Over the past few months, Corvette fans have been flocking to Bowling Green Kentucky to see the eight historic models damaged during the sinkhole collapse before those cars were shipped back to GM for repairs, but after careful consideration, it has been decided that only 3 of the 8 cars will be repaired and sadly, the sinkhole exhibit in the Skydome will be sealed up.
In the past few days, the image above of what many believe is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro has been circulating around the internet and while most people are passing it off as just another rendering, some people are reposting it as being an actual image of the 6th gen Camaro and sadly…those people are very wrong.
The new 5.0L V8 engine that will power the 2015 Ford Mustang GT will feature a factory forged bottom end and a reinforced engine block that could allow for quick and easy integration of a forced induction setup – allowing the newest Mustang GT to potentially pack over a thousand horsepower on the stock bottom end.
The Chrysler Group has rolled out all of the information on the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT and as expected, the new high performance SUV gets some improvements including a bit more power and a new noise cancelling system, but in an unexpected move, there is no significant price hike with the new model year – as the price increases by just $115.
Since the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was introduced before Detroit’s Woodward Dream Cruise, the popular topic of discussion has shifted to the pricing of the world’s most powerful 4-door sedan so using what we know of 2014 Charger pricing, 2014 Challenger pricing and 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat pricing – I offer you my estimates of what I expect to show up on the bottom line of the 707hp Charger’s monroney.
I have crunched the numbers for August 2014 sales and although Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sales dipped a bit last month, GM still sold enough C7 Corvettes to both crush the Dodge Viper and outsell the entire lineup of Porsche cars – making the Stingray once again the bestselling premium sports car sold in the USA.
One of the most hotly contested aspects of the 2015 Ford Mustang high performance model – presumably set to be called the Shelby GT350 – is what will be packed under the hood and new Ford dealership information suggests that the new GT350 will be powered by a new 5.2L V8.
Sales numbers for August 2014 are in and for the 5th month in a row, the Chevrolet Camaro has bested the Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang – making it the bestselling sports car in the US and helping the Camaro to continue to build its lead in an effort to win a 5th straight sports car sales title.
The embargo on 2015 Dodge Viper information has finally lifted, meaning that I can now talk about the return of the Viper to the Dodge brand, the two new colors, the new GT trimline and the improved aerodynamics of the Time Attack package – all of which combine to improve an already stunning American supercar lineup.
General Motors does not currently market the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in the Chinese market, but thanks to grey market importers, there are a few new Corvettes available for sale in China – which will set you back at least $273,237 American dollars based on the current conversion rates.
It has been all but official that the highest performance version of the 2015 Ford Mustang would be the new Shelby GT350 and while there is still no positive confirmation from Ford Motor Company, the folks at Mustang6g.com have found what appears to be the first image of the 2015/2016 GT350 Mustang badge – further confirmed unofficially that the next super-Stang will continue to wear the Shelby name.
The Chrysler Group has offered up the first information and images of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak, a purpose built race car that is based closely on the production road model right down to the Hellcat-like front end, but rather than the supercharged 6.2L Hemi, the 2015 Drag Pak test car is powered by a naturally aspired 426 cubic inch race Hemi.
Ford Motor Company has announced that their partnership with OPI to offer unique Ford Mustang themed colors to celebrate the iconic pony car’s 50th anniversary has resulted in more than 4,000,000 bottles sold – which is a stunning figure but it could have been higher with a few simple changes.
The arrival of the 2015 Ford F150 is right around the corner and while the Motor Company will offer five trimlines plus the FX4 Off Road package, there has been no word on the future of the sporty Tremor package – which is a shame considering the many upsides to the small, powerful F150.
The Dodge community has collectively mourned the loss of the Magnum sport wagon since it was killed off in 2008, but the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Shooting Brake rendering done by Hansen Art could be a 707 horsepower muscle wagon that we could all love…albeit only in our dreams.
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette was offered in four basic trimlines with three equipment groups for each and through the entire model year, the Z51 3LT coupe is the most popular configuration of the C7 Stingray – while Torch Red was the most commonly chosen color among the 37,288 2014 Corvettes sold.
After much speculation as to when the 2015 Ford Mustang fastback and convertible would begin rolling off of the Flat Rock Assembly line, Ford Motor Company announced this morning that today is officially the start of production for the next generation pony car – meaning that the first 2015 Mustangs intended for public sale will be completed by day’s end.
We were so busy drooling over the fact that the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the world’s most powerful sport sedan at the recent media debut that we forgot to mention one piece of very disappointing news – neither the Hellcat powered Challenger or Charger will be offered in Europe.
General Motors recently offered up a breakdown of sales figures for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and with 37,288 units built for the first model year of the C7, 2014 was one of the best model years for Corvette production in the past few decades – with more Corvettes built for 2014 than were built for 2012, 2013 and most of 2011 combined.
General Motors has issued a recall for the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro and several other GM vehicles over a concern that the bolts holding together the steering assembly and portions of the front suspension may not have been properly tightened – possibly leading to a sudden loss of control while driving.
