Not much is known of this car, beyond that it exists in North Korea for some reason. Judging from the odd placement of the mirrors on the fenders, it can be assumed that this Lincoln began life as a Japanese-market car. There are unconfirmed reports that there were some car dealers in the 70’s and 80’s from Japan who would do some side business on the down-low with North Korea, importing specific cars ordered by the country and sneaking them over, meaning this fits the narrative of certain people. It also appears that the limo conversion was done before being shipped out of America, as some people claim to recognize the mark of coachbuilder Moloney from Illinois.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/picture-10.jpgPicture 10It is unknown if the Rolls Royce pictured here actually belongs to North Korea, but Kim Jong-un recently used it as transportation during an international summit in Singapore. Those S600 Pullman’s may have given Kim a taste of the high-life he can’t ignore now. There is a possibility that Kim borrowed the car from a Singaporean business partner, as the city-state still trades with North Korea.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/picture-121.jpgPicture 12The S600 Pullman Guard Limousines pictured here as well as above ended up in North Korea recently to be used by the Kim family and other very important people within the Hermit Kingdom. While some have been retained as state armored transports, others have been modified into parade transports, as this one has. Mercedes claims to not have any knowledge on how they arrived in the Kingdom.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/picture-4.jpgPicture 4Sometimes people are more equal than others. Pictures of this North Korean Hummer H2 are pretty prevalent on the internet, although the source of the vehicle is not known. There is speculation that a South Korean brought it into the jointly North-South run Kaesong Industrial Region, where it got overlooked in some of the drama that occurred there.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/picture-13.jpgPicture 13https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/combined-2-and-3.jpgCombined 2 and 3https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/picture-1.pngPicture 1Not only does Kim ride in an armored limo, any attackers would have to get through his human barrier as well. 2018-12-21T15:57:28+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2018/12/10/cars-north-korea-should-never-have-sources/2018-12-18T02:37:02+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2018/12/14/mustang-base-to-beast-update-1-so-it-begins/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Cobb.jpgCobbSo much from something so simple. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Wheels-and-Brakes.jpgWheels and BrakesThis potato-photo shows my new wheels and the brakes they were meant to fit.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Steeda-Spring.jpgSteeda SpringThis spring makes the car so much better to drive.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/DSC_3594.jpgDSC_35942018-12-14T02:30:19+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2018/12/17/my-favorite-photos-so-far/2018-12-08T00:48:45+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2018/12/07/2018-mustang-ecoboost-zero-option-base-model-what-are-the-plans/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/dsc_3596.jpgDSC_3596These wheels, as you may have noticed, are different than the stock wheels pictured at the top of the article.

The ultra-rare AMG Hammer and SL720 are the only other offerings to top this one on my "want" list.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/amg-badge.jpgamg-badgeComing to the forefront in recent years, the acronym AMG denotes Mercedes-Benz's high-performance models. AMG stands for Aufrecht Melcher Grossaspach. While German enough to be confusing, the name is actually quite simple, with the first two words being the last names of the ex-Mercedes employees who started the company, while the last being the birthplace of Herr Aufrecht. Originally started as a racing engine foundry in 1967, they operated as an independent tuning/engineering firm until Mercedes bought a controlling share of the stock in 1999. In 2005, Mercedes completed the AMG purchase, and as such AMG has become a full factory affair. While the focus has moved to encompass the entire range of performance, great attention to detail is still spent on the unique engines, keeping with the traditions of the company.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/new-gti.jpgnew-gtiThe most recent GTI iteration, it has been, is, and probably always will be a safe hot hatchback choice.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/orig-gti.pngorig-gtiAnother long-lived acronym synonymous with performance is Volkswagen's (and to an extent Europe’s) acronym of GTI. With usual German efficiency, GTI has a simple meaning; ‘Grand Touring Injection’. Volkswagen changes the last letter to signify engine choice, with the petrol offering being labeled GTI, the diesel GTD, and the electric GTE. The slightly more luxury focused sedan models are labeled GLI. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ss-model.jpgss-modelTo add confusion to a two-letter acronym, Chevrolet now offers the SS sedan model line.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/impala-ss-badge.jpgimpala-ss-badgeChevrolet was one of the first to pick a performance acronym, and have stuck with it. Debuting on the 1961 Impala, the SS, or Super Sport, trim level represented major performance upgrades over standard trim levels. This trend continues to this day.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/srt-10.jpgsrt-10With the 500bhp 8.3L V10 out of a Viper, the Ram SRT-10 is my favorite offering from the company. While most commonly equipped with a 4-speed automatic, for true crazy, a 6-speed manual is on offerhttps://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/srt-badge.jpgsrt-badgeOne of the newest American motorsport acronyms, SRT stands for Street and Racing Technology. Known for putting really big engines in whatever their parent company throws at them, SRT offerings are known for big speed. SRT as a brand did not exist until 2004, with previous SRT models being developed by a succession of teams. Originally developing cars under the name Special Vehicle Engineering (SVE), this team was itself a melding of “Team Viper” and “Team Prowler”, to focus internal effort by Mopar. At some point, SVE was turned into Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO), before finally morphing into the current SRT brand (which most previous models had already been released as).https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/svt-raptor.jpgsvt-raptorThe F-150 based Raptor is a factory off-road racer.

