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.

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.
Recharge Wrap-up: Lexus CT 200h is NWAPA's favorite hybrid, 'No Charge to Charge' in LA
Thu, Jul 24 2014The Northwest Automotive Press Association (NWAPA) has given the Lexus CT 200h its Favorite Hybrid title. It named the compact luxury hybrid its favorite of 2014 at its Drive Revolution in Portland (where it also named the new Volkswagen Golf TDI the Northwest Green Car of the Year). According to NWAPA president Nik Miles, the CT 200h earned the honor for "impressive combination of state-of-the-art small car luxury and hybrid technology." For 2014, the Lexus CT200h got an updated front end, including the spindle grille we've been seeing on new Lexus vehicles, plus a redesigned steering wheel and sliding sun visors. Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet credits the Malibu for helping make stop-start mainstream. Chevrolet started including stop-start technology standard in Malibus equipped with the four-cylinder engine. Chevy has sold about 83,000 of that model, so 97 percent of 2014 and 2015 Malibu sales include stop-start. Now, that technology has made its way into the 2015 Impala. With drivers idling an average of 16 minutes a day, stop-start can significantly reduce harmful emissions and save fuel. According to Navigant Research, we can expect annual sales of cars equipped with stop-start technology to surpass 55 million by 2022. Read more in the press release below. Nissan Leaf customers in Los Angeles will get access to free charging beginning August 15. Nissan is extending its "No Charge to Charge" promotion to LA, which will allow customers to charge at public charging stations at no cost. Leaf customers - including those who bought or leased their car from the participating dealerships on or after July 1 - will get an EZ-Charge card, allowing them to use ChargePoint, Blink, CarCharging, AeroVironment and NRG eVgo chargers for free. Rapid chargers can charge the Leaf's battery to 80 percent in 30 minutes. Nissan plans to offer the "No Charge to Charge" in at least 14 more markets in the US, bringing the total to 25, within the next year. See the press release below for more details. California will get six all-electric school buses for three school districts as part of a demonstration program. The California Energy Commission awarded a grant of $1.4 million for the program to National Strategies LLC; this is in addition to a $2.2-million grant from the South Coast Air Quality Management District. The EV buses use vehicle-to-grid technology, allowing them to sell energy back to the grid when it is needed.
Buick Encore, Chevy Trax earn Top Safety Pick from IIHS [w/video]
Thu, Feb 12 2015The Buick Encore has been a massive sales success practically from the moment it debuted, and Buick recently decided to increase production to keep up with demand for the premium compact crossover. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently put one to the test again, and the Encore earned a Top Safety Pick award. It's the first model from the brand to score the nod since 2013, according to the IIHS, and the rating also carries over to the 2015 Chevrolet Trax. The 2015 Encore scored a Good rating in all of the IIHS' evaluations, including the 40-mile-per-hour, small overlap front crash test. That was a big improvement over the previous model the institute tested, which scored a Poor result in the overlap test. In the first test, about 13 inches of the lower door hinge pillar came into the passenger compartment, and the steering wheel airbag moved too far to protect the dummy's head. Improvements for the latest model year showed six inches of intrusion this time, and the airbags caught the dummy's head well. The dummy's sensors also indicated a low risk of injury. The two CUVs missed out on the full Top Safety Pick+ because the IIHS scored the Encore as only having a basic front crash prevention system, and there was no such equipment for the Trax. To earn the highest mark, models need at least an advanced rating by the institute for this technology. Buick Encore, Chevrolet Trax earn 2015 TOP SAFETY PICK award ARLINGTON, Va. - A small SUV is the first vehicle from the Buick brand to qualify for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety since 2013. The Buick Encore's newly introduced, lower-priced twin, the Chevrolet Trax, also qualifies for the honor. The Encore's award follows improvements to the SUV's structure for better small overlap front protection. The 2015 model earns a good rating in the small overlap test. In contrast, the 2013-14 Encore rated poor in the test. The driver's space was seriously compromised with intrusion measuring as much as 13 inches at the lower door hinge pillar. The dummy's head barely contacted the front airbag before sliding off the left side, as the steering column moved to the right. The side curtain airbag deployed too late and didn't have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head. In the latest test, the driver space was maintained reasonably well, with maximum intrusion of 6 inches at the door hinge pillar and instrument panel. The dummy's movement was well-controlled.
