Shelby American’s first vehicle based on the Ford Motor Company’s [NYSE:F] sixth-generation Mustang was the Shelby GT, which is built from a donor Mustang GT and delivers in excess of 600 horsepower thanks to a custom supercharger upgrade for the car’s 5.0-liter V-8. But as Shelby...

Professor Loco, or John Hennessey as he prefers to be called, is at it again. This time he's turned his tuning wrenches on the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat twins to give the cars a much-needed (?) shot of power. These cars come from the factory with a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine...

Blame it all on notorious badass Carroll Shelby. The man was a goddamn prophet. Back in 1965 he knew what was wrong with the Mustang—it needed more power. It doesn't take a genius to think that, but it took one to make it happen, and to make history. Shelby gave the pony car more power in the...

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro hits dealer lots late in 2015 and we can confirm the car will be priced from $26,695, including a $995 destination charge. That’s for the entry-level Camaro LT equipped with the new turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The car’s engine is rated at 275...

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] is currently holding its dealer group meeting in Las Vegas, during which it's showing the people who sell its vehicles the future of the company. Late last night our sources informed us that a new Barracuda is not only coming, but that it was shown in...

The Shelby name is recognized worldwide but until recently it was hard for the brand founded by the late Carroll Shelby to expand overseas due to the fact that the most popular car it worked on, the Ford Mustang, was never officially sold outside of North America. That all changed when the Ford...

Dodge's Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcats are arguably the best bang for your buck when it comes to dollars and horsepower. Let's face it, 707 horsepower (probably underrated) from the factory plus a warranty all for about $60k is a value for any enthusiast. Last month we heard that 2016 Hellcat...

I'll start this off by saying I'm a massive fan of most things Mopar. Additionally, I love watching those with many dollars available to them spend those dollars on all manner of vehicles that cross any number of the many auction blocks. This went down in grand fashion recently in Monterey. Yes, it...

The Chevrolet SS muscle sedan’s Australian cousin, the Holden Commodore, already has a high-performance variant built by HSV that’s fitted with the 580-horsepower 6.2-liter LSA V-8 engine common to the fifth-gen Camaro ZL1 as well as previous Cadillac CTS-V models. The car is called the...

Shelby, Boss, Mach 1, Bullitt. No model on the market celebrates its history more than the Ford Mustang. The Ford Motor Company [NYSE:F] is about to release the Shelby GT350 and GT350R Mustangs, promising that the R will be the best Mustang track car ever. And if a report from Automotive News...

Many moons ago, Dodge gave enthusiasts a shot in the arm when it unveiled the Hellcats--two cars that come from the factory with a 707-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8. Time could be running out on the Hellcats, as sources suggest all HEMIs in SRT models will be gone from the Dodge lineup...

Last year’s Galpin Rocket proved to be such a hit that the people behind the 725-horsepower muscle car, Galpin Auto Sports and Henrik Fisker, have followed it up with a convertible version. Called the Galpin Rocket Speedster, the car is on show this weekend at the 2015 Pebble Beach Concours...

One of the reasons muscle car fans remember the Mopar products of the early 1970s so fondly is the bright and slightly off-kilter "High Impact" colors that were offered at the time. Dodge revived the High Impact colors in 2006 and has offered them since, but perhaps the most noteworthy of those...

You want one. We want one. Everyone is going to want one. We're talking about the new 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350. From that delightful 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V-8 engine to, well the noise from that delightful flat-plane crank V-8, we're sold. Now we know exactly how much we need to spend...

Ford is aiming to make the 2016 Shelby GT350R Mustang the most nimble, fun-to-drive, most track capable Mustang yet. The engineering appears to be there. To the impressive latest generation Mustang chassis, Ford has added MagneRide dampers; big brakes with two-piece rotors, 6-piston front calipers...

According to Ford Motor Company, the forthcoming Shelby GT350R Mustang is as quick around a racetrack as the Porsche 911 GT3. Well, one track anyway. In independent testing conducted at Grattan Raceway in Belding, Michigan, the Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang posted a lap time equal to that of the...

If someone ever invents a time machine, we’re inclined to head back to 1991. The Cold War was over, the U.S economy was healthy, real estate still appreciated in value and the quickest car in America was a pickup truck. We’re not sure why we count that in the plus column, but we do...

Unprecedented demand for the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcat duo means Fiat Chrysler Automobiles [NYSE:FCAU] will need to double the cars’ current rate of production. Unfortunately, the increase in production won’t start until the switchover to 2016 model year examples this...
