The 2009 Dowdge Challenger is now underway in North America. The Dodge company says that a reported 500 of this gorgeous vehicle will be unveiling across the states very soon. There are going to be a lot of happy campers out there riding around in this sporty new head-turner.

The BMW M1 Homage is a concept car of the future, unfortunately this beauty will have to wait a little bit longer to be introduced into the world. BMW announced that the M1 will not be going into production, although they did not announce a date on which it will (or if it ever will for that matter) be going into production. See this post Here where we talked about the debute of the M1 BMW.

When the Chevrolet Corvette C6 Z06 went into production in the latter half of 2005, critics everywhere gawked at the unbelievably fast lap times it posted around Germany’s world known track, the Nurburgring. Beating cars more than 5 times it’s own price tag, the C6 Z06 lapped the Nurburgring in just 7:42.99. With a retail price of $70,000, it’s no secret that this car was the best money could buy.

There have been several rumors circulating that have indicated that the 2009 Pontiac G8 GT was going to include a six-speed manual transmission as an option, but Pontiac’s communications manager Jim Hopson has set the record straight. The only transmissions to be offered will be a 5L40 five speed automatic unit for the base models, and a 6L80 six speed automatic for the V8 models.

According to GM, the number of dealers set to receive the new ZR1 will be limited to only 338 dealers, out of 3,932 nation-wide. Only those dealers with the highest proven Corvette sales records will be included in those 338. Even those dealers that were picked are expected to receive only one or two cars each.
