Rumor: SRT “Hellcat” Challenger to Out-Muscle Current Viper
When the pony car wars ramped up a few years ago with the reintroduction of the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro, many expected Mopar to be the company to beat when it came to horsepower, as was the case the first time around back in the late 1960s when the burly 440 six-pack and 426 HEMI engines dominated drag strips around the country. However, Chrysler’s resistance to forced induction meant that when the supercharged ZL1 Camaro and Mustang GT500 hit the streets, SRT didn’t have the hardware to answer back with. That may be about to change in dramatic fashion, though.
Driven: 2014 Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Roush’s latest, greatest Mustang is perhaps only a victim of what we expected it to be rather than what it is. It is a blisteringly fast, visually and audibly loud vehicle that is about as rare as Mustangs can be. It’s the kind of vehicle that, despite the existence of better alternatives, is going to put a huge whopping smile on your face every time you drive it. That trait alone makes it a winner.
Rumors: Model News—Chevrolet Camaro Z28 All But A Sure Thing
Fans of the Chevrolet Camaro have been treated to some serious TLC by General Motors as of late. The Camaro ZL1 has been more than holding its own against the Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 in a battery of magazine comparison tests. In fact, it’s beaten the mighty Mustang in our very own comparo. And now, the Camaro faithful may have even more reason to celebrate—fan site GMAuthority came across a freshly filed GM patent for the name “Z28”.
Driven: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Coupe
Not surprisingly, this was a truly quick vehicle, capable of alarming speed. Like the CTS-V, there was more than enough power at idle to send the rear tires the way of the dodo. This was an entirely optional activity, though, as the power delivery and throttle response were quite smooth. In fact, we might argue that a sharper (or adjustable) throttle response could be fitted to make the ZL1 feel just a hair quicker off the line.
First Look: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 45th Anniversary Edition
We were so busy preparing our BBQ parties, nursing our first-of-the-season sun burns, watching racing, and lining up new convertibles to drive this last weekend, that we almost missed the fact the Chevrolet dropped the sheet on a new, special edition Camaro as well as details relevant to the 2012 Camaro line.
First Look: 2012 Chevrolet Camaro 45th Anniversary Special Edition
For 2012 the Chevrolet Camaro is getting an improved 323-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6, new performance suspension for the SS, new instrument panel, steering wheel, and avaliable rear-view camera. It’s also getting a 45th Anniversary Special Edition with a whole host of unique features to set it apart and celebrate the nameplate’s history.
Driven: 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible SS
Ever since the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro hit dealer forecourts for the 2010 model year, we have wanted—truly tried—to love the thing. What car guy wouldn’t?
Quick Drive: 2011 Cadillac CTS Coupe
The CTS Coupe may not rip as hard as the V version, but that’s just fine. It is still really good. The rear wheels will still break loose just a little during takeoff, and power seems to come to a crescendo in the middle part of the rev range. The ride is still comfortable and smooth, with relative quiet, but when pushed a bit, the CTS is not afraid to get aggressive. Shifts could come a little quicker from the steering-wheel-mounted buttons—and I’d still prefer proper paddles—but it’s not a slouch, and will shift cleanly through the gears as long as you pay close attention, or just let it shift on its own.
Quick Drive: 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 Track
This is a 306-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive, Korean muscle car. I know, it’s crazy. But it’s also very good. The Genesis Coupe packs a 3.8-liter V-6 that, besides the aforementioned 306 ponies, produces 266 pound-feet of torque, which for those keeping track at home puts it squarely in the range of the V-6 derivatives of the Ford Mustang (305 horsepower, 280 pound-feet of torque) and Chevrolet Camaro (312 horsepower, 278 pound-feet of torque).
2010 World Car Of The Year Winners: It’s A Volkswagen World
On April 1st at the New York International Auto Show, the sixth annual World Car Awards were handed out and the Volkswagen Group made out handsomely.
FireBreather Unveiling Leaves Attendees Seeing Red At AutoRama
If Chevrolet’s jet black Impala SS from the mid-1990s belonged to Darth Vader, behold the Emperor’s new ride, known as the FireBreather. Unveiled Friday in a spiffy ceremony at Detroit’s AutoRama, this oh-so-sexy Hollywood machine features 20 million layers of deep black paint over custom body work that has an undeniable late 1970s Firebird flavor, combined with menacing wheels and glowing red trim on the front clip. Call it sinister, or evil, or wickedly delightful; just don’t call it a Firebird Camaro.
Ask It: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS On Winter Tires
When you think of snowy, slushy, wintry driving, a Chevrolet Camaro isn’t necessarily the first vehicle that comes to mind. Naturally, when General Motors offered us the opportunity to test a Camaro SS outfitted with Pierlli Scorpion Ice & Snow tires in the middle of January, we accepted the challenge.
First Look: 2011 Ford Mustang GT Gets 5.0-Liter V-8 Power
The Mustang GT has always been one of our favorite sports cars, and there’s more to love for the 2011 model year — the Mustang GT gets an all-new 5.0-liter V-8 engine, producing 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque.
Driven: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, Decisions Decisions…
The obvious comparisons surrounding the all-new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro pit the reconstituted pony car against the Mustang and Challenger. Well duh. We submit, however, that the obvious overlooks something right before your eyes; a Camaro versus Camaro face off.
