There are many unforgettable fourth generation F-bodies, but two of my favorites include the 1999 30th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am and the 2002 Chevrolet 35th Anniversary Camaro SS–call me crazy, but I feel each are the perfect examples of the breed. OK, so the Hurst TA and the CETAs are wicked, as are the GMMG […] More »
Along with other obvious reasons, the flat plane crank in many Ferraris is partially responsible for the insanely awesome sound and high-RPM power. Yes, they’re a DOHC motor and an LS isn’t, but Lingenfelter is using the same technology in their 358 CI LS-powered 5th. Gen Camaro race car. It not only sounds amazing and […] More »
Hugger Orange is simply one of those GM colors you either love or hate. I happen to love it and really wish GM offered the bold color beyond the 1999 model year.

Both cars have their strengths and weaknesses, but in the end they’re both solid platforms capable of harnessing tons of power. As to which one is best, you tell us, […] More »

As you’ve probably discovered by now, I’m a fan of naturally aspirated motors […] More »
Since I’m on the all-motor kick I thought I’d highlight another gross display of naturally aspirated LSX horsepower: The School of Automotive Machinists (SAM) 1999 Camaro. Who says you need power-adders to run quick ETs? Heck, the students at SAM are knocking (and we mean KNOCKING) on the 7s without the help of a turbo, […] More »
