of Honda Performance Development, and the race teams that power up with the assistance and support of Honda’s racing arm, American Honda puts its money where its mouth is.
In addition to offering up the bulk of the information on the 2017 Dodge Charger and 2017 Dodge Challenger in their high performance SRT Hellcat forms, FCA also posted a pair of videos showing the two 707 horsepower muscle cars tolling around the handling track at the Chelsea Proving Grounds – along with giving us the best look yet at the new 5Deep Hellcat wheels.
The sales numbers are in for August 2016 and even though muscle car sales slumped a bit last month, the Ford Mustang continued its remarkable 22 month streak of leading the monthly sales race – beating both the Chevrolet Camaro and the Dodge Challenger by sizeable amounts once again.
Since the Fiat 500 Abarth was introduced, it has been my favorite car in the subcompact class without any real competition, but with the introduction of the automatic transmission for the Abarth, could the turbocharged 500 be as much fun? Not quite – but it is very close.
FCA has rolled out all of the vital information for the 2017 model year Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger, with a new infotainment system across the entire model range and new features for Hellcat models including more Hellcat logos inside and out, new lightweight wheels and an SRT steering wheel logo that glows red at night.
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.
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.
The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro configurator has gone live at Chevrolet.com and in a surprising move, General Motors has added a price increase of $605 to every trimline and – sadly – there is no mention of the new Camaro 1LE or ZL1 just yet.
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.
