2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country crew cab

There are many different models for this truck ranging from 1500 to 3500, regular cab to crew cab, V-6 to V-8, and LS to LTZ Z71. All different models to fit all different people. The one I'm reviewing will be the highest of them all in the 1500 version. Coming in at 55K for a base price and a 3 year/36000 mile warranty this is a sweet truck. Engine is 5.3 liter V-8 OHV with 355 hp @ 5600 rpm and 383 lb-ft @ 4100 rpm and this model is 4WD. This truck also comes with a 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission and 16/22 mpg with a 26 gal fuel tank. With a towing capacity of a 9,100 to 9,400 which is unbelievably good for only a 1500. Front independent suspension and stabilizer for the rear which will definitely give you complete control over your haul. Like I said this is only the 1500 this same truck goes all the way up to 3500 to handle the bigger loads.

Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster

Well this car is definitely the most expensive I've talked about so far and probably one the most eye catching cars out there today. Only the rich own Lamborghini's so it's very rare that you would even see one if you live in a normal community. Lamborghini has many different models but this model I'm talking about is the top of the line one and it's called the Aventador. This model even has sub models and top of the line sub model I'll be talking about it the LP 750-4 Superveloce Roadster. To afford this car you will need a pretty good job because it comes in at $530,075 MSRP which is around 7 to 8 thousand for a monthly payment if you have good credit. This car has way more cylinders then your normal everyday car. It has a V-12 at 396 cu.in of course these foreign cars don't need a big displacement to achieve high horsepower. The model as around 740 hp @ 8400 rpm and 507 lb-ft @ 5500 rpm to have a top speed of around 217 mph. The car is a 4WD with a 7 speed transmission and a double clutch. So it makes you shift times in a split second. It can reach 0-62 in 2.9 seconds and 0-124 in 8.8 seconds. It has front and rear magnetic suspension for your track racing and dual hydraulic circuit brake system with 6 cylinder brake calipers that can bring you to a dead stop in 31 meters from 62 mph. The mpg isn't to great at 10/17 but this isn't a gas saver so it's not to surprising. A great deal of money to obtain one of these but definitely worth it if you can afford it.

2016 Nissan GTR Nismo

If you're a fan of imports you definitely know about Nissan's top of the line car called the GTR and if you don't know well then you might want to check into. Unlike most new cars that are made best in one or a few specific categories the GTR is made to be perfection. It might not be the fastest car out there but overall is it score pretty high in every single test you throw at it and it's does amazing under pressure. There is even a better version of the GTR family called the Nismo. Now this car is already unbelievable but this version is even better. The MSRP for a regular GTR is around 101K and the Nismo is going to come around 151K. The Nismo comes with a twin turbocharged DOHC 4 valves per cylinder 6 cylinder engine. Aluminium heads and block with port fuel injection. The best thing about these exotic foreign unlike an american car that needs to have a big engine to have a lot of power these cars can produce the same or more amount of power with a smaller engine. The Nismo has only 3799 cc worth of engine but puts out 600 hp @ 6800 rpm and 481 lb-ft @ 3200 rpm which is insane when your engine is only a 3.8 liter. The car comes with a 6 speed dual clutch that is automatic but has a manual shifting mode that can deliver 0-60 times in 2.9 with is AWD drive line that can be switched to only RWD and a top speed of 191. Even can be driven on the street with its 16/23 MPG rating. Might be a little high in the price range to some people but like I said there will never be another car like this one.

2016 Corvette Z06

The new corvette is here with a all new body style because they are currently in the seventh generation called the C7. They're many version of this 2016 like the base or the Z07 but I'll be reviewing the one in the middle called the Z06. With a base price of 84K but can well go over 100k or even 115k this car doesn't come cheap. There is a Z07 option that will add different things like carbon-ceramic brakes and adjustable aero bits but it's just an option and will make your prince go way up towards the 100k mark. The Z06 comes with supercharged 16 valve V-8 aluminum block and heads with direct injections. The engine size is a 6.2 liter and puts out 650 hp for this model @ 6400 rpm and 650 lb-ft @ 3600 rpm. All manual transmission of course because driving this car with an automatic doesn't look right. A real gear head or car guy will always choose the manual because it makes the car more fun to play and really get a better feel of it. This car was even put up against the Nissan GTR NISMO and won believe it or not. With a top speed of 185 and a 0-60 in 3.3 it's a really good track car that you can also make a daily. The car comes with magnetic suspension for a smoother ride and also get 15/22 mpg. Considering the power behind this car that's not a bad deal. This is Chevy top of the line vehicle and always will be so it's definitely worth the money.

2016 Camaro SS vs 2015 Mustang GT

The famous debate is the the Chevy vs Ford one and there top vehicle that are the Camaro and the Mustang. I will be comparing the most recent Camaro release versus the year later Mustang. The SS vs the GT but of course these are not the top models for these cars just the most popular ones. If you just want the base versus of these cars it comes in at a reasonable prices with 37K for the Camaro and 33K for the Mustang. The SS and GT will be a few thousand more of course. The SS comes in with 455 hp @ 6000 rpm  and 455 LB-FT  @ 4400 rpm with a push rod 16 valve 8 cylinder engine. This model comes with  376 cu in's of engine and Automatic transmission for the model I'm describing but you can select your choice. Top speed of 165 and 0 to 60 in 3.9 seconds. Quarter mile time of 12.3 @ 116 mph which isn't to bad at all and the vehicle only weight 3760 pounds which it can stop from 70-0 in 147 feet and its mpg is 16/26. Pull a 91 dBA at full throttle this will car will surely get some attention. The GT comes in at 435 hp @ 6500 rpm and 400 LB-FT @ 4250 with DOHC and 32 valve. This model has a 302 cu in engine and a 6-speed manual. Top speed of 164 and 0-60 in 4.4. It has a 1/4 mile time of 13.0 @ 112 mph and weights 3817 pounds 70-0 in 157 so it can stop you pretty quick in case of an emergency. The MPG is 15/25 which isn't to bad for a sports car this will allow you to drive it around the city without spending that much money but I still wouldn't make it a daily driver. Full throttle for this model comes in at 84 dBA which might be lower then the SS but it will still get people's attention. Both of these cars come in at about the same on every level and both a good choices. The Camaro will always come out on top by a few points though in my opinion.
