The ultimate car


This week I am going to talk about Chevy corvettes. My favorite year is the 69 and 2009 corvette. My aunt has a corvette, I think its a 1976 or 1977, I got to ride in it once, its in pretty good shape. There were 38,762 Corvettes made in 1969. The 69 coupe was available with a 427 V-8 engine that produced about 435 horse power and had a 3 or 4 speed transmission. I've seen many of these corvettes in car shows and other places and they look awesome when there all restored and sound amazing.

Now the 2009 corvettes (ZO6), I don't think I've seen one that new though. The ZR1 is the fastest and most powerful corvette unless you count the hennessey. These cars look like a sports car but sound like a muscle car, but I think its a sports car. They have a 505 horse power 7 liter lS7 engine with a 6 speed transmission. In sixth gear at about 1600 rpm it can go about 65 miles per hour. There top speed is a little under 200. It can go from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds. The corvette is my most favorite car and would love to have one.

2 of the best cars


This time I will be talking about 2 of my favorite muscle cars, the 1969 Chevy Camaro and the 1969 Chevy Nova. These are 2 of my favorite old muscle cars; the 69 Camaro is my favorite year. Also my dad used to have a 69 Camaro SS and a 69 Nova; my mom also had a 71 Nova. First the 69 Camaro SS; It has 300 horse power with a turbo fire 350cid engine and 3 speed manual transmission. The 69 & 67 Camaro SS were chosen to compete in the Indy 500. They quit making Camaros in 2002, but thankfully started making them again in 2009.


Now the 69 nova; it has 375 horse power with 396 engine and has a 4 speed transmission. I do not know if they were in any big races though but if they were they’d win. These began to be made in 1962 and sadly ended in 1979. Both of these are awesome and powerful muscle cars, and would like to have one or both of these sometime. I know there powerful from videos on YouTube, like one I watched, it was a 74 Nova vs. a 2005 or 2006 TURBO Mustang GT and the nova dominated the mustang. But if the novas ever do lose, its only by a couple feet. So these are some of my favorite cars and all I have to say for now.

favorite kinds of cars










This week I am changing my topic and writing about cars because it would be hard to write about basketball 6 more times and also I know a lot about cars. First my favorite brand of vehicle is Chevy and GMC: I like GMC because they have pretty much the same trucks as Chevy. My favorite Chevy cars are the Camaro SS, corvette zo6 & z-r1, Cobalt SS, El Comino, Chevelle, all their trucks and many other cars. For ford my second favorite cars are the mustang, Ford GT, there trucks, and 1 or 2 others. I’ve always liked Camaros and corvettes and I want to get one sometime.

The 2010 Camaro V-6 has 300 horse power. The Camaro ss with a V-8 has 422 horse power, and the tweaked Hennessey Camaro supercharged has 705 HORSEPOWER!! But they cost $$109,500$$. A 2010 corvette zo6 has 502 horsepower; the corvette z-r1 supercharged has 638 horsepower. The Hennessey corvette has over 700 horsepower. These all beat the ford mustangs with V-8 engine except the Camaro V-6. The corvettes can beat ford GT’s, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Toyota superas, and many other called super cars. I know this cause I’ve seen many videos of them racing. These are just some of the cars I like; these are all mainly new ones though.
