Could it be? Has the General managed to slip one past Uncle Sam? Let’s just say we’ll believe this one when we see it, but some very tenuous hope has been stirred up by a report claiming GM’s Vice President for Global Design Ed Welburn made mention the mighty Z28 Camaro is back on the [...]
Alternately titled: Signs of Life. I’ll be the first to admit I was more than a little skeptical of General Motors success post-chapter 11. After all, the company held onto many of the same execs who led the once mighty Detroit automaker straight into craptastic product hell. Fuel that fire with consumer base loathsome of [...]
The good boys and girls at Chevrolet have decided to up the ante on the delicious Z51 package we sampled earlier in the year by transmuting it into the new Grand Sport. That means the Corvette gets a wider stance, six-piston brakes up front with four-piston grabbers toward the rear, the same beefy tires as [...]
Not just any Le Mans racer. This is the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette Scuderia Filipinetti Le Mans racer. The car was created during GM’s infamous ban on racing, and Zora Arkus-Dunov himself worked over the engine while keeping the project from The General’s heads of state. Here’s a little bit of Corvette lore for you: in [...]
As you’ve probably heard by now, Guvna Lutz is back in action at General Motors. That means we’re not only guaranteed more gems straight from the horse’s mouth, but you can bet we’ll have a better eye toward what goes on behind closed doors in the new company. The latest bit to trickle down from [...]
Looking for a distilled mix of the most Fiendish news on the Web? Look no further, kids. I hope to have a daily roster of the best that’s out there Monday through Friday for the next foreseeable future, so hop the jump and enjoy the very first Parts Bin.
Fans of one of the most vicious Bow Ties in years were openly weeping when word circled there would be no Z/28 package. With General Motors having already been flushed down the Chapter 11 bowl, nobody expects the company to roll out a new high-strung version of its fuel-thirsty muscle car. Right? Maybe not. It [...]
This, Fiends, has been a long damn time coming. Since the Dodge Challenger first waltzed its wide tail onto the dance floor in late 2007, the muscle-car battle lines were re-drawn and FoMoCo, Bow Tie and Mopar loyal tucked into their respective corners. While Edmunds technically took each car to task in a head to [...]
I’ll admit it. The Corvette’s got its hooks in me. I’m not saying I could ever bring myself to become a jean-jacket, gold-chain wearing owner, but after my week with Convertible Z51 I’d be either completely insane or absolutely obtuse to deny the car’s appeal. It looks like the boys at Specter are hell-bent on [...]
We don’t do boring cars around here. It’s just the rule. Why, then, are you staring at a Chevrolet Traverse, you ask? The rig’s a crossover, you say – the very definition of boring. These days “crossover” has come to stand for the same family-driving hell once embodied by the SUV, the minivan and long, [...]
