There is a car that has absolutely taken our breath away and brought us the look and feel we want in a vehicle that’s right for the drive. It showed up on our television sets during the Super Bowl to the delight of crowds that looked in awe and asked “what is that” wondering if they could even dream to drive this car.

Tires are the part of your vehicle that’s actually making contact with the road. Because of this, the tires you choose for your vehicle are the most important part of your driving experience.

For several generations the Chevrolet Camaro has represented the pony car segment of driving for Chevrolet that was dynamic and ready to take on all other muscle cars on the road. When you purchased your Camaro you knew right away this was a car that only had one thing in mind, winning on the road or track. Unfortunately most of the time that meant the Camaro wasn’t a car that would give you the drive that would be smooth and sophisticated on any road, but it sure could drive fast, no matter how much it rattled you around or was stripped down.

August 5, 2022August 22, 2016 by Zachary Lee

The Wankel Rotary Engine was and still is an engine that is designed to offer maximum power and performance but it does have several drawbacks. Mazda has tried for several years to offer us the rotary engine as a power plant for their RX series vehicles that are some of the most impressive sports cars that we’ve ever seen. Because of the power that can be pushed from these smaller engines we tend to love them at first, but once we experience any of the drawbacks the engines present, the romance is pretty much gone.

When you have created the fastest exotic supercar to every prowl the streets of this planet you have earned the right to address some questions with an air of haughtiness.

This boggled the imagination at the time, but now the Chiron (aptly named after a famed Bugatti driver) is here and is certainly a fitting successor to the lauded Veyron.
