Let us talk about the Camaro street racing car.However, before we get further into the Camaro cars, we need to get to know a few things first about street-car racing. Who does not know about street racing? Many people said that street racing is illegal, is it now? It s true that in the past, people start a fight by doing a street-car racing. Of course, this kind of thing makes people terrified. Camaro racing cars.

The idea of street-car racing then develops into something that only “troublesome” people get into the street-car racing. Even though there are already legal street-car races, many people still think that street-car racing is useless. But, enough about that. The focus of the street-car racing is not about whether it is illegally or legally conducted, but it is about the car.

Instead of talking and discussing turn signals, 91 octanes, or factory body panels, why do not we talk about the history behind the street-car racing and the technology that people used back then on their cars? What did they do with their cars to make them confident in joining the street-car racing? Or we can also discuss the tire and whether they add a turbo for their car or not.

Brief History of Street-Car Racing

Regardless of whether the street-car racing is illegal or not, the history of this street racing goes all the way back to the first formal street-racing car which people called the drag races. Back in 1951, people started to do the first street-car racing was conducted at Wally Parks. Here, people race to show what they have in their cars. Also, each year, the theme model of the car was changed. Starting from stock cars then Gassers, then Altered Wheelbase, then Funny Cars, then Pro Stock, and many more.

As time goes by, the street-racing car develops into more complex and a little bit pricey. Hence, it is not a surprising thing when there is an underground street-car racing with a much cheaper and less complex system.

Just like horse racing, street-racing with cars has been conducted long ago in the past. However, that being said, eventually, street-racing with cars have become common during the peak season of muscle cars and hot rodding. Of course, it becomes even more popular day by day even though deaths happen every year. It can be the driver, the bystander, or the passenger.

If the first drag race was conducted in 1951, then the first modern car street-racing for the car was conducted in Woodward Avenue, Michigan. Here, the people in this street-racing mainly used high-powered performance cars from three main car companies in the United States. There is no legal racing venue so they have to use public roads. 

Typically, the street-racing is taken place in highways that are less crowded such as the outskirts of the city, countryside, or industrial complexes. Also, there are two types of illegal car street-racing, the spontaneous one and the coordinated one. If the street-racing is well-planned or coordinated, people usually communicate via a 2-way band radio. Not only that but they also use technology to track polices and GPS to mark the location of the police. 

Now, of course, the all-time favorite car used in the street-car racing is Camaro street racing car. Thus, in this article, we are going to talk about the stunning piece of art of Chevrolet Camaro which is Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R Race Car.

When it comes to the mini-SUV game, Toyota usually comes late, but now the company joined the competition with the new model. So, here we will discuss the comparison between Mazda CX-3 vs Honda HR-V vs Toyota C-HR with the pictures and general specs brought.

Mazda CX-3

The Mazda CX-3 is one of the most popular cars in the segment due to its sharper pricing and sharp looks. It comes to the broadest range along with certain features such as diesel power, front or he all-wheel-drive. This makes the price range varies between $19,990-$40,000.

When it was tested for its front-drive auto petrol “sTouring” and added $1063 safety pack which included rear cross-traffic alert, automatic emergency braking and also a blind-spot warning, it resulted in a closer performance with other pairs tested.

The facility of Mazda CX-3 is the rear camera, built-in navigation, rear parking sensor, sensor key, a head-up display, digital speedo, faux leather seat trim, and cruise control.

However, there is one thing which discomforts the user. It is the non-convex side mirror that makes you hard to see what’s outside. Even though the cargo space and interior are smaller, but among the trio, the CX-3 is the lightest and smallest. But you cannot make the engine as the favorite because it is noisy.

What To Look From 2019 Mazda CX-3?

There are some upgrades for the latest Mazda with its mild styling. Of course, the new series has a more powerful engine which makes its performance more powerful. Driving is more convenient with the standard armrest and bin. The safety features are awesome and it is also available to all trim levels.

In terms of interior, the Mazda CX-3 is very comfortable and interesting with engaging driving experience, the driver is even more to love the care with the impressive fuel economy. Such a crossover is rare to have these features. The driver aids are cool and safe.

however, some discomforts are found due to its below-average cargo space. The rear seats are cramped and the suspension tuning is too firm.

