Welcome Back: 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06

The challenge; go flat out in one gear!


This is the kind of car that set the Top Gear Test Track on fire...literally. Well, Mr. Clarkson, don't even blame Tiff and Vicky for being responsible on the barn arson that destroyed Top Gear TV props back in 2007 (such jealousy of course...). Don't even blame the man who previously owned a Toyota pickup that with several tortures, it's still alive and immortal. Don't even blame the Southerners since the US Special. And don't even blame someone from the English Channel. Blame it on the one that once set the Top Gear props on fire; the fiery 7.0L-powered Corvette Z06.

Seven liters of American-friendly fire, over 500BHP of power, weighs less than the standard Corvette, and cheaper than the Ferrari 575M Maranello by a 100,000 Pound margin (WOW), that's how Corvette Z06 did set the Top Gear Test Track on fire...literally.




While this seven-litre monster no Ferrari, it does manage to set a seriously impressive time when its handed over to the the Stig, 1:22.4 to be exact. Sadly though, Jeremy Clarkson made fun of the Corvette's sat-nav system for being TOO American like for instance; it will only find a nearest Burger King, McDonalds, Pizza Hut, or any other fast food chain nearest you.

Anyway, this 7.0L monster makes the most BRUTAL noises and it feels like it was fueled with The Fury. The Z06 is perfect enough to set every racetracks in Forza 4 to its reign of fire. We really wonder if this one caused the barn arson that destroyed most of the Top Gear props back in 2007, way before Series 10 began.

Hot Wheels Ferrari 250GT California Spyder 1:18 scale

I bought something at the Northwest Historics events as a souvenir from my trip...


It's a HOT WHEELS 1:18-scale model of the legendary Ferrari 250GT California Spyder.





Pretty, isn't it? I didn't realize that Chris Evans has a 250GT California. Really? I saw it in one episode of Top Gear when James May take a visit to Chris Evans' car collection and James May even have a chance to drive his childhood favorite, which is the 250GT California Spyder!


From every angle, this diecast model of the 250GT California Spyder really looks good. The doors opened very well with my fingers and such beauty really makes it a collector's item! Yum!





I once have a 1:18-scale SLS AMG in my closet and when I compare these two...ooh!!! It was like nostalgia meets modernization! Even that they're not from the same league, both the 250GT and the SLS AMG really looked nice in my mind. For now, I have two diecast cars in my collection. Wonder what I'll get next?

I think I just hear someone leaking about the 2013 Mitsubishi Proudia and Dignity!

Some Japanese blogger snapped photos of his acquired brochure about the upcoming 2013 Mitsubishi Proudia (which is based on the Nissan Fuga Y51) and the upcoming 2013 Mitsubishi Dignity (which is the LWB version of the Nissan Fuga Y51...which is the Cima we think). Take a look..





So to expect...the 2013 Mitsubsihi Proudia will have the same 2.5L and 3.7L V6 engines as the Nissan Fuga Y51 while the 2013 Mitsubishi Dignity will have...the 3.5L V6 engine with hybrid powertrain...that's about the same you'll get from the Fuga Hybrid or the new Cima.

24th Annual Pacific Northwest Historics Vintage Races

Despite that it rained at the Pacific Raceways, we visited the 24th Annual Pacific Northwest Historics held at Pacific Raceways and sponsored by Mercedes-Benz of Seattle. I was greeted by a bunch of car clubs present at that venue...

From Fiats, Fairlady Z's, MG's, Minis, Alfas, Lotuses, even the mighty DeLorean from the Back To The Future trilogy, those car clubs of all sorts really wowed me since my visit to the Pacific Raceways.


There was one car I'm not utterly familiar off...it was a 1962 KELLISON but sorry, I have no idea what is this classic racer...





This one looks cool, a Smart Fortwo smothered with Rosso Corsa color and some Ferrari badges on it! Whoever owns this must have been a Ferrari fan who couldn't afford a Ferrari. He he he...






Vintage racers are the stars of the race. They came from various eras with various classes but the glorious noises from the classic racers are truly epic. They're more of a GOLDEN GOODIES and it feels like I went back in time to watch a race! Woo-hoo!





There's the Mercedes-Benz of Seattle booth!



This is the E63 AMG but...


This one has the all new M157 5.5L V8 BiTurbo engine, the kind of engine Forza blokes don't want to feature a single Mercedes-AMG model with the M157 engine on it.


This is the SLS AMG but that's the Roadster model. Sure, this model was featured on Top Gear.


The AutoCenter Northwest booth does feature the hottest luxury cars but for me, they're not as hot as this...






The all new Range Rover Evoque. Basically one of my favorites....


This trip to the Pacific Raceways will serve as my one step further for being a petrolhead. Those car clubs present, those classic racers, that's what amazed me at the 24th Annual Pacific Northwest Historics Vintage Races
