I’m just going to put this down to weight and gearing. I have to because, if the numbers on the screen are accurate, there’s not much else aside from driver ability, that explains why a stock Corvette ZR1 with 540 wheel horsepower absolutely runs away from a 2012 Roush Stage 3 Mustang with 608 whp […] More »

I might regret typing this, but I’m going to do it anyway:  You don’t even have to watch the video below. Just click play, sit in a comfortable chair, grab your favorite drink and enjoy it slowly as the sound of a 7.0-liter Chevrolet V8 fills your ears. Oh, you’re back?  Well, before you close […] More »

Do you remember the XLR convertible hardtop, the Cadillac based on Chevy (Corvette) underpinnings?  Well, the 2016 Camaro will turn that arrangement 180 degrees by being a Chevrolet riding atop a Caddy platform.  Specifically, the rear-wheel-drive chassis from the ATS and CTS sedans. Despite its luxury bones, it will keep most of its blue-collar muscle […] More »

If you’ve ever seen “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” (and who hasn’t?), you’re familiar with this scene: Well, Rob Dyrdek, professional wildman, just topped that by flying into the Guinness World Records book.  In a Chevy Sonic.  In reverse.  Across 89 feet and 3¼ inches. To be more specific, he nailed down the Farthest Reverse Ramp […] More »
