Chevrolet introduced the L-78 396 Corvette in February 1965. This is a Christmas Eve 12-24-64 casting. The finalized part number was stamped in the square pad of the casting. This manifold was extensively ported and runners were balanced by Jay Cotton. With a modified Holley 950cfm HP, my 538cid made an astonishing 831 horsepower. Original dyno sheet included. The sleeper engine with this dual plane intake and a 200 hp small nitrous plate propelled the vette to an 8.65 @ 158 quarter mile at Bakersfield 3 years ago with huge wheel stands.

Mini Countryman (2010): first official pictures
Wed, 20 Jan 2010This is the Mini Countryman, the fourth addition to Mini’s range – after the regular three-door hatch, the Convertible and the Clubman – and also the first current-generation Mini to have four-wheel drive and four regular passenger doors. No, Mini says the Countryman is a crossover, and the four-wheel drive system – called Mini All4 – is an option. Think of the Countryman as a slightly bigger and more practical Clubman with a longer wheelbase than other Minis, four proper doors and a conventional lift-up rear hatch, but to make sure it looks a bit more butch Mini has given the Countryman a bigger, bluffer nose than its siblings.
New fuel-economy labels will baffle buyers, survey says
Wed, 06 Oct 2010A survey released this week suggests that revised fuel economy labels proposed by federal regulators will confuse many likely car buyers -- and will emphasize the wrong information. The branding strategy firm Siegel+Gale performed an independent online survey of 456 people over the age of 18 who intended to buy a car in the next three years. Founder Alan Siegel told Automotive News that the survey was not directly requested but has been sent to the EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration during the ongoing public comment period.

And it’s not as far flung as it looks. Its designers told CAR Online that this concept wasn’t about the external design, but rather the way the project was conceived and built.
