The air is filled with exhaust, and your ears are dazzled by the rumbling of engines. The adrenaline of everyone around you is palpable. In a few minutes, your senses will overwhelm you as some of the fastest cars launch from idle, testing their limits and honing their capabilities against one another to see who […]
At some point in life, I feel like everyone has a favorite sports car and dreams about what it would be like to take that car for a spin, preferably on the Autobahn. When I was little, my dream car was the Ford Mustang. As I got older, I tended more toward European brands like […]
For car people, anticipation for a new vehicle is very much like the anticipation a child has at Christmastime. Especially if that car is the new 2023 Nissan Z. And even MORE especially if that car is the rumored Z Nismo. That’s right, those whisperings you’ve heard from your local Nissan dealer—whom you bribed for […]
Much attention is lavished on brand-new big-name models for pushing the limits of performance, technology, and luxury. It can seem that the industry standard is 0-60 in 3 seconds or less, telepathic infotainment and an $80,000 starting price. However, while they aren’t grabbing as many headlines, cheap sports cars get even more love from enthusiasts […]
Ah, the Corvette. It’s the image of cool. It’s appeared in films such as Gone in 60 Seconds, The Big Lebowski, and Con Air. It’s practically synonymous with classic American film and TV moments. If you knew someone with a Corvette when you were a kid, that person was probably your hero. Everyone in the […]
We’ve all heard the jokes about the “Zupra,” and there are few car enthusiasts left who don’t know that the new Toyota Supra is really a BMW Z4 at its heart. Rather than rehash the debate over whether the A90 is a “real” Supra, it might be worth embracing the controversy and asking which of […]
As a kid who grew up in the 1980s and ‘90s, I’d say that the coolest car ever made was the Lamborghini Countach. Everything about it was pure aesthetic delight, and it was absolutely dripping with the over-the-top veneer and style of that era. You’re not exactly going to find a Countach at an online […]
Nothing makes a car look faster than some stickers and a large rear spoiler, and while you’ll have to get the stickers yourself, Chevy does offer a multitude of different spoilers, splitters, wings, and other aero parts for the 2022 Camaro. While aftermarket aero is, of course, an option for those who don’t mind drilling […]
2022 marks the 90th anniversary of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans. However, in addition to the historic significance, this year will mark an inflection point for the cars racing around the Circuite de la Sarthe. The decision to lower the cost of entry to Le Mans’ top prototype class is about to pay […]
We all know and love the Nissan 370Z. Whether it was our favorite car in Need for Speed: Underground 2, or we were actually lucky enough to own one, this car is definitely the coolest thing Nissan has ever made––well, that is, until NISMO’s debut. Imagine taking everything you know and love about the 370Z […]
It might be the most anticipated sports car of 2023––the car that permanently lays to rest the idea that a Corvette is a poor man’s Ferrari. With a mid-engine layout, the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine in a production car (ever), and a flat-plane-crank design that redlines at 8600 RPM, the 2023 Chevy Corvette […]
Drivers have long been drawn to Cadillac thanks to the brand’s reputation for quality construction and unsurpassed luxury. Truly the foremost American luxury brand, over the years, Cadillac has proven that it can hold its own when it comes to providing high-end interiors, refined styling, and alluring creature features. Of course, these superlatives are only […]
Muscle cars have been called a dying breed since the days when most manufacturers stopped making them, but they live on in the three remaining ancestors of the original pony cars that once roamed the streets. Two of those steeds fall into a price range starting below $30K, yet in their upper trims, they boast […]
If there is one thing sports car enthusiasts agree on, it’s that putting an automatic transmission into a sports car borders on heresy. While you may end up succumbing to the demands of practicality (especially if you have a significant other who doesn’t share your enthusiasm for three pedals), an automatic transmission simply can’t bring […]
To the uninitiated, a Subaru dealer may seem like an odd place to shop for a sports car. Isn’t Subaru the expert on all-weather SUVs? You can pay $30k or so for a safe and satisfying family SUV, right? So then why does Subaru offer a surprisingly capable sports car, one reminiscent of the golden […]
Refined. Spine-tingling. Brilliant. These are all words used by critics to describe the C8 Corvette now that it’s been engineered with a new mid-engine design. It’s being praised as incredibly responsive with a dual-clutch transmission that smoothly transitions gearing, and the primal whine of the engine is more than just a hair-raising exhaust note. The […]
The humble origins of the second most iconic Ford are a far cry from the loaded, premium, engine roaring monsters blitzing down the roads today. And for a company that’s sworn off car production, the list of options for the 2022 Ford Mustang almost makes up for any misgivings we have about the Blue Oval […]
Modern sports cars have been getting faster, a lot faster. Speed is an easy metric to measure, and modern engineering is delivering more powerful engines than ever before, creating an arms race that makes the days of classic muscle cars look like a friendly competition. Affordable pony cars like the Ford Mustang GT and Chevy […]
“Anything worth doing is worth doing in excess.” Those are the words of American auto racer, designer, and entrepreneur Carroll Shelby, and one look at the 2022 Mustang Shelby GT500KR tells you this man knew what he was talking about. As a souped-up version of an already overpowered high-performance vehicle, the new KR, or “King […]
When Chevy first introduced the Camaro in 1966, it attempted to catch up to the wildly galloping Ford Mustang. Being born of the muscle car fever of the time, a Camaro seen on a Cummings Chevy dealer lot in that first year of its production had a strong character, but it also had graceful lines […]
