V8-Powered Chevy Colorado

The General Motors supercharged LT4 small-block V8 package is nuts. It produces 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque through the likes of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 as well as the third-generation Cadillac CTS-V. More recently, the engine has been dropped into a mid-size off-road truck known as the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. And let us just tell you, it’s quite the combo. Check it out, right here.

Current-Gen Camaro Headed for Retirement

Chevrolet recently announced that the sixth-generation Camaro will be retired at the close of 2024. It’s not surprising, considering sales for the pony car have been down for some time, especially next to those of the Mustang and Challenger. Fortunately, the nameplate isn’t going anywhere, although we’re unsure exactly what the future holds. Any guesses? Let us know.

A Street Racing Legend: 1970 Challenger

The car featured today was known as “The Black Ghost” on the west side of Detroit. It would come out, win a ton of races, and then disappear. No one really knew who owned this extremely rare ride, but on occasion you would catch a glimpse of it cruising the streets and the rumors would start flowing. Maybe that’s what made The Black Ghost such a spectacle, the mystery of it all. But in any case, the story of this classic ride is tremendous, and truly worth the watch. Click the video below, thanks to Historic Vehicle Association. You won’t regret it.
