Now That's Going to Leave Some Skid Marks…

Sure motorcycle wheelies can be fun to watch but it's far more entertaining and rare to see a car lifting its two front wheels up in the air, which is what happened at a recent "Holley LS Fest", an event that celebrates anything powered by General Motors' LS V8 engine.

A specially modded and obviously, very powerful, fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro gave the spectators something to talk about at the event when it took off on the strip heading towards the sky not once but twice, fortunately, without anyone getting hurt.

Bet You Didn't See this Honda Civic Rollover Accident Coming

Minor fender-benders happen all the time on busy city roads, and in most cases, it's more of an insurance hassle than anything else.

We don't know why the driver of the grey-colored, older generation Honda Civic depicted in this dashcam footage wasn't paying attention to the road, but whatever the reason, he slightly steered off his lane and touched the corner of the Chevrolet Cruze's rear bumper that was in front of him at a relatively low speed.

Drivers Mourn Friend's Death by Illegally Shutting Down an Atlanta Highway to Perform Donuts

We understand that each person or a group of people can have their own way of dealing with the loss of a loved one, but to honor a friend that passed away by illegally shutting down an entire highway to perform donuts with muscle cars in the middle of the day is taking it one-step too far.

It all happened earlier this week on Interstate 285 in Atlanta, Georgia, when a group of friends in several vehicles including a Chevrolet Camaro, a Pontiac G8 sedan and a Firebird Convertible had an entire highway stop and watch their antics.

Ford Mustang 5.0 Rear-Ends Mustang GT which then Crashes into a Corvette [NSFW]

We know that you might be expecting to hear a deep voice coming from the background saying, "I'm in good hands", but instead what you will be hearing in this video after the crash is a whole lot of "Oh's" and an assortment of curse words.

We don't have much information about the accident, though the vehicles involved in the crash appear to belong to some sort of sports car convoy (that or it's a viral video for a insurance company – we just can't be sure).

R&T Pits Corvette ZR1 Against Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren MP4-12C in a V8 Showdown

The Corvette is one of the longest standing nameplates in the sports car world with a history that spans seven decades across six generations of models.

The current iteration of the Corvette (C6) has been in production since 2004 (as a 2005 model) and will soon be replaced by an all-new version set to appear at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show next January with sales to follow later in the year.

The pinnacle of the series, the ZR1, is the fastest and most expensive (at $112,600) production Corvette ever, but how does it compare against two of the newest and most capable V8-powered supercars in the world, the Ferrari 458 Italia and the McLaren MP4-12C?

It's Coming: GM Shuts Down Kentucky Factory Tours to Begin Preparations for Corvette C7 Production

Cue the ominous music; one of the most highly anticipated new models to make its way from Detroit, the upcoming 2014MY Chevrolet C7 Corvette, will soon enter production.

Although we’ve seen it speculatively animated and spied, Chevrolet has been tight lipped on any details regarding the future model before what we expect to be a 2013 Detroit Auto Show revealing.

Florida Cop Fired and Arrested For Slamming Female Driver Suspected of Hit-and-Run Into Her Camaro

A police officer from Pensacola, Florida, was fired and arrested this week following a violent incident in which he slammed a female driver into her latest generation Chevrolet Camaro.

The video footage from Officer Christopher Geraci's vehicle shows the 33-year-old cop talking to Abbi Bonds, 29, who he had found on the side of the road talking on her cell phone.

Geraci approached the woman on suspicion of being involved in two hit-and-run incidents that occurred in the early-morning hours of August 2, according to her arrest report.

2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS with 138HP 1.4L Turbo Priced from $20,995

The sportier looking 2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS equipped with GM's 1.4-liter Ecotec turbocharged gasoline engine will begin production in U.S. this October and arrive in dealerships shortly after with a starting price of $20,995 when equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox.

If you prefer not to press a clutch to change gears, there's also a six-speed automatic transmission version priced at $22,280. In both cases, the price includes destination charges.

Man Power Slides a Corvette Z06 Loaner Into a Tree

While not as epic as last year's Corvette C5 vs. Corvette C6 incident, this crash involving a Corvette Z06 C5 ranks fairly high on the stupidity index (that is, unless it was done for insurance purposes since the same person allegedly pulled the same stunt on a Dodge Viper, as you will read below).

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Speculatively Animated, Think it Will Look Anything like This?

Perhaps the most widely circulated attempt to render and preview the 2014 Corvette C7 comes from the crew at Jalopnik, who in November of 2011, released a trio of drawings which they claimed to be based on actual photos of "one of two Initial Vehicle Engineering Release (IVER) vehicles" that they managed to acquire from sources within General Motors.

Understandably, GM would never confirm such as claim even if it were true, so we cannot say with certainty if the drawings of the 2014 Corvette ZR1 are close to the actual model, which is believed to be revealed at the next Detroit Auto Show in January of 2013.

A Friendly $20 Bet Between Corvette and 350Z at the Drag Strip Turns Sour

Bringing your daily driver over to the drag strip for some (legal) high-speed racing can be fun, but as with any other sports that involves the use of motorized vehicles, there is always the possibility of an accident.

