Set up change

Hey guys so just tuning in really quickly to announce a change in some of the articles on the site. There

will still be stories, POTD, quick fixes but all of this with the exception of one thing. I will be adding

separate news articles, for example on the last quick fix i had talked about the airless tires, now with the

new set up i will have a little rant on that specifically and only that. So look forward to it because i know i

do, and the new year is fast approaching in just 2 days! Prepare yourself and look on my site for some Car

of the Year Winners!

Saab the Swedish car company is shutting down, rather a sad prospect as they did have some good cars. Hopefully this plague of financial problems over the last few years wont result in the death of more automakers.

Engines for the Cadillac ATS have been announced, you will have 3 choices, a V-6, or 2 different types of I-4's one of those available with a turbo. the v-6 which will be top dog in the engine choices will be producing more than 300 hp, so this new sedan will be quite the competitor for the 3 series, and IS series

Bridgestone has been showing off their new air free tire design, currently only in the development stages, this "air-free" tire will be composed of cross spokes, and very strong one. If that wasnt enough this tire will also be made completely out of recycled material, so in the future behold the Air-Free tire!









The Porsche Turbo S Edition Spyder 918, and the Spyder 918 are becoming more of a reality. The Spyder if you dont know is a hybrid super car, with a predicted 3.1 0-60 time, AWD, and a maximum hp of 718. This car is going around the Nubergring faster than a Carrera GT, and with "conservative" gas milage numbers of 94mpg, this car is stacking up to be one impressive beast. All of this seems to be making this car quite the winner, but the Spyder 918 will set your back around $800K, yes.... 800, and the special edition Turbos around $160K.

The Merc C63 AMG Black, just lapped the Nurbergring in 7:46!, that surpasses its competition of the BMW M3 GTS. Very impressed, only thing is this car is a truly track dedicated car, and as said before and now way to hard for the street.

BMW releases from rendering of the possible 8-series. Now this picture is a very early picture but the general concept of the car is suppose to be a GT or Gran Touring car, seeing the size it can see why that is believed, and im not going to lie i like the look but will it work? when i say work i mean price wise... it will probably be more than $125K but never the less cant wait to see it.

SUPERCARS!

Quick Fix

2013 John Cooper Works Mini is getting good reviews. As it is know minis are very small, light, pretty quick cars. John Cooper Works is the special edition that the guys down at Mini offer, you get 4WD, a lighter body, a new more aggressive bodykit, and 181 Hp. The only down fall of this car is that its base price for the John Cooper Works edition is ridiculously over priced, probably going to be around 40k which frankly is way to much for a mini, just buy a Bimmer, or Audi.

It has been announced that the Morgan Aero GT will be delayed for another 2 years! Well what can you expect from a company that builds their chassis from wood, in a small factory, cant blame em.

Its been confirmed that there will be a Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster, and with any roadster a performance drop comes so lets see how this will compare to the coupe. 

World Fastest Christmas card, a funny video put together by the guys down at BMW and of course this also doubles as a marketing ad for the insanely crazy M5

First  used Lexus LFA was sold on ebay for a whopping 386K with only 385 miles, thing is this car is part of only 500, so considering the rarity of there things you can get a good chunk of change off of them.

Next Subaru engine has been announced, 2.0 liter boxer producing 270 hp, that may not seem like much but when combined with the amazing tuning and 4WD of Imprezas, near super car performance can be reached. It still amazes me though that Subaru and Mitsu can still get that much horsepower out of a 2.0 Liter 4 Cylinder engine.

BMW and Toyota have a partnership!, yeah who know. Whats the first thing they are going to do? well of course put some Diesel engines in some Camry's. Now you may be wondering when will this be coming here, as Camry reliability with BMW performance and reliability is heaven(besides the whole Prius incident), strangely enough though this car will only be in Australia, assuming that this does go through. Lets see what those lucky Aussies get and then we'll decide.

On the Italian side of things though Ferrari has announced quite a few exciting goodies. The Ferrari California will be getting a facelift, which is perfect( No, seriously it is i think the California is ugly). The next Enzo has been planned, and a replacement for the amazing 599 GTB Floriano.

The 2012 Lotus Exige S is coming to america but in the form of a track car! Sporting a Supercharged V-6 anda body which weighs as much as a feather this can will be one exciting ride.

