Chevrolet Camaro Zl1 on 2040-cars
Rockwall, Texas, United States
Drop the top, let the wind flow through your hair, & spank a Hellcat with its skinny little rear tires & only 707 HP. Roast a Ferrari. Laugh at a Porsche. Smoke a Ford Shelby GT500. Beat the new Corvette Z06. Kill the new Camaro Z-28. Outrun a Corvette ZR-1. Outperform most Lamborghinis. All this for a fraction of what everything else costs. (Just don’t race a Tesla P85D). Don’t blow $10K on a new clutch for a Ferrari, or a Lamborghini. Instead, think of all the fun you can have burning through $10K worth of drag radials on this thing. There is no need to drink coffee when you own this beast – just mash the gas for a few seconds & your blood is flowing, you’re wide awake, & you’re instantly in a good mood. This build was planned out with Lingenfelter (LPE) & Fastlane of Houston (which has over 15 years’ experience building race cars) to be even more reliable than a stock ZL1, but have the performance of a much more aggressive car. This is the ZL1 that GM should have built for the masses to outperform, & outsell the widely popular Hellcat. A very modest 750 HP & 750 TQ on 91 octane, 93 octane, or E85 - that is reliable enough to easily drive across the country & back without any issues. A very conservative 640HP at the rear wheels. The dyno pull was stopped well before the max potential of the motor. 800+ HP is likely a more accurate description of this motor's power, but it safely pulls 750 HP without coming close to red-lining it. Comes with a few 32 oz. cans of Torco Race Fuel Concentrate for those times when you want a little extra kick. She gets very happy with 1 can per tank. Well over $100,000 to duplicate. Think of all the money you will save, & even more importantly, think of all the time you will save by not having to do all the research, dropping off the car here for this modification, & dropping off the car there for that modification. The work is already done. This torque monster is ready to roll. Sounds like a race boat. It has scared people when it starts. Has a very impressive idle. Even at idle, it sounds like it will beat most high performance cars. People ask me all the time if they can take pictures of it. If you don’t want attention, then this bad boy is not for you. Adult owned. Never abused, & never taken to a track. This beast will easily surpass 205 mph. The 5 performance driving modes from the ZL1 coupe are installed on this convertible (the convertible ZL1 normally only comes with 3 modes). It will break the tires loose if you punch it at 60 mph in Competitive Driving Mode – just make sure you are pointed in a straight line. Spin the tires at will. This car is addicting. It has the same Magnetic Ride Control suspension that is on the new Cadillacs & the new Corvettes. It literally “Rides like a Cadillac”. It drives like a stock ZL1….until you open it up. Triple Black. Lots of Lingenfelter (LPE) goodies. Lingenfelter solid isolator installed to replace the problematic OEM spring loaded isolator these car’s superchargers are known for having. ARP head stud kit. LPE 160 degree thermostat. Vmax CNC ported 90mm Throttle Body.D3ep heat exchanger 3X bypass inter-cooler.D3ep high capacity water reservoir with an extra 1 ˝ gallons of coolant.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
The biggest gas-guzzlers of 2024: 'The Meanest List' is the opposite of greenest cars
Thu, Mar 14 2024In some circles — especially some automotive circles — bigger is better. This explains the Hummer, for example. In its so-called “Meanest List” of a dozen models, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) makes no apologies for berating “the worst-performing mass market automobiles” sold in 2024 in the U.S. The most diminutive car on the list is a Chevy Corvette Z06. At the top of this particular heap is the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63, a gas-powered SUV that the environmental agency says was “the worst-performing vehicle of the more than 1,200 models assessed by Greener Cars and has an annual fuel cost over $4,000.” Not to mention its MSRP of around $184,000. Rank Make & Model Powertrain Green Score MSRP Estimated Annual Fuel Cost* 1 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 Gas 20 $184,000 $4,242 2 Ram 1500 TRX 4x4 Gas 22 $98,335 $3,819 3 Ford F150 Raptor R Gas 24 $79,975 $3,777 4 Cadillac Escalade V Gas 26 $152,295 $3,388 5 Dodge Durango SRT Gas 26 $74,995 $3,332 6 Jeep Wrangler 4dr 4X4 Gas 27 $35,895 $3,260 7 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 4x4 Gas 28 $91,945 $3,058 8 Mercedes-Benz G550 Gas 28 $143,000 $3,186 9 GMC Hummer EV SUV EV 29 $98,845 $1,746 10 GMC Sierra Gas 29 $37,700 $3,069 11 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Gas 30 $114,395 $3,169 12 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S680 Gas 30 $234,300 $3,031 *ACEEE analysis using EIA data of the annual cost of driving 15,000 miles In terms of numbers, the dirty dozen of the meanest includes seven SUVs and three trucks. Lonely at the middle of the list is the sole electric, the GMC Hummer EV, which weighs in at 9,000 pounds. The council notes that “though EVs have lower emissions than similarly sized gasoline models, the Hummer demonstrates that size and efficiency, not just fuel source, are important factors in a carÂ’s environmental impact.” ItÂ’s also worth reminding prospective buyers that the average fuel cost of a vehicle on the “Greenest List” eats up only a fifth of the fuel cost of a vehicle on the Meanest List, “showing that greener options can also be more affordable.” The ACEEE also put out a "Greener List" of efficient gasoline and hybrid cars that don't require plugging in. By the Numbers Green Cadillac Chevrolet Dodge Ford GMC Hummer Jeep Maybach Mercedes-Benz RAM Emissions Fuel Efficiency Green Automakers Truck SUV Electric Hybrid
