It's big and it's ongoing. He promises a lot of noise, action and sexy body, while not really worry about refinement. No, it's not a Michael Bay film, it's something much better: the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette.
Instead of computer generated robots and epic explosions, special effects give the Corvette a more visceral, personal nature. Whether you choose 430-horsepower base model and 638 hp ZR1, Corvette wide rear tires are in constant danger of being sprayed in fine dust grains of black rubber. In short, it is the American sports car. It has the power and lots of it.
The current generation (C6) Corvette debuted in 2005, and although we would not say it's seen better days, it is certainly feeling his age. The cabin lacks sophistication, quality and craftsmanship of other sports cars in its class, while the electronic controls many still use the previous generation of GM switchgear.
However, linear thrill is timeless, and the Corvette team has done enough over the years to keep his cool American classic. For 2012, the seats have fortunately gained more strength, the wheel has been updated and special ultra-high performance tires are now available on the Z06 and ZR1. There are also Chevrolet Centennial Edition, which honors Chevrolet celebrates 100 years on the road with a special black on black color scheme.
Regardless of what has been changed or added, the Chevy Corvette 2012 offers the same type of excitement since it has almost the very beginning: American power, American style and American values. Vette actually gives you more bang for your buck in terms of power than anything else on the road. But his lack of sophistication means cars like the BMW M3, Nissan GT-R and Porsche sports cars more will continue to have great appeal. Let us not forget the new wave of American muscle cars include the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Ford Shelby GT500. At the end of the day, even if America loves a big blockbuster Saracens, and that's exactly what the Corvette is.
The big news for 2012 Chevrolet Camaro burned - burnouts many, many. Oh, yes, the new generation Camaro is already known that. But this year, the mania for high school students and lovers torn muscle cars to a new level with the introduction of ZL1 trim. The new Camaro ZL1 is a fitting tribute to the legendary ZL1 engine option for high-performance 1969 Camaro that was favored among drug users, acceleration, and bank competition boastful.
The new Camaro ZL1 2012 comes with a variant of the compressor 6.2-liter V8 in the Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette ZR1. It cranks over 570 horsepower, making the 2012 ZL1 faster, more capable Camaro ever. A six-speed manual transmission is standard with a six-speed automatic transmission is optional. The ZL1 also has other unique enhancements including adaptive suspension dampers, Brembo brakes, a dual-mode exhaust system, performance tires and a strong driving play.
While not as glamorous as the ZL1 powerful ingredients, others put significant Camaro 2012. Among them is a more powerful V6, an interior slightly better (including a revised control panel and a new steering wheel) and an available backup camera. Other changes include a revised suspension for the SS coupe, which promises a sportier, while all Camaros taillights get last year's "RS" style (darker lenses with chrome) and a rear spoiler series. Since the Camaro was launched in 1967, there is a special 45 year anniversary package commemorating the event.
That said, there are still some issues that affect the daily availability of the Camaro. For one, the Camaro is just hard to see outside. Reverse parking camera this year to help, but the Camaro low profile windows to make it harder to park and even a little 'place of confusion cornering speed. And even though the rear seat comfort has never been a main concern coupe, the Camaro is the worst among the muscle cars. Instead, Ford Mustang muscle car is the most complete and versatile drive, while the higher the Dodge Challenger is the most accommodating and easy to live.
However it is not clear, visceral appeal of the Camaro. If you like the look and love the performance of the tires spinning, 2012 Chevrolet Camaro will be more than promises.
+ PLUS :
Strong acceleration with any engine; head-turning looks; good V6 fuel economy; capable handling.
- MINUS :
Poor visibility; tiny trunk opening; cramped backseat.
By TLex Many thanks to the reader in the Holland, who unearthed this interesting little diver. The GUY DAVID Diver sports a large 47mm stainless steel case and a water-resistance of 200 meters. At first glance it looks quite ordinary, but in fact it has quite a nice vintage inspired case with a cool side profile; I couldn’t tell you exactly where the inspiration came from, though. The case is given a touch of utility with large hex-key lug screws and pronounced coin edge bezel teeth. 
There’s even a Seamaster style manual Helium escape valve. The crown, which is sans guard, gives it a vintage-mil vibe, which is furthered by its Mil-Sub dial layout and swords hands. The black bezel insert has large Arabic markers; I have to say I find them a little too much on this watch, they kind of spoil it for me. I’m not too crazy about the Cyclops either, and I’m afraid to say its mineral crystal all the way.
Beating away under the hood is a Japanese mechanical, a Miyota caliber; I would guess the 8215, but it could be the new 9015. Either way you can’t go far wrong. I have no idea, who Guy David is, most likely some fictitious character. I don't find myself reaching for the credit card, but that's not to say the watch is without merit; I like the case, the hex-key screws and its bezel, but it's ultimately let down by its lack of sapphire crystal. 
The GUY DAVID Diver sells for 200€ and is available online from AC Watch Co. who carry the complete line of Guy David mechanical wristwatches.
