2013 Porsche Boxster
Porsche has just lifted the curtain on the newest version of their popular roadster, the Boxster. The overhauled drop top has a sleeker, curvier, and more aggressive appearance akin to its future stablemate, the 918 hybrid supercar. Power will come from your choice of a 265 horsepower 2.7 liter flat six ($49,500) or the top of the line "S" model ($60,900) which packs 3.4 liter with 315 horsepower and a 0-60 time of 4.7 seconds.

Dodge Charger Redline by Mopar
Mopar is bringing some serious power to the Charger in time for the Detroit Auto Show. While we could detail each of the three kits, its the Stage Three kit that has our mouths watering. The Stage Three option puts a 426 Hemi crate motor under the hood which delivers an incredible 590 horsepower. Only problem is that you'll only get to put that power to work on the track due to emissions laws. Though we doubt you'll be complaining when your Charger is devouring the asphalt and anything in its way at the local track. Link
