98 C5 Corvette is in excellent condition with over 33,000 miles. Paint has nice gloss with a few nick size scratches on the lower portion of the front bumper and a two inch scratch on the passenger side rear quarter panel. The interior is also clean and odorless.

Some custom work to the interior : console and radio bezel is done Carbon fiber. No stick-ons. Pioneer sound system : I recently replaced the head unit.

Clear and amber corner lamps with switchback led lights from Corvettemods.com and led brake lamp. Led reverse lights and license plate lights. Tinted glass. Viper Alarm system with remote start. Also has a secondary back-up battery hidden in the passenger compartment for the alarm system. Vette is equipped with 07 C6 rims and run flat tires. Front tires were replaced with Firestone Firehawk about 2 years ago and has about 80% tread left. Rear tires are the original Goodyears with about 60% tread left. The sway bar end-links were also replaced with GM metal end links. I also installed stainless steel covers on the rear sub-frame brace for looks and front bumper under guard rollers protecting the undercarriage.  

Since purchasing my Vette back in June of 07 it only had under 12,000 miles and now has over 33,000 miles. It has been serviced through the dealer mostly for some mechanical work. The sway bar end-links were also replaced with GM metal end links. Oil was changed every 3000 miles with the recommended Mobil One. This was not a daily driver and only has been driven in the rain once. I have all receipts and service records. Invested over $6000. 
There is no warning lights on and no leaks. The only thing not working is the horn, maybe a bad relay. And Viper alarm system module needs to be checked. Remote is working but the module is not picking up the signal.

Note : This Vette also comes with the OEM adjustable dampening shocks that can be adjusted utilizing the switch on the center console. The F45 suspension. 
Vette runs excellent with that nice sounding exhaust. FULLY LOADED AND FULLY POWERED, Seats, etc.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway

Mon, Nov 9 2015

The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
