The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

America's Last Manual, V8, RWD Sedan Just Got Even Better For 2025

Just last month, GM Authority reported that the Onyx and Onyx Lite Packages will both be dropped from the entire 2025 Cadillac XT5 model lineup. With that in mind, it appears as though the luxury crossover is currently unable to be ordered with three accent packages. GM Authority has learned...

There’s almost nothing better in life than shifting gears as you drive down a tight canyon road or make your way through the turns on a racetrack. The feeling of working the clutch and shifter as the engine reaches the redline in every gear is intoxicating, especially if you happen to be driving a fun sports car or sedan. Unfortunately, the manual transmission seems to be going the way of the dodo bird, and we wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes extinct in the next decade.

In any automotive braking system, the linchpin factor is pressure. When you press on the brake pedal in your car, for instance, pressurized brake fluid is distributed to the pistons in wheels, which presses high-friction material like brake pads or drum brakes into the wheels. This slows their spinning and brings the car to a stop.

I’m a big fan of crew cab trucks, and especially those that either didn’t exist or were super rare back in the 1960s. There are a couple of builders in the country doing C50 and C60 GM trucks, where they start with a standard cab truck and build everything to make it into a crew cab. It’s a ton of work, but the guys that are good at it are really good at it. So when I saw this 1960 Ford that Solomon was featuring, I had to share.

The current Lincoln Navigator was last updated in 2022, four years after the new generation had come out. Fast-forward to the present day, the SUV is almost ready to be revealed to the world in a refreshed avatar. While the teaser doesn’t reveal a whole lot, we did spot a refreshed grille with illuminated strips, a slightly slimmer logo, lightbar at the rear.

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

On Tuesday, licensed Ohio dispensaries began legally selling non-medical marijuana to consumers; however, the drug’s possession, growth and/or usage are still prohibited on Ohio State’s campus.

An LS Swapped squarebody GM truck is nothing new, even if this one is a 3/4 ton Suburban. But when you have a very simple, stock bottom end 6.0 in it that makes 800 at the tire then even this 4600 lb beast is going to haul ass. It’s been 10.30s in the quarter and that’s hauling ass for sure. So what the hell could this thing actually need you ask? It’s got an air to air intercooler in it that isn’t very efficient and an air to water will make a huge difference in power level and how happy the combo is. So that’s what is going down, and to properly test it there has to be a lot of burnouts and pulls in order to look at the data. It’s all for science.

The Ford Super Duty debuted for the 1999 model year, and hasn’t looked back. Rather, the heavy-duty truck has proven to be a bonafide top-seller and massive profit generator for The Blue Oval, and we’re even starting to see earlier models with low miles pop up at collector car auctions as well. That list has expanded yet again, this time, to include this 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty that has just 39k miles on the odometer.

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Last month, Hyundai confirmed that this would be the year it would launch its three-row electric SUV. We've been waiting some time for it to materialize, since the company showed its Seven concept, seemingly previewing the SUV, way back in 2021. We're getting an early look at it thanks to new spy photos, and it most definitely follows the pattern set by the Seven.
