At the Chevy booth this year we find something that I find unique and cool compared to so many ridiculous v8 protouring cars. This Nova is equipped with a LTG 2.0l ecotec 4 cylinder turbocharged motor. Making 272hp and 295 ft lbs of torque (at 3k rpm no less) running through a 6 speed transmission. 17″ wheels keep it understated and tasteful and a monochromatic none-more-black paint scheme gives it a sinister air. The only shame is that the msrp on this caddy-powered Nova is nine thousand dollars for the engine alone. Nothing that could keep you from finding a wrecked solstice or skyline and making a similar build a much lower buy in though.

The Roadster Shop’s 1964 Chevelle ‘MaliciouSS’
People love the look of old cars, but one thing they don’t love is the handling. While muscle cars like the Chevelle were big on power, their handling and braking are vastly outperformed by today’s modern cars. Upgrading these components can do a lot to improve the driveability and safety of a classic car.
There is a distinction between bolting on some parts from a catalog and making them yourself. With this 1964 Chevelle, they chose the latter.
1988 Lincoln Town Car Convertible.. if it’s worth doing it’s worth overdoing
I’m pretty open to a lot of things in the automotive world and very rarely, if ever, would I suggest 28 inch wheels to improve the look of a car.. but I think this is one of those cases. Ā Actually, this is the first time that thought has ever popped into my head but with as outlandish as this car looks I would highly recommend it.
