The cover article in the November 2006 Vette Magazine about this car was entitled “Overkill” and the headline questioned, “Could J.R. Granatelli’s twin turbo terror be the most powerful C5 on the road?” I am pleased to present that very potent 972 HP 2004 Corvette Z06. This is a 1 of 1. This car was modified by Granatelli Motorsports and owner Joe Granatelli who is the nephew of motorsports legend Andy Grantelli. The car only has 7000 +/- miles on it and the VIN # is 1G1YY12S445108803. The color of the car has obviously been changed to a dark custom black cherry (formerly yellow as seen in the magazine articles). . The Z06 is a great car, but Granatelli Motorsports turned this Z06 into an AMAZING car. Highlights of the car include: – Granatelli Twin Turbo kit featuring two Turbonetics 76mm ball bearing turbochargers producing 972 RWHP and 1057 lb./ft. at 12 psi (max boost) – Engine bored and stroked to a 427 – LS6 block with Darton sleeves – Lunati forged crank/rods and Ross forged pistons – 8.8:1 compression ratio – TTI intercooler – Granatelli exhaust with Corsa mufflers – Granatelli Motorsports LS2 mass air sensor – Granatelli 0 ohm plug wires – FAST intake manifold – Carbon fiber hood and carbon fiber door sill inserts – Exedy carbon fiber clutch – Twin Bosch 930 high pressure turbo fuel pumps manage the fuel system and sub-system (extra 5 gallon fuel cell) – G-force T-56 6 speed transmission – May 2015 – added new premium ceramic front brake pads – Adjustable wastegate and in-dash boost controller to go from mild to wild – EFI Live mapping software to mazimize the fuel/air/spark mixture – Baer Extreme-Plus 6R 6 piston brakes – Classic Design Concepts Tiger Shark front and rear fascias – RKSport carbon fiber hood – Catz HID conversion – HRE Granatelli Signature Series 19? wheels – Stock 3:31 gears with Mark Williams halfshafts – Michelin Pilot Sport tires – -275/40ZR-19 Front, 345/35ZR-19 rear – Weight 3125 purchased this vehicle for $60,000 in 2004 and invested another $125,000 (his cost) in time – 9.76 at 154 MPH – Runs on pump gas – achieves approx. 20mpg during normal driving conditions – has a 9 gallon fuel tank and a 3 gallon auxilliary fuel tank in front

GM recalls 3,300 pickups and SUVs for new ignition-switch issue [UPDATE]

Mon, Oct 19 2015

UPDATE: A statement from GM about the recall has been added below. The exact total of vehicles affected is 3,296, including 3,073 of them in the US. General Motors isn't letting an ignition-switch problem grow into a massive scandal again. The automaker is recalling about 3,300 North American trucks and SUVs. They are: the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra and the 2015 Chevy Suburban and Chevy Tahoe, as well as 2015 model heavy-duty pickups, the Detroit News reports, citing an Associated Press story. The issue appears to have been caught fairly quickly. In this case, the keys can get stuck in the "start" position and then slip to "accessory" if bumped. This is because the ignition lock gears have an outer diameter that's larger than the specifications allow. When that happens the engine shuts off, and the driver loses assistance to the steering and brakes. The airbags might also be affected. The vehicles get a new ignition-lock housing to fix the problem. According to the Detroit News, an employee who experienced the problem with the switch discovered the issue, and this person then let officials at the automaker know as part of the Speak Up for Safety program. A total of five reports of the fault were discovered. However, there are no cases of injuries or crashes. The claims to the automaker's resolution program eventually tallied that GM's previous ignition switch problem included 124 deaths and 275 injuries. The company also had to recall millions of vehicles and pay significant fines to the US government. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 3,073 full-size trucks from the 2014 and 2015 model years in the U.S. Some of these vehicles may have an ignition lock actuator gear with an outer diameter that exceeds specifications, which may make turning the ignition key difficult. The ignition key could get stuck in the "start" position. This may be more likely at higher interior ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is driven with the key stuck in the "start" position, and the vehicle experiences a significant jarring event or the vehicle's interior temperature cools, the ignition lock cylinder could move out of the "start" position, rotate past the "run" position, and move into the "accessory" position, leading to loss of power steering assist, power brakes and potentially air bag deployment in certain crashes. Dealers will replace the ignition lock housing.

Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...

As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
