New Viper vs C7 Corvette Stingray

Some feuds are just legendary: Cardinals and Cubs, Hatfields and McCoys, me vs cookies and cream ice cream. The stories are so woven in our legend that we know they will never be resolved. That is the story with the Dodge, er SRT Viper vs The Chevy Corvette. The two have been at each others throats since the Viper came on to the scene in the early 90s. With a new Corvette in town it was time once again to see who is on top.

Fall here in the Midwest is a whole new season when it comes to car gatherings so it seem appropriate to take a short look back tonight.

Sunday Commentary: A muscle car as a daily driver?

Sunday is here and it’s time to take a look back at the week that was and this week we will take a look at the idea of having a classic muscle car as a daily driver. It’s a question I get a lot, is it possible to drive a muscle car every day. In short of course it is, but in a few minutes we’ll take a look at it a little further. However first lets look at the week that was.

This week was action packed as we finished up our Bonneville coverage as well as took one last look at the Hull Picnic show. There is a small lull in the storm that is car show season here in the Midwest. However fall is full on car show season here so starting in just a few weeks the storm will be raging with shows nearly every weekend. Before I get too excited thinking about what is to come let’s take a look back at what was.
