Ford is throwing gasoline onto the firefight between the Mustang and Camaro by claiming the upcoming 2016 Shelby GT350R Mustang is faster around a track than a Camaro Z/28 and just as fast as a Porsche 911 GT3. The Blue Oval has also leaked other information on the car it claims is the fastest Mustang ever built.

What happens when a really expensive Lambo takes on a less-expensive Lambo on a dragstrip? Check out the video of this race between a Lamborghini Aventador and a Huracán. As a topper, you get to hear a Russian announcer get all excited about the finish.

As part of its performance car product assault, Ford is readying the 345-horsepower 2016 Focus RS. For a few moments, the Ford website listed the starting price for its new hot hatch, and the mid $30K pricetag seems reasonable given its expected performance capability.
