Hennessey's 2013 Camaro ZL1 HPE700 Dyno'd and Track Tested

As fast as the regular Camaro ZL1 may be (actually, it's the fastest and most powerful series-production Camaro ever built), there's one company that believers there's always room for improvement: Hennessey Performance.

New GM App Shows Chevy Volt Owners the Real Cost of Charging Their Hybrid at Home

Plug-in hybrid vehicles claim to be much more fuel efficient, and thus cheaper to run, than regular models powered only by international combustion engines.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch, though; in the case of plug-in hybrids, you have to factor in the energy consumed to charge the battery at your home, which adds to the electricity bill.

General Motors’ OnStar service is currently testing an application that will inform Chevrolet Volt owners about the cost of charging their extended-range plug-in hybrid.

GM Bids Farewell to the Three Across Front Bench Seat with the Chevrolet Impala [w/Video]

The current Chevrolet Impala is the last passenger car still in production in North America to offer a front bench with three-across seating. This will end soon since the brand-new 2014 model year Impala won’t be available with this option.

The front bench was abandoned by almost every carmaker a long time ago. Even the bow-tie brand itself admitted that it was far from popular with Impala buyers, as only one out of 10 ticked the box for this low-cost (US$195) option on the LS and LT trim levels.

Tuned Corvette Z06's Drifty Burnout Almost Turns Sour [NSFW]

There's nothing wrong with getting excited about your freshly updated ride, especially if said car happens to be a badass looking and sounding Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C6, but you shouldn't let your guard down either.

In this video, we have the driver of a murdered-out Z06 with Texas license plates receiving his car after what we assume to be an aftermarket upgrade.

As the young man gets ready to enter the 'Vette, the person behind the camera politely asks him how much the rims cost, only to receive the answer..."Too much".

2014 Corvette C7 Prototypes Pictured and Filmed in New Mexico

One of the most sought after prototype vehicles of the year has been photographed and filmed, not by professional spy shooters, but by a reader and a YouTube user respectively, both in the same place in Red River, a resort town in Taos County, New Mexico, over the weekend.

The photos come to us courtesy of a Jalopnik reader who spotted a large fleet of General Motors' sports cars consisting of five Camaro ZL1s, all current versions of the Corvette C6 including the base model, the Z06 and the flagship ZR1, plus eight covered models that are believed to be prototypes of the next Corvette C7.

Now That's Going to Leave Some Skid Marks…

Sure motorcycle wheelies can be fun to watch but it's far more entertaining and rare to see a car lifting its two front wheels up in the air, which is what happened at a recent "Holley LS Fest", an event that celebrates anything powered by General Motors' LS V8 engine.

A specially modded and obviously, very powerful, fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro gave the spectators something to talk about at the event when it took off on the strip heading towards the sky not once but twice, fortunately, without anyone getting hurt.
