In the performance-per-dollar race, the Chevrolet Corvette is still one of the leaders, despite encroachment by Nissan’s GT-R and others. For 2009, Corvette is planning a new ‘Competition Sport’ package for Z51 and Z06 models that focuses on adding a bit more capability without unduly compromising daily comfort.
The big 6.2L and 7.0L LS3 and LS7 [...]
Dodgy Dyno Numbers?
Devil_Z is not happy. His awesome-looking Vette has had a ton of work done to it and he’s expecting big dyno numbers.
Trouble is, his car may not be capable of the sort of figures he has in mind. But no matter. Allegedly, if you take your car to Cartek, they’ll [...]
Fastlane 427 SS Concept
mwilkes is bringing us some footage of one mean-looking truck!
Talk about a wolf in sheep’s clothing. How does shoehorning a 7.0 liter LS7 motor from a Vette into a pick-up sound to you? Like a pretty good idea, right?
This is Fastlane’s 427 SS Concept and we think it should [...]

The fund-raising process of auctioning off much of the contents of General Motors’ historic Heritage Collection of cars hits a potential high-note, at least to a do-it-your-selfer’s eye, with the sale of a Corvette ZR-1 rolling chassis. Though the exact state of the chassis isn’t known, it does appear to be complete with a 6.2L [...]
Carparazzi Goes To Carmel
This footage by car-parazzi may have been shot back in summer 2008, but with cars this good, who cares!
The Carmel / Monterrey Peninsula is a mecca for all things supercar in August and this video just proves that point. Whether your taste runs to Veyrons, SLRs, DB9s, Vettes or Porsches, plus more, [...]
Caspers Z06 New Year’s Day
Compared to CaspersZ06 our New Year’s Day officially sucked!
What better way to ring in 2009 than by taking two Z06s to an almost deserted runway and letting loose? But the fun really starts when it’s Vette vs. Plane! Who’s gonna win the 0-100 / 0-take-off?
Better watch Caspers Z06 New Year’s [...]
Police Supercars
Thanks to mdq for this frightening upload!
How come none of these police cars are ever featured in police chases on TV?! Now that would be worth watching. In any case, it seems enough of us are breaking the law, and filling the cops’ coffers, to allow them to afford some very [...]
ZR1 Dyno Run
HPEDesign has a ZR1 up on the dyno so you’d be pretty dumb not to want to check it out.
The car looks great in that Tungsten metal color but its numbers, as expected, look even better. The stock car is making 530 rwhp and 524 rwtq. All we can say is come [...]
Z06 Drifting An On-Ramp
DillJuice is sharing a pretty cool upload with us.
All ya need is a Vette, some slippery conditions and a smoothly-curved on-ramp to have your own bit of drifting heaven! Nice job by the driver and makes us wish it rained more in SoCal so we could go try this on a few of [...]
