It has been a long time since we have seen a real race series pitting iconic American muscle cars against each other. The Camaro vs Mustang in American racing is what helped spark the muscle car revaluation in the late 60′s. Seeing the classic dark blue Sunoco Chevy Camaro back to fight agains the Mustang in the Grand-Am KONI challenge brings us back to those iconic times.
We will get a chance to see these cars go head to head during the final round of the 2009 KONI Race at Virginia International Raceway. We don’t expect the Camaro to have a spectacular showing against the seasoned Mustangs but it should still be a blast to watch. If you tune in you will also get the pleasure of watching them battle with the new M3′s, Porsche’s, GTI’s, Miata’s, and a Subaru Legacy. It is a great and exciting racing series.

2010 Hennessey Z700

- 2010 Hennessey Z700
Looking for a Corvette? C6 just not doing it for you? Z06? Well the ZR1 surely will be enough to keep u smiling on a race track? No? Hennessey didn’t think so either! If you had the option to get a 911, a 911 GT3, or a 911GT3RS what would you pick?
Hennessey knows there is a market out there for taking a high performance Super Car and making it that much better for the track, so they give you the Z700. Power is jumped from 638 to 705hp and from 604lb-ft to 717 lb-ft torque. This isn’t just a horsepower monster Hennessey has also put the fat American car on a diet by adding more carbon fiber. They threw in some carbon fiber seats, carbon fiber wheels, and a new carbon fiber front splitter enhancing down force. There will be only 24 examples produced of this limited edition Corvette ready to drive home for only $207,150 Dollars. With numbers like 0-60 in 2.9 seconds and to 100mph in just 6.4 seconds it’s defiantly has the numbers to back the price.
Be sure you’ll see one of these on a track near you in Texas.
