The Zandy Wagon Build Up
 The Zandy Wagon is the brainchild of Zan and Randy Martin, proprietors of Martin & Company Advertising (M&C). Having specialized in the automotive aftermarket for nearly 25 years and helping a who's who list of clients build killer project cars, they decided it was time to build their own and showcase the truly exceptional products manufactured by their many clients.
Their choice: a one of a kind 1957 4-door Chevy Wagon Bel Air Townsman coated in Sherwin Williams custom ZANDY red. One of only 27,000 ever made, this big red Diva represents a complete frame off restoration with lots of original cues and a few slick surprises to capture your attention. We have seven clients sponsoring the Zandy Wagon: MAHLE Motorsport, Jiffy-tite Motorsports, Cherry Bomb, Zoom, StrongArm, Harmon's, E3 Spark Plugs, and Howell Engine Development. – Leslie Maxwell

2009 Chevrolet Camaro V6 To Gain Major Fuel Saving Attention, NOT
 Does it sound very logical to take a previously manufactured muscle car, and bring it back to the market as a fuel saving Honda? Definitely not, but apparently GM's North American Vice President, Mark LaNeve, thinks so. “We won’t position it as a muscle car,” he says. “The mainstream positioning will be fuel economy, design and a V-6". What a retarded idea. Check out the full article by clicking here at Businessweek.

Detroit Muscles Up Again
 According to The Car Connection, "To our great delight, Detroit is back in the muscle car business. General Motors is readying their Camaro. Across town, Chrysler is busy prepping the Challenger. Unlike its rivals, Ford never stopped producing the Mustang, although some would argue the Mustang II wasn't a real muscle car - but the Interceptor concept certainly is.
Detroit 's muscle-car homecoming has been huge news because these cars, more than any other type of vehicle, evoke vast quantities of emotion. People who never knew the originals get just as excited as those who did."

There is nothing better than a summer day filled with good food, music, friends...and rows upon rows of Corvettes. That's why CORSA(r) Performance Exhausts and Corvette Cleveland are bringing car enthusiasts together at the Fifth Annual Corvettes@CORSA Car Show from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. July 29 at CORSA Performance headquarters in Berea, Ohio.
Katech Performance has introduced their Value 427 Short Block (KAT-A4684) for do-it-yourself enthusiasts planning their own 7.0L build.
MBRP, best known for performance exhaust systems for all of the light duty diesel truck applications, is branching out to include new systems for popular American Muscle car applications. Crafted from high quality T304 stainless steel, these latest performance exhaust systems are available for the Chevy Corvette C6, Ford Mustang, Chrysler 300C, and Dodge Magnum RT/Charger RT.
A new generation of powerful and reliable crate engines have created a Golden Age for power, making it possible for anyone to drop-in monster torque right out of a catalog. With all this power, choosing the right clutch can be confusing, and choosing the wrong one catastrophic. Zoom has taken the guesswork out of choosing the right clutch with their complete line of crate engine Torque Matched® Systems. 
LS1 motors have a bad habbit of "jumping" the accessory belt off of the OEM belt tensioner during hard downshifts or acceleration. This is typically caused by dynamic tensioner spring fatigue. What can you do about it? Katech has the answer with their Gen III F-Car Adjustable Belt Tensioner. 
Callaway Cars today unveiled its Callaway C16 – the 16th in an impressive lineup of exclusive, built-to-order Callaway automobiles. Based on the current Chevrolet Corvette platform, the C16 takes performance and style to the next level, with 616 supercharged bhp and 582 lb-ft of torque. The new sports car incorporates Callaway's race-proven technologies, superlative craftsmanship and arresting style. 
According to TheCarConnection, "a reader of TheCarConnection has some convincing evidence that the project is a go. "Yonni G," a student near Milford , Mich. - the site of GM's proving grounds - spotted this prototype on public roads last week."
Katech Performance has unleashed its "LS7 Arsenal" - a complete line of "attack" engines built for battle in any automotive arena.