Most electric cars feature a separate ‘chassis’ undertray, like the Tesla Model X chassis pictured above. This allows new bodies to be dropped on top, which if you are Tesla allows quick recharges on the go. For designers like Icon in Los Angeles, it represents a blank canvas, where concepts like the above Helios—from Icon—might one day take shape. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ringbrothers.jpgringbrothersSome modern custom-car companies tread the line between part supplier, assembler, and outright coachbuilder. One such is the small American outfit, Ringbrothers. While known for their crazy designs, attention to detail, and willingness to work with almost anything American, they recently dipped their tows into coachbuilding with their Espionage Mustang. Looking back to body-on-frame construction of the 1960’s the Ringbrothers crafted a new body for the Mustang out of carbon fiber, and featuring a widebody. While forced to utilize old cars, this does not make it any less a feat of coachbuilding. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/vanquish-zagato.jpgvanquish-zagatoA coachbuilding company which went down the same road—much more successfully—is Zagato. An Italian design firm known for the beautiful designs they produce, Zagato has spent the last few decades partnering with luxury marques to make special edition models. The most well-known of these corporate relations is Aston Martin, who lets Zagato have considerable design freedom. When you see the results, such as the 2015 Vanquish Zagato pictured above, it is easy to see why. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/citroen-visa-cabriolet-01.jpgcitroen-visa-cabriolet-01With the unibody construction method, came the end of coachbuilding as it was. Bodies could no longer be taken off and thrown away, and as such those coachbuilders who wished to survive started to partner with manufactures for special editions. This led to some compromises dictated by the corporations and their need for mass-market profits, resulting in some unfortunate designs. One such is the Heuliez company, which finished its years in the automotive world taking small Citroen hatchbacks and turning them into convertibles, such as this Visa model.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/real-talbot-combined.pngreal-talbot-combinedAs mentioned, the end of the Second World War also saw the end of coachbuilding as a normal social practice. One of the last examples is this 1947 Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport chassis bodied by Saoutchik , which served as a last hurrah. While Talbot did body other T26 cars—quite beautifully—the Grand Sport had to be bodied by the customer. Perhaps sensing their demise, the coachbuilders used the resulting chassis’ to showcase some of the most elegant designs ever, in my opinion. This Saoutchik bodied model is my personal favorite. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/caddy-v16-1930-roadster-by-fleetood.pngcaddy-v16-1930-roadster-by-fleetoodCadillac in the 1930’s was full of American can-do attitude, and when they wanted a car to compete with the other large, 12-cylinder models on the market, they turned to that other, time-honored American practice: more is more. With this in mind, a 16 cylinder engine was introduced, and proved very popular with the rich and famous. This example was bodied by Fleetwood and turns the 16-cylinder monster into a two-seater roadster. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/alfa-8c.jpghttp://www.autogaleria.hu -This 1937 Alfa 8C showcases the other benefit to coachbuilding: any chassis can be used. Underneath this lovely body—with its louvered rear wheel well and extra-long bonnet—is a winning Alfa Romeo Grand Prix chassis, proven in competition. While the builders chose the grand-tour style body currently chosen, a sedan or convertible could just as easily been built on top of the Grand Prix-class chassis. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/eclipses.pngeclipsesPeugeot has long stood by its French brethren in the automotive world with their quirky designs. My favorite example were the coach-built ‘Eclipse’ versions of the 401 and 402 coupes. About 70 were produced in total, and they featured a downright futuristic retractable hard-top roof, stowed in its entirety in the trunk. This is an example of a coach-built car being used as a means of introducing new technology. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/spyker-c4.jpgspyker-c4The Spyker C4 is a rare example where the body was built by the same company as the running gear—Spyker themselves. While technically not a coach-built car, the Spyker company had to be included due to their origins building the Danish Royal Carriage—they are literally coach builders. The C4 is the perfect car to showcase Spyker, as it not only is the first car to feature four-wheel drive, but also has the distinction of sharing a Maybach engine with a Zeppelin from World War I. