VIDEO: Corvette Racing Program Track to Street

Friday, April 23, 2010

One of the things we really like about the New General Motors is the company’s newfound openness. They are really listening to consumers and engaging on social media sites like Twitter and the like. Also, they’ve been creating new videos that explain product. This one just so happens to be about the quickest and most [...]

Hennessey Venom GT: The 725bhp V8 Lotus Elise

John Hennessey is obviously the modern-day Carroll Shelby. And while Shelby may have one foot in the grave (not two), it’s obvious that the Texas-based tuner is stepping up to take over where ol’ Shel left off. For one thing, HPE is perhaps the most reputable tuner when it comes to extracting huge, reliable horsepower [...]

We Are In The Golden Age Of The Automobile.

I’m sure this has been said during every era of automotive history at one point or another. Perhaps not during the mid-seventies, but otherwise technology continues to march on, and everything continues to get better.

Coinciding with the new “May the Best Car Win” tagline (and recently, the CTS-V Challenge) the GM “60 Money Back Guarantee” was launched. Many speculated the program could be quite risky if many took it up. That has been far from the case though. Proof of the program’s success is in the statistics. Only 100 [...]

Through good time and bad, the Chevrolet Corvette has continuously been a standout at GM no matter what the rest of the company has looked like. While as successful as ever, the current car has taken an evolutionary and blander approach than some would have liked though. It’s GM’s Porsche 911, if you will. The [...]

Video: Corvette ZR-1 Chasing Murcielago LP670-4 SV

Some people have all the luck. Like AutoCar’s Steve Sutcliffe, who recently had the chance to chase one of Lamborghini’s test drivers around the challenging hill track at the Millbrook Proving Grounds.

When researching information for my article on SV Motor Car’s 9 Competizione and other coachbuilding manufacturers, I came across one that I haven’t seen before. I think coachbuilding is such an unique industry and I love seeing the creative things the companies come up with. Other than the 789 from N2A Motors, it seems as if most [...]

The Corvette is a performance vehicle that has been an enduring icon. In it’s current generation, GM has chosen to take the car even beyond it’s usual level of performance. Normally the Z06 has been the highest-end Corvette model. Enthusiasts wanted more though and GM saw the money-making (and image making) potential of giving it [...]
