Handful is probably not the best word I’d use when describing a 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro that’s pushing over 1000 hp. It’s probably better to call it a death machine, or fulfilling your life insurance policy early, or something to that nature. Or if you are the man that built it, you could describe it as fun as all hell, and I’m inclined to agree with him.
A few months ago we showed you the first spy shots of the new Cadillac ATS-V.R racecar built by the guys from Pratt & Miller, the same outfit that built the C7.R racecar and the same race team that helped Chevy engineer the new C7 Z06 road car. Now with the subsequent leak of the new ATS-V road car, GM just announced that the racing version will debut alongside its road going sibling.
In addition to the announcement of the ATS-V, and the subsequent leak of a few images of the car, Cadillac has responded to the pressure and released this wonderful video of the new ATS-V doing its best Ken Block impression by slaying its tires.
I don’t know if you all have been following my exploits over the past year, but I’ve become a bit of a Chevy fanatic in respects to loving the new Camaro. It’s loud, brash, and has more horsepower than God. And the heavenly Z/28 is the song within my soul. I just can’t stop gushing about it. I need one badly.
Way back in February, a sink hole appeared underneath the floor of the historic Corvette Museum and began swallowing cars whole. It almost looked like some elaborate hoax for a while, with people speculating that the cars shown to be swallowed looked a lot like Matchbox cars.
A few days ago, we showed you the first shots of the new Ring Brothers creation dubbed “Recoil.” It essentially was a hyper tuned 1966 Chevelle. Now we have more details and better pictures, and it’s better than anyone could have hoped for.
The 5th generation Camaro is coming to an end. Next year, we will be introduced to an all-new, lighter and smaller version of America’s iconic muscle car.