Driving performance is cool with nice balance and sharp steering. The least comfortable is only the too-tall gearing and also meekly tired which this prevents the driver to get more engagement. The unit has no issue when merging with the highway, but for maintaining speed will need maximum throttle. Another annoying thing is this doesn’t include Android Auto and Apple Carplay. Besides, the low-power USB is a bit turnoff.

Honda HR-V

After 1.5 years of its launch, the Honda HR-V has been cheaper which is for the middle spec among three variants is around $31,593. All variants have the petrol power, so goo to hear this.

Meanwhile, the CVT is an option for the fuel-efficient than the other rival, but it produces noisy sound as if the clutch is slipping. Other standard features included are six airbags, LED headlights, automatic emergency braking, blind zone camera, rear-view camera, sensor key, large touchscreen, cruise control, and aircon. The user can also opt for the parking sensor which can be installed through the dealer.

Compared to Mazda, the presentation and control are more upmarket. For the cabin, it is the roomiest among the trio and it is more comfortable over bumps compared to Mazda.

What’s New From 2019 Honda HR-V?

A strong competitor of Mazda is coming from Honda with its HR-V series. The car comes with fresh front and the rear styling. There are two new trim levels with New Sport and Touring. Unlike the Mazda CX-3, the Honda HR-V is completed with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Multiple safety suits are also added.

Furthermore, the new series of Honda is an average size adult which is very comfortable for both the back and front part. The cargo solution is excellent and it is more versatile. Besides, in terms of fuel economy, Honda seems unbeatable compared to the competitors. Additionally, the outward visibility is very excellent.

However, there, of course, some discomfort especially the output result and the noise is pretty palpable. We don’t like the touchscreen interface. It is more difficult to use. For cabin materials, it looks cheaper compared to the Mazda and other rivals.

For driving performance, we cannot compare as both Mazda and Honda have powerful performance. But Honda has a very high score for this segment which performs very good for everyday use. Because of fuel economy feature, this results in sluggish power deliver when we need it.

In terms of utility features, the small-item storage is not so impressive but the safety features are beyond the expectation. However, the user might get disappointed with the voice and touchscreen control. These features are very weak. HAt least it is luckier to get the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Toyota C-HR

Toyota C-HR has been working on the high-riding hatchback since seven years ago, but they delayed the C-HR. From its 1.2-liter turbo engine, now it grows to be the bolt one resulting nice performance. The companies mix and match the old hardware though but the item is more grown-up. The company raised the standard by upgrading the standard equipment which causes it to cost close to $30,000.

The standard features on the car are radar cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping technology, rear camera, blind zone warning, seven airbags, front and rear sensors, etc.

Compared to Mazda, Toyota has a roomier interior which is close to Honda. However, Toyota only added a 12V power socket with one USB port. However, the user will be happy to see the high-end appearance on the dashboard, and the material quality is very good. This makes the seat most comfortable among the trio. The audio touchscreen has the tuning and volume knobs and it has quite a performance when it comes to engine compared the Mazda and Honda.

However, the C-HR is not a race car and it is slow. Besides, its engine requires premium unleaded.

In conclusion, Mazda might have won the market but it has competition and updates. With the cut-price, Honda is the choice for roomier interior and cabin. Meanwhile, Toyota is the best on safety equipment.

Cadillac SRX was one of the most prominent parts of the luxury crossover. Unfortunately, this car production has been stopped since 2016. In this article, we will talk about the latest unit and give you a quick comparison of Cadillac SRX Performance VS Luxury. See our pictures for both cars on this page.

Pros and Cons the 2016 Cadillac SRX

There is some interesting feature to enjoy with the last series of Cadillac SRX. It came with many safety features and luxury stuff you will love. Besides, the car got more balanced handling and ride as well as classy cabin design.

However, not all things from Cadillac SRX are good. We found limited backseat headroom, lackluster fuel economy, frustrating CUE infotainment interface which is very slow response and also the compromised outward visibility.

