The Best American Sports Car Ever Made

chevrolet corvette Full Overview

Pros

  • All-time great naturally aspirated engine
  • PDK-equivalent transmission
  • World-class handling

 

Cons

  • Doesn’t burble
  • Can’t see the engine on convertible models
  • Squircle steering wheel isn’t for everyone

How can we say this so definitively? What about the Ford GT, you might ask? What about the Dodge Viper ACR? We’ve driven them, tested them with our instrumentation, and we’ve tracked them, and they’re both great cars. Each is a Le Mans winner in its own right (though Corvette Racing has more wins than the two of them combined). The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is better.

Indian: the original American motorcycle brand – News

Posted on By admin

Ask a child to draw a motorcycle and chances are it’ll look like an American-style cruiser. Ask any Kiwi who our most famous motorcylist is, and there is but one name: Burt Munro aboard his 1920 Indian Scout.

One hundred and seventy-seven mph. That was Jeremy McWilliams’ top speed as he fired up the banking at the Daytona on his way to taking the top spot at the King of the Baggers. A few seconds quicker and that great big piece of American muscle would be fast enough to qualify for a spot in the proper superbike races of AMA.

Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse review: Grand American touring

Posted on By admin

A motorcycle with a befitting name, one that chews miles effortlessly while tackling the Indian highway system with ease.

The time is 06:00AM. The sun is just about beginning to rise from behind the horizon. There’s a nip in the air that’s unusual for the time of the year. I’m seated on the super-plush seat of the Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse, as its massive 1,890cc V-twin chugs at a relaxed pace. The deep burbles from the twin-exhausts intermix with Coldplay’s riveting music playing through the quad speakers of the 200W music system. I’m not sure about the American Dream, but
