  • 1936 Master Deluxe lowrider

    Born in Southern California, lowrider culture has had a significant impact on car culture at large, though the style has never quite achieved much direct attention. Because of this, a trio of high-class lowriders is set to invade Pebble Beach this week in an effort to showcase the culture and customizing style on a different stage. The three lowriders, all classic Chevrolets, will be shown through a newly-founded partnership between the Petersen Automotive Museum and ClassicCars.com. The two parties also worked together to bring “The High Art of Riding Low: Ranflas, Corazón e...

  • Camaro ZL1 and Ford GT on race track

    Let this sink in for a moment: Ford's bonkers GT supercar actually makes less horsepower than a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. It's true; the numbers don't lie. A Camaro ZL1 leaves the factory with 650 horsepower on tap from its 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine, while the Ford GT comes up a tad shy with 647 hp from its 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine. With professional drivers behind the wheel, the Ford GT would likely still leave the Camaro ZL1 in its dust, but video from casual racers shows the two can be pretty evenly matched. The Camaro ZL1's peak power is delivered at 6,400 rpm and the Ford...

    2017 Chevrolet Silverado HD first drive review: playing with John Deere equipment in the adult sandbox

    When I was just a wee lad, I spent countless hours in the sandbox playing with my Hot Wheels and Tonka trucks.

  • 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe by Prestone and Barrett Jackson

    Barrett-Jackson and Prestone are taking on a rarity from Chevrolet. The auction house and Prestone have teamed up to restore and auction off a 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. What's so special about the Monte Carlo Aerocoupe? The design actually has quite a bit of thought behind it. In the 1980s, Chevrolet realized it needed to do more to make its NASCAR racer more competitive and to bring home wins on race day. The result was the Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. NASCAR homologation rules meant Chevrolet had to build at least 200 of them for the road. So, it's a pretty rare car...

    John Hennessey explains how to order an Exorcist Camaro ZL1

    The term "muscle car" doesn't begin to describe what the Chevrolet Exorcist Camaro ZL1 is capable of. With 1,000 horsepower—959 hp at the rear wheels—the Exorcist Camaro should even give the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon a run for its money. So, how can you buy one? John Hennessey of...

    Tour de (special) force: How the Army and Chevy team up on the front lines

    Get off the X. That’s what you do when the shit goes down. And in a vehicle, that means speed can be your friend. That’s just one of the rules that Delta Force operators follow in wartime. The “X,” in this case, is an attack, and if you are in a vehicle that is under attack...

    This custom Chevy Colorado pre-runner is an exercise in off-road excess

In a statement, Adek explained that there are three main elements to the livery referencing the three drivers that will be taking turns behind the wheel. On one side is a woman with a strong gaze defining a fighting spirit. On the opposing side is a man’s...
