Blog #2, SUBARU STI

The Subaru STI is a practical everyday car that you may see on the road every once and a while. But it does not show its true beauty of it. The STI first came out in 1999 as a rally car. Now Subaru has shifted to a completely different style to compete on more practical conditions. They went from a sports sedan style, to a hatchback, and raised there engine horsepower to 305 bhp, along with a 0-60 time of 4.9 seconds. The new STI still is in major competition with its biggest rival, the lancer evo X, which still has the STI beat by a couple catagories.

Blog #1, Corvette ZR1

Today, I read in my Road and Track magazine, about how Rick Wagoner, chairman and CEO posed a question to GM. He questioned them that if it only took $59,995 to make the original Corvette Z06; What they could make with $100,000. They answered quickly with the Corvette ZR1. The ZR1 totally remade the Corvette. The GM team put in a 600 plus horsepower V8 engine, along with a 6.2 liter supercharger, which let the Z06 unleash over 220-MPH in a straight line. The Corvette Z06, was GM's most powerful car they have ever built, and has paved a path for others to follow.
