i saw a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

I'm still tingling from this morning's 300 mile cross country-blast in the Corvette ZR1. I didn't go over 140 mph, but Lordy, what a car! Punch the gas and the LS9 bellows like a lion kicked in the balls, delivering a surge of pure, weapons-grade thrust... The massive Michelin Pilot Sport tires grip like leeches, the steering is accurate and nicely weighted, and the huge carbon brakes are simply bulletproof, hauling the ZR1 down from unfeasibly fast velocities time and again without a hint of fuss and fade. This is without doubt the most accomplished Corvette ever; the first that could be considered a true Ferrari rival. I adore it, so much so I can forgive its cheap-looking, made-by-Mattel interior and the faint whiff of Dogtown surf shop when I open the rear hatch.” Says it all, really...

my ultimate fave Audi R8 V-10 I thought the two extra cylinders and 105 extra horses wouldn't be worth the money. I was wrong. The 5.2-liter V-10 amps the R8 experience up into true supercar territory without compromising the 24/7 usability that makes it a genuine alternative to a Porsche 911 Turbo as an everyday driver. Its one weakness? Transmissions. The clackety-clack faux-Ferrari metal gate slows shifts in the regular manual, while the R-tronic single clutch automated manual is outclassed by the newer dual clutch transmissions. But rest of the car is so damned good, complaining about the trannies is a bit like dissing Heidi Klum...

who doesnt like Ford F-150 SVT Raptor?i Do love em Trying to turn pickup trucks into muscle car alternatives never made much sense. Sure, rigs like the GMC Syclone, F-150 Lighting, and Ram SRT-10 were great fun to drive. For about 15 minutes. Then you realized you'd bought a pickup truck that wasn't actually as fast and buttoned down as a proper muscle car, and wasn't much use as a pickup truck. Okay, the F-150 Raptor isn't a real load lugger, either. But it can do something no muscle car, sport sedan or supercar could ever do – charge flat out across desert whoop-de-dos like a genuine Baja racer. This...
