Chevy Camaro and Corvette ZR1 Duke It Out On The Asphalt, If You Think The Camaro Wins, You Might Be A Redneck

From Autoblog via MuscleCarBlog: the Chevy Camaro SS and the Chevy Corvette ZR1 were caught going pound for pound on the test track the other day. The Camaro SS actually manages to hold its own in the turns, but when it comes to balls-to-the-wall, flat-out on the straightaway, there’s really no contest.

Drifting: In a 6,000 Pound Maybach 62 S Limo

I’m generally not a big fan of drifting. The race track is hallowed ground, not a silly slip and slide. I prefer high speed, but the guys at iMotor may be on to something.

They took a Maybach 62 S, not exactly the car you think of when you picture drifting, sat in the backseat, drank some champagne, and had their driver loft them around the track sideways. That’s how it’s done in the UK.

The 612 hp of the Maybach should really be used to go fast, but the novelty of seeing a 6,000 pound car sliding sideways around curves while a tuxedoed man smokes a fine Cuban cigar in the backseat is just too fantastic to pass up.

Enjoy:

The Alé by Fuel Vapor Technologies gets 92 mpg !!

Fuel Vapor Technologies has created a high mileage car called The Alé. (FVT) is a small green British Columbia R&D Technology company specializing in improving the automobile and its impact on the earth. They believe that they can significantly improve fuel economy without sacrificing performance.

Global TV Coverage of the Alé

History
For the past 2 years FVT has been concentrating on developing a proprietary fuel delivery system and a light-weight, 3-wheeled high performance sports car from the ground up. The alé (allay) is one of very few independently designed vehicles specifically created to demonstrate and test advancements in new automotive technologies.

Accomplishments to date include:
-92 mpg US (2.56 L/100km)
-0-60 in 5 seconds
-1.7 G’s cornering ability
-Voted “Car of the Show” by Speed Channel at SEMA
-Televised on Speed Channel, Discovery Channel, Global TV
-Featured internationally in magazines, news articles, websites and radio shows

Breaking the 100mpg barrier
To date, 92 mpg is the best they have achieved using their fuel vapor system and a standard internal combustion engine. Because their focus is on breaking the 100mpg barrier and winning the Automotive X-PRIZE FVT’s next prototype will be a series hybrid. It will use electric power for most of its time on the road with longer distances being accomplished using a small on-board “range extending “generator running on regular gasoline and our fuel vapor system.

Along with the Tesla Roadster this company is truly proving that fuel efficient cars don’t have to be slow, ugly or unimaginative!!