General Overview

The 2016 Cadillac SRX seemed to be a promising car for the entry-level crossover SUV level, unfortunately, the rivals could prove a better expectation.

As we said earlier, the SRX was designed with advanced luxury features and technologies. This included 4G WiFi and “safety alert” which can vibrate as the safety monitors identify a thread from another side of the car. The handles are superior and it is one of the few brands that came with a V6 engine.

The downside comes from the interior of the car with less rear headroom. Besides, the SRX outward view is also compromised. Also the CUE (Cadillac User Experience) electronic interface is lagging. Apart from that, some 2016 Cadillac units got upgrade version with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for smartphone integration.

For driving with the Cadillac SRX, it is still good for the crossover segment, but you might like the 2016 Acura with the roomier space. Or, you can try the 2016 Volvo XC60 for a more friendly and stylish choice. Another competitor you can consider is the Audi Q5 and BMW X3. Overall, the Cadillac SRX is still likable but it might not fulfill your high expectation. But of course, it is still worth it to try!

Trim Levels

Cadillac SRX 2016 launched several trim levels including the Base, Luxury, Performance and also Premium.

Which One Is Better Between Performance and Luxury?

With different trim levels, Cadillac added different features, which are as follows:

• Luxury – The trim level got panoramic sunroof with leather upholstery. It came with heated seats and parking assistance so it will be very much easier for the driver.
• Performance – Meanwhile, the Performance trim came with the 20-inch wheels along with Suspension system. Besides, it was supported by the Adaptive shock absorber as well as the adaptive HID headlights.

There some downsides that you might not like, but the 2016 Cadillac is a car for someone who is looking for a powerful and smooth experience. Its design is sophisticated and it is very quiet when it goes down to the street. Those who often have mountain trips can choose this as an option. Or, for daily use, the ca is convenient in terms of safety features. It is tough

This Dodge small SUV review might be what are you looking for. For you who are seeking for the affordable and practical SUV to your family, this might be a good option. The Dodge Journey 2019 seems to offer plenty of features.

Is The 2019 Dodge Journey Good?

The new series comes with some changes with the following pros and cons:

Pros – It comes with an intuitive system for entertainment and also affordable price. Besides, the engine for the 2019 series is new with V6 coming with lower trims.

Cons – Unfortunately, there are no safety features, base engine acceleration, ponderous handling, and the subpar predicted reliability rating.

Features

There are three trim levels including SE, GT, and Crossroad. This 2019 doesn’t include the SXT trim but it is good news seeing the V6 engine in the series. The 173 horsepower and 166 lb.-ft of torque resulted from its 2.4 liters 4 cylinder engine. This is delivered to its front wheels with the 4-speed automatic transmission.

A bigger capacity is added to the Crossroad trims and SE versions with the 3.6-liter V6 engine resulting 283hp and its 260 lb.-ft. All V6 models come with the 6-speed automatic transmission. For the front-wheel drive, the feature is standard with the option for AWD (all-wheel drive).

In case you feel OK with such power.

Compared to other low budget small SUVs, this is not the best one but of course, it still has attractiveness to some targeted customers such as people who are running rental car companies rather than actual customers. Or, maybe for people who search for SUV with little power behind its wheel.

Most of us appreciate the impressive 3.6L V6 engine with its keyless ignition, roof rails a 4.3-inch entertainment system and its comfortable reclining seats. But of course, the Dodge Journey series gives you the option to have three rows of seating. It depends on the trim level you choose.

It can deliver a satisfying ride and the best part is it is available in 10 options including Redline, Blood Orange, Contusion Blue, Destroyer Gray, Billet, Granite, Olive Green, White Noise, Pitch Black and Vice White.

The 363-horsepower Hemi V8 can deliver nice acceleration but its ability to manage gear changes with its 8-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission is not surprising.

• Pros – The 2013 series got lots of features. This included the strong V6 engine, convertible model and also composed ride and handling.
• Cons – The car was designed smaller when you compare it to another sedan. It came with smallish trunk and some out of date electronics.

