As if bankrupt Circuit City doesn’t have enough on its plate right now, the owner of a 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo is suing the company for damages to his car. Seems the guy (or gal, the suit doesn’t say) wanted a kickin’ new stereo in his Turbo and took it to the offending store for [...]
I. Buzz is building around the USF1 team set to launch sometime in the near future. Official details are that the new team will be based in Charlotte, NC — the spiritual home of NASCAR. Ken Anderson, one of the team principles, told the UK’s Guardian newspaper that the team will be formally announced later [...]
I. While we may not be getting the Pontiac G8 ST, Brit importers already have the Holden version, called the Maloo, on the grey market. It may have a silly name, and even sillier paint schemes, but it’s hard to argue with a 425 hp kangaroo killer. All that power, and Autocar claims it can [...]
At least that’s what the Fiends at Motor Trend say. They stuck the mighty Nissan GT-R on a new dyno to measure peak power as well as mechanical drag. What’d they find? The 3.8-liter V6 pretty much puts out what Nissan says it does. Well, almost. The motor put down an average of 485 horsepower [...]
We’re hanging with Team USA’s Tanner Foust and Carl Edwards at the Race of Champions at Wembley Stadium in the UK. And we’ll have some exclusive behind the scenes posts from Saturday’s practice up shortly. But here’s a heads up that from 5.50pm GMT (that’s English time) you can follow the action live here online courtesy of [...]
Here’s something I will probably never say “here in the Corvette section of my garage.” That’s how Leno starts off the little tidbit you’ll find after the jump. The king of comedic car guys has been kind enough to show the world around his ZR1, which just happens to be the very first one ever [...]
Just getting this one through the grapevine. Apparently Travis Pastrana has injured himself sustaining a rumored broken hip and ankle—we don’t have full details on how. As a result he is unable to compete in this weekend’s Race Of Champions for Team USA at Wembley Stadium in London, UK. The Race Of Champions pits the [...]
The suspension Gurus at Eibach have set about making the new Dodge Challenger handle more than the quarter mile. The company decked the car in a new set of Mulit-Pro R2 Coilovers to help the muscle-bound bruiser cope with curvy tarmac. The trick suspension bits have independently adjustable bound and rebound, making for a near [...]
No, this isn’t some horrid musical with cardboard interpretations of the finest automobiles on the planet. It’s a Bentley driving experience, hosted in Finland in February and March of next year. At a full 37 miles from the Arctic Circle, temperatures are expected to hover around 30 below zero, completely freezing a local lake. While [...]
In the twisted realm that is the automotive world, 2008 will be remembered for many things. American titans groveling for help, the death of many a beloved publication and the birth of the Nissan/Porsche rivalry. Driver’s Republic has set out to discover just which is faster—the Nissan GT-R or its most favored prey, the Porsche [...]
