Springs Golf Course. This little show has bragging rights that many other shows do not, in this case one of two brand new 2014 Corvette
C7s in the country!
A great little show, easily contained on the fairway with vendors off to the side, it could be considered perfect sized. Not overwhelming,
and excellent variety of both new and older cars. Gorgeous examples include a Ferrari F12, Jaguar F-type, McLaren 12C Spider, Porsche
959, Tesla Model S, a Tucker!, Rolls Royces, a Hemi Challenger and numerous other classics, vintage race cars, finned domestics, and
more. Each vehicle had a very nice placard in front of it describing it.
Superbly organized with many volunteers, traffic and parking were managed extremely well. There was plenty of shade and being held
on a golf course, it was cooler and more comfortable for walking around. Vendors were off to the sides and there was interesting survey
by Eugene Bowers of an upcoming clothing line called Fuel & Fire. One nice surprise after the show was the program was heavy with
color photographs.
Check out the website for all the highlights of the show including other great featured vehicles such as a 1935 Duesenberg SJ
Convertible Coupe, some great Aston Martins, fabulous 1957s, 50 years of the Porsche 911 and more. Be sure to click through the
slideshow to see a sampling of the great cars and don’t miss this it next year. http://www.hillsboroughconcours.org/index.php

Sixth generation Camaro V6 review

Chevrolet updated the chassis of the Camaro for 2016 with the new Alpha platform and by all accounts the approximately 250 to 300lb weight reduction was a huge improvement. Despite having a brilliant chassis and three powerful engine choices, the interior and outward visibility hardly improved at all. I wanted to like this car, I really did. It has some really good aspects but overall it’s only good for going in a straight line, not reverse or backing up out of any parking space, on public roads or modified into a track-only car.  You decide if the interior justifies a $29,000 MSRP. The 2017 model is essentially the same. The 335hp V-6 is a great engine, responsive, sounds good and with the quick shifting 8 speed automatic, the car is capable of mid-high 13 second quarter mile ETs. It feels every bit as quick as the numbers suggest. It has no appreciable dead spots and has an excellent pull. The 8 speed auto is finicky on the highway though, downshifting at the slightest provocatio...

BMW M760LI xDrive quick review

2017 BMW M760LI XDRIVE – LUXURY ON OVER-DRIVE Originally published on the new performance oriented website, Fuelcurve.com:  https://fuelcurve.com/2017-bmw-m760li-xdrive-luxury-over-drive-review/ Seeing a factory matte finish BMW raises the eyebrows. Strolling nonchalantly toward it, spotting the V-12 emblem puts a pause in your pace. Then reading the back emblem and seeing “M760i” denoting BMW’s 601hp technological tour-de-force definitely raises both eyebrows. Who knew a 2017 model year V-12, twin turbo sedan was available anywhere for nearly $172,000. This is a CEO car. It’s for the business owner who, nicely put, gives zero cares about what anyone thinks about his or her 16mpg highway Q-ship. They worked hard, employ many, and get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Or maybe wants something that is extremely modern, smooth and quiet and not care where the charging station may or may not be. Start-up and driving is like any other car in the basic sense. But extra attention is giv...

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS review and test drive

The 2015 Porsche Caymen GTS is the now the best all-around sports car under one hundred thousand dollars, replacing the prior title holder, the Porsche Caymen S. Take everything the prior S model is, add horsepower and a more track and driver oriented, visceral demeanor while retaining streetability, and that is the GTS. Besides horsepower, it adds a new body kit, a sport exhaust system, 20” wheels and a lower ride height versus the S. Conveying the balanced perfection of a Cayman isn’t easy unless it’s driven. The latest generation gives it a more exotic, grown-up look. Inside, the familiar ideal seating position with excellent outward visibility. Every surface visually sculpted, everything that is touched has an engineered quality with logic of the controls. For performance driving or track days it has a lower ride height, among the lowest center of gravity among production cars, and an engine placed where it’s supposed to be, right behind you. The sport exhaust reminds the driver th...
