BEST ENGINE?

This is the 20th year for the Ward’s 10 Best Engines awards and as many as 44 different powertrains were tested. Out of the 10 winners, eight featured direct fuel injection, six came with forced induction and one was even electric. The 2014 Corvette Stingray’s 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 made the list for obvious reasons. Despite maintaining Chevy’s smallblock pushrod legacy, the engine features advanced technologies such as direct injection and cylinder deactivation and can return as much as 29 mpg on the highway. Not bad for a large displacement V-8 delivering 455 horsepower in standard form.

FAST7 UPDATE

The sudden and unfortunate death of actor Paul Walker opened up a whole lot of questions about the future of the Fast & Furious franchise.Will the seventh movie continue or will the whole franchise be sent to the archives? According to The Hollywood Reporter, Fast & Furious 7 will go on as planned, except that it will come with a lot of revisions to the original script. The changes center around how to give Walker’s character, Brian O’Connor, the proper send-off and doing it in a manner that can be tied into the movie. There’s still a strong possibility that the scenes Paul Walker was able to shoot will still be used, making such a dramatic transition that much more important in the grand scheme of things both for Walker’s legacy and that of the Fast & Furious franchise.
