Sending text messages while driving is incredibly dangerous, but sending them at 160 mph during a WOT pull is borderline insanity. Thanks to the stability of the C6 Corvette Z06 no one was hurt, but it could have turned ugly in a split second. Think before you text, especially at 160 miles per hour!

This proves that with a healthy selection of bolt-on modifications the 2010 Camaro SS is capable of reaching 175 MPH under typical highway driving conditions.

The Barrett-Jackson collector-car auction is happening this week in Vegas, and one of the flagship cars that’ll be going across the block is this 1985 Camaro, signed by just about every artist who took part in the Live Aid concert for world hunger that year. Ozzy Ozbourne, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Run DMC, Tom Petty, at least half of the Rolling Stones, The Four Tops, Bette Midler, Carlos Santana, Robert Plant and Bo Diddly have all put their scribbles on it. A little acetone and some buffing and this’d make a great ultra-low-miles 3rd gen IROC. Whoops! I mean…

Speaking of ruining the hobby, SPEED is running a fantasy bid contest wherein you get to guess the sums that bidders will fork out for the Barrett-Jackson cars this week in the world’s most well-televised frenzy of automotive conspicuous consumption. Hey, you could win an iPad. Anyway, read about the Live Aid Camaro on the SPEED website, and see a ton more pics of it here.

Who knew that the late-model Corvette was capable of being a certified hauler? With a simple bolt-on hitch, this C5 is capable of towing a small to medium-sized load like the following tire and tool set. But how would the ‘Vette hold up under a heavier load, like a camper or car-hauler? Read more at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

What’s with the irrepressible impulse to dream up wagon versions of the Corvette? There’ve been concept Corvette wagons as long as there’ve been Corvettes, and while most of them end up being hideous franken-wagons, this longroof C1 looks like it was truly meant to be. That’s because it’s modeled upon the original Motorama Corvette Nomad that Chevy showed off at Detroit in 1954. This updated version, by Superior 54, has a custom Art Morrison frame and C5 Corvette suspension front and rear. But I read through the ad twice and couldn’t find any mention of an engine. Come on, at $195K for the turn-key version, they better at least be throwing in an LS1. Via duPont Registry.
