As for the layout and engine the Rolls Royce Wraith is equipped with front-engine, with rear wheel drive, and a 402.3cu twin-turbo V12 engine. And the Rolls Royce Wraith is equipped with a 8-speed automatic transmission, and as for the platform the Wraith has a BMW F01.

2015 Corvette Z06 C7

The 2015 Corvette Z06 or the C7 was manufactured by General Motors in 2013 till present day. And the C7 was designed by Ed Welburn, Kirk Benion, and Tom Peters. The C7 is assembled in Bowling King, Kentucky of the United States. The C7 was first reveled at 7pm EST on January 13, 2013 at the Detroit Auto Show. The car was originally to be released in 2011 but instead they changed it to 2013. As for some of the awards the car won were Automobile of the year 2014 from Automobile Magazine and also Performance Car of the Year 2013 by Road and Track. The new model of the C7 for 2015 was showed at the 2014 North American International Auto Show. The new C7 is equipped with a 6.2L supercharged LT4 engine with a 1.7L Eaton R1740 TVS supercharger, that produces 650hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. Also the C7 has Hyra-Matic 8L90 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. And also it comes with two choices for the seats which are 2 magnesium GT seats or 2 competition sport seats. The C7 also comes with carbon ceramic-matrix brake disk If wished. The C7 will go on sale in January 2015 and the price is set at $78,995, which to me is not that bad of a price for what your getting. I like the new C7 because its a whole new breed of the Corvette it still has the look of a Corvette but a more aggressive and imitating look to it. The reason why I think it looks aggrieve is because of the shape of the head lights are sharp looking as if they pierce right through you, and the front grill has what looks to be a grin or a smirk on the car. Inviting you to try and control the beast within it. Personally I never really liked the corvettes that came before this one but to me this is a start of a new era of the Corvette. 

1968-1970 Ford Mustang

  The 1968-1970 Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford Motor Company, and also the introduction of the Mustang created a new class of car known as a pony car. The Ford Mustang was designed by Gale Halderman and was produced from July 1968 till June 1970.  The Mustang was assembled in various places such as Dearborn, Michigan, Milpitas, California, Metuchen, New Jersey, Valencia, Venezuela, and Mexico City, Mexico. As for the bodystyle and the chassis the Ford Mustang came in three different styles the first one was a 2-door hardtop. The second one was a 2-door fastback which was one of the most popular one, and the third one was a 2-door convertible. And then there was the special and rare model was the Shelby. As for the engine and transmission the Ford Mustang had multiple different types of engines going from a 200 cu in 3.3L Thriftpower I6 to a 429 cu in 7.0L Boss V8. And the transmissions were a 3-speed manual, 4-speed manual, and a 3-speed automatic. The 1968-1970 Ford Mustangs were built for racing in NASCAR and were created to meet the Trans Am rules and regulations. The reason on why I chose this car for my blog is because this is one of the coolest Mustangs that I have ever seen Ford build, and also im not really a Mustang person. Meaning if I was given the option of choosing a Mustang or Camaro I would have to go with the Camaro. So the reason why I like this Mustang is because of the shape of the body with its air scoop and the NASCAR-style cable pin tiedowns on the hood and the wood trimmed dashboard and steering wheel.

1968-1969 Chevrolet Corvette C3

 

  The 1968-1969 Chevrolet Corvette or also known as the C3 was the third generation of the original Corvette. The class of car that the C3 is a sports car, and it was produced by the Chevrolet Division of  General Motors. The C3 was designed by Zora Arkus Dontov the chief engineer and Bill Mitchel the chief stylist. The C3 was assembled in  St. Louis, Missouri from 68-81 and also in Bowling Green, Kentucky from 81-82. The bodystyle of the C3 is a 2-door convertible or a 2-door coupe, with the layout of a FR layout. The FR stands for the engine is located in the front of the car and the wheels rotate from the rear or the back of the car. As for the engine the C3 is equipped with a 350 cu in 5.7L small block V8. And the reason why Chevrolet put a small block in the C3 instead of a big block was because the big block threw of the weight ratio and also because it wouldn't fit in the car. The transmission for the C3 is a 3-speed automatic or if preferred the C3 can also have a 4-speed manual transmission. As for some of the unique features the C3 possessed were the removable roof panels also known as the T-top with the removable rear window. Also the concealed headlights that could be operated with a button, and also the new Astro Ventalation air conditioner used to cool down the cabin. The reason why I chose this car is because of the edgy look of the car its a look that draws you in. The C3 looks like a jet with is low dipping sharp hood and its rear spoiler rising and then lowering as you reach the end of it. To me this car is a classic example of what a Corvette is a all about with a look that will turn heads and an engine that makes people jump back in fear. Also the cool ventilation gills on the side of the car that makes it really look like a real stingray, and also with the gaping mouth in the front.

1973 Second generation Z28 Chevy Camaro

 The 1973 Z28 Chevy Camaro or also known as the "Super Hugger'' because of its ability to take sharp corner turns at incredible speeds and still make the turn. The Z28 is the successor of the first generation of the 1967 Camaro but, the second generation of the Z28 is built with the same unibody of the first generation Camaro. The only difference between the two models is that the second generation was built more for comfort and performance. The 1973 Camaro was manufactured by the General Motors and The Chevrolet  Division, they were assembled in Van Nuys California and Norwood Ohio. As for the class of the car the 1973 Z28 Camaro can be a pony car or muscle car depending on the engine of the car. The 1973 Z28 has the bodystyle of a 2-door coupe meaning it only seats two people, also for the layout the Z28 is equipped with an FR-layout meaning the engine is located in the front of the car and it drives from the rear. The engine of the Z28 is a 350cu inch 5.7L V8 that produces 245hp, as for the transmission the Z28 has a 3-speed automatic or 4-speed manual if preferred. In my opinion the Z28 shows the original true heart that all muscle cars have, and that is why the 1973 Z28 Chevy Camaro is one of my top favorite muscle cars that were ever built. The reason why I said the Z28 has the true heart of a muscle car is because of the way the body is presented with the W-shaped hood and the gaping mouth of the grill that looks as if it could sallow you whole, and also the bulging of every muscle on the cars body showing how strong it is. To me this is truly the idea of a muscle car, its tough looking with a loud and powerful engine, that in anyone's hands or control would make them feel like a kid in a candy store. That is also why I chose this car to talk about this week.
