Drag Race Mondays: LS9 Powered Z28 Runs 9s

Remember that LS9 Camaro that we featured a while back? Well, here’s another video of it doing what it was built to do. The last one was just it sitting on a dyno. This time it’s putting that power to work. And boy does it work.

BMW Trivia: The Man Who Brought BMW to North America

With some exceptions the lineup of BMW cars available to the public in North America is the same as lineup found in Germany and Europe. It wasn’t always the case that this side of the Atlantic Ocean could drive the products that BMW offered. Do you know the man who changed all that? Do you [...]
