Originally there were to be 100 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro's built. That was the idea from the

Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog, page 44, in 2010. To get one you had to call an (800) number

on October 19th 2010 at 12:00 E.S.T. and cross your fingers. All 100, were "snapped up", in under

3 minutes. They were to be delivered in April 2011 but that didn't happen. Those of us on the list were

informed in March 2011 that they would be delayed till mid-Summer, 2011. Once they were built and

shipped, only 75 of these cars were built in total ( 30 Manual and 45 Automatic transmissions ). There

was no actual explanation as to why the additional 25 were not built.

This one was built on July 5th, 2011 and was the 12th one produced. They were shipped in enclosed

trucks. I picked mine up on July 11th. Each of these cars has their very own Birth Certificate as well

as a window sticker with a M.S.R.P. of $75,000. Aside from the COPO Camaro, these are the rarest of

the 5th Generation Camaro's made.

I spoke to the actual company that painted the cars for G.M. in Michigan. I got ahold of them to see if

I could get some of the paint they used so I could paint the rear difusser the same as the body. They were

very helpful. The person I spoke to said G.M. asked him to paint a dozen cars then they wanted to see

them in person. When they did see the cars, they said the paint was too perfect. They wanted the "orange

peel" finish on the cars to look like all other factory painted Camaro's. Then he asked me which number

I had and I told him, the 12th. He said I got one of the "good ones". I asked him his opinion as to how much

it would cost to paint my other Camaro the same color. He said over $20K, easily, as they dismantled the car to

paint it. If you open the hood you will notice the engine bay is gloss black. Besides, this tri-coat paint is really expensive.

The window sticker calls the paint "Bordeaux", which is not the actual name after all.

The color is "Mystic Bronze Metallic". You will notice that is does not actually photograph all that well.

When you see one in person, depending on the light, it looks purple, brown, bronze or burgandy.

The paint on this car is perfect. No scratches, chips or dings. It has only been washed 1 time in 19 months.

It has been waxed 9 times. It is kept in an air conditioned and heated garage, under a silk Cover-King cover.

It has never been driven in the rain or even parked outside over night. The top has only been down 5 times.

Before it had 20 miles on it it went to Pro-Tech and got a clear bra treatment . It covers the entire front, lights,

mirrors, rocker panels and bottom rear quarter panels. They did an awesome job then jabbed me with a $1,600 bill for it ( worth it! ).

Now, last thing regarding the paint. Devious Designs, here in Las Vegas, is the best in the business when it comes to painting cars.

The owners literally said that this car has one of the best paint jobs they have ever seen in regard to quality, the wet sand, and the clear coat.

They are also the people who painted the other parts on this car.

The stock, all original car was , yes, really cool. But, I have never been one to leave it at that. Keep in mind that

I have all the O.E.M. parts and the car can be returned to "stock" with ease. In my opionion, I took over from where

the designers quit. Like I mentioned prior, I had the rear difuzzer smoothed and painted the body color. It just

looked unfinished and it really made a big difference. While we were doing that I had a Borla A-Tac cat back

exhaust installed, with an X pipe. It needed to sound like a Camaro, not a sewing machine. After that I installed

the roll bar. With the top down, it looked like it needed to look "tougher", and now it looks really much better than before.

The rims were exclusive on the car. The polish that was done it extremely nice but they didn't accent the cars

colors. My thought the Amber interior would benefit from a gold center mesh rim. I got ahold of Forgeline Racing

and told them what I wanted to do. Not only did I want a "one off" rim, but I wanted a center lock rim. They make

a custom kit that eleminates the lug nuts. They are very light, very cool and over $2,200, each. While that was going

on, we installed Eibach Pro springs to lower the car 1 1/2 inches, all around.

There was something bothering me about the front grille. There was no accent and looked like most other Camaro's. I

ordered the Heritage grille and had it painted the matte gray that the windshield frame came with, another big difference in appearance.

The windows got the latest 3M tint applied, not too dark , just right. The engine is left stock. It's hard to return a car to original if you start

doing motor work. It's a really rare car so I want the value to stay as high as it can. It got an oil change at 500 miles. The car has 960 miles on it.

That from going to some car shows and the Saturday morning car club meets. That is an average of 1.7 miles per day but is no "daily".

This is a great car to add to a collection or as a display for a car audio company.

'Baby Driver' is a car chase movie set to music

Mon, Mar 13 2017

The Fate of the Furious is certainly the 6,000-pound SUV in the garage of automotive movies, but that doesn't mean gearheads are starved for options. The upcoming film Baby Driver looks to be a winner for car guys, featuring exciting chases with cars including a "hawk-eye" Impreza WRX, a Dodge Challenger, and a 1980s Chevy Caprice. The movie is written and directed by Edgar Wright, whom you may know as the man behind movies such as Sean of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. And based on the two trailers released so far, seen above and below, it's about a young man by the name of Baby, who is a getaway driver for criminals. He's apparently the best in the business, and the secret to his success is the music he listens to while he's driving. He also wants out, but his boss, played by Kevin Spacey, has no intention of letting him go. Spacey is one of a number of major stars in the film, including Jamie Foxx and John Hamm. The driving action shown in the trailers definitely looks entertaining. The WRX is seen doing an array of drifts and J-turns. There is some driving precision on display here that wouldn't be out of place in a Gymkhana video. And it looks like Wright's attention to detail in his shots and transitions, as well as some solid comedy relief, are all going to be present. The film comes out this August.

'Killing a Duramax' Gale Banks YouTube series methodically tunes a diesel to death

Thu, Feb 27 2020

Learning or perfecting a skill by watching YouTube videos is known as attending YouTube University. GM Authority picked up on one of the video site's more fascinating courses, hosted by Gale Banks; in a fair world, he should be referred to as Professor Banks when it comes to diesel engines and truck tuning. A few months after GM introduced the updated L5P 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD that ships with 454 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, Banks decided he wanted to methodically tune the engine to death. The purpose of the resulting series, called "Killing a Duramax," is to push more power out of the engine in order to discover which parts break and when — or, as Banks puts it, force-feed the Duramax "until the crank hits the street and the heads hit the hood." With that knowledge, Banks can figure out all the weak points on his way to building what he calls a "Superturbo," that being a supercharged, twin-turbo race engine with more than 1,000 hp. What makes the series fascinating is Banks' knowledge, paired with the company's comprehensive iDash engine monitoring system that keeps tabs on a glut of parameters every step of the way. So for instance, you get Banks explaining the differences between inches of mercury and barometric pressure, how those are different from the water content of the air measured in grains, then showing those readouts on the iDash, then explaining in detail how they affect the air density in the Duramax system. The stock Borg-Warner variable turbo gets a lot of airtime Â— Banks accuses it of being "out to lunch" because he feels it's the weakest link on the engine. That turns into a turbo teardown and a deep explanation of performance pitfalls, such as when air pressure on the turbine begins to diverge from the boost pressure coming from the compressor. Banks says he can keep close tabs on where power's coming from, because the iDash monitors the horsepower contribution provided by the ambient air, the turbo, and the intercooler separately. The major changes so far are a stouter Precision 7675 turbo and TurboSmart wastegate (episode 5), a twin intake (episode 6), a custom liquid-cooled intercooler from a marine engine, a new GM oil cooler and synthetic oil (episode 10), and new injectors (episode 11).
