Corvette Fever, Corvette Thunder

Corvette Fever, Corvette Thunder

Massive shout out to MovieMakerKeith for this awesome tribute to the Chevrolet Corvette.

It's official, we love this car. We've been lucky enough to take a Z06 on 2 cross-country rallies and it ROCKED! The power is insane, the handling is fantastic and if things get slippery, just depress your right foot and accelerate out of trouble!

This is a really great compilation of Corvettes doing what they do best: driving at speed and burning endless amounts of rubber.

Watch for the 1st-thru-5th gear acceleration speedo & tach shots - amazing! 60mph in 1st gear, 120mph in 3rd...and we all know its got an epic top speed.

Chevrolet, we salute you, with Corvette Fever

For huge amounts of burning rubber, exhaust notes and general racing, watch Corvette Thunder

Street Legal Maserati MC12 Corsa

Street Legal Maserati MC12 Corsa

Massive tip of the hat to Frank Uhlig for uploading this drool-worthy video.

Edo Competition got hold of a Street Legal Maserati MC12 Corsa , closed down a road in rural Germany and went to town.

This car is insane! It's 6L V12 has 755 horsepower and 545 lb-ft of torque. With a carbon fiber monocoque, the car weighs around 2500 lbs and it's outfitted with a 6-speed F1 transmission, race suspension and a performance exhaust system you can operate with remote control.

We wish they'd chosen a road with a few more bends in it but you gotta love the aeriel footage, the high speed drive-bys and, best of all, the in-car footage that has you riding shotgun as the trees pass in an ever-faster blur.

For a serious 3-way battle, check out Maserati MC12 vs. McLaren SLR vs. Porsche Carrera GT . Have we died and gone to heaven?!

Sit back and enjoy the Street Legal Maserati MC12 Corsa video.
