Mopar in the late 60s/early 70s had the craziest emblems and logos, Road Runner, Super Bee, etc. But a little devil with a pitchfork? Seriously?

I'd still like to have one though...
I was a car guy (kid) before I can remember, but I remember with vivid clarity the first car I ever drove. I was about 13 years old and my grandfather was a salesman at a Chrysler dealer. He took me into the store one Sunday when they were closed and let me drive a brand new Conquest around the dealer lot. The new…
CTS-V, the CHMSL is a functional spoiler!
Only one in that list I agree with is the EV1. Few exist, all were reclaimed by GM, if one gets out in the wild it will be worth someting.
Also, Indiana State Police had some previous gen Camaros and used the old turbo 4-cylinder SVT Mustangs in the 80s. At least they have a sense of humor
Yes a cop in one of these Mustang GTs frequently drops his kid off at my kids school in the AM. Nice looking Mustang actually, but that is just a plain mean trick to use it for highway speed enforcement.
Chevy DOES have the modern version of this attack on Ford:
Article says 3L turbo engine, it does not say a 3L turbo V8. Could be a V6. But a 3L V6 would have difficulty spinning to 10k rpm. I agree this doesn't make sense for Corvette. I would so love a 10k rpm 3L turbo V8 though.
Hummer H1 Alpha, the only with with a Duramax. Because there will never be another like it for sale to the public. Ever
I agree. Please give me a Suburban with a Duramax. Or wait a minute, build it on the long wheel base 2500 truck frame, barn door option in the rear, and call in the new Chevy Conestoga. Couldn't build them fast enough
Local dealer has a sign that advertises brand new Nissan Versa for $9995. I don't care what it looks like if it is reliable and costs $9995 brand new.
The original F20C motor with 9000 redline in the 99-2003 model years had piston speeds higher than any other production car too. The AP1 S2000 had "it", that balance of technical greatness and specialness that makes a sports car awesome. In my opinion they screwed up that balance with the AP2. The lowered redline…
Late model year diesel pickups have become modern 'rice'. A Cummins 5.9 can be purchased used for not a lot of money, is bulletproof to 250k+ miles, and can be tuned very inexpensively to produce 1000+ ft-lbs of torque. And for those of us that actually tow heavy things, there is no comparison with a gas engine in…
HUMMER Simply start making the H1 Alpha again with emissions compliant LML Duramax. Make the H2 with the baby 4.5 Duramax And make the H3 a hardcore Jeep Wrangler Rubicon killer, with a 4-cylinder turbo diesel and standard ridiculous off-road capable equipment And for grins make a Prerunner / Ford Raptor killer pickup…
The original clown shoe
1959 Eldorado 2-door hardtop. The best big fin Cadillac ever. And a steal at $38k.
Here's what it should say...
Imagine an upside down airplane wing. You want smooth laminar airflow on the low pressure side of the wing (top of an airplane wing, bottom of a racecar wing). Placing the supports on the high pressure side reduces disruption of flow on the low pressure side, making the whole wing more efficient. It just looks…
The news is direct injection and full VVT on the 6.2 small block. That is what brings the ~40hp increase over the current LS3. But I bet VVT could be even more beneficial on the supercharged LSA. The implication is the LSA with VVT and DI would be well north of 600HP. If the LS9 is still around then could it see…
