blogentry-133713-0-49474800-1477462175_thumb.jpgChevrolet has just released a footage of the 2017 Camaro ZL1 going round the Nurburgring in an impressive 7:29.60, making it faster than the Audi R8 V10 Plus which completed the lap in 7 minutes and 32 seconds. In doing so, the new car is also 11 seconds faster than what the previous-generation ZL1 could muster.

 

The car is basically stock other than a roll hoop plus Sparco racing seats with six-point harnesses. While it did an impressive lap time, we were more fascinated with its new 10-speed automatic torque converter gearbox. With so many ratios to choose from, the car was kept on boil easily throughout the lap, allowing the driver to power out of the corners swiftly. We also noticed the driver leaving the autobox on its own, proofing how well programmed it was for track work.

 

Other than the gearbox, the lighter new body (100kg less), 6.2-litre supercharged V8 with 650bhp engine, Magnetic Ride Control, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tyres and Brembo brakes work together to allow the ZL1 to surpass its predecessor easily.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 2

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity

    Japan is weird. I love it (Part 7)

    Ok, the title might be slightly misleading, but there is still a Japan-link.  So, pufferfish. Specifically, a wikipedia entry called Pufferfish mating ritual.  Long story short, one particular species of pufferfish make complex geometric circles in the sand to attract a mate. And this particular species is found only in Japan.  It's beautiful. It's bizarre. And it's absolutely amazing.  From the wikipedia entry: In a 2014 documentary by the BBC, narrator David Atten

    Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven
