2011 Corvette ZR1: 3,329 pounds, 638 HP, 604 pound feet of torque, front engine, real wheel drive.
2011 Porsche 911 Turbo: 3,500 pounds, 480 pound feet of torque, 500 HP, rear engine, all wheel drive.
How will they do on 1,320 feet of asphalt?
WHO WILL WIN?!?! Now, we all know I love the Chevy Corvette so this oughta be interesting.
Now, if only this had been a mile long track, there’s no doubt that the ZR1 would have smoked the Porsche. My beloved ZR1 wasn’t as quick off the line as I thought it would have been, still 0-60 in 3 sec is pretty respectable!!!
Still…. wouldn’t you rather have the Corvette over the Porsche?! DUH!!
Have you ever wondered how cars are made? More specifically have you ever wondered how the new Camaro was made? Well some new videos have popped up from the 2010 Chevy Camaro Oshawa Assembly Plant. Well thanks to Matt Rigney over at CamaroBlog.com we can now see these videos.
It’s not everyday we get a look inside at the Oshawa assembly plant where they produce the Chevrolet Camaro but some new videos shed light on what actually goes on if you don’t know already know. We have come across five videos of workers assembling the 2010 Camaro with all facets of production shown. One of the videos deals with the installation of the underside components including the gas tank and everything connected to it. Another video shows us fenders being added along with various types of weatherstripping. These are not Oscar winning performances by GM workers but its definitely very interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes as Camaros are being built.
This is volume one. Check out our first 2 of 5 videos below. Let me know what you think! When you are ready to test drive one of these fabulous Camaros head on over to your Fort Worth Chevy dealer and get behind the wheel of an outstanding machine!
There are a lot of different experiments going on out there trying to find alternate fuels for us to use in our vehicles. This happens to be the most interesting one I have seen in a while. If I could design a car that would run off my grass clippings I think I would be set. Check out this video below of the “Car of the future”….. Well maybe! It runs off of Coke Zero and Mentos. Ha ha!
Have you guys seen this new video for the 2011 Chevy Silverado HD yet? Talk about some incredible animation. It’s a great video and it’s a great truck! I can’t wait until we get this in. When you are ready for a test drive make sure you head over to your Grapevine Chevy Dealer.
Here’s what AutoBlog had to say about it.
The 2011 Chevy Silverado HD didn’t pull any punches about wanting to beat the competition, but it might just pull everything else. In case you missed any of its maybe-or-maybe-not best-in-class numbers, The General has put together a nifty little animation for you that trumpets all of its heavy duty points. And it does a much better job of it than the Dude Perfect spot did…
Chevrolet has come out with a new application for your iPhone and/or iPad. But what is it and what can you do with it?
Here’s the description of the games from iTunes:

Check out this commercial from 1975 all about Chevy, Baseball, Hot dogs, and apple pie. It’s pretty funny.
