We're Goin' Surfin': Rental Corvette Abandoned in Pacific Ocean [With Videos]


    Some presumably drunk people out California way decided to have a little bit too much fun in their recently-rented Corvette and ended up parked in salt water halfway up the car's doors. Thankfully in this day and age everyone has some sort of video recording device within arm's reach, so we have some post-parking-surfing videos below.

    The story goes something like this: between two and four people - who may or may not have been racing - decided to roll on down to the end of Law Street (seriously) and take the normally pavement-pounding Corvette out to play in the sand. Once actually on the beach, the driver proceeded to do a few donuts, calmly drive the car into the water, and flee the scene.

    The report indicates that some people who were involved have been detained, and that at least some of the expenses involved in pulling the car out of the sand could be recouped. All I can say for certain is that puling a car out of wet sand and water must have been hard as hell due to the suction; I learned that lesson when my friend took his Grand Marquis four-wheeling and the night ended...let's say poorly.

Chevrolet Video Teases 2010 SEMA Show Tunes


    Next up on our motor show calendar is the biggest tuning event of 2010, the SEMA gathering in Las Vegas, and like every year, GM will be there with a huge display of vehicles. This time, the General is video-teasing some of the Chevrolet models that will descend on the Las Vegas convention center next month including several Corvettes, Silverados and you guessed it, a boat-load of Camaro builds. Scroll down to watch the clip.

Bumblebee Camaro Crashes into Real Cop Car During Filming of Transformers 3


    BUMBLEBEE is racing down a side street to catch up with the other AUTOBOTS, who have found another piece of the ALLSPARK. Suddenly, a DECEPTICON POLICE SUV appears and cuts BUMBLBEE off!

    Well, not really, but it sure looks like that in this video. According to The Washington Post, the story goes that a Metropolitan Police SUV was on its way to investigate a suspicious package in the D.C. area when it strayed onto the Transformers 3 set.

    Just at that moment, a yellow Chevrolet Camaro a.k.a. "Bumblebee" rounded a corner and slammed into the right side of the police vehicle in the sort of scene you previously would only have seen in a Michael Bay movie.

    District Police spokeswoman Tisha Gant told The New York Times that the officer driving the SUV was taken to a local hospital and that the driver of the Camaro was uninjured.

    The Camaro seems to be the worst off of the two, having sustained damage to its front end up to the wheel wells. All of us here at Carscoop are hoping and praying that Bumblebee will be okay...

VIDEO: Chevy brings 2012 Camaro Z/28 to the 'Ring


    Now that the Z/28 program is back on track, GM has begun to test its Shelby-killer super Camaro at the Nürburgring. You can check out the vid below; it shows the car scooting around the track and rolling around on unsuspecting German roads.

    Unlike Ford's new Mustang Boss 302, which is more in-line with its original iteration, the new Z/28 shrugs off its Trans-Am heritage for range-topping excess that's high power out-putting with better stopping and handling than the current SS.

    When the car comes out next year as a 2012 model, there should be a version of the CTS-V's LSA supercharged V8 under the hood. Whether or not the engine will be re-tuned is anyone's guess at the moment, but if it were to strictly carry over I'm pretty sure no one would complain. After all, it's still got 556 horsepower, 551 lb-ft of twist, and a six-speed driving the rear wheels.

    Pricing is still up in the air, but if this is meant to go up against Ford's Shelby GT500 we should be seeing it in the mid- to high-40k's before options. More info as it becomes available.

2011 Camaro SS Convertible Neiman Marcus Edition, Now on Video


    Following on from Tuesday's presentation of the special edition version of the forthcoming 2011 Camaro SS Convertible that will be offered in this year's Nieman Marcus Christmas catalog, Chevrolet released the first videos of the car with GM's people talking us around the design details.

    The Nieman Marcus edition of GM's drop-top muscle car will be produced in a limited run of 100 units, each powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine with pricing set at $75,000 a piece. The regular Camaro Convertible will be given its public premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show in late November. Click through for the videos, or check out our previous post for all the details on this special edition (but obviously overpriced) model.

FAIL: Rental 2010 Camaro SS in Dukes of Hazzard Style Antics Results in Crash [with Video]


    And yes, we have another accident involving a rental sports car. Today's crash concerns a 2010 Camaro SS (not that it matters, but that's the one with the 426-HP 6.2-liter V8 powerhouse) engaging in some railroad track hoonery with the usual outcome.

    Here's the description from the person who uploaded the video on Youtube: "Guy rents 2010 Camaro SS, jumps railroad tracks in Houston TX going roughly 90 miles an hour." See what happens next in the video after the jump - just be prepared for some annoyingly random and topsy-turvy footage.

    Props to Jonathan for the tip !

VIDEO: 2011 Camaro-Based Pontiac Firebreather Meets the Shelby GT500


    The folks from 'The Smoking Tire' decided to bid farewell to the 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible they had for this year's Bullrun by bringing on Classic Design Concepts' Pontiac Firebreather for a brief tet-a-tet.

    For those unfamiliar with the Firebreather, the Pontiac Firebird-ized 2011 Camaro was originally created by Classic Design Concepts as a one off movie car for Exxodus Pictures' new sci-fi film, Jinn, but the company took the decision to build a limited series for sale to the public.

    The Firebreather packs a supercharged version of the Camaro's 6.2-liter V8 pushing out 600-horsepower, and as you can see in the video below, it makes the '11 Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible look like a household pussycat in the styling department...

VIDEO: Corvette Z06 Slams BMW M3 During "Reality TV Series" Rally - But Wait, There's More to This Story...


    Found on Youtube, is this video of a Corvette Z06 losing control and ferociously crashing into a BMW M3 E36 parked on the side of the road during the amateur "Robin Hood Rally" in Tuxedo, NY on June 25/26, 2010.