General Overview

If you ask about the best recommendation, then we will say it depends on the body style. The convertible series is a good choice compared to the sedan which is not as competitive as others. However, both body style has uniqueness and strength. Overall, the models offer dynamic feature driving experience, attractive cabins and of course amenities. Each type is available with fuel economy and crips acceleration.

The Chrysler 200 Convertible came with a big trunk which has more room for cargo. You can compare it with the Ford Mustang and also Volkswagen Eos. For the cabin, it is very spacious so you can accommodate the passenger comfortably. Thanks to the spacious rear legroom.

For the sedan model, it is difficult to say we have the same enthusiast as the convertible one. It is because the bar is set high for the midsize four-door category. Besides, it came with less trunk and cabin space. The disappointment will be felt the most on the electronic which is a bit out of date.

This is why we suggest looking at another rival such as Toyota Camry, Kia Optima and also Volkswagen Passat. This comes with solid bets and has become the longstanding favorites.

2013 Chrysler 200 Models

For a sport sedan lover, maybe you need to look at the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 10. This is the 10th generation of Lancer Evolution series which has been produced since 2007. Let’s look at the details

Specs and Strenght

The tenth generation of Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X is the newest-enhanced feature among the predecessor. After a long time producing the series, until the 9th ones, finally, Mitsubishi added the newest engine. It has an internal code 4B11T. It is the absolute monster for its new evolution.

This unit still comes with the 2 liters, aluminum cylinder block which the predecessor came with the cast iron and it has the turbocharged inline-four. As a result, the car comes 12 kg lighter. Besides, the newest Evo 10 comes with the timing chain and featured with MIVEC valve-timing for exhaust and intake valves.

Compared to the previous Evos that were supported with automatic transmission, the Evo 10 comes with dual-clutch unite and dubbed TC SST. It comes also with the six ratios and has 276bhp X so it can reach 62mh only in 5.2 sec with its 1540kg. Yes, it adds 140 kg compared to its IX generation.

Furthermore, a collection of the advanced electronic systems are added which are under the Super All Wheel Control. This incorporates the Active Yaw Control, ABS, the stability control system and so on. It also comes with 30mm wider track with 40% stiffer in torsional rigidity. However, the engine was lighter and it is positioned 10% lower.

The Downside of Mitsubishi Evo 10

Apart from its new technology, there are some weaknesses which might be very disappointing because this is the final series we can enjoy.

Sounds

The last variant of Evo has 4 cylinder engine with its 2L displacement. So, we cannot expect more from it. It doesn’t get any improvement which sounds like the regular Lancer.

Interior

Personally, the dashboard is not the favorite thing with the poor plastic material which this might be for saving money in production. The steering wheel is far from the sports car look and compared to the ninth generation of Lancer Evo. For the speedo and its rpm gauge are too big. There is no point for having the huge gauges which are basically to show you the speed and the RPM. This is very aesthetics!

The Design

The design might be purely a subjective thing. Well, the Evo series has gone through a lot of changes but it is basically with the same feature in some parts. Looking at the front end, it still holds the Evo, but the rear end. At the front one, Mitsubishi kept their iconic look with huge intercooler hole and its long stretched headlights hood vent.

Apart from those downsides and the strengths, we should accept that we will not see another Evo series. Mitsubishi made it the end of the Lancer Evo series. So, personally, we all hate the final goodbye that we will not see another improvement in this car. Not anymore.

This car was introduced to the global market in April 2005 at the International Suto Show, New York. A month earlier, the Lancer Evo 9 for sale California had been released in the European market.

How Is The Performance of Used 2012 Audi R8?

Driving

Even though driving with the least powerful engine, 430-horsepower V8, this series still feels responsive. It doesn’t need the downshifting very often. Interestingly, we like the sheer sound of the V10 engine in its R8 5.2 and also its acceleration is great. The V8-powered R8 can reach up to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and the V10 version can hit interesting result with just 3.7 seconds.

Exterior

This is the best part of this car. Audi was supported with a black fabric power-folding top which you can open or close in just 19 seconds while your car is traveling at 31 mph. It is protected by the carbon fiber cover. There is also a cool “sideblade” with its contrasting color and LED lights.

Engines
