Elon Musk has introduced his new Tesla P85D with dual motors, all wheel drive and the most impressive performance specifications in the electric vehicle segment, but while the Elon’s big surprise most certainly rocks the EV world – the high powered Model S still falls short of the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat while costing almost twice as much.

Now that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is becoming readily available around the country, I wanted to take a quick walkthrough of the configurator tool to price out my ideal C7 Vette, which will most certainly include some features that weren’t offered with the 2014 models.
When the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat was introduced with a 707 horsepower supercharged Hemi mated to a new 8-speed automatic transmission, it was widely believed that sales of the self-shifting model would eclipse the manual transmission, but during the first phase of ordering, the proper manual transmission is outselling the high tech automatic.
We knew that we would be seeing some solid performance numbers for the 2015 Ford Mustang once it reached the hands of private owners and with one of those first private owners being the tuning super gurus at SCT Performance, we have some great stock drag strip numbers and very impressive stock horsepower numbers for the next gen pony car.
