The CAM Journal – 194.8 mph

by Mustangjohnny

194.8mph in a Monte CarloThe title for this month’s article is the fastest speed I have traveled in an automobile. High speed auto travel has always fascinated me. From when I was a wide eyed 10 year old car nut, to now as I push the envelope with my car on track.
The record speed was achieved in 1997, in a purpose built race car and I was NOT driving, but a passenger. I had been in Las Vegas by myself for the day attending a Mustang club get together and was headed back to St. George for dinner with my family. As I approached the almost completed Las Vegas Motor Speedway, I decided to poke my head around and take a look at the progress they were making. (more…)

The Next…Mitsubishi Eclipse

by Trent

We are introducing a new segment called, “The Next…” This involves our predictions on what will replace the stalwart in the segment. Starting us off is the Mitsubishi Eclipse. It offers cheap power, AWD, somewhat sketchy reliability depending on who you talk to, and great looks. The next Mitsubishi Eclipse could have been the next Mitsubishi Eclipse, but with the introduction of the 3rd Generation, it went bigger, FWD only, and no turbo option. Just a 2.4L 4-cylinder that left a lot to be desired, and a 200HP V6 that also was lacking. So what could possibly be the next car to replace its dominance in the import scene? (more…)

Genuflection: Ferrari Testarossa

by Trent

Ferrari Testarossa

Genuflection:
gen·u·flec·tion
/ˌdʒɛnyʊˈflɛkʃən/ [jen-yoo-flek-shuhn]
–noun
an act of bending the knee or touching it to the ground in reverence or worship.

Nothing is quite so striking as a Ferrari. Especially when the world is used to Camry’s and Minivans. I was reminded of this as I ran into(not literally) a childhood dream car over the weekend. It was a Red on Red Ferrari Testarossa. It has the updated 512TR wheels, but it was classic Testarossa. And I was lusting after it in spite of it’s many flaws. (more…)
