The ls1 powered 2002 trans am Ws6 was in my opinion one of the better looking if not the best looking trans am that GM had ever produced but me personaly i like all of the F body camaros and trans ams produced between 1999-2002 i dont know why to me i think it's just because of how fast they can get and all the things that you can
Do with them to make them your own style and the aluminum block ls1 powering these trans ams made them even better because with the good looks of the F Body combined with the roar of an all American v8 gave the car a reputation to be feared on the streets because the F body trans am had no problem planting their horspower to the ground to hook and get off the line in a hurry because when you have 325 hp and you let out of the clutch on the 6 speed standard transmission you may spin for a little bit but when it catches grip the mustang That you are racing wont stand any chance this is one of the best looking best performing trans ams that has ever been made by GM and it is also the last body style of trans am that will ever be made because Pontiac has been discontinued so get one before they become real collectors items because one day they will be one

The c7 corvettes 2014 stingray and 2015 zo6
This weeks blog will be about the 2014 corvette stingray that has 455 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque this puts the c7 stingray corvettes torque rating over the Porsche 911(which has 325 lb-ft of torque) and the Ferrari 458 (398 lb-ft of torque). The 2014 corvette stingray accelerates from 0-60 in under 3.8 seconds. The new additions to the corvette other than the 6.2 liter LT1,7 speed manual transmission with rev match and the new body styling is the direct injection, active fuel management , and variable valve timing making it the most fuel efficient corvette to date with an EPA estimated 17 mpg city / 29 mpg highway. In 2015 they will be releasing the c7 zo6 that will push the corvette models into supercar territory pushing at least 618 hp and 629 lb-ft of torque.
the 2014 cadillac cts-v lineup
The cadillac cts-v is the fastest family of production cars in the world with a 556 HP 551 lb-ft supercharged LSA the cts-v sedan can go from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds which is Verry fast for a car that weighs 4200 lbs. The cts-v crosses the boundary between high performance muscle car and a high class luxury sedan. The 2014 cts-v sedan doesn't only have great straight line performance it also handles Verry well for such a heavy car. With its magnetic ride control and the stabilitrac stability control system that it has paired with its large brembo 6 piston brakes gives the cts-v amazing handling and braking. Cadillac has also just launched the 2014 Cadillac cts-v wagon which is almost the same car besides the fact that instead of seating four you can seat the whole family. In 2009 Cadillac launched the Cadillac cts-v coupe a lighter faster version of the cts-v that put out faster 0-60 times and weighed a few hundred pounds less.

The Hennessey venom gt
This weeks blog will be about the fastest production car in the world made in Houston Texas by Hennessey performance. It is the hennessey venom gt a 1244 horsepower monster tearing up the roads with a top speed of 275+ mph. It holds the Guinness world record in 2013 for quickest accelerating hypercar with a time of 0-300 kph (About 187.5 mph) in 13.63 seconds.The exceedingly fast venom gt also goes 0-200 mph in 14.51 seconds the venom gt has also set another unofficial record on Valentine's day 2014 they went to the john f. Kennedy space center and got the insanely fast venom gt up to 270.49 mph.
Along with its fast speeds and amazing acceleration it also has amazing looks with a lotus exige body stretched just long enough to fit a 427 cubic inch twin turbo corvette engine That makes 1,244 hp. Personaly I like this car because it is a true american supercar That competes with and exceeds its European counterparts such as the Bugatti Veyron super sport,koenigsegg agera and the Pagani huayra.

The 2004 - 2006 gto
In 2004 gm decided that it was time to return with the original muscle car the gto. They knew it had to be fast so they threw an all aluminum 350 horspower 5.7 litre v8 ls1 like they had put in the 1999-2002 camaros before. To go behind this 350 hp beast the buyer had the option of two transmissions the 4L60E 4 speed automatic or the T56 six speed standard transmission to transfer all that horsepower to the back wheels. They knew it would have to be aerodynamic so they made it sit low to the ground and gave it a sleek smooth roofline so the wind would just flow over the top of the car. The reason behind the power and aerodynamics is that the car needs all the help it can get because the car weighs 4,200 lbs. Despite the weight the car it is remarkably fast with a top speed of 162 mph as it is limited from the factory to not go above that speed but if the factory limiter is removed then it should be able to go much faster than that. The 2005-2006 models werent much of a change except for the engine upgrade from the 350 hp 5.7 litre ls1 to the 400 hp 6.0 litre ls2. Personally i love this model of gto but not all people have the same opinions that I do but whatever your veiws of the car there is no denying that it is a fast car for how much it weighs. Just like the outside the inside of the gto is amazingly comfortable for a sports car the four bucket seats that comfortably fit a person 6 feet tall. The gto is a true American muscle car that you can comfortably fit your family in unlike the corvette of course it's not as fast as the corvette but it's worth what you pay for because a corvette will cost you a good 10 to 20,000 more. Here are some pictures of my 2004 gto that makes 385 hp at the rear tires.
