24,400 miles - 90% highway driven
Not a single issue in the time I've owned it, in fact I take pride in the fact it's never set foot on a dealership lot after initial purchase.
All maintenance done by yours truly - Mobil 1 5w30 every 5K miles
Currently has new rear tires (installed Jan-2013) and good front tires (All Nitto Invo in stock sizes)

Vette Air cold air scoop
20% all around tint (except front windshield) installed professionally by Quality Motorsports in Lewisville, TX
"Muffler Mod" - canisters modified for a more wild note in "loud mode" (still retains the quiet mode as well)
Mild2Wild remote exhaust controller (remotely control the stock butterfly exhaust valves for "quiet" mode or "loud" mode)
Color matched engine covers
Lightweight Slotted Rotors (saves 8lbs unsprung weight vs stock) -- brake pads have good life left in them
3M Clear Bra -- installed professionally by Quality Motosports in Lewisville, TX (installed when car was new)
Ported throttle body - installed by Quality Motorsports in Lewisville, TX when car was new
Color matched rear license plate frame by corvettemods (forum vendor)
Laser Interceptor "Quad" System with remote kill switch in ashtray. (also functions as a parking aid sensor front & rear)
When the LS7 valve/head fiasco was at it's peak - I was a little pro active about having my LS7 checked -- I had the folks at LG Motorsports take a peep at the valve train and got the "all okay" light. They did the wiggle test for me and just gave everything a once over. Reciepts available - work was done 2/13/13
Texas plate registered under "7LITER" - and I'm happy to let this go with the car, there is a form or two I think has to be filled out to let the state know a new owner has it under their control. Since the state has outsourced custom plates these days my combo of name/plate is about a $350 value
Price - listed in the auction -- make me an offer though, negotiations are always open.
Location: Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing
Tue, Sep 29 2015The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
