Once a design icon, the poor Chevrolet Impala has been anything but since the early 1970s. There was a brief flicker of light with the rear-wheel-drive V-8?powered SS model in the mid-90s, but the Impala has otherwise been reduced to default rental-lot up-sell and mundane transportation device for Midwestern retirees. But these spy shots of [...]
2013 Viper To Drop Dodge From Name, Be Branded as SRT Model
We already knew the next-generation Viper would debut late next year as a 2013 model, but Chrysler dropped a surprise today in regards to the car?s name. In a press release about the new Viper?s assembly plant, there was but a single mention of Dodge, and it was used in reference to the last-gen car. [...]

Aspar “Doing Everything Within The CRT Rules” With Aprilia MotoGP Machine
There has been much speculation on the legality or otherwise of the Aprilia RSV4-based bike to be used by a number of teams operating under the CRT rules in MotoGP in 2012. With the presence of so many members of the Aprilia test team at the recent Valencia and Jerez tests, and first Alex Hofmann and then Randy de Puniet riding a World Superbike spec RSV4R, there were claims that the Aprilia CRT machine was a clear violation of the principle behind the Claiming Rule Team concept.
The Aspar team have taken the criticism to heart, and in an interview with the Spanish magazine Motociclismo, team director Gino Borsoi was at pains to state the team's intention of staying within the CRT rules. Borsoi described at some length the status of the Aprilia project, the direction they are taking and the plans for the future. The project had started a couple of months ago, Borsoi told Motociclismo, after Aspar had decided to run two CRT machines instead of the single Ducati that the squad had run in 2010 and 2011.

Nissan initiates multi-vehicle recall over faulty bolts
Filed under: Minivan/Van, Sedan, SUV, Truck, Recalls, Safety, Crossover, Infiniti, Nissan
Nissan is recalling just over 14,700 vehicles from the 2011 and 2012 model years over faulty bolts in the engine. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, “bolts that connect the engine oil cooler and the engine oil filter to the engine in these vehicles may have been manufactured to below specification strength.”
Affected Nissan vehicles include the 2011-12 Pathfinder, 2011-12 Xterra, 2012 NV and 2012 Frontier. Additionally, the 2011 Infiniti FX and 2012 Infiniti M are being recalled for this issue.
The NHTSA report states that if there is an engine oil leak, pressure would drop and the engine could possibly seize. Bad news all around.
The recall is expected to kick off in mid-January, and Nissan dealers will replace the connector bolts free of charge. To read the full NHTSA report, follow the jump.

The NASCAR iRacing.com Class A Series blew into the “Windy City” for Week 7 of their twelve week season. Chicagoland Speedway always presents some of the best door-to-door online racing of the NiCLAS season, and this week was no different. With speeds topping the 200mph mark into vastly different corners, nailing the setup was the key to success over the course of Week Seven. One person who seems to be nailing the setup every week, no matter the track size or configuratation, is NiCLAS points leader Kile Gottula. Gottula found himself in a tie with NASCAR iRacing.com Pro Series contender Robert Hall for this week’s top honors.