    According to the poster, even though there were plenty of spectators at the scene, and despite the fact that the driver of the BMW was inside the car at the time of the crash, no one was seriously injured. End of story? Not quite, as there is more to this story than what meets the eye.

    First of all, the rally is pitched by the organizers as a reality show with amateur racers driving "on closed public roads in the heartland of America", which will air on television in Fall 2010.

    A search on "The Robin Hood Rally [website]" returned some very interesting findings, including another serious crash during the first race of the series in May, and more intriguingly, a report from NBC stating that promotional material from "Robin Hood Rally" falsely claimed that the series would air on NBC...

    In detail and starting with the first incident, WMUR-TV reported on May 24 that one person was airlifted to the hospital after a serious race crash in Berlin, New Hampshire, during the first race of the "Robin Hood" amateur series. You can read about that incident on the station's website here.

    The most interesting discovery is of course the news clip from NBC on January 4, 2010.

    According to the report, the organizers of "The Robin Hood Rally" were promoting the race as a series they "may film" and "may produce as a reality-like infomercial" which "may or may not air on NBC", and that it costs $1,000 to apply for the series plus another $4,000 if you're accepted. The reporter stated "Robin Hood is just a fairy tale here on NBC" [see news video below].

    A promotional email signed / sent by "Kevin Sweeney, VP Business Development, Robin Hood Rally" made its appearance last year on a bunch of forums including "Stlbmwcca", "Grassrootsmotorsports", "E90Post" and " Pelicanparts", while we also found it on a Facebook page.

    In the most recent press release dated June 8, 2010, the organizers of the "Robin Hood Rally" state that the reality TV series "will air on VERSUS twice weekly beginning on Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. ET. Encore presentations will air on Mondays at 5 p.m. ET."

    Leaving aside the NBC-incident that speaks for itself, the fact that each of the first two races of the amateur rally series was marked by a serious accident that could have cost lives [just watch the video with the 'Vette below to see what we mean], is something that should trouble both the organizers and the authorities.

Corvette Stingray Roadster and Possibly Ferrari 458 Caught on Set of Transformers 3


    The new roadster version of the Corvette Stingray was caught on video along with the Bumblebee Camaro and what appears to be a Ferrari 458 Italia during filming of the Transformers 3 movie. In the previous Transformers film, the tin-top Corvette Stingray coupe took the form of Sideswipe. We're still short on details, but we assume that the roadster model will reprise the same role. The next Transformers movie is scheduled for release in July 2011. Watch the video clip after the break.

VIDEO: Dropped 2010 Camaro SS on Hydraulics


    Is this what the kids are into nowadays? If so, well...good for them. I've never been into the huge lowrider / airbag / hydraulic culture, but I'm glad to see it's thriving; it's a different take on the car scene. If anyone's wondering what a 2010 Camaro SS capable of "hitting three's with ease" looks like, here you go. The info / details start at around 2:00.

Heartbeat of America Dead? Chevrolet Kills Contract with Campbell-Ewald After 91 Years


    Yet another shake-up in the world of General Motors: Chevrolet has decided to take a new advertising direction, dropping Campbell-Ewald after 91 years. Cambell-Ewald was behind such memorable tag lines as "The Heartbeat of America", "Like a Rock", and "An American Revolution"; the Chevrolet contract accounted for 25% of its business.

    According to the Detroit News, the Bowtie will now be working with Publicis Worldwide, which represents big-timers like Coca-Cola, Whirlpool, and Hewlett-Packard, and has been handling some of its budding product lines.

    Jim Campbell, US Chevrolet Marketing VP, was quick to thank Campbell-Ewald for the nine decades of service. After the politics, he said that "over the coming months, [Chevrolet] will transition the business to Publicis Worldwide, which has recently been handling [the] car and crossover brands."

    The news comes shortly after Chrysler announced that they will also be heading in a new advertising direction, cutting ties with BBDO Detroit (forcing the firm to fire 485 people).

    Campbell-Ewald will continue to work with GM, but on a much smaller scale. Bill Ludwig, Campbell-Ewald CEO and chairman, said, "We are committed to continue as one of GM's family of agencies and look forward to even more opportunities to demonstrate the breadth and depth of our capabilities."

    Is it questionable to stop using a competent mainstay like Campbell-Ewald? Absolutely. At the same time, it's a breath of fresh air, something the General needs if it's ever going to get back on top.

VIDEO: Chevy Volt Fast Laps the Parking Lot in Dodger Stadium


    In this latest promotional video from GM, Andrew Farah, vehicle chief engineer for the Volt, took the EV for a quick lap around the parking lot in Dodger Stadium. And by 'quick lap' we don't mean any tire smoking (or at least not the kind you may get excited about), opposite steering antics - don't forget, this is the Chevrolet Volt electric-vehicle we're talking about... Hit the jump to watch the video.

VIDEO: GM Tests the Waters -Literally- with New Chevy Volt

    Apparently, General Motors wants us to know every single detail about its new Chevy Volt EV well before it hits U.S. showrooms in late 2010, constantly releasing photographic material and video footage of the car. In this latest video, the company shows the Volt undergoing the so-called flood test at the Milford Proving Ground to measure how well the battery inside the car will be sealed. Note that, during the initial development phase, there is no real battery in the vehicle. Watch the video after the break.

VIDEO: Man in Bumblebee Costume Transforms into Camaro!

    This has to be one of the coolest costumes we've ever seen and it definitely tops our "want it" list for this year's Halloween. The video, which appears to have been shot during some sort of promotional event at a Chevy dealership in Mexico, shows a man dressed up in a Bumblebee suit talking to a couple of potential buyers before transforming -literally- into a Camaro! But since seeing is believing, skip the jump to check out the video for yourselves.
