Chassis

Only kept the frame and front spindles and they were professionally sandblasted inside and out. Everything else thrown in the trash. All parts have been replaced with aftermarket upgrades. Chassis was built with best possible handling in mind but still has good ride comfort and no objectionable bumps or rattles. Very flat cornering, quick steering with good feedback. Very predictable grip and easy to drive agressively with confidence.

FRONT SUSPENSION

Eibach Pro 1" lowering springs

Bilstein shocks

UMI tubular lower control arms

SPC/Savitske adjustable length upper control arms with greasable solid bushings

Howe Racing extra tall upper and lower screw-in ball joints (corrects factory suspension geometry - improves negative camber gain and reduces bump steer)

GM 12.7:1 quick ratio steering box (Monte Carlo SS option)

Helwig 1-5/16 tubular sway bar with upgraded heavy duty end links

F-41 three piece frame braces

Double U-joint steering shaft (eliminates rubbery rag joint for improved steerign feel and quicker response to steering inputs)

Braided stainless steel flexible brake hoses

Front end aligned to specifications more like a road course race car

Rebuilt factory front brakes with Hawk Performance pads to allow use with 15" factory chrome wheels. Haven't found larger brakes to be necessary.

REAR SUSPENSION

RideTech height adustable coil overs (some pictures show seperate springs and shocks. That was early in the build)

Spohn Del-Sphere adustable length upper and lower control arms

Helwig adjustable Pro-Touring type sway bar (ends mount to frame instead of control arms to prevent suspension bind)

Braided stainless steel flexible brake hose

Frame has been fully boxed for stiffness with thick 12 gauge steel plate. Plates drilled with lightning holes for weight reduction.

G-Force double hump transmission crossmember

Extra crossmember added between rear bumper and gas tank for frame stiffness

Polyurethane body mount bushings

All of the hardware and small brackets have been bright zinc plated for corrosion protection

DRIVELINE

Ford 9" from Quick Perfomance

31 spline alloy axles

Detroit True-Trac differential 3.50:1 gears (2,050 RPM at 70 MPH but will still spin the tires in 1-2-3 gears)

Yukon nodular iron case

Custom built 3" steel driveshaft with 1350 series U-joints

11" x 2-1/4" drum brakes

ENGINE 383 c.i. 408 Horsepower 440lb/ft torque small block Chevy crate motor with dyno sheet (over 400lb/ft torque from 2,500 RPM up)

http://www.blueprintengines.com/index.php/gm-383-bp3830ctc1s

Serpentine belt system with aluminum water pump

Plenty of chrome and aluminum dress up parts

Ceramic coated long tube headers 2-1/2" exhaust with Flowmaster Super-40 mufflers - muscle car sound from the lumpy camshaft

New copper/brass radiator - runs between 175 and 190 even on 90+ degree days in traffic

Electric choke

Engine has less than 2,000 miles on it and was purchased new for this car

Engine still has approximately two year 34,000 mile warranty left on it

TRANSMISSION 200-4r 4 speed overdrive. It has the Hurst Lightning Rod shifters which allow shifting like a sequential manual transmission or leave it in fully automatic mode.

Trans professionally built and upgraded to handle engines power level (Heat treated hard parts, aftermarket servos, carbon fibre bands, shift kit, etc.)

2000 RPM stall converter for good street manners but still lively performance.

BODY

Gloss PPG Concept bright white painjob completed December 2012

Body was plastic media blasted to bare metal and primed with PPG DP48 epoxy primer for rust prevention

Extremely rare factory aluminum lightweight hood

Lightweight factory aluminum rear bumper core

Battery relocated to trunk in white powder coated aluminum battery box for better weight distribution

Added a factory GNX Regal backseat brace to stiffen the body structure

Five brand new Super Stock II Oldsmobile rally wheels with NOS center caps and BF Goodrich raised white letter tires

Many NOS underhood and exterior parts

New windshield

All new weatherstripping, most of which is NOS

NOS passenger AND drivers side taillights (drivers side extremely difficult to find - $$$)

All other exterior marker lights NOS as well.

NOS nose badge (another very difficult to find part - $$$)

Pictures show a white vinyl top on the car. This has been removed since I was not happy with the quality of it. There is currently no vinyl top.

INTERIOR

Hurst Lightning Rods shifters from a 1984 Hurst Olds and floor shift steering column. All in excellent condition. Installed and working ($1000+ in parts right there)

Black 2010 Chevy Aveo seats in perfect condition out of a low milage wreck installed. They're very comfortable and supportive in high G-force cornering.

Perfect dashboard with no cracks and still pliable vinyl. Took two years and lots of $$$ to find it.

Factory ralleye gauge cluster

Auto-dimming review mirror

Third brake light flasher module to get attention of distracted drivers and tailgaters

Reproduction upper door panels, carpet, headliner, lighted sun visors and many other NOS interior parts such as switches, levers, etc. included

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

Ferrari FF pitted against Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser in crazy Generation Gap comparison

Thu, 13 Nov 2014

The folks behind Generation Gap have lost their minds with this latest video. The goal here is to determine the ultimate family cruiser, but the choices are what you would least expect, with a heavily modded 1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser going up against a 2012 Ferrari FF.
You might anticipate an over-40-year-old Oldsmobile to pale in comparison to any modern Ferrari, but this wagon has a ton of secrets under its skin thanks to Lingenfelter. First, it packs a supercharged LS3 V8 with a claimed 650 horsepower and a six-speed manual gearbox. That big upgrade in power is further helped with air suspension and massive Wilwood disc brakes. The result is nothing short of deafening, with blaring yelps whenever the driver even nudges the accelerator.
The alternative sounds just as good, albeit in very different way. The Ferrari's 6.3-liter V12 pumps out 651 hp and 504 pound-feet with a part-time all-wheel drive system. While the FF lacks a lot of the hauling ability of the Olds, it makes up for the deficit in handling, luxury, and in many eyes, simply by having the famous prancing horse on the grille.

Jay Leno bangs up his own Toronado in GT6

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

Ever since Gran Turismo 4, Jay Leno has had at least one of his cars included in the popular racing simulator (starting with the Tank Car), and more of his machines appears in Gran Turismo 6. They include this nose-heavy, front-wheel-drive V8-powered muscle car. Yes, that aptly describes a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado - except Leno's is rear-wheel drive. And it has a Cadillac CTS-V race engine modified to pump out 1,070 horsepower.
For the latest Jay Leno's Garage episode, he takes his real Toronado out for a cruise and then drives the virtual one like he stole it, accruing some body damage along the way. Leno also drives the virtual supercar Mercedes-Benz designed for GT6, the AMG Vision Gran Turismo Concept that debuted at the LA Auto Show, along with the real one, which is a 1:1-scale model. The model is radio-controlled and equipped with a small electric motor, sufficient to move it on and off of auto show floors.
Head below to watch the episode, which includes a few words from GT6 creator Kazunori Yamauchi.
