  • 2011 Shelby GT350 live at Barrett-Jackson
    The 2011 Shelby GT350 seemed to have a polarizing effect when it debuted at Barrett-Jackson’s opening gala event on Monday night. Some of you loved it and others instantly objected to everything from the looks of the car to the $33,995 price tag that doesn’t include the base car. With 500 horsepower from the new 5.0-liter V8, there’s no arguing that...

  • Lingenfelter Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 posts 9-second quarter-mile run
    The ZR1 might be the fastest Chevrolet Corvette to ever come out of Bowling Green, Kentucky, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved upon. That’s where Lingenfelter Performance Engineering of Decatur, Indiana comes in. They’ve built some of the fastest Corvettes in the world, plus some other pretty wild tuned Chevys. Their latest super-Vette...

  • Toyota launching G Sports Series cars at Tokyo Auto Salon
    Seems like Toyota is doing everything in its power to shake the fuddy-duddy, emotionless appliance image its built for itself over the last fifteen years or so. First came word that ToMoCo’s Mr. Toyoda stated the brand needed to get sportier. Next came the very welcome news that along with Subaru, Toyota would be introducing a lightweight, RWD sport coupe (now known...

  • Rare Lancia LC2 Group C racer
    Last sold on these shores in 1982, the Lancia brand has pretty much slipped into obscurity for most Americans, but there was a time when Lancia was on top of the world. From the mid-’70s to the early-’90s, Lancia racked up an impressive tally of international race wins and championships with its doorstop-like Stratos and Montecarlo successor. With the recent...

  • Autodelta takes on the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
    As far as Alfa Romeos go, the 8C Competizione is as exotic as they come. Still, some are looking for more. Originally, rumors surfaced that Alfa was working on a lightweight GTA version, but while we wait for that to pan out, Alfa tuner par excellence Autodelta is working on tuning the svelte supercar themselves. Few details are known at this point, but a remapped ECU...

  • Australian “Pontiac” G8 given extended run?
    We kind of have the Aussies to thank for it, so we guess it’s all right that they get to keep it… but we can still be jealous. Four months ago General Motors’ Down-Under division unveiled the Holden VE Commodore SS V-Series Special Edition, essentially a Commodore with the front end from the late Pontiac G8, minus the Pontiac badges. The old company...

  • Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Veloce rendered ahead of Geneva debut
    Let’s make one thing very clear from the onset. The images you see above are not official shots of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Veloce. They’re renderings. Good renderings, mind you, but nothing more than photoshopped speculation. So with that out of the way… It’s been assumed for months that Lamborghini would unveil a final special edition...
