There are legitimate reasons why some people opt for an automatic transmission in their high performance Corvette. That said....despite ongoing improvements by GM the Corvette automatic has traditionally lacked the precision and control afforded by the 6-speed manual transmission. As an avid Corvette C6 road racer…

I'm surprised anyone outside the UK would pay any attention to Jeremy Clarkson

Interesting piece but however strange certain aspects seem by today's standards it must be viewed in the context of the times. Maybe things aren't so different today....even in today's corporate cultures if an employee doesn't conform he or she will be ostracized. Controversies notwithstanding, Henry Ford was an…

Considering what you're getting, even with the price increase the Corvette is still a bargain.

Fear government!

Expensive, highly speculative, likely to fail....I'm surprised the obama regime hasn't poured billions of taxpayer dollars into the venture.

Good stuff!

Kudos to Hennessey! That said to call a heavily modified Lotus running a built GM engine (custom made by an independent performance shop) a "production" car is IMO a bit of a stretch.

Although the German BMW seems to have a better 'ring' to it for bobsled technology (your 'humor' notwithstanding) the American company General Motors IMO would be an excellent choice as well. GM/Chevrolet/Corvette is well-respected for its performance engineering, its considerable experience in carbon…

Then the cops will try to prove intent....he intended to street race. The cops always have something they can charge a person with (no matter how obscure or inapplicable) if they want to screw someone. They can even dream-up a new charge weeks after the incident. That being said I imagine Beiber's attorney's will…

An unsolicited testimonial on the Corvette LS2 power plant....it's got performance right out of the box and more than decent fuel economy. On certain legs of an Interstate trip I averaged over 30 mpg! Not too shabby for a high performance Corvette. The newer Corvette engines have improved, on all fronts, even…

Poor John DeLorean....our wonderful government set him up and conned him all the way in a contrived drug deal. That crime would have never existed if the government didn't create it! I'm all for the government catching criminals but I don't feel our government should be in the business of creating crimes and making…

I've seen truck commercials I liked better and I've seen many others that were far, far worse. I'm not sure how effective the spot will be but I didn't think it was all that bad. In fact, for those who actually use a 'heavy duty' truck for utility I feel the ad will have some appeal. I own a big, beastly truck (and…

Good stuff! I think the seats in the bed of the truck were originally done to lessen the import tax....with the rear seats the small truck changed to a different classification (and a lower tax for the manufacturer).

"...Here's hoping the V6 Turbo engine sounds better." They don't....IMO the new, smaller, forced induction engines for 2014 sound absolutely limp compared with the naturally aspirated V8 and V12 Formula 1 power plants of yesteryear.

"Just when you thought the 2014 Formula-1 season couldn't get more exciting." Exciting....really? With the sewing machine size, whiny sounding, forced induction engines and needless 'green' hybrid tech "exciting" isn't exactly the word I'd use to describe Formula 1 racing for 2014. Considering the trend of Formula 1…

I want our military to have the best of everything. That said this vehicle giveaway represents a massive waste of taxpayer (our) money and it gives the regime a perfect way to further militarize 'civilian' police departments across the country. The ever-expanding grip of government control just got a little tighter.

Safety has never been a vehicle purchase criteria of mine...perhaps an afterthought but not much more. I buy vehicles for utility and/or driving enjoyment. I drove large, 3/4 ton, 4WD Suburban's for decades (IMO the finest, all-around, family utility vehicle going). For the most part I now drive two vehicles....I…

Very appealing.....good job!

Obviously, imposing frequent, massive changes to the power plant, so-called green technology and a host of other annual vehicle changes isn't cost effective. They mention efforts to reign-in costs for F1 teams but they don't practice what they preach. I understand the constructor's aspect to Formula 1 and I appreciate…
