Hennessey Unveils HPE700 Twin-Turbo Corvette Stingray

America's sports car becomes America's supercar.

Set to be unveiled at the Boca Raton Concours in south Florida, this is Hennessey’s most powerful Corvette Stingray built to date. The HPE700 Twin Turbo Corvette C7's 6.2-liter V8 delivers 707 hp and 661 lb-ft of torque via a seven-speed manual or six-speed auto box. 0-60 mph is a claimed 2.9 seconds, the quarter mile is demolished in 10.5 secs @ 135.4 mph, and top speed should be in excess of 210 mph, faster than the Hennessey Stingray that recently broke 200 mph on a Texas toll road.

Epic Battle of The Year : Xbox One Versus PlayStation 4

Xbox One Versus PlayStation 4

The Xbox One on the other hand has a holistic approach. It acts like a controller which can add a new dimension to any entertainment system. The console incorporates live television as if it is some kind of a magic wand. Technology has taken such great leaps that it has made owner’s lives pretty smooth. When the Xbox One is connected to the television, it simply acts like a robot and integrates the live feed.

PlayStation 4 of Sony Entertainment costs only $400 in comparison to $500 of Xbox One. The resolution graphics, texture details and the applied effects of PlayStation 4 are absolutely stunning. With a strong and comfortable controller on the lap, everyone can play to the fullest. Moreover the touch-pad is really smooth to operate. Although PlayStation 4 vs Xbox One is a difficult comparison to analyze, the essence of each console has some uniqueness in their own way.

2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

The SVT Raptor is a high-performance version of Ford's venerable F-150 pickup truck that is one of the most unique and capable off-road production vehicles ever made. With an extra-wide stance, specially-engineered suspension and oversized tires, the SVT Raptor (which is also available in Supercrew form) is unwieldy on the pavement but a superhero in the desert, where it can travel at nearly triple-digit speeds through terrain that would tear lesser trucks apart.

Ford has continually tweaked and updated the Raptor since it hit the market in 2009. For the previous model year, the Blue Oval added a new set of wheels that can be converted to a rugged beadlock design, HID headlights and the automaker's MyFord Touch infotainment system. For a full description of the changes, scroll down to the "Charting the Changes" section.

Ford spent a great deal of time and R & D dollars transforming the F-150 into the Raptor, even going so far as to construct a 62-mile durability loop in the desert of Borrego Springs, California, to replicate the conditions of the demanding Baja 1000 off-road race. The truck's thoroughly re-engineered suspension features 13.4 inches of usable wheel travel in the rear and 11.2 in the front in addition to industry-exclusive internal bypass shocks. Supplied by Fox Racing, the shocks feature high-altitude commercial jet-style fluid and an internal bypass system to stiffen the shock as it travels to prevent bottoming out.

Thirty-five-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires modified specifically for the Raptor provide a connection to the ground, while an Off Road mode calibrates the transmission, stability control and traction control to operate effectively in high-speed off-road situations.

5 Things You Need To Be Prepared For When Starting A Blog

So, you want to start a blog?

Becoming a blogger can be an adventurous and exciting endeavor. The entire process can be an adrenaline rush as you think about all of the visitors and ad dollars that will be coming your way. It sounds like the perfect career. While blogging can be a printable profession, there are however a few things that you need to be prepared for when you start blogging.

Let’s take a look at the top 5.

1. Guest Post Rejection

Every blogger will tell you that you need to write guest posts to attract more viewers to your site. While this is true, it can be difficult for a new blogger to be approved for a guest post on a larger site. If you get rejected by a big blog, don’t take it personally. Keep trying! You can always write guest posts for small and medium sized blogs. This will give you examples of your published works that you can show to bigger blogs. Eventually the larger blogs will open up their doors to you as well.
