We believe in the magic of the automobile
When I see some classic car with less than 100 miles on the clock, it makes me a little bit melancholy – it’s the “new in box” Star Wars action figure from 1977 that no kid ever got to play with and love.
If you’ve ever attended a Goodguys Show you know the focus is on pre-1973 on Friday and Saturday, but when Sunday roles around, anything American goes. This allows enthusiasts who have newer American vehicles to participate in the fun, and also opens the doors to younger generations of hot rodders – check it out

We first spotted Roy Schumacher’s “Snow White” Shark Body Corvette at the Super Chevy Show in Colorado last summer, and to say this car was an eye-catcher would be an understatement. Finished in glistening white paint with added personal touches, this virtually stock Corvette is well worth the mention.
Although the winter season means no racing and rarely driving your performance car here in Colorado, Dragon Pro Street Engineering, a local performance shop, is changing the idea of a miserable winter into an exciting time to modify cars for the good weather to come. But this isn’t just your ordinary shop…
An inline electric fuel pump was needed for our FAST EZ-EFI system, but FAST went one better with their Universal In-Tank Electric Fuel Pump kit, and we installed it in about a day. It’s now quieter, more efficient, and will last a little longer than the pump it replaced.

With carbon fiber construction, LS7 power, and US design and construction, the Falcon F7 is a true American supercar on par with the best Europe has to offer. We got to spend some time with Falcon CEO Jeff Lemke and get the inside story behind this striking new exotic.

The middle of June means one thing in the world of road racing, and that’s that the 24 Hours of Le Mans is just around the corner. This week, Corvette Racing is working hard to get everything squared away for the race, and Team Manager Gary Pratt was able to take some time and give a tour of the pits at work.
We have the official pricing for the European-spec C7, and it seems we don’t have it so bad, after all. According to the report we heard from our friends over at Car Scoops, the Stingray going to be sold in places like the UK and Germany can expect to pay as much as $96,000 (US). Yikes.
We don’t even know where to begin with this one. We would rag on it for being a awful ’70s custom, but with a nose that’s clearly from a ’03-08 Pontiac Vibe, that’s obviously not the case. We have no clue why this ’79 Corvette received this treatment, or why anyone would do this to a Corvette.
By now you’ve probably scoped out at least a handful of racing videos on the glorious network that is YouTube, but just when you think you’ve seen it all, we come up with yet another epic flick. This time, the video comes compliments of That Racing Channel, a YouTube channel dedicated to creating racing videos.
On Friday, June 14th, Grand-Am Racing hit the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio for the seventh race of the season, but while there were many manufacturers entered in the competition, the Corvette teams left little room for the success of other brands over the weekend.

Styled to resemble a first-gen Y-body, this custom electric vehicle features “Cragers”, billet pedals and “sterring” column, and an ice chest under the hood. One thing it doesn’t have, though, is any visible way to carry golf bags, making this really just a “cart.”
Billy Boat Performance Exhaust will be displaying Corvette headers, catalytic converter pipes and exhaust systems, as well as performing installations, in show space number B208-211.
We don’t know why the arsonist targeted Robert Thrift’s white C4 Corvette , but by the time Thrift got outside with a fire extinguisher, his car was already too far gone. His torched Corvette is just the latest in a string of unexplained car fires that have police blaming a serial arsonist.
When the last fourth-gen Corvette rolled off the assembly line, Mid America Motorworks Chief Cheerleader Mike Yager was there not just to take possession of the car, but help put it together. Check out this vintage video…

It started out in life as a typical, ’69 427/4-speed Corvette of an unknown hue, and at some point during either the Ford or Carter Administrations, went under the knife to become this creation you’re looking at here. But at this asking price, it better include some of the drugs involved in its creation…
Here we have the answer to a question that literally nobody asked – what happens when you combine a Volkswagen Beetle body with C4 Corvette running gear. Thank you, Craigslist, for providing us with a chance to see Things that Should Not Be…
The Corvette Stingray has some of the coolest features ever put into a Chevrolet car, and now you can make sure at least two of them are taken care of for a long time to come. Detroit Speed introduces their new electric headlight door kit and windshield wiper kit for your C2 ‘Vette.

Have you ever gone on Craigslist and asked yourself, “WTF am I looking at?” We have on many occasions, and today was no different. This morning while browsing for a potential new Corvette project car, we ran across this yellow C4 with a – get this – “mock rear engine” stuffed into what used to be the trunk.
