Let’s talk about Camaro power-to-weight ratios, by way of introduction to today’s Junkyard Gem. The most underpowered Camaro ever sold was the 1975 base model, with a 105-horsepower straight-six giving this 3,421-pound car 33.71 pounds per tortured horse. By that standard, today’s 1984 Camaro wasn’t quite as bad, with each horse responsible for a mere […]
These are grim times for car sales in the United States as crossovers, SUVs and pickups command the attention of buyers, and now a report from the Wall Street Journal suggests that General Motors and Ford are both planning to axe slow-selling nameplates from their lineups. The report suggests that Chevrolet will end production of […]
We saw a junkified Ford P71 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor in Colorado last month, so it’s only fair that we take a look at the P71’s only serious rear-wheel-drive competition during the 1990s: the Chevrolet 9C1 Caprice Classic.

Seven pages of fiddling and tweaking can get you out the door in the low-ish six figures with a great gentleman’s GT, or you can give that left mouse button a workout and spend a Camaro on options.

– From the March 2018 issue – Chevy didn’t trademark the name “Suburban” when it introduced the industry’s first steel-bodied, eight-passenger truck-based wagon back in 1935. Other marques subsequently used the term, and it didn’t officially become GM’s until 10 years after Plymouth discontinued its Suburban station wagon in 1978. Now, 83 years on, the […]
– Hyundai has released a cryptic first teaser image of the Kona Electric, the brand’s second all-electric vehicle to be sold in the United States (after the Ioniq) and one that could offer a longer range than the Chevrolet Bolt EV’s EPA-rated 238 miles. – In a European press release ahead of the Geneva auto show—where […]
– Sporting a hearty 415-hp V-8 and rear-wheel drive, the Chevrolet SS harks back to the big-sedan, big-power formula of yesteryear. Its red-blooded American image led Chevrolet to make it the company’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series entrant from 2013 through the end of the 2017 season. (The Camaro replaces it for 2018.)
