Automotive News Discussion

[RawrImAMonster]

I'm kind of surprised we don't have a thread to discuss automotive news in general already. There has been a lot of interesting auto news out recently with the new wrx, new mustang, new corvette etc.

Obviously, for this week, the big news is the next generation mustang was revealed: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/05/2015-ford-mustang-official-photos-reveal-info/">http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/05/2015 ... veal-info/</a><!-- m -->

I was pretty disappointed with the looks when the pictures of the v6 model leaked out a few days ago, but the new mustang GT looks pretty damn good and it seems like it's going to be a great performer since they finally added IRS and all of the models are expected to lose weight and have a bump in power. The figures I heard for the GT were minus 200 lbs from the current gen and HP in the 450 range.





The other piece of news I'm interested in this week is the fact that the reveal of the C7 Z06 is going to be next month at the detroit auto show. Also interesting is that it will likely have a forced induction motor rather than a giant N/A motor like the past. Some early photochops of the car can be seen here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/06/2015-chevy-corvette-z06-leaked-photo/">http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/06/2015 ... ked-photo/</a><!-- m -->
