Last week we had our first video showing the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 lapping the famed German Nürburgring and today, we have our first image of the new C7 Z06 badly crashed at the Nürburgring – an accident which was rumored to have happened while General Motors was working on setting a new record time with the “most track capable Corvette ever”.

The Dodge Viper and the Chevrolet Corvette went head to head this past weekend to decide the champion for the 2014 IMSA United SportsCar Championship in the GTLM class and when the 10 hour race at Road Atlanta came to an end – Team Viper had claimed their 6th podium spot in the last 7 races to win both the team and driver’s title.

Even though the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray had a slow month while both the Porsche brand and the Dodge Viper had strong months, the GM sports car still outsold its closest competitors in the US market by a massive margin – even if you combine the sales numbers of the Porsche cars and the Viper.

The Dodge Challenger did something last month that it hasn’t done any time in recent history, beating the Ford Mustang in monthly sales – but the Chevrolet Camaro continued its charge for a 5th straight muscle car sales title by comfortably crushing both the Challenger and Mustang.

The first seemingly official performance numbers for the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 coupe have hit the web and the newest American supercar is capable of hanging with the big boys – offering a 0-60 time of just 2.95 seconds and a quarter mile best of 10.95 at 127 miles per hour.

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is billed by General Motors as the most track capable Corvette of all time so it should come as no surprise that the automaker is putting the new super Vette through the paces at the world’s most grueling road course – and today we have video of the 2016 Z06 testing on the German Nürburgring.

The unique Valet Mode of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette lineup which uses the an in-car microphone and video camera to capture what goes on with the car when the owner is not around is a super-cool feature that no automaker has offered in the past – possibly because it is illegal in some places.

2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 and ZL1 are like typical siblings. They look alike to outsiders, but those in the family see only the differences.

The configurator page for the 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z06 is now live on Chevrtolet.com, giving us our best chance yet to see the new American supercar in full detail, including all of the wheel, color and trimline feature information – but all without the pricing.

The folks at Motor Trend have compiled their list of the best driver’s cars for 2014 and after putting 10 performance models head to head, the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was chosen as the best of the bunch – beating a collection of cars that vary from the Ford Fiesta ST to the Porsche 911 Turbo S to the BMW i8.

“Electric car” and “fire” are words that EV advocates hate to see in the same sentence. But in the case of a Chevrolet Volt fire last month, the cause was a component found in every vehicle on the road today.

German tuning company GeigerCars has made a name for itself by developing unique packages for European-sold American vehicles and their take on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is just the latest in impressive custom packages – turning the basic C7 Stingray into a supercar that will keep up with the best across Europe.

Over the past few months we have looked at quite a few renderings of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro with some being outlandish and some being just plain gross, but the artwork we are featuring today of the 6th generation Camaro could prove to be very realistic based on what we have seen and heard over the past year or so – with a look that is an evolution of current models.

Just like the first 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and the first 2015 Corvette Z06, the first production example of the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray – which is the first retail unit ever with the new 8-speed automatic transmission – will head to the Barrett Jackson auction block to raise money for charity.

General Motors' Holden brand in Australia has just announced that their new GTS Maloo will be the fastest and most powerful "ute" in the world thanks to a power plant borrowed from the mighty Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

The folks at Car & Driver have recently released the results for their 2014 Lightning Lap in the October issue and the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 turned in one of the most impressive times – beating the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a long list of very expensive, very respected sports cars from around the world.

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has received some changes that should help it further dominate the premium sports car segment, but a “stop delivery order” issued by General Motors will prevent buyers from picking up their 2015 model year Stingray until a few issues are addressed – further emphasizing GM’s push for improved safety and overall quality.

Last month we talked about the possibilities of a C8 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 sporting a mid-engine design and the Zora name and today, more information has surfaced – suggesting that the mid-engine Zora ZR1 Corvette is indeed on its way and it might be coming for the 2017 model year.

The information for the 2015 Ford Mustang, 2015 Dodge Challenger and 2015 Chevrolet Camaro is pretty much all available and while the world is focused on the higher performance models, I thought that this would be a good time to compare the most affordable versions of the three American muscle cars – in their entry level, V6 forms.

Later last night I saw what I believe to be a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS near the General Motors Proving Grounds and when the driver climbed into the throttle as he or she sped away, it sounded pretty healthy – very much like the C7 Corvette Stingray which pulled out behind it and quickly climbed to speed as well.

The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has quickly become one of the bestselling sports cars in the world, but the long term test vehicle belonging to the folks from Car & Driver blew an engine just 6,000 miles in – and the problem is one that could affect other C7 Corvette owners under very normal driving conditions.

While General Motors hasn’t had much (or anything) to say about the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, we can make guesses as to what we will see when the 6th gen F Body arrives by looking at the features of the current Corvette – including the new 8-speed automatic transmission that will make the Camaro quicker and more efficient.

Over the past few months, Corvette fans have been flocking to Bowling Green Kentucky to see the eight historic models damaged during the sinkhole collapse before those cars were shipped back to GM for repairs, but after careful consideration, it has been decided that only 3 of the 8 cars will be repaired and sadly, the sinkhole exhibit in the Skydome will be sealed up.

In the past few days, the image above of what many believe is the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro has been circulating around the internet and while most people are passing it off as just another rendering, some people are reposting it as being an actual image of the 6th gen Camaro and sadly…those people are very wrong.

GM's fuel economy announcement makes it official. The Toyota Tacoma has fallen behind in the compact truck market's new battleground.

I have crunched the numbers for August 2014 sales and although Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sales dipped a bit last month, GM still sold enough C7 Corvettes to both crush the Dodge Viper and outsell the entire lineup of Porsche cars – making the Stingray once again the bestselling premium sports car sold in the USA.

The Nissan LEAF and Chevrolet Volt have been duking it out for the title of best-selling plug-in since their nearly simultaneous debuts. The LEAF has recently claimed dominance, but both had a great month of August.

Sales numbers for August 2014 are in and for the 5th month in a row, the Chevrolet Camaro has bested the Dodge Challenger and the Ford Mustang – making it the bestselling sports car in the US and helping the Camaro to continue to build its lead in an effort to win a 5th straight sports car sales title.
