2010 Chevy Equinox Makes the Grade
General Motors does this thing where every branch of the company shares a common platform and puts out pretty similar vehicles. Sometimes this is a strength – because customers are irrational and some of them just don’t like Chevy, but they liked the same car when it was made by Pontiac or Buick. Sometimes, though, [...]
2010 Camaro SS – Beauty and the Beast in One Package
I am predisposed to like the 2010 Camaro. After all, I raced a 1976 Camaro LT around the speedways of the Pacific Northwest for nigh on a decade in the 1990s. The 2010 version of Chevy’s classic pony car has little (if any) real connection to my old race car, but they do share the [...]
2011 Corvette Z06 “Carbon” Revealed
We took a trip to Detroit last week to tour the Pratt & Miller Corvette Racing facility and see the new C6.R being built for the GT2 class at this year’s Le Mans – but at the end of the tour, along with a sumptuous lunch, we got a special treat: the 2011 Corvette Z06 [...]
Pony Wars – We Rank the Retros
There are a few basic truths in the automotive enthusiast world. The first is that everyone likes engine power. We may praise our Miatas as momentum and handling cars, we may describe our Mini Coopers as comfortable, fun and rated highly in Grins Per Gallon, but there’s something special about a big gnarly V8 and [...]
Aftermarket 2010 Chevy Camaro Rally Stripes
If you’re a real Camaro fan, you need to be sporting rally stripes. They add a little extra awesome to every car. Around the Driving Sports office, near Microsoft, there seem to be a lot of new Camaros running around and I’ll be dashed if I’ve only seen one with rally stripes. It’s a shame. [...]
Formula D Seattle 2009
In its fourth year coming to the greater Seattle area, Formula D returned stronger and more exciting than ever this past Saturday, August 8th. I’ve been covering Formula D for Subiesport/DrivingSports each year it’s come to Seattle, and I honestly do believe it gets better and better every year. In past years, I’ve endured scorching [...]
Big Three Bet on Muscle as GM Emerges from Bankruptcy
The New York Times reported last week that GM’s new hot rod Camaro is a big hit in its first month on the market. GM dealers have been selling out of the retro-musclemobile and the company has only a six day supply of Camaros in hand right now. And then Chrysler announced today that the [...]

NASCAR’s woes for 09
It’s not our favorite sport here at DSTV, but we can only imagine there is some hand-wringing for fans of NASCAR. It’s biggest sponsors are the same three companies that were recently begging for cash to stay afloat. Naturally, that means the 2009 sponsorships are getting slashed–big time. [NY Times]