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/packard-custom-8.jpgpackard-custom-8This car is included less to showcase the style offered by coachbuilding, and more to show the sheer ridiculousness possible. At 12ft between the wheels, the chassis of the Custom Eight is more akin to the size of a modern day Suburban XL or Expedition XL. Yet through the choice of the owner, and the style of coachbuilding, a four-door, long-bonnet, convertible sedan was possible. While this picture does not do the size justice, this is a truly massive car. 2017-01-04T00:49:33+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2016/12/25/merry-christmas-and-happy-holidays-tst-is-taking-a-break/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/mos.jpgmos2016-12-26T17:53:15+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2016/12/23/desktop-drives-planned-mods-to-the-fiesta-st-within-warranty/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/mp215.pngmp215A simple kit with dramatic results.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/dyno.pngdynoMountune's own Dyno graph from their website.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/brakes.pngbrakesA surprising amount of kit for such a little car.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/qsk.pngqskDoesn't look like much but this is the Quick Shift Kit.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/drop.pngdropMountune's car, featuring the suspension drop.

Strange.2016-12-02T03:27:29+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2016/11/01/7-worst-and-strange-cup-holders/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/voyager.jpgvoyagerWhile it may seem odd, the first 'car of the people' to feature cup holders did not come to market until 1983, with the Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager twins. While luxury cars before them often featured full bars, they were often deployed, or hidden in a compartment. The mini-van craze started the public on their desire for the useful convenience of a cup holder. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/solstise.jpgsolstiseThis might be the worst cup holder on this list. It almost appears that Pontiac tried to blur the line between no cup holder like the LFA--perhaps for sporting pretensions--and a deploy-able, fancy one like the more European offerings. What results is a small cup holder, placed behind the driver. Not only does the driver have to reach behind themselves, in most instances they would be using their left hands to reach across themselves. And speaking of knocking drinks with elbows...https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/lexus-lfa-customizable-interior.jpglexus-lfa-customizable-interiorThe Lexus LFA is one of the cars that got me started on this train of thought. Top Gear (U.K.) raced across the South-Western United States, in a Viper, an Aston-Martin, and an LFA. During the customary ribbing between the hosts, the fact that the LFA didn't have a cup holder came up. Not only did all three hosts think this was ridiculous in a modern car, so did I. While there certainly appears to be room for a cup holder in the interior, it turns out many limited-edition, track-focused cars come so unequipped. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/svt-combined.jpgsvt-combinedThe Focus SVT is an underrated gem. While I may be a bit biased due to owning one, I will freely admit that there are things wrong with it: Primarily the cup holders. The SVT Focus is given a unique center console, which not only deletes the armrest for both front seats (Shown on left transplanted into SVT Focus), but replaces them with two shallow cup holders. While it may sound useful, the 170hp hot Zetec motor will almost immediately tip over any drinks placed within them. In the end, I have personally taken to using them as storage. I can't help but wishing I had a center console instead. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/frs-combined.jpgfrs-combinedThis is a case of a fairly neat design, executed poorly. The Scion/Toyota/Subaru triplets feature modular cup holders placed behind the shifter between the seats. While this allows for cool custom stuff, it means every time you go for a spirited drive, and try to grab 4th gear, your drink gets propelled into the backseat. Less than ideal, although you can always drink bottled drinks. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/combined-fiat.jpgcombined-fiat Fiat took the 'small-car' idea of the 500 city car a step too far for their cup holder design in the 500 before MY2015. While the picture on the left certainly looks like the cup holders might be functional, and even feature neat extra cubbies, the small-size of the car messes with the perspective. Trying to put an average American beverage in it shows the flaws. In fact, beyond small water bottles and cans of soda, the cup holders are fairly useless. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/saab-9-3-cup-holder-624x828.jpgsaab-9-3-cup-holder-624x828Continuing the trend of dashboard deploy-able cup holders, Saab (may they rest in peace) was known for their odd cup holders. The Saab 9-3 is pictured, and while functional, and less prone to breakage than the BMW's, they are still overly complicated in my opinion. Just another thing to break. