One of the most personal things a rally driver will do on a Special Stage is use the handbrake. It helps rotate a car around a tight corner. Some swear by it. Others avoid it like the plague. Still, when they need it, where do they place it in the cockpit?

Ever wondered why your car feels faster on a cold morning than it does on a hot afternoon? The answer is air temperature: cooler, denser air packs more oxygen into the combustion chamber]]>Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:04:34 -0400http://www.motorator.com/videos/1213http://www.motorator.com/videos/1213

The Ford AOD transmission has proven itself as a reliable performer with factory and mildly upgraded performance applications. However, a few upgrades are necessary if you’re looking to move it into the high performance level. To help drivers achieve those high performance numbers, the drivetrain experts at TCI® have introduced the 1980-’93 Ford AOD Ultimate Master Overhaul Kit]]>Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:41:56 -0500http://www.motorator.com/questions/200http://www.motorator.com/questions/200Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:33:42 -0500http://www.motorator.com/questions/199http://www.motorator.com/questions/199I've had issues with my car not having a smooth ride, but the problem exacerbated after I installed new rims. I first went to a firestone store to give me a quote for an entire suspension change (struts, shocks etc.) - It was costing me around $1000 for all four wheels. But then I had a discussion with a local mechanic who said that my rims could be a problem. He said that the custom wheels do not give, specially if they are designed for racing. The thing is that I really like my (black) wheels, but I am not sure what next step should I take. I don't even know where the problem is. The car rattles a lot and I could really feel every bump (loud bang) as if there are no tires on the car. Could the wheels or the tires be an issue? And not the suspension? Could you give me some advice on how to go about solving this. Whom should I go to?

Back in 1967, Felix Lopez bought a 1967 Chevrolet RS/SS Camaro from Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago, featuring a high-performance 427 with a 4-speed and 3 2-barrel carbs. Amazingly, he still owns and shows the car today. What's perhaps more amazing is that Lopez served an 8-year tour in the Viet Nam War, making him and his Nickey Camaro great examples of what we call "Survivors."]]>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:48:37 -0500http://www.motorator.com/blog/gm/2011-corvette-z06-carbonhttp://www.motorator.com/blog/gm/2011-corvette-z06-carbon

When the 2006 Corvette Z06 was introduced, it represented the closest connection to the Corvette race cars ever. The Corvette ZR1 closed the gap between racing and production even further. This year, Corvette continues its tradition of track-to-street technology transfer with the 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition]]>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:53:32 -0500http://www.motorator.com/videos/1211http://www.motorator.com/videos/1211
