Can You Wait 2 Months for the Z06 Annoucement?
May 10th, 2021 Chris Phillip
Only. Two months. To go. That's the word on the streets that Chevrolet will introduce the C8 Z06 in July 2021. More speed? Yes! Thanks to the new LT6 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V-8, expect the new Super Vette to deliver 615 horsepower and 490 lb-ft or torque. That will put the new C8 Z06 on par with the 562 hp Ferrari 458 Italia. The new Corvette is expected to sticker for a starting price of $...

May the Fourth be with You
May 4th, 2021 Chris Phillip
Happy Star Wars Day! A long time ago in a galaxy, well, this galaxy in the days before vinyl wraps, fanboys took airbrushes in hand and immortalized Star Wars scenes on their cars and vans. This promotional 1977 Toyota Celica may have started the craze. Built by Twentieth Century Fox and a Toyota in conjunction with the Star Wars theatrical release in 1977, this Celica stood out with a Star Wars p...

Classic Chevy Tri-Power Engine? Nope. Look Again.
April 29th, 2021 Chris Phillip
At first look, you might mistake this photo as a classic Chevy big-block from the 1960s. That's what Lokar's LS Classic Series “Classic in a Crate” wants you to think. You're actually looking at an LS crate engine with Tri-Power, spark plugs even a Frigidaire A/C compressor. Lokar's description says: All of our LS Classic components are available, installed, on one of our Classic Crate Engines. We...

The Tesla Mustang - The Perfect "0-60 mph in 2.2 Seconds" Mashup
April 28th, 2021 Chris Phillip
Nobody denies how quick the Tesla Model S with Ludicrous Plus mode is. A time-bending 2.2 seconds! But not everybody wants a whispy, wind-tunnel tuned body on their daily driver. Enter Aviar, makers of the Aviar R67, which ditches the Tesla Model S body and replaces it with a 1967 Ford Mustang. It even has the range of a Tesla Model S - 387 miles per charge. If old-school is your perspective, this...

April 27th, 2021 Chris Phillip
Yesterday may have gotten all the news for National Hemi Day (4/26, in case you didn't know!), but, starting today, Ford takes the spotlight with three national days in a row. It all starts with National 427 day, as in the 427cid engine that ruled NHRA (Anybody remember the Thunderbolt?) and made the Cobra such a brutal force of man over nature. But that's just the start of Ford's triple National...

100 Years is a very Long Time oh yes oh
April 26th, 2021 Chris Phillip
In a search for the eldest hot rod on RYNO, I chanced upon this 1919 Model T Ford C cab. Can it really be over 100 years have passed from when Ford's best-selling automobile of the prewar era was still in production? Some, including this author, recall the Munster coach from the TV show "The Munsters," which was built by George Barris from three Ford Model Ts. This Herman and Lilly-style hot rod i...
