Back when we only knew that the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 would have “at least” 625hp and 635lb-ft of torque, GM brass stated that it would be priced similarly to the C6 Z06, but with the C7 Z06 likely beating the previous Corvette ZR1 in every day – I really have to question the idea of the new Z06 costing as much as the old Z06.

The 2015 Ford Mustang will be the first of the fabled pony cars marketed on a global scale so to show off the new Mustang V8 on one of the biggest European stages possible – Ford Motor Company sent a professionally driven Mustang GT to the famous Goodwood Hill Climb for the new muscle car’s first racing effort.

Now that we know that the new 6.2L Hellcat Hemi will provide 2015 Dodge Challenger owners with 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, offering even a watered down version of the Hellcat in the Dodge Charger SRT will make it the most powerful sport sedan in the world – comfortably overpowering anything from the European automakers.

General Motors recently announced a recall of every 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro to replace the switchblade style key fob, but in reading all over the internet and in speaking with some Camaro owners it is very clear that many owners want to keep their key fobs – even if they go through with the recall repairs.

When it was announced last week that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would come with 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, I referred to it as the most powerful American production car of all time and after getting some feedback on that claim, I wanted to take a moment to justify why I believe that to be true.

When the 6th generation Chevrolet Camaro debuts for the 2016 model year, General Motors will have their work cut out for them to have a muscle car that will compete with the 707 horsepower Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat – and it is questionable whether GM will try at all since they probably wont want to trump the Corvette Z06.

Sales figures for the Chevrolet Corvette dipped just a bit through June 2014, but GM still moved enough C7 Stingray coupes and convertibles to outsell the SRT Viper by almost 7000% - allowing the Corvette to very comfortably dominate the American high dollar performance car market while the Viper struggles.

Last week we brought you the first look at the 2015 Ford Mustang that has already been redesigned by the folks at Saleen, but after seeing the 2015 Saleen S302 Mustang, critics all over the internet are crying foul because they believe that this aftermarket package makes the next generation Mustang look too much like the current Chevrolet Camaro.

When the Chrysler Group announced last week that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would pack an incredible 707 horsepower along with a beefier 8-speed automatic transmission, some were concerned that there wouldn’t be a manual transmission for the Hellcat – but I am happy to report that the most powerful American production car ever will indeed have a manual transmission option.

Since we began talking about the 6th generation Chevrolet Camaro coming for the 2016 model year, it has been expected that it would look like a revised version of the 5th generation models, but a new rumor indicates that it could undergo a more substantial exterior refresh that could have styling more similar to that of the second generation Camaro.
