    The convertible specialists at Newport Convertible Engineering (NCE) have tackled everything from the Toyota Prius to Hummer H2, including the Dodge Challenger and Mercedes CL. Their latest project is the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, and though it's not quite done yet, it will be ready soon, so the company is already taking orders. If you do decide to lop the top off your new Camaro, expect to wait 4-6 weeks for the conversion to complete. The first brave owner to do the conversion volunteered his orange SS model, and though the resulting vehicle hasn't yet been released, expect it to look a lot...

    Sportec takes Audi S4 Avant output to 425hp

    You'd think that spending the time, effort and money to get another 92hp out of your car would yield more than 0.1 seconds in the 0-62mph dash and the same top speed, but for the Swiss tuners at Sportec, that's unfortunately exactly what happened.

  • Steve Saleen and the SMS Supercars logo

    Last week we reported on a pair of new Saleen Mustangs due by 2010, and the chain of transfers that has seen the Saleen, Inc. brand end up in the hands of Micheal Shields and MJ Acquisitions. Now Steve Saleen and his new company, SMS Supercars, have announced a lawsuit launched to defend use of the Saleen name. The point of the suit is to prohibit MJ Acquisitions from using the Saleen name - not to stop it from turning out custom Mustangs or aftermarket parts. But Steve Saleen and SMS Supercars don't want to see the Saleen image tainted by MJ Acquisition's use. He has fair reason for concern...
