Experience 123 mph around Detroit’s Belle Isle Grand Prix with IndyCar star Will Power

detroit2013DETROIT — Three mint-condition red Camaro SS official pace cars sent demonic tire screams to the skies Monday as they raced the 2.3-mile Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix with journalists in the passenger seats.

“Someone’s going to have to change their pants right now,” Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix Chairman Bud Denker said as Australian driver Will Power’s car came tearing into a nearby turn, the tail end fishtailing precariously before the car regained its composure and screeched out of sight.

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

2014Z28There is no brand more iconic to American racing than Chevrolet and thankfully for the every man they have used each ounce of their storied racing history in producing the 2014 Camaro Z/28. First produced in 1967 to compete as a race car the 2014 Z/28 is not designed to compete anywhere specific, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a race car at heart.

Taking its cues from the original Z/28 the 2014 has no air conditioning, is only available in a manual transmission and features a V-8 motor. Though both V-8’s the new Z/28 has an LS7 motor that was originally found in the Z06 Corvette. To better put into perspective how far the Z/28 motor has come since its inception the original got 290hp out of a 302 cid while the new 427 cid LS7 7.0L motor is capable of producing over 500hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Though capable of greater numbers the motor is optimized for track performance.

RC Car Chase Goes Hollywood Style

rcfandf6An RC car chase goes wild in a dark warehouse as a mini Camaro attempts to escape the police.

There’s no question that radio-controlled cars are tons of fun. Whether you’re an adult or kid, RC cars can provide hours upon hours of entertainment, and with a little bit of imagination, you can also create some nifty Hollywood-style action scenes. Take this specially commissioned epic mini-movie as an example. It was created by La Muscle and the studio behind the new “Fast and Furious” film (the sixth installment in the series) to celebrate the duo’s partnership.

Collector’s Corner: His-and-hers Camaros draw envious stares

70and71rsTeresa Christison has loved “pretty and fast” cars since she was a little girl, preferring to play in the dirt with toy cars rather than indulge in make-believe tea parties. Her first love affair — with Corvettes — lasted until her parents bought one when she was 17 but wouldn’t allow her to drive it.

The following year, she was standing with a group of high school friends when a beautiful yellow 1970 Camaro rolled by with a for-sale sign on it. She was off and running when the car pulled into a nearby service station. “I pummelled the owner with questions: ‘How much is it? What’s under the hood? Is it an automatic or stick?’ ”

She definitely wanted the optional four-speed transmission and the car had a 327-cubic-inch V-8 engine. The asking price was $3,000. “I knew I had to convince my dad to let me have it,” she recalls of her excitement 27 years ago.
