For sale is a 2001 Camaro SS. It is a gem! It has 16K babied and pampered miles. It has never been to the track, but puts down 465 rear wheel horsepower!
To find a nicer 2001 Camaro SS Z-28, you will need a time machine. The car is extremely clean. Exterior, interior and even the undercarriage. It is never driven in rain.

It doesn't come out of the garage on a cloudy day. The axle tubes gloss black and clear coated the rear differential so none of those components would get any rust.
The original owner was a 50 year old (at the time) gentleman who sold it to get his wife a C5 Corvette.

The motor and suspension are completely stock, so it is a good car for someone looking for something less "hardcore" than a fully modded race car.
It could be a daily driver if you really wanted it to be, but the car is simply way too nice for that.

The car has been modified with a Vortech V9G supercharger kit and has THE PROTOTYPE air lid from Spectacle Solutions for 4th gen LS1 F-bodies running the Vortech.
It also has a 2004 ZO6 MAF and related couplers as well as all supporting mods to make the supercharger kit work great (fuel pump, injectors etc).

It also has a SPEC stage 3 clutch and pressure plate to hold the increased power,but the transmission, driveshaft, and rear end are stock.
Therefore flogging it down the quarter mile is not a good idea, but "spirited" highway driving is very fun.

The upside is that the car rides very gentle and smooth and aside from the blower whine you don't know you are in such a powerful car until you nail the throttle.
The exhaust still has stock manifolds and catalytic converters!

The factory Y pipe has been replaced with an SLP Y pipe and the rear muffler has been deleted and straight pipe welded in a "D" shape in the back.
It is tastefully done and the car definitely has an exhaust note but it not obnoxiously loud.

Super loaded! Leather, T-tops, power everything, CD changer in the trunk, Traction Control with SLP reversal switch (defaults traction control to "off" rather than "on" when you start the car).

The car has never been bumped, never been painted (aside from the underside of the hood to finish out the supercharger install - looks great).
It has never spent a night outside in it's life. It is either in the garage or parked where I can see it at a car show, etc.

FRESH General Extreme tires, with no more than 2500 miles on them. They replaced the original F1's which still had plenty of tread, but I didn't trust them any longer due to age.

I have the original window sticker and an entire folder full of documentation to include the Vortech installation manual and dyno graphs.

The Chevrolet Bolt is headed to China as a Buick SUV

Thu, Jan 16 2020

When spy photos of what appeared to be Chevrolet Bolt EV with some minor front- and rear-end updates circulated last week, Autoblog surmised that GM was working on some sort of Bolt-based vehicle — potentially a crossover — to be sold in China as a Buick. We may just have corroboration for that theory. On Thursday, Motor1.com spotted a story published earlier this week on the Chinese site Auto Home which claims that GM has applied to sell an all-electric SUV under the Velite 7 nameplate in China.  There's little differentiating the Velite 7's exterior from the Bolt EV's, apart from bumpers, badges, and a little extra ground clearance. Up front, the bowtie is replaced by a round Buick badge, and the bumper picks up an almost Prius-like appearance thanks to contrasting vertical elements and a thin grille bleeding into the head lights to give it a full-width appearance. Chevy Bolt-based prototype View 16 Photos If the Chinese report is accurate, there is one significant difference under the skin. Per the application, the Buick crossover variant is to be powered by a 174-horsepower electric powertrain. That's down 26 horsepower from the Bolt EV's powertrain, and we can't help but think that a lifted Buick variant might just need every pony it can get.  The needs of the Chinese market are unique, and we're certain GM knows what it's doing if these figures are accurate. We have no reason to believe Buick plans to sell the Velite 7 EV here in the States, though we expect an updated Chevy Bolt eventually, and we wouldn't be surprised if Buick brings something along shortly to fill the void left by the departure of the Regal sedan and its variants.  Related Video:

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry

Wed, Dec 1 2021

The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer.  The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).
