Filed under: Convertible , Coupe , Performance , Europe , Plants/Manufacturing , UK , Luxury At long last, the question of exactly which American V8 the newly-resurrected TVR will use has been answered. As you might have guessed, the Russian-owned, English-bred racer will get a beating heart from none other than the mighty Chevrolet Corvette . The news hounds over at Autocar managed to snag a quick interview with the brand’s owner, Nikolai Smolenski, who said that the GM eight-pot presented the most efficient and powerful solution to the company’s engine concerns.

Ever wonder what a party with 20,000 or so of your closest car guy friends would feel like? Well, I can tell you it would probably feel a lot like the Barrett Jackson auction in Palm Beach, FL. Want a non-collectable driver just for cruise nights

Filed under: Spy Photos , Coupe , Performance , Videos , Lotus Hennessey Venom GT spied in public - Click above to watch the video after the jump The insane Hennessey Venom GT won’t be revealed publicly until this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed (but come back this Monday at midnight for the full scoop), however, the crew at PistonHeads have recently caught the car out in the open. We’re definitely swooning over this one, what with its Lotus Elise -based body, Porsche Carrera GT proportions and Corvette ZR1 -sourced powerplant.

Yesterday was a good day. I woke up early, got some coffee and headed out east to Long Island to go play with a pair of wicked fast Corvettes. How does a tweaked 2007 Z06 that makes 478 hp at the wheels sound, followed by a stock 2010 ZR1 that makes 638 hp (that is not a misprint).

Filed under: Coupe , Performance , Chevrolet 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon - Click above for high-res image gallery For the truly hard-core Corvette fanatic who likes to spend weekends thrashing his or her car at the track, there is only one Corvette worthy of consideration: the Z06. However, thanks to the ZR1 , the lightweight, normally aspirated 7.0-liter coupe is no longer the absolute quickest Vette, but it is felt to have the most responsive handling. What it doesn’t have is the uber-cool carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber body panels and magnetic ride active damping system of its supercharged sibling.
