2013 Chevrolet Camaro Zl1 700hp on 2040-cars
Odenton, Maryland, United States
Up for sale is my 2013 Camaro ZL1 Coupe. It has the 6 speed manual transmission, and currently has 4831 miles. Outside, it's painted Victory Red, and has the available black interior, with contrasting red stiching and alcantara inserts on the seats and dash. It has the optional 5 spoke aluminum wheels with polished accents. It has the 100% real carbon fiber hood insert as well. Rounding out the options on this car is a power moonroof and the interior sueded microfiber (Alcantara) flat-bottomed steering wheel and shift knob. I'll assume if you are looking at this auction, you are aware of the features that make a ZL1 special and seperate it from the rest of the Camaro line-up. It starts with the 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine, rated at 580HP from the factory. This Camaro is fully track capable with the Magnetic Ride Control system as well as a Performance Traction Management (PTM) system. PTM works by integrating Magnetic Ride Control, Launch Control, Traction Control and electronic Stability Control to work together optimally depending on the environment and task at hand. The ZL1 also has a dual mode exhaust system, which opens flaps within the muffler to raise the exhaust volume by 50%. It goes without saying that while this car looks awesome, all its unique bodywork has its own purpose to achieve the best aerodynamic characteristics. Lastly, the ZL1 has all the creature comforts you can imagine - Bluetooth, heated seats, Heads-up Display, 9 Speaker Boston Acoustics stereo, Homelink, power seats/locks/windows and keyless entry just to name a few. This car has quite a few performance and appearance modifications to make it unique, and really live up to its full potential. I'll first go over the appearance items. I installed Hotchkis lowering springs, to mainly bring the front end of the car down. ZL1s are lower than other Camaro's from the factory, but I wasn't happy with the wheel gap. These springs are very mild and lowered the front of the car 1/2" and the rear 1/8". With the magnetic ride control, the car literally rides identical to factory, and isn't lowered enough to affect around town driving. This car can make it over any speed bump without rubbing. After lowering, I had the car realigned to make sure everything was back to factory spec. I have tinted the side and rear windows 20%, and added a 50% film to the moonroof to help keep potential UV fading down. I installed silver metallic vinly overlays on the front and rear Bowties to get rid of the gold OEM style. I've added black/red vinyl to the ZL1 machined recess on the wheel spokes to add a bit of contrast and tie in with the rest of the car. I've added LED Fog and DRL light bulbs, as well as a plug-n-play harness to keep the DRLs on when the fog lights are on. I've also added the GM Accessory ZL1 logo floor mats. Lastly, I have plasti-dipped the tail light bezels black. Should you prefer the OEM chrome, I will remove the plastidip before you take delivery. Now, onto the performance modifications! The goal of this build was to keep the car as close to factory characteristics and driveability as possible. Other than some blower whine, and being much quicker obviously, you'll fool everyone into thinking it's stock. The exhaust is 100% stock, so it sounds just like it did when it was new. I did add a Mild 2 Wild switch to keep the dual mode exhaust flaps open at your discretion. If you want it quiet and drone-free, keep it closed...if you're cruising around town, you can open them up via the programmed Homelink button - again, completely stock looking! I've installed a RotoFab Cold Air Intake, which feeds into a ported Throttle Body and Blower Snout. I've installed a solid isolater to eliminate any future issues with the problematic OEM spring loaded isolater. A smaller 2.4" Metco Interchangable Pulley was installed, which utilizes the OEM pulley end cap to remain stock in appearance. New, larger ID850 fuel injectors were installed to help keep up with the extra air being pumped in via the upper pulley swap. I decided to install an OEM LS9 camshaft with PAC 1518 Valve Springs. This camshaft comes in the Corvette ZR1 from the factory, and is a perfect OEM style upgrade to really take advantage of the pulley swap. Of course, since it comes in the ZR1 from the factory, drivability and street manners are just as stock. To round out the additions to the engine, new NGK spark plugs were added, as well as a 160 thermostat and shorter length serpentine belt. To help with any potential heat soaking issues, I've added a gallon capacity RotoFab intercooler tank. While it nearly doubles the system capacity, it also gives you an easy way to add and monitor coolant for the intercooler system as it's seperate from the engine cooling system. Lastly, the car was live dyno and street tuned by Jeremy Formato, owner of FasterProms in Tampa, Florida, who has one of the highest reputations in the LS tuning community for over a decade. The car made 610rwhp and 616rwtq as evidenced in the attached Dyno Graph. At a pretty standard 15% drivetrain loss, figure right at 700HP at the flywheel! Here is a quick walk around video of the car: http://youtu.be/tgUL-yA-Wqc Send me an email with your phone number if you would like to chat about the car - I'm proud how it turned out and will be more than happy to answer any of your more specific questions! If you aren't within driving distance, have no fear! I've previously used a shipping company called High End Transport based in Florida with great success. Pricing has always been more than fair. I can provide you a phone number to get a more accurate quote! |

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks
Thu, Sep 29 2016Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
Common Dodge Ram 1500 vs. Chevrolet Silverado breakdowns
Wed, May 4 2016These two trucks are famous for their ability to get the job done. Still, even the toughest vehicle can have mechanical problems at some time. What if we match the Dodge Ram 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado head to head? Let's find out more about common repairs for each model. Also, learn some tricks to pay for car repairs. Clunky Steering Both Dodge and the Chevy owners sometimes notice bumping and clunking when steering. This might be more noticeable when driving over bumps. The cause is usually different in each truck though. In the Dodge Ram, clunky steering is more likely due to a defective lower ball joint. Replacement costs around $300 - $400, parts and labor. Clunky Chevy Silverado steering is probably a steering rack failure. This problem appears more often in trucks with over 90,000 miles. Silverado steering rack repair will run you up to $1,000 or more. Starting Woes For the Chevy Silverado with over 130,000 miles, you might notice trouble starting. This problem may appear occasionally at first, but it typically gets worse. Excluding a weak battery, the culprit is usually the starter. Replacement will cost you around $330 - $500. Of the total cost, $90 is for labor only. Now the Dodge Ram might make a ticking sound when starting, especially on models with over 94,500 miles. The noise often disappears after the engine warms up. These symptoms may indicate a broken exhaust manifold. Repair costs range from $800 - $900. Burning Oil & Gas Gauge On The Blink Sometimes, the Dodge Ram burns oil much faster than normal. In models with over 125,000 miles, this often points towards a leaky intake manifold gasket. A knocking sound may also appear with acceleration along with possible engine misfire. The cost to repair is around $200 - $300. The Chevy Silverado has its own surprises, especially when you've filled the gas tank but the gauge still reads low. Or the needle fluctuates widely from low to full while driving. In trucks with over 120,000 miles, it's likely due to a faulty fuel sensor. You might need a full fuel pump replacement, which can cost you up to $820, parts and labor. Water Inside And Poor Heat The Ram 1500 rear window has been known to leak. You might notice the back seat and floor wet after a rainstorm. This is more common in trucks with over 65,000 miles. Resealing the Ram 1500 rear window costs around $150 - $250.
