The Future of Hot Rodding? GM Performance Parts E-Rod Fuel Efficient V8s

Call me crazy-- and I'm sure the good folks at every auction house surely will -- but the whole 100% original matching numbers thing has just never tickled my fancy. I'm a resto mod guy. I dig the old style blended with engines that run all the time. A side benefit of modern engines in old cars is that they don't smell like old cars which means they don't pollute like old cars.

And unfortunately, that's the point GM is taking with this 1955 Chevy Bel Air featuring the new CARB approved LS3 E-Rod. Yes, E-Rod.

GM Performance Parts is advertising the new 6.2-liter, 430 horsepower V8 as an eco-friendly alternative as it happens to get 23 mpg when hooked to GMs 4L65-E four-speed auto.

According to GM, the E-Rod engine, "delivers on the expectations of a new generation of hot rodders and custom car builders, where greater fuel economy and lower emissions play more important roles in their projects."

No pricing was announced as it varies by dealer, but the strikethrough price online for part number Part# 19244805 is $9,375.

23 mpg and 430 horsepower in a '55? Win win. Make this a Nomad and it's my dream car. The car will be on display at the Barrett-Jackson Orange County Auction this weekend joined by a Linginfelter '55 pickup with a 5.3-liter E-Rod making 315 hp.

Ford Fiesta

Best Car For: College Graduate/First Job So, Mom and Dad are no longer footing the bills for your binge drinking. You’re on your own now, and hopefully you are actually employed by a company other than Subway. No longer looking like a junior roller skate on cookie-sized wheels, the 2011 Ford Fiesta follows the european model with taut handling, spritely performance and sleek enough looks to bring a bit of panache to its practicality. 118 hp, 1.6-liter displacement on a light 2400 lb curb weight, and you have yourself some pretty nice wheels for date night. Plus, you can impress her eco-conscious self with 38 mpg hwy. Size does matter.

BMW 135i

Best Car For: First Big Promotion Maybe you recently got married, but you’re not ready to leapfrog from econobox to family sedan just quite yet. You still want to have your fun on the daily commute by roasting just about everything you come across. Here’s where the BMW 135i comes in… 300 hp twin-turbo and lighter than an M3, it delivers near M3 performance at about half the price. Beastly.

Volkswagen Jetta TDI Sportwagen

Best Car For: New Urban Dad You and the wife have added mini-me to the mix, but you still want to enjoy city life. And, let’s face it, you want practicality without stodginess. You also want to be eco-friendly without driving an anemic shoebox. The Volkswagen TDI Sportwagen dons cleaner lines than previous models, and delivers clean burning diesel and German engineering in a tidy 5-door wagon that gets 32 mpg and has enough torque to pull Elmo’s head into a really uncomfortable position.

Ford Explorer

Best Car For: New Small-Business Owner You’re now only answerable to yourself at the office, and it feels pretty good. But you’re also far busier being your own boss, and you need to get around and sometimes haul gear and supplies. Ford has brought the Explorer out of the dark ages, with better fuel economy and versatility, and created the SUV for the urban age. Engine options are a 2.0 liter EcoBoost turbocharged 4-cylinder (FWD) or a 3.5 liter V6 (FWD or AWD). The Explorer has more refined road manners and manages to be utilitarian without looking like it was made out of legos.

Acura MDX

Best Car For: Multiple Kids Okay, you are definitely not ready for the Family Truckster, but you need wheels to move the kiddies and you don’t want to trade in your family jewels to do so. Plus, you still want performance, a healthy dose of sophistication and three row-seating. With 300 hp, aggressive styling and Super Handling All Wheel Drive on hand, The Acura MDX will let you jet the tikes to soccer or tae kwon do post-haste and prove that SUVs can be both sexy and eminently capable.

But your inner child is still trying to break through your slightly aging exterior. How do you unleash the unbridled testosterone without sacrificing your dignity? Merge British sophistication with enough torque to warp the Earth’s crust as you drive the Jaguar XKR Convertible. 500 hp and 461 lb ft later, you’re no longer trying to hold onto the youth that sailed off many moons ago. You’re redefining 50 years old by taking 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. Who needs Viagra.

