General Motors’ rear-wheel drive Zeta platform was pioneered in Australia for the locally built Holden Commodore sedan but right from the start Detroit had global intentions for the design. Today, Zeta running gear can be found in models sold in China, South Korea, the UK, and in North...

Our guys are still moving their way eastward across the country as they participate in the Fireball Run, and here's a quick peek at what happened on days three and four of the Run. On Day Three, our guys had no problems with the Fireball Run's assorted missions, only missing one 10-point bonus. But...

We woke up this morning not knowing what to expect. It turns we had even less of an idea than we thought we did. Frenetic mayhem is the only phrase I can find to describe what went on inside the Camaro SS. But as crazy as it got, it was fun. The day started out well enough. Feeling good from our...

The Fireball Run has begun, and our guys in the Camaro have already had track experience, stumbled across a prototype Mercedes being tested, and spent a lot of time searching for a fire extinguisher. The big news is that after Day Two's track events, High Gear Media edged into the points lead...

Today the Fireball Run headed out to Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the first track challenges of the rally. Both road course and autocross competitions were up for grabs, with the winner taking home 100 points--points that will become key as we head into the mission competition tomorrow. I chose to...

Nelson and I landed in Las Vegas earlier today for the kickoff of the Fireball Run, which starts with track events at Las Vegas Motor Speedway Friday morning. The entire day has been pretty much a whirlwind with a few ups and downs. Everything has worked out so far but not without a little brain...

Valentino Balboni. Lamborghini's test driver of the last 40 years, the now-retired Balboni has a special-edition Gallardo made in his honor. He'll be driving one in the Fireball Run. And I have to race him. The 2010 Fireball Run will be the first time Balboni has participated in a multi-day road...

High Gear Media is taking the country by storm, starting September 23 and running through October 2, as we join the Fireball Run, which starts in Las Vegas and ends in Galena, Illinois, raising awareness of missing children along the way. We'll be team 68 out of 75, and we will be taking the wheel...

General Motors Company [NYSE:GM] is crowing about the results of the latest testing by the Michigan State Police of the 2011 Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle. Turns out it jaunts to 60 mph, 100 mph and gets back to a stop quicker than the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor and the Dodge Charger...

Chevy will be hitting Paris hard this year, bringing four new world premieres to the floor. Of the four, only the 2012 Aveo is expected for the U.S., though we can lust after the mostly-attractive Cruze five-door hatch from afar. The 2012 Chevrolet Aveo, which we last spied in sedan form in July...

Over the eight days from September 24-October 2, Team High Gear Media will be driving a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, all but living out of it as we compete our way across the country. We'll be traversing 3,500 miles of the American heartland, from Henderson, Nevada to Galena, Illinois, and we won't be...

Want to update your Facebook status to say something about your tremendously fun drive behind the wheel of your new Camaro but don't want to risk crashing while you use your smart phone to update? Well, GM just might have the solution for you. That's right, GM is working on a system that will allow...

Hello readers, I'd like to introduce myself as the new editor of Mustang Blog, Camaro Blog, and Challenger Blog. I come here after helming High Gear Media's Family Car Guide, All Pickup Trucks, and Ford Reports Web sites. Before I joined High Gear Media as a freelance contributor, I worked at...

The business of focus grouping in the auto industry can be a bit of an echo chamber. The group you select shapes the responses you get. Chevrolet is putting this two-edged sword to use with the ongoing development of the Camaro, and in this video, we get a look at the "15 Disciples" group of...

The hatchback envy color today is orange. GM's Australian arm Holden has just unveiled its very sleek new Cruze hatch. No, it won't be coming to the U.S. Yes, it's wearing the bowtie badges, but that's because it was released by Chevrolet Europe, where it will no doubt see significant sales. Aside...

Almost a year ago, we brought you word that GM insiders were anxious to see a return to fast, small cars, including a possible Chevrolet Cruze SS. Today we have more word that the push for performance compacts is alive and well, and once again the Cruze is the focal point. It's a natural choice for...

There are plenty of awesome coupes, roadsters, and spyders readily available today, but if you're willing to wait a bit (read: maybe a few years), there are a handful of hot new ones on their way. Whatever your price range, you've got something to look forward to. These aren't the only ones worth...

The setting: GM's Milford Proving Grounds test track. The players: former F1 pilot turned NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya and a Corvette ZR1. The result: lots of fast driving, some opposite lock, and a few backhanded compliments. While Montoya does have a lot of good to say about America's...

You might think sitting behind the wheel for a few hours is an easy way to earn a living, but you'd be wrong. Endurance racing in particular requires the ability to focus at almost superhuman levels for hours while fighting heat, g forces, the effort of driving the car, and, of course, the rest of...

For those of you who have been following this blog since its inception, you may have noticed I am no longer posting news updates. The truth of the matter is I am handing off my writing duties to another writer so I can spend more time with my family and work on other website projects. As of today...