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/bimmer.jpgbimmerThe cup holders in the BMW E9X generation of 3-series featured retractable dashboard cup holders. While fully functional, and actually pretty neat, such a set-up not only means the passenger cup holder is distressingly distant, but passengers can very easily break either one with their knee upon entry (speaking from expensive experience). https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/banner.jpgbannerCup holders 2016-12-02T03:26:22+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2016/11/03/3-favorite-manufactures-from-sema-2016/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/header.jpgheaderhttps://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/mg_0172-876x535.jpgmg_0172-876x535Just sit and stare.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/mg_0171-876x535.jpgmg_0171-876x535While the car called “Shangri-La” is not from a manufacturer per se, I had to include it. It is stunning, and the craftsmanship is apparent even with just a glance. The ‘manufacturer’ in question is a Kustom car builder named Rick Dore. Mr. Dore is by no means an amateur, and if you have not heard of him or seen his work, I highly recommend you take a click over to his website here. This particular blessing to the car world is modeled on cars from Pre-War France, and is made up of hand-formed aluminum panels, currently unpainted. Even in images, the scale of such a project is staggering. The chrome brightwork provides just enough flair from the bare aluminum, following the lines of the car impeccably. With perfectly chosen wheels and tires to complete the image, this is as close to utopia as a car can get. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/2016-hyundai-sema-lineup-106-876x535.jpg2016-hyundai-sema-lineup-106-876x535Not everything at SEMA is designed to go faster on pavement, and in keeping with the off-road themes of the show, Hyundai has also teamed with Rockstar to create this off-road capable Santa Fe. While certainly not as dramatic as the “Santa-Fast”, this Santa Fe nonetheless stands out from the crowd with its lifted suspension and meaty 35in tires on bead lock wheels. A roof rack and light bar complete the butch exterior, especially when paired with Rockstar’s vinyl wrap. Oh, and just so Rockstar couldn’t be accused of slacking on the ‘energy’ so to speak, it features a nitrous-oxide injection system as well on the otherwise stock engine. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/2016-hyundai-sema-lineup-104-876x535.jpg2016-hyundai-sema-lineup-104-876x535Stock, the Hyundai Veloster (L) and the Elantra (R) are not something tuners normally drool over. Despite this, Hyundai is trying to show that they are ‘hip’ and ‘cool’ by making modified offerings of each. Surprisingly, it actually has worked. By working with two tuning shops—Gurnade for the Veloster and Ark Performance for the Elantra—they made two economy cars into two quick offerings, that tick all the right visual boxes for a show like SEMA. The Veloster is modified mostly in the form of suspension and chassis upgrades. While the 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder does get a tune and other engine work, the real magic is in the flared body fenders, massive wings, and serious wheels and tires. Speaking of magic, the amazing purple color is officially labeled Magic Magenta. Neat. The Elantra on the right has been dubbed Road Racer concept, and features a custom turbo kit for extra oomph, as well as a full suspension and brake build for handling said oomph. The real stunner is the surprisingly-great looking body kit, which—in my opinion—seals the deal, and earns it that Road Racer name.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/hyundai-santa-fe-bisimoto-101-876x535.jpghyundai-santa-fe-bisimoto-101-876x535Hyundai might not be known for making the most exciting of production cars, but they have consistently delivered to enthusiast fans over the years, with some amazing concepts shown at SEMA. Above is the wildest to be presented by Hyundai. While it started life as a Hyundai Santa Fe crossover, Hyundai handed it over to genius builder of the crazy, Bisi Ezerioha and his outfit Bisimoto. He created what he dubbed the “Santa-Fast”. And fast it is. Of course, it has suspension, wheels, brakes, and all the normal build list stuff, but the star of the show is a 3.8L Lambda aluminum V6 from Hyundai. With the help of two turbochargers draped on the motor, this V6 is able to produce an almost-unbelievable 1040bhp. To handle the power, yet keep within the Hyundai parts bin, power is sent through a Genesis R-spec 6-speed manual to a rear-end stolen from the Equus leftovers. With plenty of custom fabricated parts to handle the power, it is almost laughable that they shod the rear wheels with 265mm section width tires. While going straight might be hard, with 1040bhp, does it really matter, with the smile that would be on your face? https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/crate-engine.pngcrate-engineUnless you are a Dodge owner, this is less exciting news, and more just a tidbit. FCA used SEMA to announce they are bringing new 345 (5.7L) and 392 (6.4L) cubic inch crate motors to market for classic cars. For classic Dodge/Chrysler owners, this means that doing a resto-mod within the brand has become much easier. No more Chevrolet LS’s in Chargers and Challengers! For current owners of Gen III HEMI motors, this hopefully means the aftermarket will start to produce more parts, and make modifying a HEMI less of a daunting task. