  • Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro

    Despite arriving in dealer showrooms just a month ago, the 2019 Ford Mustang has received a price increase. The refreshed 2019 Camaro, meanwhile, arrives with a price cut. It's not just a horsepower war as the automakers adjust their pricing strategies to capture sales and maximize profits. Ford's upward price move isn't a terribly dramatic one. According to Cars Direct, the destination charge increases by $95 for all trim levels, rising from $900 to $995. Along with that hike, a few other Mustangs rise in price. Every Mustang powered by the 310-horsepower 2.3-liter turbo-4 jumps $275. That...

  • 2019 Chevrolet Camaro

    The sixth-generation Camaro was a huge improvement over its predecessor, but with the Ford Mustang having just received a round of updates, along with the promise of a new Shelby GT500, this is no time for team Camaro to get complacent. It's no surprise then that Chevrolet has introduced its own updates for the Camaro for the 2019 model year. The list includes minor visual tweaks aimed at improving the car's aerodynamics and cooling, along with the addition of new performance and safety technologies. The biggest visual cue for the 2019 Camaro is the more streamlined face, whose grille and...

  • Hennessey Exorcist Camaro ZL1 hits 217 mph during top speed run
    Hennessey's Exorcist Camaro is quicker in the 1/4 mile than the Dodge Demon

    You can bet Hennessey Performance Engineering had one figure in mind when developing the Exorcist Chevrolet Camaro ZL1: the Dodge Challenger Demon's 9.65-second quarter-mile time. And it's not a surprise HPE was able to top the 9.65-second time with a 9.57-second quarter-mile run. Hennessey...

  • 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE

    Last June, a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE managed to lap Germany's Nürburgring Nordschleife in a time of only 7:16.04. It's a time only a handful of rear-wheel-drive cars have beaten, and coming as no surprise they're all a lot more expensive than the Chevy. But the 640-horsepower ZL1 1LE isn't the end of the performance road, at least as far as the 6th-generation Camaro is concerned. That's according to Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser who in an interview with Hagerty, published Monday, revealed that there's much more in store for the Camaro, including potentially drag-oriented...

  • This Hennessey Exorcist ZL1 1LE customer gets the ride of his life

    For most people, anything north of 400 horsepower is quite intimidating. It's a massive amount of waiting energy that's set to be released at a moment's notice.

One such vehicle is the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Thanks to its 6.2-liter supercharged V-8, there's 650 horsepower on tap. But if you need even more, you can always ring up John Hennessey at Hennessey Performance Engineering. The Texas tuner is happy to dial your Camaro ZL1...
