General Motors announced this morning that they are recalling every single Chevrolet Camaro from the current generation, with these 2010-2014 models facing similar ignition risks as the millions of recalled compact cars that lead to a handful of accidents and roughly a dozen deaths – while also issuing a stop-sale order to dealerships on both new and used Camaros.
While there still aren’t “official” weight figures for the 2015 Ford Mustang, the folks at Mustang6g have gotten a hold of information said to be from dealership information and while these numbers are a little higher than the figures for the 2014 models – the 2015 Mustang weighs significantly less than what the rumors suggested.
Very little has changed for the 2015 model year of the Chevrolet Camaro so not surprisingly, very little has changed with the pricing of the 2015 Camaro – although there is one increase and one decrease across the trimlines while the vast majority of prices remain the same.
Ford Motor Company kind of shocked the world when they introduced the new 2015 Ford F150 pickup with a body that is comprised heavily of aluminum rather than steel and when (not if) the newest F150 succeeds – we will quickly see the competition follow suit as the other truck makers scramble to keep up with the bestselling truck in the world.

This past week, details have begun to surface regarding the next generation Porsche Boxster, and what type of motor will be powering the iconic roadster. Current speculation is that Porsche will dial back from the current flat six and introduce a range of flat four motors. The most likely scenario going into production would be a 2.0L and a 2.5L.
Since the new 2015 Ford F150 was introduced in Detroit with a body that is heavily construction from aluminum, all of the attention has been paid to the fuel economy benefits and the toughness of the materials – but this new lightweight F150 could also account for the most impressive SVT Lightning sport truck ever.
While we still don’t know for sure if the high performance S550 will be called the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang – the folks at Road & Track caught one of the new super-Stangs leaving a parking lot in California and the exhaust tone of what we expect to be a high performance 5.0L Coyote engine is nothing shy of awe inspiring.
When the announcement was made to discontinue the SRT brand, it was reported by some that the 2015 Chrysler 300C would not get an SRT variant like the 2015 Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger, but a new report from Allpar suggests that the highest performance Chrysler sedan will live on into the 2015 model year – just without the Hellcat Hemi.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is promised to pack at least 600 horsepower and at least 575lb-ft of torque when it arrives later this year, but the most impressive aspect of this new Mopar muscle car might just be the untapped potential of the supercharged Hellcat Hemi.
When the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 finally reaches the garages of lucky owners around the country it will be one of the most powerful cars in the world and it very well could be one of the most track capable street legal cars of all time – possibly putting an end to the ongoing horsepower war in the US market.
