Chevy looks set to bring back small car performance with Aveo RS “show car”

January 12, 2010

Big honkin’ V-8’s are great fun, but they can be a little bit on the expensive side to operate as a track car. They tend to go faster (duh) and weigh more which means that disposable items like tires and brakes are, well, disposable. Also, their point of entry tends to be a pricier than [...]

November 29, 2009

Pictured above is the production version of the all-new Chevy Cruze. This past Fall we have sampled from Chevy the Camaro RS and Equinox, both great vehicles that we would happily recommend to anyone. But the real test for Chevy comes with the Cruze, as the outgoing Cobalt, although a strong seller, failed to convince [...]

Guest post: Tripping to Run-Offs in a Zed28

November 28, 2009

This guest post was written by long time Canadian road racer Colin King when Gary Magwood`s story about his Sebring road trip stirred the memory banks. A great tale of road tripping and what can happen when running afoul of The Man.

In the late fall of 1980, November to be exact, we set off [...]

For Generation X’ers like [...]

Modern Muscle Comparo: Time machines

November 16, 2009

I suppose I should get the dreaded issue of style out of the way first. Why dreaded? I feel better equipped to try to build a time machine than I am to describe anything so personal as style. Ask anyone who has ever attempted to help me with graphics and they’ll tell you that I [...]

Modern Muscle Comparo

Back in the Sixties, Ford launched a new car called the Mustang. That sporty little ride sold like hotcakes and a new category was born. Small when compared to the other barges on the road, Muscle Cars used lightweight bodies with big V-8 engines that gained in horsepower annually as North America fell in love [...]

November 12, 2009

For those who aren’t aware, Superformance has been churning out top quality Cobra replicas out of a facility in South Africa for years now. While they are sold sans drivetrain, you would be wrong to call these kit cars. The Superformance factory is considered one of the finest fiberglass manufacturing facilities in the world and [...]

Review: Chevy Camaro RS

November 5, 2009

The wait for the new Camaro was long-painfully long. Chevy first showed the concept in 2006, and until recently the reenergized Ford Mustang was the only game in town-until now. The Camaro is here, and damn, it looks great. And wherever I went in this new Camaro, people would come up to me and ask [...]

Review: 2010 Chevy Equinox

October 21, 2009

I may as well cut to the chase here, and say, proudly, that what we have here is a no excuses Chevy. That’s right-put the Equinox against the best in its class, and the Chevy has no excuses, no stories-it simply does its job, and does it well. GM has also wised up on product [...]
