Chevrolet

We’ve spent a little time behind the wheel of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 here, and it’s a pretty capable off-road truck. But one thing I’ve not really cared for since it first broke cover back in 2017 is the way its front end looks.

The prospects of mid-engine Corvettes hitting the roads is pretty damned exciting all on its own. But the idea that you can enjoy all of that power, balance, and handling prowess with the wind in your hair makes it even more appealing.

Now that we know what the mid-engine Corvette finally looks like, and have its basic specs, Chevrolet has now revealed full pricing details for the initial batch of Vettes headed our way in 2020. Initially, there will be three trim levels for the Stingray: 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT, with prices starting at $59,995, $67,295, and $71,945, respectively.

After years of speculation that Chevrolet would build the mid-engined Corvette that Zora Arkus-Duntov dreamed of, that day is finally here. The 8th-generation Corvette Stingray is different from top to bottom, riding on a completely new platform.

About 2 years ago, General Motors asked the NHTSA for a temporary waiver on certain safety equipment that is required in modern autos. It wanted to field a fleet of around 2,500 Chevy Bolt autonomous cars for a ride-sharing program that had no controls inside for humans.

Let’s face it. The folks over at Hennessey Performance are insane. They build cars with way more power than they really need or can use much of the time. Take the new HPE1200 kit for the C7 Corvette ZR1.

After all the rumors, speculation, and spy shots that have floated around, Chevrolet is finally going on the record that the Corvette C8 is coming. They recently revealed a camouflaged car image, with big “07.18.19” stickers on its doors.

Corvette fans have been waiting in anticipation for the unveiling of what has long been rumored to be a new mid-engine C8 Corvette. While there have been lots of sightings of the car under camouflage, word is that the new Vette’s official reveal has been delayed for three big reasons.

The current generation Corvette (aka the “C7”) has been around for about 5 years now. Chevrolet has new generation of Corvette in the works. We have seen an alleged prototype C8.R before, and a whole fleet of test mules showed up in Southern California last week.

If you were to show the front end of the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD to a bunch of auto journalists, most of them would find something to dislike about the truck’s front end. The new design has certainly polarized car guys and gals who either find it attractive or hideous, with few in between.

When a good friend of mine was invited by Chevrolet to attend a two-day performance driving school, I took advantage of the chance to tag along even though I’m not a Corvette owner, meaning I’d have to pay my own way.

An American rally team has taken an incredibly boring Chevy Sonic and turned it into something cool. PMR Motorsports pulled the anemic 138 hp four out of the Sonic and crammed inside an LS3 V8 and gave it an all-wheel drivetrain.

I’m not sure how the person who posted this video managed to make their way into what appears to be a closed test session, but I am glad they did. The video shows off what appears to be the rumored mid-engine Corvette C8.R race car in testing at the famed Sebring racetrack.

The late ’70s and early ’80s weren’t a good time for performance cars. Even the legendary Corvette was rather tame aside from its wild looks with flared fenders and swoopy roof. My dad owned multiple Corvettes of this era, and what I remember of them all was a cramped interior, an inability to see over the dash, and super heavy doors that a kid couldn’t close.

Chevrolet will bring a few Camaros to this year’s SEMA convention, showing off aftermarket accessories that can be added by their dealers. One of those show cars is decked out in a new bright yellow color called “Shock,” that will be offered to buyers of the 2019 Camaro.