And what started out as a friendly wager between the drivers of a fifth generation Chevrolet Corvette and a Nissan 350Z at the Jefferson Pageland Dragstrip in South Carolina on a July afternoon, didn't end the way they had hoped for.

Chevrolet COPO Camaro Completes Quarter Mile Run in 8.88 Seconds

The 2012 Chevrolet Central Office Production Order (COPO) Camaro was revealed in concept form at last year's SEMA show in Vegas. As it went from concept to production, the drag strip-prepped Camaro came with a choice of a 7.0-liter (427 c.i.) V8 or a 5.3-liter supercharged (327 c.i.) V8.

Only 69 examples of these $89,000 (€72,000) high performance Camaros will be manufactured in honor of the 1969 ZL1 COPO Camaro.

1,100HP-Strong Chevrolet Pickup Truck Terrorizes Sports Cars on the Highway

The makers of the TX2K12 video series have shared a clip of a highly modified Chevrolet pickup truck challenging numerous tuned sports cars including a Corvette, a Dodge Viper, an older generation Chevy Camaro, a Ford Mustang, and even an 800-hp Toyota Supra – all on public roads in Houston, Texas.

And yes, as you probably already have figured out, there's nothing legal nor safe about these street races…

1969 Chevy Camaro SS Burns, Woman Asks Firefighters if it's their First Fire… [NSFW]

Truth to be said, anyone seeing his or her precious ride being destroyed would not react calmly, which probably explains why the woman in this video is freaking out as she watches the classic Camaro being engulfed by flames.

The Arlington Cardinal reported that the 1969 Camaro SS was transported home by a Chevy Silverado to Palatine, Illinois, after it was on display at a local high school charity car show, when the owner noticed smoke blowing out the back door of the trailer.

New 2013 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ Turbo Hits the Track for a Short Promo

After the sported-up 2013 Camaro 1LE earlier today, Chevrolet is following up with the release of a second video of one of its upcoming models.

This time, the car in question is the more mainstream 2013 Malibu Turbo that goes on sale in the States this fall with prices starting from $26,950, not including a $760 destination charge.

New 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE Priced, Pictured and Filmed on the Track

General Motors is looking to give the 2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 with or without the Laguna Seca package a run for its money with a new edition of its 2013 Chevrolet Camaro named 1LE.

The 1LE is offered as a $3,500 (€2,850) package on the Camaro 1SS and 2 SS V8 coupe models with the 6-speed manual gearbox. A Camaro 1SS 1LE starts at $37,035 (€30,100)m which includes a $900 destination charge.

Inspired by the first Camaro 1LE from 1988, the new model keeps the standard SS' 6.2-liter V8 delivering 426hp (318 kW) and 420 lb-ft (569Nm), but swaps the Tremec TR6060-M10 6-speed manual for a Tremec TR6060-MM6 with the same number of gears but a numerically higher 3.91 final-drive ratio, closer-ratio gearing and a liquid-to-liquid cooling system.

There are more changes to be found in the suspension as the 1LE features exclusive, monotube rear dampers instead of the twin-tube dampers on SS models, larger 27-mm solid front- and 28-mm solid rear-stabilizer bars and a strut tower brace.

Meet the King of Camaro Bling: SS Convertible Chromed Inside and Out Riding on 32-inch Wheels

We would say that "excessive" does not even begin to describe this creation from the admittedly imaginative crews of '813 Customs' and 'Mad Mark's Stereo' tuning shops.

Hiding beneath all that chrome is a fifth generation 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS with GM's 6.2-liter V8 engine.

The mirror shiny wrap is accented by red pin and racing stripes, a custom front grille, colorless tail lamp covers, LED strips on the hood opening, devilish-looking headlamps and fog lights in red, and of course, massive 32-inch wheels that create enough ground clearance to allow the Camaro to pass over...a Fiat 500.

Lucky Teen Girls Pull the Ostrich Maneuver at Oncoming Monster Truck

There's nothing like covering your eyes when there's a 10,000 pound (roughly 4.5 tons) automotive gorilla heading you way…

Still, laugh as you will, but the Chevrolet-branded monster truck that veered off course heading towards the two teen girls who had covered their eyes (we don't know if they did it out of fear or because of all the mud being thrown left and right) stopped right in front of them, avoiding the worse.

Check after the break for a video clip of the incident.

Can You Identify What Car Taunted the Corvette Z06 in this Video?

There's no denying that the current Corvette Z06 is a very fast car. Even in factory trim, its gargantuan 7.0-liter free-breathing V8 cranks out 505Hp at 6300 rpm and 470 lb.-ft. (637Nm) of torque at 4800 rpm for a track tested 0-60mph (96km/h) sprint time of 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 198mph (319km/h).

Taking that on-board, a car capable of leaving a Z06 driver scratching his head is an impressive beast, which brings us to our question: Can you make out what model beat the Corvette without trouble in the following video?

Now That's Some Crazy Russian "Говно"

Every day, it seems as if there’s something new about the potential health risks of…driving in Russia. And one thing we've learned from all these dashcam videos is that it if someone stops in front of your car, you had better be prepared for a fight or a very, very quick getaway.

The driver of the baby blue vehicle in this video failed to slow down in a normal manner upon seeing a black Chevrolet Cruze entering the freeway. No big deal, right? Wrong.
