The upcoming Corvette ZR1 is a bona fide high-tech supercar, but it’s this final 1971 ZR2 that should get all the attention. Only 12 were made and all in a single year, 1971. The beast…

Chevy is bringing dedicated off-road goodness to its heavy duty 2500 truck in the form of the new Silverado HD ZR2. The big boy gets a redesigned suspension system with racing-derived Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers…

Just when you thought Chevy was out of ideas for the Corvette (mid-engined 8th-gen), they pull a fast one and build a friggin’ hybrid. The E-Ray still has a booming 6.2-liter V8 engine, but this…

The SX overlander is the first time EarthRomaer has put its gear on a Chevy. The ginormous Silverado 5500 is the base vehicle that carries EarthRoamer’s capacious and stealthy vacuum-formed carbon fiber shell. Inside, there…

Does a vintage Blazer restomod really need as much horsepower as a Bugatti Veyron? No, but Ringbrothers did it anyway. This 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is reimagined with a supercharged 6.2-liter Corvette engine that got…

The outgoing Silverado was not at the top of the heavy-duty pickup truck heap largely because of its overly harsh ride and somewhat chintzy interior. The new Silverado HD aims to resolve those issues as…

We’ve driven the 8th Generation Corvette Stingray, and it’s astounding how much performance and daily drivability it provides for the price. No other car comes close, but that’s clearly not good enough for the bowtie…

Short is the new long, at least when it comes to vintage pickup restomods. This Chevy C50 pickup has been shortened by ten feet, and a shorter truck bed was added. The new look is…
