Now I can add a trained, performing ballerina to my resume. Kimberly’s boyfriend volunteered the info to me. Kimberly was much too modest. By day Kimberly handles international freight in Virginia Beach Va,harbour. By night Kimberly trains and dances ballet in the Virginia Beach Ballet Co.

Now when someone gives you trouble about spending your time on such a mindless and shallow web site as AmericanCarsAmericanGirls.com you can rebut with  AmericanCarsAmericanGirls.com’s link to the performing art of dance, in one form or another.

Rules changes for 2012 are what opened the door. Previously the IRL series was dominated by Honda power. The new Chevy engine is an aluminum-block-and-heads’ turbo charged, direct injection, V-6 that will displace 2.4 liters and perform double duty as a stressed member of the chassis.

Chevy will provide the engine to any teams that wish to purchase it, though Team Penske is already signed up. The engines will slot into the new-for-2012 Dallara chassis. Honda will continue to provide engines. IRL still hopes for a third engine manufacturer, such as Fiat, wearing either the Alfa Romeo or Ferrari brand.

For me this puts a whole new meaning to the 2012 Indy Car season.

Below we have General Motors vice chairman Tom Stephens, Team Penske owner Roger Penske and Team Penske driver Helio Castroneves on the front straight of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, prior to announcing that Chevrolet will compete in the 2012 IndyCar Series with a new twin-turbocharged, direct-injection V6.

From Mustang’s inception in 1964 several performance options had existed in the form of the factory 289′s but the higher performance Mustangs were modified and built by the legendary Carroll Shelby. 1969 was the benchmark year for the  Mustang when Ford begin producing high performance Mustangs in house. No less than 7 factory performance Mustang models were available:Boss 302, Boss 429, Shelby GT350, GT500 and of course the Mach 1. 

Mach1 – 1st gen:1969-70,  2nd gen: 1971-73,    3rd gen: 1974-1978,  4th gen: 2003-04

I was reading the 12/11 issue of Grass-roots Motorsport magazine and ran across this great article about a company called Renegade Hybrids. They are quite possibly the coolest, spit in their face company that I have ever ran across. They install Chevy LS series engines into 911/930, 914, 928, 944/951/968 and 996 Porsches. Why? Because the Prosche engines are so expensive to replace. The LS series engines are not only less expensive but have proven more reliable and given better performance than the Porsche engines they have replaced. I love it!!

Once again I site the Immigration law of 1968 that states that if a foreign car has a tranplanted Chevy, Ford or MOPAR engine that car is classified as an AmericanCar.

The lead picture is a Renegade Hybrid 911 Porsche.

The new news is that there will be no 2013 Dodge Viper but there will be a 2013 SRT Viper. Chrysler Corp is working to transform SRT into a brand of exclusive vehicles to compete with the likes of BMW, Lexus and Mercedes-Benz when it comes to performance and exclusivity. The SRT stands for Street and Racing Technology that was used by the Dodge to brand their highest level performance cars.

The newest Viper won’t be riding on a modified Alfa Romeo or Ferrari platform, as rumored. Don’t forget Chrysler Corp. is owned by Alfa Romeo. The Pentastar has said while there may be some similarities to the Alfa Romeo Competizone 8C the new Viper will make use of entirely unique underpinnings and will carry significantly different proportions compared to the Alfa 8C. Part of that means doing away with the snake’s iconic long hood in favor of a design with a little more balance.

The Mopar super car won’t utilize a Ferrari engine for its power, also rumored. However, Chrysler’s spokes person stopped short of saying whether or not the old 640 horsepower V10 will survive the vehicle’s rebirth. That means that a new engine may surface, though the number of cylinders and how much horsepower it will produce remain a mystery. My prediction is the current Viper 8 liter V10 with Alfa/Ferrari direct injection technology, maybe 800 naturally aspirated hp

We have included pictures of the last model Dodge Viper(leas picture), a picture of the current Alfa Competizone 8C and the  last picture is a “spy” picture of the 2013 SRT Viper. One thing for sure is that the old Dodge front style grill will be gone. The spy picture does show that.
