Rev It Up Registration Now Open - Think Fast!
Published 1 year, 10 months ago in EventsAttention thrill seekers, car nuts and racing fans — Rev It Up®, the World’s Largest Performance Driving School and National Racing Competition, returns in 2006 with more professional instruction, more adrenaline crazed excitement, and added horsepower thanks to Chevrolet’s lineup of performance vehicles.
Rev It Up (RIU), presented by Chevrolet, combines fast cars, challenging courses and expert trainers for a high-energy experience. Competitors only need to sign up, show up, listen up to professional racers, and polish up skills in practice laps driving Chevy vehicles before striding up to the RIU Competition Course for a shot at the National Championship and a brand new Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged Coupe.
Chevrolet General Manager Ed Peper said, “Chevrolet’s line of products make high-performance cars accessible to everyone and Rev It Up gets race fans off the couch and onto the race course. It’s a perfect fit. From the Cobalt SS to Corvette, participants will find out why Chevrolet is America’s best selling brand.”
After receiving training from professional racers, participants will experience firsthand Chevrolet performance vehicles such as the 440hp Corvette, 171hp Cobalt SS, 205hp Cobalt SS Supercharged and 303hp Impala SS.

I participated in a previous version of Rev It Up two years ago and had a blast. Well-run event, and lots of cars to drive and several different courses to practice on (with instruction by pro racers) before running in the actual timed competition. First prize on the autocross course is a new car! The first event of the series is this weekend in Los Angeles, which I’ll be at.
I talked to some of the instructors last time and was told that the company behind this event was founded by none other than Jim Wangers, who is widely known as one of the fathers of the original Pontiac GTO, and is a living legend among true muscle car fans. Jim is prominently mentioned on the old “Bring back the GTO!” site here:

The GTO was brought back from the past, now we need the new Camaro!
I have been a GM employee for 23 years now and of course, buys only GM cars. I bought my Chevy Camaro in 1999. It is the best GM car ever and I’ve owned a few. With 165,000 miles, it still sounds like it did the day I bought it. So, why would they discontinue this beautiful machine? I’m sure it was because of some beauracratic BS. Anywho!!! When and if GM decides to put it in production, and I pray they will, the line forms behind me!!!!
