Chevrolet Corvette 2-door Coupe on 2040-cars
Maynard, Massachusetts, United States
|
You're looking at a nice, Black on Black C5 Corvette Coupe (less normal wear and tear). This car runs and drives great despite its mileage. The engine is very strong with no known issues. Three of the four tires are newer (according to previous owner), chrome rims with red Z06 break calipers. Overall, this is a real sharp Corvette with tons of eye appeal. The reason I'm choosing to sell this car is because I'm thinking about going back to a C3. History: I purchased this vehicle in May of 2011 from a neighbor and replaced the driver side tie rod along with all brand new brake pads and rotors (only 2000 miles on them). Also recently purchased (May '13) BRAND NEW Z06 Red brake calipers, BRAND NEW car battery and BRAND NEW Z06 floor mats for both driver and passenger side. This is a no-hit Corvette with a clean Car Fax. Exterior: This Corvette has a ton of eye appeal, with a removable hard top and black original paint, tinted windows with normal wear and tear (minor scratches, pings) and looks very good for a 16 year old car. I would rate the appearance a strong seven to eight. Interior: Black leather seats in good condition, Bose CD stereo sound system. All interior lights, gauges and electronics appear to be in good operable condition with the exception (at times) of the driver side electronic mirror which seems to stick. Automatic transmission. Carpet throughout is really very good, front and back. Overall, the interior is in great shape and makes this vehicle even more appealing. There is a slight seam separation on the driver seat left shoulder side (can be seen in single seat pic). I would still rate the overall interior appearance as an eight. Please note: Original break calipers (all four) and original floor mats will accompany the sale of this car along with two sets of keys, car cover and auto manual. **I WOULD BE WILLING TO ENTERTAIN TRADE OFFERS FOR A 1968 or 1969 4-Speed C3 Corvette Convertible or Corvette Coupe ONLY** **AS IS - NO WARRANTY -- BUYER RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING** This vehicle is being sold as is, there is no warranty, express written or implied.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.
