 Throughout the Formula 1 season, engineers
continually search for innovation to improve the race car's
performance. As well as an exhaustive development program at the
factory, Panasonic Toyota Racing visits tracks around the world,
including an air strip on Menorca to test aerodynamic and reliability
improvements to the TF108. It must be nice to have the resources these guys do... F1 never fails to impress.

 The summer cruising months are nearly here, and there are all kinds of great cruising events to join. One great example is the Somernites Power Cruise, and event that leaves from several cities in the heartland of America and converges on the small town of Somerset, Kentucky. We rode along starting the Cincinnati, Ohio, and cruised in one of the best cruising events in the country. The Somernites Cruise happens every 4th Saturday from April through October, and the Power Cruise - with the driving component - occurs in July. This is the first of a 4-part series covering the Somernites Cruise. You can join this year's cruise... it's free, and you'll find more info here!

 The Corvette Development Engineering team took the new ZR1 to the test track in Papenburg, Germany and put the
pedal to the metal to see just how fast it could go. Come along for a 205 mph ride!

 After spending time reinforcing the GTO's chassis, we shot it with a new paint system from Eastwood. The base started off with their high-build 2-part catalyzed Epoxy Primer, and then we topcoated it with their new Ceramic Chassis Black in the satin finish. We used a 3-gun DeVilbiss Startingline HVLP spray gun set to lay down the chemicals, and the look is outstanding. The Ceramic Chassis Black also has a very high chemical and chip resistance, so the look should last for a long time!

 The rear suspension on the Olds "S71" is designed to keep this car stuck to the road in the turns, and provide smooth articulation. The Global West Negative Roll rear suspension makes it happen.

 Bob Chiluk's 1969 Camaro is built with Pro-Touring style, but it's subtle approach is what makes it stand out. The Fathom Green exterior makes the white stripes "pop," and that's where you start to see the details creeping in. Bob nailed the stance with the Intro Speed Star wheels, and the built small block has plenty of power to shred 'em. Shot at the 2007 Run Through The Hills event.

 We spied this 1966 Corvette at the Run Through The Hills event last fall, and although it's not 100% completed, the owner was having tons of fun with it. Powered by an LT1 350 Corvette fuel injected engine and sitting on a newer C4 Corvette chassis, this car really burns up the drag strip and the autocross. In fact, it won in both events!

 We want the S71 Oldsmobile to have terrific handling on the street and on in road course and autocross events, so we chose to use the Negative Roll system from Global West for the suspension parts. The Negative Roll system utilizes taller spindles, tubular control arms, sway bars, and special springs to change the front suspension geometry and make a car that keeps the tires planted better when cornering. This is especially important when using new technology tires with large, flat contact patches. Braking is handled by a set of Baer rotors and calipers to bring this machine to a halt - repeatedly - with minimal fade and in short distances.
