American Racing in Poland

WASyl takes us to Poland so that we can appreciate some American muscle!

Who knew the General and his cohorts were so popular in this former Soviet Bloc country? Seems petrolheads the world over like nothing better than gathering together, setting up some cones for a makeshift drag strip and letting the games begin.

But while you might expect there to be a collection of Euro-badged cars in this video, these guys are all about horsepower that comes from the US of A. Ride along as they convoy on the freeway and watch them go head-to-head at the drag as the lights go to green and the action heats up.

VIDEO: 1967 Corvette Test Drive

Brought to you by: buyavettedotnet

The great staff from Atlanta based American Sportscar Center Productions uploaded a nice clip on a 1967 Corvette. The owners of American Sportscar Center look all over the Southeast for Corvettes that have been well maintained and this one is a beauty.

A bit of GM design history: The C2 was a product of the William Mitchell era at GM. Where aviation themes had dominated design during Harley Earl's, the father of auto design and the Chevrolet Corvette, years at GM, Mitchell was more into European design which included fewer fins, less chrome, and a tighter body.

What you'll see: A vintage 1967 C2 Corvette Sting Ray four-speed with a 350 horse version of the 327. Check out the distinctive side exhaust and sound. She also came with factory air and power steering which was not standard at that time. This car is in almost mint condition inside and out. The few blemishes she carries are pointed out and then you go on a test drive. About 5:30 into the video you get a nice shot of the car on the road.

SPOTTED: New Camaro Prototype

Brought to you by KingKnight.

Camaro mules are being tested around the country. This one was caught on video and because we know everyone is 'past' ready for the new Camaro to show up on car lots, here is at least a vicarious ride. How GM will market this car is still being tossed about on forums. While the V-8 is sure to get the car noticed as a muscle car, the auto maker may instead go for marketing the more fuel efficient V-6 and also offer a four cylinder version. There has been so much talk and not enough driving action, so without further ado, the Fifth Generation Camaro Mule.

The iconic 427 Shelby Cobra

Brought to you by: Mugz.

Building "the" fastest sports car was a dream of Caroll Shelby. The reality of his dream produced one of the most coveted cars ever: The 427 AC Cobra.

The history of Shelby and AC, a British Sports car maker, joining together to produce the Cobra is not breaking news. AC shipped engineless cars with an aluminum body on a tubular frame to Shelby in the US and Ford supplied 289 V-8 engines. After giving the 289 a stronger chassis to withstand the amount of torque supplied by Ford's V-8 and putting the car through at least 100 tests, the Cobra, a name that came to Shelby in his sleep, became reality.

Modifications were made to the 289 in 1965 and the 427 became another Shelby reality. With more changes to the 289, the 427 (485 bhp engine) is a monster of a roadster: macho and powerful with upgrades to the transmission, suspension and chassis. The Cobra achieves 0-60 in approximately 4.2 seconds and has an estimated top speed of around 163 mph.

With only a small number of 427's produced, the bidding can be high for enthusiasts/collectors. But the adventure of researching, finding, and buying a 427 sounds like a lot of fun. Make sure you check the chassis number if you can find it and then check it out on the Shelby Web Site.

Supercharged Chevrolet C6 Corvette

You've given her the green flag, "but" are you sure you're ready to "try"
and tame this baby? No need for java this morning. Go ahead crank this
supercharged C6 up and go through a few gear changes. 920 hp? Sounds like
920 cp (Cheetah) and don't put in "Tender is the Night" instead
you'll want to crank up "Born to be Wild" and these aren't just words on a
page -- ingest them while going for a ride with these brave souls. We
suggest watching more than once to get the full java jolt.
