Produced from the 1971 to 1977 model year, the Vega is a mixed bag of opinions depending on who you ask about it. On the one hand, the economy car has tarnished the Golden Bowtie’s reputation with countless issues such as rust. But on the upside, the H-body platform is perfectly suited for restomodding. 31 photos
As far as the second opinion is concerned, would you look at this bad boy? Arguably the nicest Vega on sale today, the “Jega” offered by Cruisin’ Classics features a pro-touring makeover topped by a 454 LSX engine.
The 7.4-liter V8 came out of a crate, and since then, it has been driven only 3,732 miles (6,006 kilometers), according to the online listing. LS2-style injectors, an LSXR intake manifold and 102-millimeter throttle body, Holley Dominator engine management, billet fuel rails, MSD coil packs, as well as a custom aluminum radiator are a few of the underhood highlights.
An official accessory from Chevrolet, the LPO code 5ZU high-wing spoiler is available once again for the mid-engine Corvette in Stingray flavor. The Golden Bowtie discontinued this option last year in April, if I’m not mistaken, citing a “supplier restriction.”

To be unveiled on February 14th in collaboration with Walt Disney World, the all-new Bolt EUV is a bit of a missed opportunity for Chevrolet. You see, the SUV-like brother of the Bolt EV has the same ground clearance as the subcompact hatchback, which defeats the purpose of a utility vehicle. 31 photos
As expected from the biggest of the Big Three automakers in Motor City, the Golden Bowtie is trying to hype up the Bolt EUV and the mid-cycle refresh of the Bolt EV like there’s no tomorrow. Take, for instance, the title of the following video –

With the Shelby GT350 incarnation of the S550 Mustang being replaced by the Mach 1 for the 2021 model year, we mustn t allow the now-retired track special to exit the spotlights. As such, we ve brought along a race involving the Ford and a Chevrolet Camaro SS. 4 photos
Sure, the GT350 was built for the circuit, with the independent rear suspension of the sixth-gen Mustang allowing the engineers to take the label to a new level; many owners still prefer a quick, straight-line battle, though. Case in point with the velocity confrontation we have here, which saw the muscle cars going for a rolling start adventure.
Chevy Says Corvette C8 Buyers Are Wealthier Than C7 Customers
Jan 17, 2021 at 9:23am ET ++ And not just by a hair, mind you.
Suffice to say, if you re someone who can buy a two-seater sports car that can barely carry a month s worth of groceries, you re most likely rich by any standard (and you probably have another vehicle as your grocery-getter).
But Chevy Corvette C8 buyers are even wealthier than those who bought its predecessor, the C7. That s according to Steve Hill, General Motors North America Vice President, who mentioned the comparison during a media engagement,
GM Authority reports.
How wealthier, you ask? Hill disclosed that the median household income of a mid-engine Corvette buyer is $76,000 higher than those who got the previous model. No, that isn t a typo error, and that tells us that the Vette has transcended on a whole new level of sports car buyers, even higher than what its usual customers are.
