When the 101st running of the Indianapolis 500 kicks off in a few weeks time, it will be with a Chevrolet at the head of the field…as the pace car. Aside from fielding several of the top entries for this year's race, Chevy is once again supplying the pace car, a patriotically colored...

Place your bets, ladies and gents. What will it be?

That is the question ahead of watching the video above. After viewing the results are...

There are exhaust modifications, and then there are exhaust diverters. The latter is responsible for some pretty loud noises in this 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. In fact, it's so loud, it caused the side curtain airbags to deploy. Here's the backstory. YouTuber GuitarmageddonZL1 ordered a pretty...

We've already flown across the sand, climbed dunes, and picked our way down steep hills like a mountain goat in the 2017 Ford F-150 Raptor. The truck proved to be up the off-road test, but then it should have been. This thing was designed and built to be a desert runner from the get go. Heck, a...

McLaren has confirmed it will drop the top on its 570S sometime in 2017, officially announcing the impending arrival of the 570S Spider. The British supercar maker's chief, Mike Flewitt, revealed the 570S would be treated to a folding, hard-top roof, but at the same time stated a 540C Spider has...

The Toyota Tacoma's "just right" recipe has long made it a leader among smaller (but still rather large) pickups, and this year the most capable out-of-the-box Taco TRD Pro offers an even more compelling reason to get dirty. It's sort of a "Raptor Lite," an off-road-ready pickup built up to save...

If you just bought a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the chances are good that you're quite keen on taking it out to your local drag strip.
