Compact fusion reactors don't exist yet. You talk as if they are already in production. Controlled fusion would be a wonderful step forward in the quest for cheap reliable energy from sources other...

No argument that gasoline powered vehicles have the edge at this time but if EVs are to have a future at all, the hydrogen cell has many advantages over batteries. Building out the infrastructure...

I've only had one and still have it, a 1977 C3 4 speed manual, yellow with brown leather and air. The car had no power so I had it modified to a 383 stroker, 5 speed. Now it performs much better but...

Agree. This technology combines the benefits of electric with the convenience and range of gasoline powered. With all its benefits it's hard to see why batteries enjoy the advantage at this point.

LOL! So true. Primitive rattletraps with drum brakes and solid rear axles. Fun to look at and reminisce but crap to drive.

This sounds entirely reasonable and may even be correct but is nothing like what the article posted by the OP said. At this point I have no idea what the system does but I'm going to assume it's ok.

I own a C3 and have watched the generations go by. Never much liked any of them till now. The C7 was the worst. Looked ok from the front but I just couldn't handle the back half of the damn thing. C8...

I didn't join because of the C8 but returned after a 6 year absence because of it. Lost interest when the C7 came out. C8 rekindled it.

I don't get this. Why are people upset when others point out the design similarities across the Chevy lineup? It's intentional on Chevy's part and denying it makes no difference. I own a 5 Series BMW...

You will be fine in the rain but don't even think about driving it in the snow. In my opinion that is a very bad idea. The car has insufficient clearance for snow covered roads and there's nothing to...

Most X-Drive BMWs and 4-Matic Mercedes use this layout but I wouldn't recommend it for the Corvette. As others have noted a hybrid approach is a far more likely approach and is probably in the...

Short and to the point, the canned octane boosters are a waste of money. They don't do anything. I speak from experience.

I'm partial to it as my current Vette is also yellow. As for Zeus, it's actually one of my favourites. Very rich looking and it is very much in the running for me.
