Anyone can drive a nice looking ride, or even a built one for that matter, but if you’re looking for the true gems in the automotive world, you have to seek out the cars built with true dedication and passion. Brian Hobaugh’s ‘73 Camaro is the perfect example.
Admittedly, I’ve never ridden in a 10 second car before, and this was even my first time to ride in a supercharged LS powered car. But it’s safe to say that St. John’s beastly black C5 has made a believer out of me….
Car modifications come in all shapes and sizes. Where some enthusiasts would be content with just adding some interior details or a little bit of power to their cars, JCG Restorations & Customs offered Karl Dunn the complete package- a first-gen Camaro so unique that it would take hours to pour over all its detail
The Camaro ZL1 is, without a doubt, the Best Camaro Ever. But when the world is filled with amazingly capable cars all competing for the same limited pool of well-heeled potential buyers, is that good enough? We got a chance to sample the ZL1 for himself – and here’s our take.
It’s no secret we’re in love with the 5th gen Corvette, but this one is something special. 7 liters of C5R under the hood, with a Vortech supercharger to supply boost, it delivers more than 900 horsepower to the crank, runs 180 in the half-mile, and still can take you anywhere you need to go in comfort and style.
It seems like nobody ever builds a car for the SEMA show at a leisurely pace, but Shane Wagner took it a step farther by holding down a day job, starting a new business, and crafting this amazing 5th Gen Camaro all in the span of a short two months.
There are tons of stupidly-powerful LSX powered late-models out there, but few of them get put to use the way Josh Forster’s standing-mile Z28 does. We recently caught up with him during a tuning session at Cunningham Motorsports, where he was prepping for the Mojave Mile and aiming for 200 MPH…
The COPO Camaro is officially on its way, and it won’t be long until these beasts start tearing up a drag strip near you. In the meantime, out friends at GM Performance Parts sent us over the Official Spec Sheet for the COPO to tide us over. Reading it through, we found quite a few good surprises. Check it out!
Remember back in the early 1990’s when the 454SS Trucks were all the rage? For their time they were some tough pickups, but the folks at LaFontaine Performance Center have expanded idea of a “muscle truck” and powered it with a thoroughly modern 454 mill – the LSX454. Meet the LPC GT454 GMC Sierra. Check it out…
How do you make the best even better? With more power, of course… In the case of this particular Z06, that extra bump is provided by an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger system, which is only fitting because the car is Vic Edelbrock, Jr.’s personal ride…
After focusing his attention on his day job aboard the Vance & Hines Screamin’ Eagle Harley Davidson that culminated in a second NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle crown in 2012, Eddie Krawiece has turned his focus back to his “Project Radial-ation” Camaro, and we’ve got the goods on the impressive engine buildup.
Top to bottom, inside and out, looks and performance, Inside Line’s Senior Editor Josh Jacquot tested a supercharged 1968 Camaro against a similarly supercharged 2011 Camaro in a test of which is best. Who wins? We’ve got the full scoop on the comparo with a video of all the action.
The Corvette ZR1 may be the king of the hill in Chevy factory performance, but what if you want to be able to terrify more than one person with a blast past 200 MPH at a time? In that case, the Hess ZR1 Camaro is your answer…
Most car guys freak out if you even lean against their car, but Eric Hokenson, from St. Paul, Minnesota, actually invites people to write on his low-slung 1963 Chevy Bel Air with a boosted 5.3 LS…
Brian Ruchdeschel is an engineer by trade, but when he’s not busy -err, engineering, he’s wielding his hot rod Cadillac on the road courses and streets of Smalltown, USA. Accustomed to lapping Vipers and Lotus’, Brian is a take-no-prisoners competitor behind the wheel of his ’07 CTS-V, packing 418cui. of LS3!
The 1963 Corvette split window is regarded by man as the best-looking Corvette ever. But add a ZR1 drivetrain, a supple bison-leather interior, and unrelenting attention to detail, and you have what may be the most-perfect Pro-Touring car ever built.
Thanks to some help from our friends at Chevrolet Performance, we can bring you the first videos and photos of the COPO Camaro drag concept vehicle taking its initial test runs at Bradenton Motorsports Park in Florida. We’re told that the best run was a 9.69 at 140, with 60 foot times in the low 1.40′s.
For Lou Gigliotti’s ’10 ZR1 second place is not an option. The test mule, LG Motorsports race car, and daily driver sees all sorts of punishment, but at this past 341 Spectre Hillclimb Challenge, the venerable blown ‘Vette put up one helluva fight and has the trophies and course records to prove it.
It’s not often when we get invited to the GM Milford Proving Grounds. In fact, this past Wednesday was the first time your author had ever been there, after dreaming about going since I was a kid. It was definitely worth the wait, and to sweeten the deal, I had the opportunity to test drive the latest Chevy PPV’s!
