A Study Of Opposites At A Stoplight

I pulled up to the 4-way intersection as I headed towards the highway, and I noticed something. A strange sense of something interesting. I looked over to my left, and realized the silver compact hatchback in the turning lane was actually a Chevy Volt, not a Saturn Astra or a VW Golf like you might think at first glance. It’s the first time I’ve seen a Volt in person, and I was

The Sound Of A Spinning Dorito

Everything I know about rotary engines can be summed up in one sarcastic sentence: “Hey, communism worked in theory too.” That might be oversimplifying things: we can also add “boost goes in, apex seals come out” to the list while we’re at it. It’s safe to say that Felix Wankel’s invention never really achieved the widespread popularity some originally thought it would, but it can’t be said

Not Your Usual Civic Hatchback

Ahh, the 90′s Civic hatchback: dime a dozen, get ‘em while they’re hot. I know you wanted to pick a flavor, but I hope you like vanilla, ’cause that’s what you’ll get. Right? Now, normally when you look under the hood of an EG-chassis Civic (92-95), you see one these: a D15. Boring. On a good day, a single-cam D15 16v PGM-FI motor will make 110 or so horsepower. Which is perfectly

205 MPH… On Ice!

Back in the 80′s, 200 miles an hour was world-record territory for a road car. The F40 was the first stock production car to break the 200mph barrier, with others following after it. Those early race-derived supercars were raw, elemental thunderstorms of power and grip with little concession to human comfort. So it’s a sign of great technical progress that a Finnish rally driver

The Sound of Classic Rally

Need a moment of zen today? Then plug in your speakers, turn it up, and just listen to it. It’s a compilation of footage from the 2011 Rallye Legend Boucles de Spa, a gathering of classic rally cars that’s a yearly occurence. Old (RWD) Escorts, stage-prepped air cooled 911′s oversteering wildly, just… just watch it. It’s beautiful. My goodness. Feeling more in tune with your

911 Sport Classic cars

Showcasing pictures and videos of the super cool 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic sports car.Inspired by the Carrera RS 2.7 in parts of its wardrobe, the 911 Sport Classic will be built in very limited numbers with just 250 cars planned. Porsche have added the new double-bubble roof to the wide-body Carrera S bodyshell, and that ducktail rear spoiler archly echoes the 1973 RS 2.7's iconic
