"We're all screwed. We're running out of
petroleum and that's going to change life as we know it. You've
already seen the effects. We're paying more than double what we
used to for gas and diesel-and this isn't the end of it, folks.
Not to scare you, but the faster we run out of fuel, the faster
we're going to have to switch from our big-blocks to four-banger
4x4s. Eventually we won't even be running on internal combustion
engines as we know them today. It's only a matter of time...

will net you some increased fuel savings and juice your engine a
little bit as well. Not only can it add horsepower and increase

The King of the Hill has returned! The new Corvette that has been
variously known as the "Blue Devil" and SS for at least the past
five years has now been officially designated as the ZR1. The new
monster from Bowling Green has revived the ZR1 designation for the
first time since the C4-based original faded away in 1995. Stories
and spy photos of this mythical machine have been circulating the
web and print media since well before the current C6 generation
Corvette debuted in 2005.
