This week on txGarage we are testing the all new 2010 Toyota Prius. In all honesty, I’ll have to say none of us were too thrilled about driving the Prius for the week, Hybrid cars just are not our style.

The Camaro is Back

Sunoco Camaro

Sunoco Camaro

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.
