Dodge is set to introduce a mild update for its Challenger for the 2015 model year, an update that's expected to include the addition of a supercharged HEMI V-8 in a new range-topping SRT model tipped to be called the Hellcat. The good news is that buyers won’t have to opt for the supercharged V-8 if they’re seeking more power, as the Challenger’s existing V-8 offerings are all reportedly due for some power upgrades as part of the 2015 model year update. According to Allpar, the 5.7-liter V-8 in the Challenger R/T and 6.4-liter in the regular Challenger SRT will both get a...

Engineers working on the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 are wildly addicted to the idea of improving the aerodynamics of the car. This is a machine that is designed to devour race tracks, and in order to do so it must stick to the road and slip through the air. There's a large splitter up front, a big spoiler out back, and a host of other aero upgrades to help the Z/28 reach its goals. There's one more rather unique upgrade to the car that you might not spot at first glance, and it involves the Bowtie badge mounted in the grille.

Muscle cars have never been the most sophisticated of things. For most of their history, they've relied on great looks and brute force--and captivated hearts and minds as a result. More recently though, things have changed. Muscle car customers today want their cars to go around corners too, so the cars have become much more sophisticated as a result. Latest into the fray is the 2014 Camaro Z/28, which Chevy tells us is its quickest production Camaro yet, quicker than even the more powerful ZL1. WATCH: Meet The World's First Mustang Owner: Video To achieve this status, engineers of the...
