Testdrive

Back in 2011, Hyundai took their first giant leap to take the Sonata from a middle-of the-road mid-size sedan to a real contender for the best in its class. In my opinion, with the 2015 Sonata, they’ve jumped into the top echelon, along with the Chrysler 200, Kia Optima and Ford Fusion, leaving competitors like the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Chevy Malibu in the dust.

If you think that performance tuning of road cars is something that only gearhead hackers do in their garages, you are sadly mistaken. After my recent visit to AMS Performance, I was completely taken aback by the amount of engineering skill and time that it takes to turn everyday sports cars into powerful, track-worthy beasts.

I recently had the opportunity to attend my first ever drag race event with the National Hot Rod Association. I’ll start out by saying that no amount of photographs or video can really capture what you’ll experience at a drag racing event.

During the recent 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), I had the opportunity take BMW’s new i3 electric vehicle for a spin, and thought I’d share some of my experiences here. For starters, the BMW i3 looks like no other vehicle on the road.
