The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray still has the auto world a blaze months after it’s reveal at Detroit this year and for good reason. It’s epic in every way and it only keeps getting better. We know it’s gets 30mpgs, has loads of horsepower and a sweet interior. Complimenting that awesome interior is a new highly configurable gauge cluster and fortunately we have some video of it for you.
Some of the highlights of the cluster are it’s telemetry feature inspired by the Corvette Racing C6R, but it also has a whole host of helpful features like economy numbers, of course several tachs to choose from, and some very cool shift light features. In short it’s awesome and it just makes us want the C7 Corvette even more. Hit the jump for a full on video demonstration of the new C7 Corvettes Configurable gauge cluster.

By request I have a wallpaper of a newer Mustang for everyone. The Ford Mustang is no doubt the most popular car on the show circuit. It’s inexpensive good looking, and an all time classic. So old and new Mustangs are every where and that’s just fine by us. This Mustang comes from the streets of the Barry Apple Festival from last fall. It was a cool crisp but great day for cars.
As always two sizes to choose from after the jump.

The Plymouth Cuda is a true muscle car legend. One of the all time greats and the king of the streets in it’s hay day. The Cuda had much more humble beginnings as the Plymouth Valiant which would eventually become the Barracuda. This is where our amazingly well restored 1965 Barracuda comes in. The muscle car era was just getting under way, big engines were still to come, and so were the outrageous lines, colors, and big horsepower. Still the roots of the muscle car era are very evident in the Barracuda and when we find one that is so well done it’s worth a closer look.
While I did not get the chance to look under the hood the owner tells me that this Barracuda recieved a transplant in the way of a 360, which will certainly get the job done.

Sunday Commentary: Won’t be long till Summer’s gone
Sunday Commentary week in review
by Jason
Another Sunday is here and another action packed week is behind us at Infinite Garage. This week was a lot of prep work for us because with Hot August Nights, Barrett-Jackson Reno, and Bonneville all happening at ones the West Coast office was swamped all week. Throw in a broken arm and a trip to ER and our Reno had himself a dandy of a week. Never fear though he is enjoying the sun and salt at Bonneville as we speak. I hear the trip is going well and he’s getting lots of great coverage for us when he returns next week.
In the mean time here at home base in the Midwest things were a bit slower this week. Show season takes a bit of a lull in mid August while everyone gears up for the fall show frenzy. I did hit the Got Faith Show last weekend and got lots of really great coverage and met some new friends. So if you missed that hit the jump for that and all that was news this week on IG and in the car world.
