Consumer Reports pits modern muscle cars against each other in battle of supremacy

Consumer Reports is famous not for comparing high performance vehicles, but the reliability of say, econo boxes and mid size sedans. But the guys and gals that work at CR are true car fans, and that fact is quite evident in this video which pits the three modern muscle cars against each other.

The video previews an upcoming comparison test between the Ford Mustang GT, Chevy Camaro SS, and Dodge Challenger R/T. Watch the rubber burn.

ASC creates a new Trans-Am using a 2010 Camaro

We knew, inevitably, that someone would do this. Unfortunately it won't be Pontiac, since they're being sent to the automotive graveyard by GM as part of it's restructuring efforts.

ASC (American Specialty Cars) stepped up to create the brother-of-Camaro clone, and it turned out better than we would have expected. And the best part is that ASC can take your 2010 Camaro and transform it into a Trans Am for you.

Details are scarce for now, but we'll be sure and have more as soon as it becomes available.

2010 Chevrolet Corvette changes, including Grand Sport

At the annual C5/C6 Bash at the Corvette's Bowling Green Assembly Plant, numerous changes were outlined for the 2010 Corvette line. In addition to the rebirth of the Grand Sport, the latest 'Vette will feature launch control as standard on all manual transmission models, Performance Traction Management on the ZR1, being able to order any Corvette in any color, and a cashmere interior package available on the Z06 and ZR1.

The event also featured presentations showing the Grand Sport's technical aspects and launch control. The most humorous part of the presentation is when the speaker notes that use of launch control will not void your warranty, an obvious jab at Nissan's ironic GT-R warranty.
