[VIDEO] This or That: 550-hp C6 Grand Sport Takes on a 1,017-hp Raptor R Baja Truck


As a car hobbyist, there’s never been a better time to have a little extra scratch lying around. American automakers are at the top of their game, and from a performance standpoint, exotic cars have largely been rendered irrelevant. If you’ve got $150,000 to spend, there are some almost unbelievable homegrown automotive choices in front of you! Right now, Chevrolet will sell you a daily-drivable mid-engine supercar with a flat-plane V8 to shame the best Ferraris ever built! There’s an 807-horse V8 widely available in Dodge’s Charger/Challenger twins, and in the latter model, this so-called “Jailbreak” isn’t even the most powerful engine in the lineup! Elon is simply itching to sell you a four-door that’s capable of hitting 60 MPH in 2.1 seconds on its way to a 9.4-second quarter, and there’s not one, but two trucks on the market that boast 700 or more supercharged ponies from the factory; it is absolutely gobsmacking how much speed is available right off the showroom floor, right now!

C8 Corvette Stingray owners have a ton of choices these days when it comes to selecting an aftermarket exhaust system. While previously the hardest decision to make was finding just the right sound you wanted, today it’s also about the layout. When upgrading your exhaust, owners can go with another corner-mounted exhaust system or you can give your C8 Stingray the same look of the new C8 Z06 with a quad-center exhaust.

Last week we had the follow up story about a Z06 buyer who received a Stingray Badge on the rear deck of his 2023 Corvette Z06. We remarked how the car passed through multiple quality control checks before being delivered to the customer. While that factory mix-up is a fairly rare occurrence, it sparked an email from another Z06 customer who says they received the wrong equipment on their order as well.
