1976 Vega GT, 454/4speed I bought this car about 2 months ago with the intention to drive it back
and forth to work. When I bought it the guy told me how nice it was but I didn't realize it was going to be this
nice. This is a beautiful car, the attention to detail is insane, every piece of the car is perfect from the dome
light to the door buzzer, everything is perfect. I can't own this car, it's too nice! The guy took a really nice
California rust free car that has been completely restored, every piece has been rebuilt or replaced. The body
absolutely has no bondo in it and it is laser straight the color is the original with a high quality paint job. The
interior is Monza spider that has been perfectly restored with tilt wheel and a tasteful custom dash that is really
impressive. The engine is a 454 with a Crane roller cam, crane roller rocker arms, with stud girdle, titanium
retainers, 750 Dominator Holley, team G intake, all msd ignition, large tube headers that fit really well. The car
fires right up, it sounds really good, its not crazy loud it has a nice rumble I would guess it to be in the 475hp
range not radical but definitely all there. As you can imagine with a big block in a vega its really fun to drive
really doesn't hook up that well even with posi track, but to me that is part of the fun. Taking off from a
stoplight it wants to boil the tires. It has 3.08 gears so it runs down the road really well at 70, its a really
nice driving car has sway bars front and back. This guy has had a lot of vega's so he really knew what he was
doing. The car is just like you ordered it from the factory in 1976 with a 454/4speed option, how cool is that!
Show room nice, easily show car nice!

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
