We live in amazing times. You can, right now, go to a dealership and put a deposit down on a four-door family sedan that will go faster than 200 miles-per-hour and cost less than $65,000.

The 911 Turbo, with all-wheel drive and a 3.6L turbocharged flat six engine is the stuff of legend. It’s an everyday supercar with mind-blistering performance. So you’d think, as an owner, you’d be able to wipe the floor clean in a drag race against a go-kart. Well, you’d be wrong!

We already know that the Tesla Model S is fast, with its electric motor making 100% torque from 0 RPM. But to make it faster, Elon Musk decided that the Model S needed all-wheel drive.

Is there such thing as too much horsepower? The owner of this modified 2000 hp Lamborghini Gallardo might be thinking so after it ends up in a pond during a 1/2 mile drag strip run.

The 2015 Houston Auto Show is full of automotive exotica to make you drool. Aston Martin is there with eight different vehicles. I saw at least two Porsche 918 Spyders as well. But the real star of the show is a dark blue Pagani Huayra.

Porsche is rumored to be going with all turbo engines in the near future, so the naturally aspirated Panamera might be going with it, but still expect the new car to outperform the previous generation.

In the realm of horsepower-per-dollar spent, the Dodge Challenger Hellcat can hardly be beat. It’s in your face, it’s fast, and it’s cheap. It’s designed to handle 100 degree days at the drag strip without an issue.