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/combined-shakedown.jpgcombined-shakedownModern muscle car makers would like you to think that they design their cars not only to look good but also to harken back to the good ol’ days of Muscle Cars in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Dodge is trying to bring this point home by playing the game a little backwards: They have put a modern front grill/headlight assembly, rear bumper, and shaker hood, on a classic 1971 Dodge Challenger they have labeled Shakedown. While this sounds like a recipe to bloat up a classic Challenger, all the parts actually look really grand on the car. If Dodge’s goal was to visually connect their classic car with the modern offering, it certainly worked, and I can’t help but think this recipe of new-parts-old-car would not work as well for Chevy or Ford. Good on Dodge.2016-12-02T03:25:01+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2016/11/15/arrinera-hussarya-polands-racetrack-revival/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/header-2.jpgheader-2https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/header4.jpgheader2016-12-02T03:24:04+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2016/11/21/join-the-tribe-at-drivetribe/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/header-for-blog.jpgheader-for-blog2016-12-02T03:23:08+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/2016/11/25/happy-thanksgiving-no-desktop-drives/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/turkey-car.jpgturkey-car2016-12-02T03:22:32+00:00monthlyhttps://thespeedtrap.net/featured-content/2016-12-02T03:18:31+00:00weekly0.6https://thespeedtrap.net/2016/11/28/history-hits-early-history-of-the-steering-wheel/https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/horse-drawn-cart.jpghorse-drawn-cartA small American cart, still featuring two horseshttps://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/prise_de_la_bastille.jpgprise_de_la_bastilleIt is easy to see why you would adjust to walking/riding on the righthttps://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/english-road.jpgenglish-roadThe swordsman here demonstrates the logic https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/panhard-levassor.pngpanhard-levassor1894 Panhard-Levassor pre-steering wheelhttps://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/seldon-patent.pngseldon-patentGeorge Seldon's patent drawinghttps://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/la-mancelle.jpgla-mancelleLa' Mancelle in all of its almost-three ton gloryhttps://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/reliant.jpgreliantAlways worth a watch.

Featuring a 2.3L Ecoboost 4cylinder and AWD, it may seem like an odd contender. However, the boys at Ford have tweaked the software and installed a 'Drift Button’ allowing easy, controlled drifts—on a closed course of course.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/264972_15fordmustang_74_hr.jpg264972_15fordmustang_74_hrLike the Camaro, Ford is not one to miss a market with the Mustang, offering convertible body styles for most trim levels.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/290160_2015-mustangs-at-the-ranch-002.jpg290160_2015-mustangs-at-the-ranch-002Since the beginning of the Mustang, the big V8 GT's have gotten the press, while the more economy minded trim levels have made the money. This used to mean that grandma's Mustang came with a inline-6 or other engine producing piddling power, connected to some trash like a 2-speed automatic. The days of econo-Mustangs being awful is over, with a V6 and 2.3L straight-4 powering these ‘lesser models’. With each engine making over 300hp, Ford now makes a Mustang for everybody that they can actually be proud to put the badge on. https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/347081_2016-chevrolet-camaro-convertible-023.jpg347081_2016-chevrolet-camaro-convertible-023For those who want to taste and smell the rubber as they drift around corners, the Camaro is offered in a convertible in almost every trim level and special edition.https://thespeedtrap.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/363511_2016-chevrolet-camaro-044.jpg363511_2016-chevrolet-camaro-044The logic continues here: if the big engine versions are good, maybe the base ones are as well.
