OK, so General Motors, maybe even Chevrolet, is building what appears to be a mid-engined supercar. We’ve teased some spy shots before. So far however, nobody has officially called it a Corvette—heck, by the time it reaches production, it could just as easily be called a Fiero. But we’re pretty confident now that this mid-engined beast
Warmer ambient air temperatures put additional strain on your vehicle’s cooling system. If you’re doing a lot of driving in a hot climate, there are some easy inspections that you can perform to ensure your car or truck can handle the heat.

Courtney Force captured her first career back-to-back Funny Car victories Monday afternoon at the rain-delayed 30th annual Menards NHRA Heartland Nationals in Topeka, KS. Clay Millican won Top Fuel and Deric Kramer earned his first-career Mello Yello Drag Racing Series NHRA Wally by winning in Pro Stock. The race at Heartland Motorsports Park was the
Before you go modifying any vehicle, it’s important to understand its capabilities in stock, unmolested trim. And that’s precisely what the gang at Horsepower Wars did in the second installment of its “Pony Wars” series that’s pitting a 2017 Mustang vs. a 2017 Camaro. Stage 1: Mustang vs. Camaro Baseline Factory Performance The team first
Q: The culprit is a 1989 GMC 1500 4×4 with a 350, automatic with overdrive, a 3.42 axle, and over 150,000 miles. It has recently developed a powerful thirst for Texas tea, consuming 1 quart every 100 miles. A new PCV valve didn’t fix it, and a valve job only eliminated the smoke at startup.
General Motors will offer the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups with the option for a new four-cylinder turbocharged engine capable of running on two cylinders. The 2.7L I-4 will make 310 horsepower and 348 foot-pounds of torque. It is the first modern-day four-cylinder engine in a full-size pickup and the first with
Mechanically similar, General Motors’ LS and LS-based Vortec engines wound up on almost every branch of the GM family tree: Chevy, Pontiac, GMC, Cadillac, Buick—heck, even Saab, Hummer, and Isuzu got some LS love. Since LS and Vortec engines are so common, they’ve become the go-to performance and swap engines of the modern era. These motors are

Q: Recently, I purchased a 1974 Chevy Impala 4-door. It’s a pretty big car, so I decided to swap the small block 350 with a big block 454. I had a buddy build the 454, and we got a lot of parts from Summit Racing—from the Moroso 7-quart oil pan to the K&N air filter.
The water pump wizards over at Tuff Stuff Performance field a ton of questions about things like pump sizes, flow rates, belt routing, and all sorts of other cooling-related issues.
