    Production Camaro revealed

    Not surprised (I always assumed this would be a heavy car), but I am highly disappointed (was hoping chevy would address the weight issue). I was thinking maybe I should wait for the new camaro but after reading Motortrend say the v8 version will weigh near 3900 pounds, no thanks! I...

    Nissan GT-R vs. Ford GT

    So if his super car had awd, would he have been capable to finish a lap and record a time? Not only that, but no where does it mention what type of tires that super car had on it? (at least from me skipping through the videos) He handles the car pretty well through the track, possibly with...

    Nissan GT-R vs. Ford GT

    Wow, thought people would think what I said through a little more. 70k is not what Id call super car territory, especially with our current inflation whoas. I was trying to point out the AWD system on the GTR makes the car a more daily driver type vehicle. I should have left out snow...

    Nissan GT-R vs. Ford GT

    The one thing I dont understand is how come none of these magazine tests are comparing sports cars in different weather conditions and then average all the times. Like wet, dry, and snowy conditions? I do see sports cars driven in the crappiest of weather conditions. I've seen corvettes...

    06' 350Z Purchase

    if you put car + investment + GT500KR in the same sentence it would make sense maybe even GT500

    Dodge Challenger First Drive

    Well of course, the first year of a brand new (and exciting model) will sell furiously. I have no doubt the Challenger will sell extremely well (during the first year of production). But the way gas is going, and if we do reach 4.00 dollars a gallon for regular (heck might as well say 5.00...

    Motorcycle helmet laws...where do you stand?

    Amused is absolutely correct! If it was up to me though, Id take it a step further. People could ride w/o a helmet if they are willing to forfeit any health care for head trauma. Same goes with seat belts. You dont have to wear a seat belt if your willing to forfeit health care...

    Choose a sports car

    SnipeMasterJ13 should list what state he lives in. That could explain his super incredibly low insurance. If he lives in an extremely low population density then I would not have any problem believing is rate. On the other hand, if he lives in, such a state as Jersey, I would definitely...

    Choose a sports car

    wow...last I saw mustang Gt500's were going for 45k and the nissan GTR is retailing for 70k. 45k and 70k considered similar? wow must be new type of math out They are all nice cars but it really just depends on the buyer. If they want awd or a 2 seater coupe or a 2+2 coupe or luxury...

    optima battery from costco

    Optima batteries have been worth the extra price for me. My yellow top lasted 7 years with a 1000+ watt stereo system and numerous power drains. My current red top battery is 2 years old and no problems yet either. Ill have to check costco to see if they really sell them for 100 bucks. I...

    Dodge Challenger First Drive

    This is exactly why I think the new camaro will suck too. Its being built on the Zeta platform and to get an idea how much a zeta based sedan weighs just look at the Pontiac G8. Numbers indicate the car will weigh ~4000 pounds. The new camaro will probably weigh the same or around 3900...

    Pre-production Camaro in the nude

    Please post the link to where you read the new Camaro would weigh in at 3400 pounds. I highly doubt that to be true...heck there is no way it could weigh 3400 pounds and still cost around 30k (they'd have to use alot of aluminum, which would push the price up). The curb weight on an 08...

    Edmunds Test: 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 Convertible

    Who would buy this car? Prolly the car collector. I think it was forbes magazine (forget which one) but they said the shelby gt500 is one of the only few cars produced in 2007 that will actually appreciate in value. You can take alot of cars to the track and brag about numbers, but very...
