This is what a supercharged, 6.2-liter, push-rod V8 sounds like in 2014. It’s good to know that some things never really change. The Z06, unsurprisingly, sounds beastly. It’s a cold start since they’re just moving the thing, so I can’t say they rev the hell out of it. You do get to hear the Z06 make a little […] More »

I guess that theoretical letter should really be addressed to the owners of ZR1s, shouldn’t it? When the ZR1’s 638 horsepower showed up, it was miles above the Z06’s 505. Now, the Z06 was naturally aspirated, so it didn’t have the gene that is susceptible to heat soak (thus, in my eyes, making it the […] More »

There was a time—many moons ago—when a four-door Porsche just didn’t exist.  The face-flatteningly fast Panamera certainly changed that.  (Ahem… So did the once-blasphemous Cayenne SUV.)  Long before that car, the 928 was a completely foreign concept to the Teutonic firm.  Its front-mounted eight-cylinder power plant was a radical departure from the rear-engined 911’s flat-six.

Here’s some good old fashioned carporn for everyone (courtesy of the good people at Jalopnik). Recently, they gave us an inside look into the perfetly ridiculous private car collection of the one and only Ken Lingenfelter. As we know, the Lingenfelter name is a laudable part of the aftermarket performance industry with their tendency to pull […] More »

First it was ‘Vette versus Viper, then it was Corvette versus Nissan GT-R. This week, Edmunds has the C7 Corvette battling the Porsche 911 Carrera S. The as-tested price of the Corvette Stingray is $69,675. In the video, Mike Monticello says the as-tested price of the Porsche 911 Carrera S is around $140,000, so for […] More »

You may recall two weeks ago we posted video from The Smoking Tire of the biggest assault on the C7 Corvette’s treads short of volcanic incineration. This week we are following that up with the complete Corvette review that contains those burnouts. We’ve posted a heavy payload of ‘Vette reviews, but we’ve waited so long […] More »
