What we have here is the almost completion of an awesome autocross contender or an awesome pro touring car if that is what you prefer. It has the best of everything and will make someone a show type car that will run with the best of them. I have over $56,500 in parts alone so far in this car and I have the receipts to prove it. That does not include the labor we have invested in it which is probably another $20,000 to $30,000 to say the least. Here is a description of what parts we have purchased, mocked up or installed on the car. On the front, it has a Detroit Speed front clip with the LS engine motor mount options and has been powder coated black. We installed a set of Baer 6 piston Pro plus brake kit with all new proportioning valve, lines and master cylinder. On the rear, it has a Heidts independent rear suspension with a Ford 9" pumpkin and 390 gears. I bought it with the chrome brakes, parking brake kit and it is also powder coated. The engine has a high performance LS6 out of an SS 2001 Camaro with new 3.905" bore Mahle forged pistons, new rods and new crank that was internally balanced. It is built to 10.21 to 1 compression ratio. The block was line bored, line honed and square decked. It has ARP head studs, Clevite main and rod bearings, durabond cam bearings, Comp Cams push rods, custom Comp Cams camshaft degreed per specs, new knock sensors and wiring harness, GM Performance head gaskets, double roller timing chain set, B&M flexplate, Fel Pro gaskets throughout, Proform high torque starter, F.A.S.T. precision flow injectors, GM Performance oil pump, NGK spark plugs, ATI SFI Harmonic Balancer, set of custom LS coil brackets, MSD coils, new bypass tubing and seals, new MAF sensor, ARP flex plates bolts, ARP stainless header studs and ARP balancer bolt. We have all the blueprint clearances available for whomever purchases the car. I had custom Forgeline Wheels made for the offsets we needed on the car. The fronts are 9" wide and the rears are 12" wide. The front tires are BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW 255/35R 18 and the rears are 335/30 18's. I have new carpet, vintage air ac/heat system which has been mock fit, Corbeau racing seats and sliding brackets that are already installed, new Be Cool Aluminum Radiator, new aluminum fuel cell with an Autometer in the tank A-1000 Stealth fuel pump, new autometer fuel filters, new Lemon headers that still need to be ceramic coated, a custom drive shaft, custom transmission support, painless 18 circuit wiring harness, painless engine fuel injection wiring harness, Lokar billet gas pedal and matching brake pedal, Flaming River tilt steering column, new bumper brackets that have been powder coated, dynamat sound deadener, SCE copper header gaskets, Locar billet door handles, electric window kits installed on door windows, new electric window switch kit, new Optima battery, new powder coated radiator core support, custom steel factory hood with SS chevelle hood scoops and new chrome inserts, a Phoenix Transmissions 4L80E and the engine has a Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine system in polished aluminum. The body has been put on a rotisserie and blasted. All the bad metal has been replaced including both full quarters, both rocker panels, both pillar posts, and the floors had been replaced before I got this project. The deck lid will need to be replaced because someone warped it and it had a lot of bondo. The front windshield has been flush mounted to get rid of the wind noise and drag associated with older car designs. The firewall has already been painted GM pearl white which is one of the colors we had anticipated on using when we finish painted the car. Almost everything on the car is new including the custom guages in the dash. I am sure I left some stuff out, but if you know anything about building cars you can see that we didn't cut corners! |

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow
Mon, Apr 7 2014Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.
Chevy Volt replacement battery cost varies wildly, up to $34,000
Fri, Jan 10 2014There's a growing hubbub in the plug-in vehicle community over what looks like some ridiculously cheap replacement batteries for the Chevrolet Volt going up for sale. GM Parts Online, for example, is selling a replacement Volt battery with an MSRP of $2,994.64 but, with an online discount, the price comes down to $2,305.88. For the 16-kWh pack in the 2012 Volt, that comes to a very low $144.11 per kilowatt hour (kWH). But is it a real deal? How can it be, when a Chevy dealer may quote you a price of up to $34,000 to replace the pack? For a 16-kWh Volt pack, $2,305.88 comes to a very low $144.11 per kWh. But is it a real deal? Battery packs in alternative propulsion vehicles are usually priced by the kWh and, historically, they've been thought to be in the range of $500-per-kWh for OEM offerings. Since automakers are understandably secretive about their costs, we still don't know what the real number is today, but we do know it varies by automaker. Tesla, for example, has said it pays less than $200-per-kWH at the cell level but, of course, a constructed pack would be more. Whatever is going on, li-ion battery prices are trending downward. So, $144.11 certainly sounds great, but what's the story here? Kevin Kelly, manager of electrification technology communications for General Motors, reminded AutoblogGreen that GM Parts Online is not the official GM parts website and that, "the costs indicated on the site are not what we would charge our dealers or owners for a replacement battery. There would be no cost to the Volt owner if their battery needs replacement or repair while the battery is under the eight year/100,000 mile limited warranty coverage provided by Chevrolet." A single price tag also can't be accurate for everyone, Kelly said. "If the customer needs to have their battery repaired beyond the warranty, the cost to them would vary depending on what needs to be replaced or repaired (i.e. number of modules, which specific internal components need replacement, etc.)." he said. "So, it's hard for us to tell you exactly what the cost would be to the customer because it varies depending on what might need to be repaired/replaced. As a result, the core charge would vary." But, is the $2,300 price even accurate for anyone? Thanks to a reader comment, we see that this similar item on New GM Parts makes it look like the lithium-ion modules that Kelly mentioned – where a lot of the expensive bits are – are not included.
