American V8 VS. British V8 [VIDEO]


So here's what we have on paper: the Jaguar F-Type has a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 producing 495 hp but it's a little bit heavier because it's a convertible and because it carries more tech gadgets. The Corvette C6 with its 6.2-liter LS3 V8 producing 430 hp is slightly less powerful but it's lighter. Video after the jump.

Pick of The Day: 1959 Corvette by RK Motors


Chevy LS9 power with a 1959 Corvette body, perfect combination? This flint metallic grey Vette prepared by RK Motors was sold for $209k and we think it's pretty good value for such a unique car. Power comes from the Chevy LS7 V8 engine producing 600 Hp. The beast sends its power to the rear wheels through an RPM Transmissions-built Tremec T56 six-speed manual. In other words, a proper driver's car.

If you'd like to learn all the details about this fantastic classic Vette, drop by RK Motors where you can find the full high res photo gallery and the full details about this fantastic build.

Nice View!



Sorry for not posting for so long but i had to replace that wrecked F40 in the front page by something nicer...
What about three F40's and an F50 as a bonus? Not so sure what the black F430 is doing in this wonderful shot though...
