We brought you the first pricing for the 2015 Ford F150 earlier this week which includes increases across the board, but those increases are very minimal when you take into consideration the added cost of the aluminum combined with the new standard features, it leads me to believe that Ford Motor Company is eating some of the added cost of the aluminum body panels – at least on the lower prices trimlines.

It seems like every day brings a new rumor that suggests that the 2106 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 will be more like a higher performance version of the 2013 Boss 302 and if the next generation Shelby Mustang is priced in the ballpark of the previous Boss – Ford could have themselves a bargain budget Camaro Z/28 killer.

Even though the order banks for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat haven’t opened yet, dealerships around the country are already taking orders for the 707 horsepower muscle car, but those hoping to reserve one of these Mopar monsters should be prepared to shell out some very big money – about $15,000 to be exact.

This past weekend marked the second event for the “new” Dodge Viper SRT GTS-R and like the Team Oreca Dodge Vipers of the 1990s and 2000s – the red and white V10 powered race car drove to a dominant victory on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

The performance world is eagerly awaiting the arrival of the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang, but the automotive artists from Gurnade have offered up an incredible rendering of what they think the GT350 will look like – and I love what they have come up with as it is (in my opinion) the most realistic looking GT350 rendering thus far.

Auctioning off the first unit of a special car has become commonplace with the Detroit automakers should it comes as no surprise that 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat #0001 will roll across the Barrett Jackson Las Vegas auction later this year – with a chance of the most powerful American production car ever having a chance to be the most expensive ever.

When General Motors announced that they were recalling every single 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro, it created quite the stir in the Camaro community as owners rejected the idea of trading in their switchblade key for a boring individual key and fob combo – but I have learned that Camaro owners can opt out of the key replacement recall by signing a simple form.
