 Here we go! As I am slowly deciding to grow up I have decided to let my Camaro go! I have owned this car for almost 7 years. I am deciding to sell this car because I want to purchase a nicer family vehicle. This is not my daily driver I rarely drive this car at all. However, when I do the neighbor hood or the city knows it. The car is very clean and gets a lot of looks. This is partially due to it being a muscle car and it sounds like a beast. I have two other vehicles and do not need to sell this car in anyway. Moreover, I am choosing to sell this car because I want something better for my family. I never intended on selling this car. All work that has been performed on this car has been done professionally. I did not keep the receipts as I never intended on selling this car. I am in the process of getting the receipts as proof and if anyone is really concerned business numbers can be provided to you or googled. Collins Automotive Waterford, MI. (built motor and put car together) D&D performance 6 speed specialists in Wixom, MI. (built the viper spec T56) and Midwest Chassis Performance in IL. (built the fab 9" rear).
This car has been very fun and it is an awesome car. The only thing I can honestly say that I did not or do not enjoy about it is the amount of money I have put into the car. This will benefit who ever decides to purchase the car as I have never been able to find a deal like this or even a car with some good parts when purchasing the several other muscle cars I have owned through out my life. This car has been on 3 different dyno's I have had two different tuners and several people tell me I am crazy if I let the car go for less than $15,000. Ultimately I would be more satisfied with that even though that is still a huge loss for me. I have well over 15k into motor trans and rear which all have less than 6,000 miles on them. However, the reserve is set much much lower than that.
If anyone is truly interested in the car text or call me 606-416-2667 and I can text you a clip of the car at idle or maybe even take a new video to satisfy you.
Now Parts! I will miss several things as I probably do not even remember what all I have put on the car.
Motor is a 408 stroker iron block. The block was x-rayed to assure there were no issues. Bored .30 over. The rotating assembly is new and was balanced at the machine shop as well. The bottom end is identical to the LS7 same crank and titanium connecting rods. Custom grind comp cam with .625 lift, Lunati beehive dual valve spring kit LS3 heads from Brian Tooley with TDA valve job, LS3 intake and 42# injectors, SLP flopack with smooth bellows, 92mm Godspeed ported throttle body. Viper spec T56 6 speed manual transmission which is a nasty trans big difference in gear ratio from stock to viper spec, Monster level 3 clutch, Pro 5.0 shifter after market shortened drive shaft. Midwest Chassis and performance fabricated 9" rear end with 389 gears and trutrak. The rear came with the great fab 9" set up everything is adjustable from the tunnel mounted torque arm (with drive shaft safety loop on torque arm bracket mount) lower control arms and 4 way adjustable strange shocks. UMI pan hard bar relocation kit. I did have 243 ported heads on this car and have had 3 different intakes on the car as well. I have even had four different exhausts on it as well. The current set up is 3 inch true duals with magnaflo x pipe and all madrel bends over the rear end. The exhaust is loud and very aggressive people know when you are coming. I also have 1 7/8 stainless steel Texas Speed long tube headers on the car as well. I also recently put new pads and rotors on all four wheels. Went with power stop slotted and cross drilled rotors. I also performed the heater hose mod for the rear springs to level out the car. I have lowering springs as well but with the true duals there was only 2" of ground clearance so I put stock springs back on. I also have a extra pair of like new tires, a couple magnaflo mufflers and a stainless x pipe that will all go with the car.
Honesty!
The car has been to the drag strip one time after my biggest build. The set up was with the 243 heads and LS6 intake as well as SLP loudmouth exhaust and Pacesetter 1 3/4 Longtube headers. I believe all those cubes were being choked a little. I made 5 passes all ranged between 11.98-12.10. I also had Toyo Drag Radials that had been on the car for about 2 years. Now the car has the LS3 heads and intake which gave me 40 rwhp on the dyno alone (dyno dynamics before and after numbers were a gain of 40) plus bigger headers and 3" true duals so who knows what I really picked up hp wise. Plus I have brand new Nitto NT05 Drag Radials on the rear that haven't seen the track and don't even have 200 miles on them. This car is heavier being a convertible and my 60" times sucked. I was spinning and the best 60" was like 1.78 and I was trapping between 119-121 mph. This car with current set up should run real low 11's with slicks I have no doubt that this can be and is a 10 second car. I also put the SW6 hood on it which shaved 40 lbs off the front end. I put a lot of time thought and money into this car and wanted to try to make it bullet proof as well. With that said I rarely drive this bullet proof car and I definitely did not abuse it the way it was meant to be abused in the almost 7 years I have owned the car I have been to the track twice and made less than 12 passes on it.
Now the numbers.
This car was tuned by both Sean Collins and James Short. James Short tunes on a small dyno dynamics dyno and even he says that the dyno reads really low. There are several people in my town that go to Short tuning and are disapointed with their numbers. To me dyno numbers do not always tell the story so I never worried too much about them. Either way there are Corvettes that have gotten like 425-440 rwhp on his dyno and they will dip into the high 10's in the quarter. My car put down 444 rwhp and 419 ft lb tq on that dyno. Collins has a mustang dynometer on his dyno my car puts down 486 rwhp and 462 ft lb tq. I was at a car show with a mobile dynojet and put the car on it just to do it and the car made 501 rwhp and 479 ft lb tq. There was a big discrepancy between the three dynos. To me every dyno is different and I am more curious about mph and numbers at the track. So take it for what its worth.
This is a very clean, sick and nasty car. The car is indigo night paint code Y4 it is a new Hyundai color. The car is a dark blue with purple hues. When the sun shines or at certain times the car looks purple it is a cool color. The car was painted a little over a year ago. The interior is clean. There are no tears in the leather and there are not cracks in the dash or door panels.

