An Ode to Hennessey’s Corvette C7 Stingray, HPE500

That’s right, you’re going to get THREE for the price of one today. A handful of quick videos, provided directly by the good people at Hennessey Performance. On display is some gorgeous growling, beautiful snarling, and stunning action of the their HPE500 kitted C7 Stingray tearing up tarmac, tires, and peoples’ minds on their test [...]

Honda Makes NSX Available! As a 3D Printed Model…

I’ll admit it. In a past life, I was a major Honda fanboy. Perhaps I’ve been holding onto (way too rosey-colored) memories of their commitment to efficient performance with cutting edge engines defined by their ultra high-revving character and purposeful weight shedding/distribution implementations. But as I walked through a quiet and lonely Honda exhibition floor at [...]

Sibling Rivalry: The McLaren 12C vs The McLaren 650S

McLaren has exhibited a terribly awesome (awesome, terrible, you decide) knack of springing heavy handed news on us in a surprising fashion.

This week’s Friday Funny takes us back to those early days of discovery and the reality that there are worse fates than being swallowed by a [...]

The main model built for the Canadians was the WLC, which was very similar to the ubiquitous WLA. Perhaps because they were interested in a motorcycle with more power or one with a more advanced engine, the […]

Throwback Thursday: Top Gear Reviews McLaren SLR

When Mercedes first pulled the cover off the SLS AMG, I looked at and thought… “The SLR is way cooler than this.” I stand by that now. No, it didn’t have “gull wings” like the classic SL 300. It probably can’t corner as well as the SLS AMG either. In fact, AMG wasn’t even a […]

Friendly Fire – Corvette Beats the British, Again

Covette beats Jaguar and Aston Martin at Goodwood

Goodwood House is hallowed ground for British beef like the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S and Jaguar F-TYPE V8 S, so when some Yankee like the Corvette Stingray journeys across the pond to slaughter those mighty British sports cars on the famous Hillclimb course, there is some insult added to the injury: the London fog […]
