The driver of this Chevrolet Camaro is probably not one of the smartest people out on the roads, as evidenced by her futile attempts to evade a pursuing police car by reversing into it. All she manages to achieve is creating a lot of smoke from the burnt rubber of her tires. Also keep an eye out...

Remember Car And Track? If you don't, don't worry about it. The show ran from 1967 to 1975, so it may not be fresh in many minds.

Digesting the latest horsepower figures, performance stats, and driving characteristics is fun, but it can be tough to keep up. Sometimes you just need to kick back, let your digital hair down, and watch a video. Here are the five you watched most in 2010. First up, we have the Hennessey Venom GT...

This is an 850 horsepower engine that was destined to end up in a customized Mustang. Or was, rather. The engine was on its seventh dynamometer test when it gave up the ghost in spectacular fashion. Watch below as the engine says good-bye with such force that some engine parts ended up in the next...

Cram a big 'Merkin V-8 into a lightweight roadster? Classic formula. Use said roadster to produce clouds of power-induced tire smoke? Just as classic.
