Crazy Car Project's Electric Toyota 2000GT SEV

Back in 2007, Autoweek contributor Murilee Martin and I were wandering around the Monterey Historics. He commented, “I wonder if they have a 2000GT here. I've never seen one.” “Come with me,” I answered, offering no clue to the sight that awaited him.

2015 Corvette Stingray will get an eight-speed automatic transmission

2015 Corvette Stingray buyers will have a new transmission option when they head to dealer lots next year: An eight-speed automatic that will supposedly weight less than the six-speed it replaces and boasting quicker shift times than the dual-clutch in the Porsche 911. Named the 8L90, this eight-speed will be built in Ohio and will also be found on the upcoming Corvette Z06. If the gearbox is capable of handling the 625 hp put down by that supercharged beast, we're sure it'll take on the regular Stingray's 455 hp without breaking a sweat.
