Awesome Chevrolet

We recently headed to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with Chevrolet for a day at their Find New Roads Experience. Along the way, we hit the agility course in the new Colorado ZR2, launched a Camaro ZL1, and did a bucket-list lap of the speedway in a Corvette Grand Sport.

Chevy will launch this sexy trim series across nearly its entire product line. Silverado 1500, Colorado, Camaro, Cruze Sedan and Hatch, Traverse, Equinox, Trax, and Malibu will all offer the black and red hashed wheels, black grilles, and red accented logos, among other things.

The new performance variant of Chevy’s mid-size pickup gains 2″ of suspension lift, steel rocker protectors, Multimatic shocks, 17×8 wheels with 31-inch off-road tires, and front and rear locking diffs. Comes with either a 308 hp V6, or a 181 hp diesel with 369 lb-ft. of torque.

GM and the US Army created this badass concept truck for military operations. The 6.5 ft. tall truck runs quietly thanks to a hydrogen-electric 4WD drivetrain, its power pack can be removed to power field operations, and can produce clean drinking water as a by-product.

Chevy’s compact EV offers an impressive range of 238 miles, a 0-to-60 time under 7 seconds, and sporty, modern looks. It’s packed with tech like a 10.2″ touchscreen, an electronic rear-view mirror, surround-view cameras, and quick charge ability to get you 90 miles in 30 minutes.

ICON founder Jonathan Ward showcases one of his company’s most oddball builds yet. It’s a Chevrolet Caprice that used to be cop car. The owner wanted it to be “under the radar but intimidating” and is filled with gadgets and travel gear.

Simply the best Corvette yet. It’s got a 460hp 6.2L V8 with a dry-sump oil system, bigger aero, and grippier tires for amazing cornering. With the Z07 package, it does 0-60 in 3.6s, brakes 60-0 in <100ft, and 1.2g lateral acceleration. Check out our first drive review on 95octane.

Chevy takes their latest Camaro to the next level, with this track-ready beast that packs a 640hp supercharged V8, aero enhancements, massive Brembo brakes, Magnetic Ride suspension, and either a 6-speed manual or a quick-shifting new 10-speed automatic.

The all new drop-top Camaro drives better than ever, with coupe-like handling thanks to its stiff chassis, reduced weight, and sporty steering. Optional Magnetic Ride Control dynamically adjusts the suspension to every driving condition. Read our review on 95octane.

Chevrolet put us behind the wheel of the awesome 415hp V8 2016 SS sports sedan, for an epic 1300+ mile road trip to see the Daytona 500. We time-lapsed the 19+ hour drive down to 5 minutes. The car was fast and comfy, and its new dual-mode exhaust sounded amazing.

“Are you ready?” “I got some stuff to do.” Jerry Seinfeld had coffee with U.S. President Obama. They talked about Larry David’s sunscreen, crazy world leaders, the value of cursing and more, as they tool around in a 1963 Corvette Sting Ray. Unofficial mirror here.

To celebrate his hometown pride, designer Tommey Walker created his Detroit vs. Everybody clothing line. Now, he’s back with a special variant just for Chevy fans. Having recently driven the 2016 Camaro SS, we’re going to guess that it would win that fight.

As part of its 48-state road trip, Chevrolet put us behind the wheel of the new 2016 Camaro SS, packing a 455 hp V8, and a 6-speed manual, and let us loose on Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. The scenery was epic, and the car equally impressive – even in the snow and rain.

The most stealthily powerful Chevy ever gets an updated front end with LED accent lighting, functional hood vents, and dual-mode sports exhaust. The most important bit remains unchanged – a 6.2L LS3 V8 that pushes out 415 hp and 415 lb-ft. of torque to its rear wheels.

Chevrolet set us up with the awe-inspiring 2015 Corvette Stingray Z51 then let us loose on the road to baseball’s All-Star Game in Cincinnati. We decided to take the opportunity to remake a classic 1970’s Chevy commercial.

The gen-6 Camaro builds on what made the current model great, then shaves 200lbs. New engines – a 2.0L turbo 4, a 3.6L V6, and the 6.2L LT1 V8 from the ‘Vette, and available Magnetic Ride Control should help it drive like a dream.

This time-lapse video from Hagerty Classic Cars celebrates the Chevy small-block V8, one of the greatest and most versatile engines ever made. With the help of Thirlby Automotive, they rip one down, then rebuild it like new. (Thanks Justin!)

Unlike previously unveiled Gran Turismo 6 concept cars, the Chevrolet Chaparral 2X VGT is as fictional as it gets. It’s powered by a non-existent laser-based engine and is worn like a wingsuit, with the driver lying on his belly.

The drop-top Corvette Z06 is equipped with the same aluminum frame as the coupe. It also has the same 625hp supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, brakes, suspension, transmission, wheels and tires. In other words, hold on to your hair.

The track-optimized Z06 amps up the already awesome Stingray, bestowing it with a 625hp, supercharged LT4 6.2-liter V8 engine, and tons of body mods to increase downforce. See our picture gallery on 95Octane.

Based on the Chevy 3100 Thriftmaster, this 2-door pickup truck marries old school looks with modern amenities, including a 5.3L V8 engine that produces 435hp and 458lb.ft. of torque, touchscreen dash and even a Wi-Fi router.

Hot Wheels wrapped a Camaro in reflective and glow-in-the-dark vinyl, fulfilling both boyhood and adult car fantasies at the same time. They really should mount some black lights on it for maximum effect.

The name synonymous with 1970s and 80s American sports cars, the new track-ready Z/28 has a massive LS7 7.0L V8, with 500HP and 470lb-ft of torque. Chevy trimmed out all of the extraneous bits, cutting 300lbs. off of the ZL1.
