Corvettes

I shoot a lot of Corvettes. From modified ones like the Lingenfelter to Z06’s, to even the stock ones. I shoot them doing 200mph or chasing them with helicopters in the desert. Vettes are cool. Later this year I’ll be shooting the ZR1 and posting soon will the Bostrom Brothers on bikes and Vettes in northern California. Since I’ve got so many pictures I thought I’d create a section on my blog page just for them, so check it out at!!

Nissan GTR for USA

0-60 in 3.2 seconds. I think that’s fast enough. We were testing and shooting for Motor Trend down in El Toro. Even the guys from Top Gear were there. There are plenty of runways to extract high speeds from these types of cars. Now this GTR looks very unassuming. When I got there in the morning I wondered what makes this car so special. I’ve seen lots of cars, with lots of big motors, yet all wheel drive and twin turbo’s make this fun, and reliable. When I think of twin turbos I think of the Maserati Bi-Turbo. The Maserati was petite in a very modern classic kind of way, with that luxury interior, but reliability and cost of parts, forget about it. The Nissan was quiet, never got warm and was full of plastic. It definitely came from an animation cartoon, sculpted angular arch’s and Speed Racer buttons on the steering wheel. It looked as though it was the next evolution of the rounded 90’s Supra. It went fast, it stopped very well, it drifted around the figure 8 if desired or just stayed planted. But only you and people in the know will it as a beast. If I had large sums of fun money would I buy one?….hmmm, I’m a classic car kinda guy, I’d get an old 308 and save the rest for repairs. I’d like to see car companies provide us with a 20 thousand dollar toy. GM was getting close with the Solstice, and GXP. Miata’s are 30 grand…and the Lotus Elise, I parked my Alfa Spider next to one, I looked down into the car, it’s tiny, yes its fast, yes it looks cool, yes it handles, just stretch it out a bit, I get pushed daily by SUV’s that don’t use their mirror’s and cell phones….so 80 grand for a Nissan?, Will the motor fit in a 240z? now that would be cool. Check out my website, I’ll have images up that correspond with the Motor Trend release, www.evankleinfilms.com
