This third-generation F-Body offering from The General is a spitting image of the Camaro IROC-Z we featured last week. The GTA, which stands for Gran Turismo Americano, was the top dog in the Firebird line-up, positioned as a luxury performer in the mold of Europe’s best touring coupes. In ’87 the Firebird was mid-way through [...]

Forza Motorsport 3 Car of the Day 1985 Ford RS200 Evolution
Geschrieben am 22. Okt, 2009 von HCUS JACKO.
Looking like a twisted stealth technology exercise shrouded in a funky 1980s styling tsunami, the Ford RS200 is actually a very serious car. The Ford RS200 Evolution was crowned as the quickest-accelerating car in the world in 1986 according to the “Guinness Book of World Records” when it scampered to 100 km/h (62 mph) in [...]

Geschrieben am 16. Okt, 2009 von HCUS JACKO.
This trip down memory lane is strewn with potholes and ruts. The 1990 model year was the last to see the IROC-Z moniker. It was also the year “Dances With Wolves” dominated the Oscars, “The Simpsons” debuted, Saddam invaded and Hubble deployed. Windows 3.0 dropped, GM’s Saturn division was born and at the Grammy’s M.C.

Forza Motorsport 3 Car of the Day 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS
Geschrieben am 13. Okt, 2009 von HCUS JACKO.
Worth the wait, redefining the modern musclecar, blowing away the competition is how the all-new 2010 Camaro SS is being hyped. While we appreciate all the throwback, retro styling in the latest ‘modern musclecars’ we also hope the shortcomings of the originals do not come along for the ride…things like lackluster handling, Spartan interiors and [...]

Forza Motorsport 3 Car of the Day 1979 Chevy Camaro Z28
Geschrieben am 12. Okt, 2009 von HCUS JACKO.
A blunt three-piece front spoiler and a fresh “lavish for the era’ two-tone graphics package for 1979 became the signature look of late second-gen Camaros, whose production run spanned from 1970 to 1981. The artful exercise paid off as the Camaro enjoyed a banner year in 1979 tallying a record 282,582 in sales, 84,877 of [...]

The car is simply irresistible with its turbo-enhanced, highly refined 2.0-liter TSI four-cylinder rated at 197 horsepower and 207 lbs-ft of torque, a dramatically [...]

Geschrieben am 08. Okt, 2009 von HCUS JACKO.
Saleen puts its spin on the sport truck and it’s a full 360. Double takes and slack jaws are the norm as Blue Oval fans froth at the mouth over this specially tricked out F-150. Saleen is a not-so-classic race driver turns car manufacturer tale that kicks off with Steve Saleen racing Mustangs in the [...]
