Callaway and their Corvette packages have always taken us by surprise every time they announce a new iteration of what Corvette has blessed us with. According to their official press release that various forums and fans on Facebook got the privilege of seeing earlier today (July 28, 2015) Callaway has taken the 2015 Corvette Z06 and produced their most powerful Corvette to date. The 2015 Callaway Corvette makes a whopping 757 HP and 777 lb-ft of torque (a stock Z06 has 650 HP/650lb-ft of torque.) In case you’re too lazy to do the arithmetic, that’s an increase of 107 HP/127 lb-ft of torque.

Well, it’s not a landspeeder, but it’ll do.
A Pennsylvania man had this 1974 Corvette airbrushed into a driving Star Wars poster in the late ’70s — and now it’s available on eBay to the highest bidder.
According to the auction, the man — who has since passed away and is not the seller — spent over 1,000 hours on the car.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Gov. Andrew Cuomo paid a brief visit this afternoon to the Syracuse Nationals car show to announce that show organizers had signed a contract to keep the show at the state fairgrounds for at least the next five years.
Cuomo, an avid car enthusiast, spend a few minutes wandering among classic cars inside the fair’s Horticulture Building before conducting a brief news conference with reporters. Then aides rushed him off for a dinner with local government and business leaders.
Cuomo may not have spent much time at the car show, but his blue 1975 Corvette was on display all day in the Center of Progress Building. Cuomo joked with reporters that he was considering having one of the artists at the car show paint pinstripes on his Corvette, which he acquired during college.
Cuomo, whose weakness for American muscle cars [...]
The Power Wagon has been around in various forms going back 60 years, but never has Dodge made one quite like this 1949 Power Wagon.
The original Dodge Power Wagon was introduced in 1945 as a civilian version of Dodge’s military WC series of trucks. Designed as a utility truck, it came standard with four-wheel drive and was powered by a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine.
This truck, however, was handed over to Legacy Classic Trucks in 2012 and turned into the ultimate rock-crawler. As such, it received a dizzying array of suspension modifications, which are all tied into the truck’s bed and roll cage. The original inline-six has been replaced with a modified Chevy LS3 V-8 that’s bolted to heavy-duty running gear. The cab has been chopped two inches, and the truck’s bed is a custom unit.
The truck’s eye-watering $80K asking price is matched [...]
