Beal traded his 2008 red-on-black Bugatti Veyron for a Corvette ZR1!

With 20,307 miles on the odometer, the seemingly new Bugatti Veyron actually matches up well to the ZR1. The Veyron clocks 0-to-60MPH in just 2.4 seconds, reaching high speeds of 253 miles per hour. The ZR1, on the other hand, reaches the 0-to-60 MPH mark in 3.3 seconds and high speeds of 205 miles per hour. Not too shabby.

The only strong difference: cost. A new Veyron runs for $1,600,000, a ZR1 only $107,000. With such a huge cost gap, the dealership wouldn’t accept the Veyron trade-in until they lined up a buyer, which they did.

Overall, in my opinion, Beal was smart in this trade… Not only did he regain some cashflow, but he is also the proud owner of an American-made vehicle that performs nearly as well as his former European ride.

Well, for years that’s just where Pop Art icon, Peter Max, chose to store his collection of vehicles for an on-hold art project. Max originally purchased the collection of vehicles from Mr. Amodeo, who had won them as a prize from a 1989 VH1-sponsored contest!

Yes, at that time, VH1 was heavily competing with sister network, MTV. In an attempt to attract an older audience, freelance television producer for VH1, Jim Cahill, pulled together this promotion which “had to be big, but the theme of it had to resonate with baby boomers.”

Cahill brainstormed the perfect baby boomer prize – Corvettes! After gaining the approval from top execs, Cahill purchased the 36 vehicles in 1988. “I got to shop for all the Corvettes that I’d always wanted,” he said. “We actually assembled them pretty quickly.”

Fortunately for VH1, the promotion was a huge success, creating nationwide buzz and enticing 1.3 million callers to enter the contest by calling into a call-in number.

As for now, the collection of Corvettes has been relocated to a building in Upper Manhattan – just waiting for their next move or art debut…

In a 2007 trial, Rindahl had testified against Endicott, 72, for child molestation. Endicott was put behind bars in the Sacramento County Jail without bail one year later for six felony counts of child molestation charges.

But, regardless of the past, the two young boys had also created a crime: trespassing on private property with suspicion of commercial burglary and auto theft.

The boys were stopped after a long police car pursuit chase by the California Highway Patrol and detained without incident. They were booked into the Tehama County Jail with a bail set at $20,000 each.

Sad situation for all parties, but fortunately the Corvette was returned undamaged.

Out of 31 vehicle classes and nine category winners, the Chevrolet Corvette was recognized as the BEST CAR VALUE OVER $24,000!  Another honor for Corvette, but certainly nothing new as Corvette continues its multi-year winning streak.

“One of the biggest things IntelliChoice.com emphasizes is that choosing a car wisely is not just about the lowest sticker price or even the lowest ownership costs,” said Charlie Vogelheim, executive editor of IntelliChoice.com. “The [award] recognizes cars and trucks whose total cost of ownership is significantly lower than expected compared to its peers.”

No need to keep looking for that perfect sports car, Corvette proves yet again to be a wonderful vehicle for a great value!

“Street-refined, but track-capable.” That’s exactly what Goodyear had in mind when factory fitting their latest Ultra-High Performance Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 tires for the 2011 Corvette Z06.

Bob Toth, Goodyear's director of new products, believes the multiple facets of the tire are important when fitting for the Corvette. The directional tread design helps enhance the dry cornering grip while even the tire’s style and lettering is important in giving the overall high performance appearance.

"The new Eagle F1 SuperCar G:2 is positioned as a race-inspired, ultra-high performance dry traction tire for select supercars. With a left-side, right-side specific tread design, it offers superb dry traction and precise handling, complementing both the performance and appearance of sports cars," Toth said.

Now after multiple road course tests throughout North America, the tires will be available this summer in two run-flat sizes: P275/35ZR18 and P325/30ZR19.

• ALMS: Two twin Compuware Corvette C6.Rs are amongst 17 entries to compete within the nine ALMS events this year. The season-opening event for Corvette Racing is the 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, a 12-hour endurance race, on March 20. (Watch it live on the SPEED channel.)
   
• Le Mans: Two C6.Rs will travel to France to compete in the ultimate 24 Hours of Le Mans from June 12 until June 13. Competition is fierce for this 17 vehicle GT2 race class, which will include five Porsche 911s, two BMW M3s, five Ferrari F430s, an Aston Martin Vantage, a Spyker C8 and the new Jaguar XKR.

With the success Corvette Racing has had in just receiving these invitations, Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan admits it’s still important to stay close to home. "While Corvette is truly a global brand, our most important market is North America," said Fehan. "Our participation in the American Le Mans Series is both a proving ground for our technology and a showcase to demonstrate Corvette's capabilities for our customers and fans."

For the following races, Corvette Racing drivers will include Emmanuel Collard, Oliver Gavin, Olivier Beretta, Antonio Garcia, Johnny O'Connell, Jan Magnussen and Ron Fellows.

Needless to say, stay tuned to Corvette Racing!

We don't have to wait any longer.  Certain GM vehicles offer a Pause and Play Radio feature, which saves up to 20-minutes of audio from a radio (including XM radio) on a vehicle’s hard drive. The best part – this radio save feature can even be activated when the vehicle is turned off!

Now in addition to the certain handful of GM vehicles that offer Pause and Play Radio, GM recently announced this radio feature would also become available on lower-end vehicles as well.  This announcement we find interesting, considering they have higher-end vehicles such as the Corvette lacking the latest, greatest options.

After first debuting on the Cadillac CTS, the feature has been available on the Buick LaCrosse, Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX. And now, the Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Regal will begin to offer it too. Others suggest GM will continue to expand this feature onto other vehicles eventually.

Maybe next year’s Corvette will make the cut! If not then, maybe with the release of the Corvette C7 – that is if it doesn’t already come with better radio features!

Stay tuned as we update you on the next batch of GM vehicles that will offer Pause and Play Radio.

“In going through my list, I realized some of the cars I loved, while being great cars, are on the list as much for the driving experience and where I drove them as for the actual car itself. But thinking about it, that's the way it should be,” says Hart.

In no particular order, his top picks were:
1. Ferrari F430 Scuderia
2. Porsche Carerra GT
3. BMW Z8
4. Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 KR
5. Ford Mustang Cobra Jet
6. Rolls-Royce Phantom
7. Nissan Skyline GT-R
8. Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
9. Ford GT
10. Dodge Viper ACR

Why the ZR1? Hart insists it’s the “best performance bargain on the planet” as well as a relatively easy drive for a sports car that produces 600+ horsepower. Not only did the drive train impress him, but also the interior of the vehicle. As he puts it, “an amazing car” whether on the racetrack or for a daily commute.

Do you agree with his listing? 3 Fords? 2 Mustangs? If you had to choose, how would you rank your top 10? Tell us here.
