With folks buying as many C8 Corvettes as Chevy can crank out, should GM also build a mid-engine Cadillac two-seater wearing a V Series badge. Looking back a decade or so ago, you may recall the Cadillac XLR and XLR-V, some terrific two-seat...

April 27th, 2022 Chris Phillip
The Chevrolet Super Sport badge is legendary. Chevelle SS. Impala SS. Camaro SS. Even Chevrolet SS (for fans of the rebadged Pontiac G8!) Now, the next Chevy to wear an SS badge will be electric. The Blazer SS will enter production next year and will likely come to market with more horsepower than Ford's Mach E GT with 480 horsepower.

Why Isn't Dodge Racing in NASCAR?
April 10th, 2022 Chris Phillip
Anybody notice there's no MOPAR race cars in NASCAR?