BMW 650i 0-60 in about 4.5 seconds, and for a car that weighs around 2 tons that is amazing. This new body style is better, and its quicker than some ///M's and its not even an ///M... which doesn't really make sense, but non the less an impressive feat( even though the pricing is ridiculous)

Ford you still dont make sense

Shelby GT500, Shelby GT350, Boss 305, At first glance the order in which i put these names wouldn't really matter, but if they did how would you look at them? Best to worst, or vice versa..... well i put them from worst to best. Ford has recently been coming out with heavily tuned monsters, of course progressing from the ridiculous Ford Mustang SVT which had an amazing exhaust note, but this 4th generation was considered to be a failure. Then there was the 5th generation which was the more squarish body, and most people would put the 5th generation under current as well but i feel as if 2010- present is technically the "6th generation" given that almost everything on the car changed. What this 6th generation as well as the 5th generation has given us is the GT500, the Boss 302 and the GT350(no particular order) 

Now granted the names should technincally be a tell all, back in the day when companies gave names based on the HP(or at least in america) but this is false. The GT500 is making around 550Bhp, the 302 around 444Bhp and the GT350 around 350 Hp. This would make the tables turn in the direction of the GT500 yet they dont for some reason. The reason... its rather stupid if you ask me, it sort of represents why America has never done exceptionally well in the car world with the exception of the famous truck. They overlook the little things, or in this case the big things. The conception of Americans and cars is Horses horses and more horses, all we care about is power and thats is the common view from everyone else in the world. We cant build a good reliable car (like the Germans) because all we concentrate on is power in our upper range models. 

This power problem is what causes this discrepancies here with these cars. The GT500 is making the most power but its running on some archaic version of rear suspension called an independent suspension setup where the back wheels dont communicate with the front wheels at all. The GT500 is also running skinny tires and doesn't even have launch control. The GT350 and the Boss on the other hand have updated suspension, better grippier wide tires, better tech, better gearboxes, and well better everything. This being said when the GT500 starts at 48K and the 302 at 40K why even glance at the GT500. The 302 turns better, accelerates faster, brakes faster, and looks sleeker.

Now you can see the meaning in my title, Ford is making great cars... yes great, this 302 is amazing, and well could be a M3 killer(i guess) but they are deceiving us with these names and prices. I am not saying raise the price of the 302 but rather adjust the price of the GT500. I hope Ford can keep making cars like the Boss because if that is the future of Ford i wouldn't mind me one, well as long as i have my Bavarian beauty that is.

Porsche Targa S.. I think

Quick Fix

Selling version of the Ferrari 599XX has been announced and shown, expected to be the predecesor to the Ferrarri Enzo this car is packing, boasting a ridiculous 739HP and knocking 77 pounds off the previous XX this car is a true beast. Unfortunately you will never see these on the road.. not because they aren't going to be sold but because Ferrari will only allow them to be used on the track. I see their point here as a super car is meant to be driven like a super car, but whats the fun in one when you cant show it off to your friends.

Mercedes takes to the top of the sales units for the month of November, which has been usually dominated by BMW. BMW gave a statement saying the only reason is because they decided to hold back their new 3 series until 2012 which is a good economic decision.

Traxxas came out with a remote controlled car that can hit 100MPH, this little car will even give super cars as run for their money as O to 100 is achieved in a mere 5.1 Seconds and 0-60 in 2.3.

The new Koniggsegg Agera R has broken 6 Guinness Records. 0-184 mph in 14.53 seconds, 0-200 in 17 seconds,200-0 in 7.28 seconds, 186-0 in 6.66 seconds  0 to 200 to 0 in 24 seconds, and  0-186-0 in 24.96. Not to mention the rumored top speed is....275 MPH finally somebody giving Bugatti a run for their money as the worlds fastest car, and in a sexier car. Talk about ridiculous heres the video.

In other news GM has built their 100 millionth small block engine and by any stretch of the imagination that is a ridiculously amazing achievement, congrats to GM for being able to stay around and being popular enough to achieve this feat. 

Cadillac releases some teaser pictures of their new "ATS" series which is scheduled for production in 2013. This car is a small 4 door sports sedan and its aimed right at the heart of the car world, the BMW 3 series. Though from what Cadillac as been coming out with i would not be surprised at all if this car happened to be even better than the 3 series, that is assuming they can keep their quality up.
