Cram a big 'Merkin V-8 into a lightweight roadster? Classic formula. Use said roadster to produce clouds of power-induced tire smoke? Just as classic. Getting beat down on a car forum for street racing and acting like a fool? Instant classic. The holiday week hasn't been too kind to Miata.net forum user 1SIKZ31. With a very clean LS1-Miata...
The C7 Chevrolet Corvette has been the subject of rampant speculation since the C6 came out, with everything from all-wheel drive to mid-engine orientation supposedly planned. Most of those rumors have been shot down, and we're told the Stingray concept is only a general study in possible directions. So what to expect of the C7 'Vette? This...
We already knew the 2012 Porsche Boxster and Cayman would be built in-house at the Volkswagen Osnabrueck plant, bucking the trend of outsourcing construction to contract firms like Valmet or Magna. What we didn't know is that the next-gen Cayman and Boxster would be built alongside Volkswagens. Golf convertibles, to be precise. It's only supposed...

Ford is pitching the system as a safety- and performance-enhancing addition that helps the car "carve through turns like a downhill skier." We're not convinced. First, we should understand how the system works. According to Ford, the torque-vectoring (TV) system...
If you're longing for the Cruze Hatchback, you'd better start looking for tickets to Australia or Europe, as that's the closest you're going to get. Today, images of the final production design of the European Chevrolet-badged version of the car (shown at the Paris auto show) emerged from the EU's trademark office. They reveal a car essentially...
Comparing drivers across time is a tough endeavor. How to account for the huge differences in performance of the cars driven? The upgrades in safety? Changes in track layouts? Apparently F1 legend Sir Jackie Stewart can, and he has, saying today's crop of F1 drivers is the best in history. If anyone has a calibrated gauge for such a measurement...