2021 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon fuel economy and towing capacities go official

Wed, May 6 2020

Most of the puzzle pieces have fallen into place with GM’s new full-size SUVs, but today we have fuel economy and towing to add to the picture. Numbers for the standard 5.3-liter V8 and upgrade 6.2-liter V8 are out, but GM has held back on the 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-six for the time being. Those numbers are most likely not ready yet. Minor improvements and decreases are seen throughout the Tahoe/Suburban and Yukon/Yukon XL lineup. Because there are so many variants, weÂ’re going to just lay them out below for you. 5.3-liter V8 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 2WD: 16/20/18 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 4WD: 16/20/18 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 2WD: 16/20/18 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 4WD: 15/19/17 6.2-liter V8 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 2WD: 15/20/17 2021 Tahoe/Yukon 4WD: 14/19/16 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 2WD: 15/20/17 2021 Suburban/Yukon XL 4WD: 14/19/16 As you can see, there isnÂ’t a whole lot of difference between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options. You can eke out an extra mpg here and there, but itÂ’s a penalty weÂ’d be happy to live with to have four-wheel traction. The biggest loser in all of this is highway mpg. Chevy has made the trucks bigger and added weight with the independent rear suspension, causing a decrease in fuel economy. For example, a 2020 Tahoe with the 6.2-liter V8 and four-wheel drive is rated at 14/22/17. The 2021 truck drops 3 mpg on the highway and 1 mpg in the combined rating. There are improvements to be found, though. A 2020 Suburban with the 5.3-liter V8 and four-wheel drive is rated 14/21/16. Fuel economy in the city goes up 1 mpg, but you lose 2 mpg on the highway and 1 mpg in the combined rating. ThereÂ’s a bit of give and take here, but at least a slight increase in city mpg has accompanied the greater loss in highway fuel economy. 2021-chevy-tahoe-chicago-01 View 12 Photos As for towing, the Tahoe/Yukon with the 5.3-liter V8 and two-wheel drive has a new 7,900-pound capacity, and the four-wheel drive model is rated at 7,700 pounds. Respectively, those are the best figures youÂ’ll get with the standard towing capacity. Opt for the maximum towing package, and the Tahoe/Yukon capacities go up to 8,400 pounds (two-wheel drive) and 8,200 pounds (four-wheel drive). The numbers all take slight cuts when you go for the 6.2-liter V8. Both the Suburban and Yukon XL offer similar or identical towing figures as their shorter counterparts do.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.
