For sale a rare, and in excellent condition 1996 Corvette Grand Sport.

I bought the car ten years ago from a Corvette dealership in Orlando Florida. I had owned a Grand Sport previously, but had to move to Denver so I had to let it go. Once I got back out California, I missed it enough that I knew I had to find another one.

For those that don't know, the Grand Sport was the last of the C4 Corvettes ever produced, and was meant to send the C4 off in a big way. It was given it's signature admiral blue with white stripe paint job, black ZR-1 style wheels, and some major engine upgrades to give it the one year only LT4 motor, among other improvements. For a complete rundown on all of the changes to the Grand Sport over the regular Corvette, I'd really recommend checking out GrandSportRegistry.com. It's an excellent resource, and I found it super handy while I was looking for mine.

Only 1,000 of these cars were ever produced. Of that 1,000 only 810 where Coupes. Of that 810 only 206 came with the Black Interior and with the F45 adjustable suspension.

Everything on the car is stock, just like the day it came off the line.

I'm a huge fan of the car. It's not exactly what you'd call fast in a street light to street light kind of way, but my God, it is one of the best touring cars I've ever driven. It's extremely comfortable once your inside ( which I'll admit, is a bit difficult due to the ride height, it's not the kind of car you'd want to go do errands in ), and it seems like it was built for the open road. It's highly stable at very high speeds, and seems to have been geared more for top end cruising than drag racing. I've taken several road trips in it, and have never once regretted choosing it over anything else. I also find it to be one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. The paint alone is absolutely stunning, but matched with the aggressive styling of the C4, the car is an absolute head turner. I guarantee the next owner won't be able to take it out for a weekend and avoid getting some shout outs, she's absolutely beautiful out on the road.

Unfortunately due to some circumstances in my life I've had less and less free time to take her out and really enjoy her. She deserves to be out there one the road doing what she was built to do, not sitting in a garage. It's my most sincere hope that her next owner has the time to enjoy and respect her the way she deserves ( please, in the name of all that is good and Holy, DO NOT PUT A SPOILER ON HER ).

If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact me: 818-312-2526

Thanks very much for looking.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
