    I was given the opportunity to join GM at the stingray precision Drive event at the auto club Speedway in Fontana California on Thursday. Several different courses were set up for us to drive the car, including a short blast on the superspeedway. The new car is good, very good.

    So my Dad is going to buy a new Vette (he's had a 1969 C3 which is now mine, a '90 ZR1 and currently a '99 C5 Coupe). Is there a performance axle/automatic? Is there an insullated convertible top option? (He's in the desert and needs to keep the heat out). I've got him convinced to get...

    Voltage output on a '99

    The local dealer tells my dad he needs a battery and an alternator. 1) Does the alternator have a separate voltage regulator (I'm pretty sure it's built in) 2) Is 13.2 Volts normal output? The car is ranging between 11. something and 13.2 max. So my dad says. He took the car...

    Porsche Kill

    :D I got to whip on a bright yellow '97 Porsche 996/911 today with a trick exhaust and a whale tale! We ran up into the 120MPH range, up a very long steep hill, I guess all that torque my stroker puts out paid off. The guy just couldn't believe my antique could clobber him so bad. He was a...
