Corvettes: American Icon

I saw this really amazing Vette today. Unfortunately it was going the opposite way of me. It was a first generation and it had some aftermarket parts on it. It was a stunner. That got me thinking about some of the nice Vettes I’ve seen over the years. Corvettes are a love or hate car. …

The awesome 496 Rat truck

There are some vehicles that pictures just don’t do justice. Especially when I’m the one taking the pictures. This truck is one of them. When you take an old Chevy, lower it, make every panel perfect, shoot some flat black over it and do tons of custom touches the result is amazing. It’s hard to …

Henry J Gasser: The Grape Ape

Henry J gasser drag cars aren’t exactly something you see everyday. Gassers in fact have largely gone by the way side with the exception of a few collectors who still buy and build these examples of drag racing’s wild past. The concept of a gasser is simple, get the front up in the air to …

The Skinny on the U.S. Only Getting 6k Subaru BRZs

Categories:

General Discussion

by

The interwebs is ablaze today with the news that only 6,000 of model year 2013 Subaru BRZs will be coming stateside. Never fear, because if you want one there will be a billion of them for 2014. The limited release is a long played trick by the car industry to hype up the release of a car that is expected to be pupular. We all know the BRZ is going to be REALLY popular so it makes sense. It means if you are on the fence right now you are probably going to go order one which will drive up the pre order numbers making the car look even more in demand. We’ve seen this plenty times before with cars like the PT Cruiser, Corvette Z06, and the Porsche Cayman; among others.

So, if you want one you may have to wait until next year, but don’t worry – you’ll get one.

Photoshoot: Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged

Full disclosure: The car is mine. It’s my daily driver and it’s been neglected for a long time since I’ve been driving my other car much more lately. So, today I got the old Cobalt out of the barn and spruced it up. I had to correct a couple panels because they got a bit scratched up during a hurried washing. Then it was time for some clay bar and wax. I was finishing up just before sunset and the color was really popping so I decided to rush out for a quick shoot.

So on to the car:
268hp
RD fabs intake
ZZP header/downpipe
GMPP exhaust
Ported and polished supercharger
3in pulley
Second heat exchanger of a Cobra
Extra fluid reservoir for the intercooler
MRZ strut bar
There are a whole host of dress up parts inside, out, and under the hood but they are too numerous to mention.
I know someone will say it, so yes the car needs lowered. It used to be, but because of where I live it isn’t feasible; so I went back to the stock ride height.

Hit the jump for the full photoshoot.

What do you get when you cross an airstrip, a bunch of super cars, and some pretty awesome cinematography? The Mile. This was a charity event in the Philippines, and luckily someone brought a camera (or two) and some serious editing skills so we could all enjoy the glory.

Audi are masters of promotion. There is no car company on the planet who gives us car trailers as cool as Audi. Remember the TTRS around Laguna? Or “Truth in 24”, the awesome Le Mans documentary? Well, now they’ve given us more video car porn in the form of this:

Enjoy

Ready for Le Mans yet? lol.
