Currently on its way to the United States, the final example was finished in black and equipped with a manual transmission.

Many enthusiasts dream of collecting prized vehicles throughout their lives, but not many begin with a simple trade. That's exactly how the Speed family came to collect Ford Mustangs, though. The Speed siblings (what a last name in conjunction with the family's passion) recall their father, Gilbert Speed, gave them an ultimatum about the family's pet pony. "If you guys won’t ride him, I know what I’ll do with him,” Gilbert's son, Daniel Speed, recalled. In turn, their father traded the pony for a 1965 Ford Mustang--a very different kind of pony.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Ford F-150 Raptor race around, over a mountain
It was the question burning on our minds for all of 10 minutes: What's the quickest way to conquer a mountain? Around, or over? Like a forced induction race between a rabbit and a super-powered rabbit, we took the strongest examples to Sugarloaf mountain. Motor Authority editors Andrew Ganz and...

Hellcat driver rips a burnout all the way through 7th gear
A burnout is fun. A burnout in which you shift into second gear is hilarious fun. If you drive one of Dodge's Charger or Challenger SRT Hellcats, you can keep that fun going all the way through your first seven gears. This was recently proven on a quiet city street in Poland, with a camera rolling...

Dyno reveals Hennessey's Exorcist Camaro ZL1 puts down 959 hp at rear wheels
Hennessey Performance Engineering had one goal when it announced the arrival of the Exorcist Camaro ZL1: Cast out the demon. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, that is. On paper, it sure looks like it has enough to answer the Dodge Demon's call. HPE revealed the Exorcist Camaro ZL1 would make...

How fast is the Dodge Demon on pump gas, in Eco mode?
We all know the lofty claims. The 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is the fastest production car in the quarter mile with a time of 9.65 seconds and in the 0-60 mph sprint at just 2.3 seconds. However, those numbers require 100+ octane racing fuel and the optional Direct Connection engine...

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE has returned to the Nürburgring, and it's ready to take some names. Following the Camaro ZL1's stellar performance at The Green Hell, where the car clocked a 7.29.60 time, the Camaro ZL1 1LE with its added track capability is likely to only shave precious time off of the already quick lap. This video from YouTube channel StatesideSupercars shows the car in what's likely to be an official attempt on setting a Nürburgring lap time. Introduced at the 2017 Daytona 500, the Camaro ZL1 1LE adds more aggressive aerodynamics to the sixth-generation Camaro...

Watch a stock 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1 run 0-60 in 3.6 seconds, then hit 180 mph
It's safe to say the engineers on the Chevrolet Camaro program have successfully executed one beast of a car. If that wasn't already apparent from its on-paper specs, and the fact we even found it too fast to be fun in some cases, this 0-180 mph acceleration video should do the trick to convince...

The fat Dodge Demon brakes harder than a Viper ACR
Haters love to bash the Hellcats, and already the Demon, for only going fast in a straight line. They pounce on the fact that these Mopar muscle cars weigh over two tons. While that's true, weight is only one piece of the equation. Despite being somewhat "fat," the Demon is good at more than just...

Dodge Demon can actually do 0-60 mph in 2.1 seconds, but there's a catch
Dodge unveiled the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon and immediately made some very big claims. From having the most powerful production V-8 engine in history to running the quarter mile and 0-60 mph quicker than any production car on Earth. That's a lot of big talk, but Dodge was smart and had it all...

Everybody, including Dodge, needs to stop saying the Demon's banned from the dragstrip by the NHRA, because it's not. It can be banned for a day because it's too damn fast. Let's back up. Dodge built the hype around the 2018 Challenger SRT Demon to a boiling point, and with good reason. The car is mighty impressive. With the most powerful V-8 in production car history, and the ability to pull 1.8 g in acceleration off the line, the only haters seem to be Tesla fanboys. Dodge says the Demon's capable of a 9.65 quarter mile at 140 mph, and that was certified by the NHRA. So, why does Dodge...

How the Dodge Demon runs a 9.65 quarter mile and a 2.3-second 0-60
Dodge will tell you that the Challenger Hellcat can run an 11.20 ET in the quarter mile, a number that can go as low as 10.80 with drag radials. But Dodge didn't build the 707-horsepower Hellcat as a drag car. It built it as an everyday muscle car, and getting its (relatively) skinny 275-millimeter...