Ferrari 458 Italia

Best Car For: Inheritance Windfall/Lottery Win
We should all have this life stage. Just in case it actually does happen, you’ll need some wheels to flaunt it. Perhaps Ferrari’s most beautiful car in recent memory, the 458 Italia is a technological tour de force, with Ferrari’s latest Formula 1 technology coursing through its veins and displayed all over its gorgeous exterior. Faster than the uber-exclusive Enzo around the track, the Italia will scream its way to 60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds and corner so tightly, you’ll end up spending some of your winnings at the dentist.

Hyundai Sonata

Best Car For: Victim of Stifling Economy So the former stage is far less likely than this one. Perhaps you’re already sucking wind due to the once steady river-like flow of funds, now down to a medium-sized trickle. But you need to get around and still network with a bit of class. The completely revamped and dependable Hyundai Sonata will mask your thinner wallet with its rakish good looks. Less expensive than its mainstream competitors and bolstered by a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, the Sonata is your penny-wise, fashion-conscious chariot.

Mercedez Benz CLS AMG

Best Car For: Kids Are Out of the House They no longer bring their laundry home and survive off cans of Dinty Moore Beef Stew. Your kids are now grown ups and have jobs and even kids of their own. You still occasionally want to see them and you don’t want to be driven around in their minivans. Now what? Blast off in the newly redesigned Merc CLS AMG. Boku roominess, power in spades and killer looks make the many years of adolescent tolerance worth it. Look for the new model, just around the corner.

Mazda CX-9

Best Car For: Retirement Just because you’re approaching your golden years doesn’t mean you have to tote yourself around in a luxo-barge with the handling characteristics of a Frigidaire. When it’s time to run errands through four seasons, take the grandkids out for a spin or road trip across America, the Mazda CX-9 will prove its capability and driving prowess. Contrary to most people haulers, this 3-row SUV drives more like a car and has an excellent driving position. Practical, sleek (with new exterior tweaks) and roomy, you can spend less time at the bingo hall and more time cruising down Route 66, ready to see the country.

Flying Cars: Closer Than We Think?

Flying Cars: Closer Than We Think?
Despite the technological progress by leaps and bounds, flying cars have largely the province of science fiction and fantasy schoolboy. Even in this modern world where we can to get people on the other side of the world talk at the touch of a button, most people do not expect a car that flies in their lives. And yet there is a company willing to change all that, things revealed plans to legends, flying cars, and they argue that consumers might need in the coming years.

Flying Cars: Closer Than We Think?

Terrafugia, Inc. is a technology company that not too many people have heard. And no wonder, because the fact that you only registered a small car maker in Massachusetts (and not yet released, because the product of their participation in 2006). But that does not mean they are not allowed. Since its establishment (the company was founded by graduates of the local PROVIDED Institute of Aerospace, notably through money from various student price competition), it is hard at work on a large piece of property called "road-able aircraft "which means that as you may have guessed, the flying car.
Smart marked the transition, which two airplanes (with a provision of storage), have amazing properties. For starters, he rides like flies, which is convertible (so to speak). If you meet these vehicles to purchase, and fill it with regular unleaded petrol, parking garage, it's on every track, where he will start. Yes, you heard it right. Drive to the airport runway and just out of the blue there.
This is achieved by a series of folding wings on the back of the couch for years (not necessarily good for the aerodynamics on the road, but you have to fly). After six months of road testing, first flight was in March 2009 and confirmed on a road / skills with other aircraft in 1937, 3000 feet (followed by six takeoffs and landings). After publication, it is expected that the transport (aircraft) in more than 400 miles (over 700 km) per tank, with a speed reaching 115 km per hour.
So what will one of these dream machines will cost the average American? Less than you think. It is set to cost less than $ 150,000, of which a significant proportion of the population places. And only recently received Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the liberation from the constraints of weight, literally erasing years, there are several warnings. Owners have a certificate Pilot Sport (allowing them to use small airports) to obtain. And of course there are questions about how this type of travel affects the respiratory tract, especially if you really craft off the car in the private sector. But now, it's just idle speculation. Even Terrafugia reportedly came close to a hundred orders already, the real question is, are people really ready for what could be the transport of the future (today) be?
