Los Angeles Auto Show 2013: Tremorized F-150 FX4

Ford’s camp has been pretty quiet. That shouldn’t really come as a big surprise though, considering they have major revisions for both the F-150 and the Mustang next year. This year though, the most exciting ...

Drag Race: Ferrari F12 vs. Porsche 911 Turbo S vs. SLS AMG Black Series

Super car drag races never get old. They are a pissing match everyone and everything can enjoy… Even the dry floors. Remember the excitement you felt in eighth grade when you got to watch an after-school fight? Drag racing offers that same excitement, without a pair of warring chaps having to suffer black eyes and [...]

Vortech YSI Blown TPI IROC Camaro Goes 10.58 @ 134MPH

There just aren’t enough tastefully modded AND fast third generation F-bodies out there. So when we come across a solid example, it’s worth taking notice, which would explain why when we stumbled onto member NufNuffZ28′s ’87 IROC Camaro we had to give it some coverage. Why?

In addition to the i8′s North American debut, BMW also appropriately used the LA Auto Show to formally introduce the 4 series convertible to the masses of independently-wealthy celebutantes that jam up LA’s freeways. The big news here is that for the first time ever, the 3/4 series convertible will be available with AWD. What [...]

LA Auto Show: Porsche’s 50th Anniversary 911 in the Flesh

My favorite 911 of the show was also probably the slowest one there. Porsche brought their special edition 50th Anniversary Carrera out to LA along with a slew of other cars. It’s not the most ostentatious or intense car in their booth (at all), but it is the classiest one. From a distance, it really [...]

ALG Names Mercedes-Benz Top Luxury Brand for Residual Value

ALG, a leading residual value forecaster for cars and trucks sold in North America, has named Mercedes-Benz the top premium brand for offering vehicles “that are forecast to retain the highest percentage of their Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) after a three-year period.” Mercedes-Benz’s win ends a seven-year streak of top residual value honors going […]
