There’s been a lot of talk about whether Ken Block could stand up against world rally champ 40 times over, Sebastien Loeb. Most of verdicts say Block is nothing more than a showman – good for gymkhana displays of car control and little else. Thing is, when the guy isn’t pimping DC Shoes like they’ll [...]
I. Lamborghini clarified their position on the Estoque as reported by Mr. Bowman earlier today. Basically, they denied its cancellation because they had never technically decided to build it. So there. Also, the boys behind the bull said that if they were going to add a third model, a four door might be a logical [...]
I. The 2010 Camaro SS laid down and 8m 19s lap of the Nurburgring recently. For a big honkin’ piece of American iron, you can’t really say fairer than that. Until you look at the timesheets of other swift GMs and realize that the Cobalt SS, a smaller, less powerful hunk of American iron did [...]

In turn, those [...]
Team Citroen Total landed the top two podium positions at Rally Germany this weekend, putting Sebastien Loeb ahead of Mikko Hirvonen in overall points. The one-two win also bumped Citroen ahead of rival Ford in the manufacturer’s championship, leaving Hirvonen in a tough spot behind the Frenchman. Dani Sordo landed a full 8 championship points [...]
The WRC Subaru Impreza is an adrenaline-pumping masterpiece on every level, but this weekend the new Subie is getting its first taste of German Tarmac. We love the snow and grit stages as much as anyone, but watching the racing titans of the WRC dart through the countryside is something close to our fiendish hearts. [...]
