It may already be sold out, but that doesn't mean this video of the designers of the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible sold by Neiman Marcus isn't worth watching. I stumbled across it on YouTube this afternoon, and for the hard-core Camaro freak, it's worth a peek. [Chevrolet]

This is an 850 horsepower engine that was destined to end up in a customized Mustang. Or was, rather. The engine was on its seventh dynamometer test when it gave up the ghost in spectacular fashion. Watch below as the engine says good-bye with such force that some engine parts ended up in the next...

The numbers don't lie, and Ford has conceded what we already suspected--the Chevrolet Camaro will outsell the Ford Mustang in 2010. Through the end of November, Chevy had sold 75,685 Camaros, compared to 68,264 Mustangs (Dodge sold 33,461 Challengers). So barring a run on Mustangs during this final...

Since the rebirth of the Dodge Challenger, custom houses and rumor mongers have had a field day with reinterpretations of the Barracuda, or 'Cuda, name. Now Chrysler has put a more official stamp on the subject, apply to register a trademark for "Cuda" with the U.S. Patent and Trade Office last...

Can’t wait any longer for Chevrolet to release its new supercharged Z28 Camaro? Not to worry as you only have to flick through the latest 2011 GM Performance Parts catalog to satisfy all your performance and customization desires. It contains more than 300 pages of crate engines, parts and...

We've known for months now that Dodge would be dropping a new 6.4-liter (392 cubic-inch) Hemi V-8 into its SRT8 variant of the new 2011 Dodge Challenger, and then in late October we finally saw it. Now we have some insight into the kind of power delivery we can expect from the big cube V-8 thanks...

This video will hurt Mustang lovers--with the possible exception of those who REALLY love fire. On the other hand, I can hear Camaro fan-boys snickering. This particular 2008 Shelby GT500 was dubbed "Blue Diamond" by its owner, and thanks to a bunch of modifications, including a supercharger...

Ford is developing a new performance package for its 2012 model year Mustang V-6 but it needs your help. The Blue Oval is calling on its Facebook fans, more specifically, the Ford Mustang Facebook community, of which there are more than 940,000 members, to come up with a new name for the...

Pontiac may be long gone but some enthusiasts have been clamoring for at least one of the brand’s cars to be rebadged and sold under another GM brand: the Australian-built Pontiac G8. Designed and constructed by GM's Holden subsidiary Down Under, the G8 had been rumored for re-branding as a...

The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is out from under the covers, ready for its world debut tomorrow at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. It's precisely what you'd expect, since the car has been out as an almost identical concept for about three years now, but there are a few surprises. The...

The 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 might not be your first pick for a seriously capable, high-end performance coupe, but it should be on your short list at the very least. While it's still a Mustang on the inside--a very nice Mustang, but still--it's every inch the equal to much more sophisticated vehicles...

Muscle car fans and revheads in general now have another reason to salivate over the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 as the Blue Oval has just announced a new feature for the car called TracKey. Not to be mistaken with the MyKey nanny system for nervous parents, the new TracKey unlocks...

The 2011 Shelby GT500 is an impressive beast, as we showed you from our first drive at Virgina International Raceway (complete with video). But now Shelby and Nelson Racing Engines have decided to team up to make the 2007-2009 GT500 something truly unique, with the aid of a pair of turbochargers...

We've seen Mustangs that can break nine seconds in the quarter-mile, and now we know of at least one aftermarket Camaro that is coming close to breaking nine seconds as well. This LS9-powered Lingenfelter Camaro with the six-speed manual transmission came very close to breaking the nine-second...

The 'Cuda. A pony car-turned-muscle car legend born into a brand that's no longer with us: Plymouth. But the fact that its original parent marque is gone doesn't necessarily rule out a return of the 'Cuda as muscle cars like the Challenger, Camaro, and Mustang continue their return to the...

We already brought you a preview, but now we have some more details on the Pony Girl Mustang being shown off at SEMA. Built by Creations 'n Chrome to raise awareness for breast cancer, the Pony Girl Mustang sports more than just a pink paint job. The car has a Vortech supercharger, a nitrous-oxide...

Chevrolet has released information on the four Camaros it is bringing to this week's SEMA show in Las Vegas, and here's the skinny. First up, we have the Synergy Series 2011 Camaro. Chevy is going to be releasing a special-edition Camaro every year, with each car showing different approaches to...

We've already brought you news about the 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 and the 2011 Dodge Challenger V-6, and now we know how much each model will set you back. If you want the Challenger looks but don't need the honkin' V-8, you can pick up a 305-horsepower V-6 SE for a base price of $24,670, and...

From the 2011 Mustang GT to the 2012 Boss 302, there's a lot to like in the new Mustang lineup. And Ford, along with several aftermarket companies, will be doing their best to improve (or ruin, depending on your perspective) the 2011 'Stang for SEMA with this small herd of ponies. First up, we have...

There are many behind-the-scenes players in the automotive industry that few on the outside ever hear of, despite their huge contributions. Heide Performance Products (HPP) is one such company, designing and building some of the most cherished cars on the streets, including the previous Dodge...
