Up for sale a beautiful, highly upgraded 2005 Chevrolet Corvette that just passed 60k miles.

I bought this car in TX a few years back and have loved every minute of driving it. Sadly the AF has moved me out to CA and due to the performance upgrades I can't register it here. Since the registration from SC is going to run out soon, I am forced to part with it. Your chance to get a great car with a lot of awesome work done to it. This car is fully loaded with just about every option, at the bottom of the listing I’ll include the codes and associated options so you can see exactly what it has.

Upgrades to this car include the following:

Full rework of the clutch and clutch system including:

Tick & Monster Complete Clutch Swap Package ($1250)

http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-monster-complete-clutch-swap-package-05-08-corvette-z06/

This clutch is fully adjustable to your preference and bleeding the entire system is now super easy because I have installed a remote bleeder line. All the hydraulic lines are now braided stainless (far better them GMs rubber hoses) and routed far away from the exhaust heat. Nothing to worry about with your clutch again.

All new exhaust system from block to tips including:

Melrose Motorsports LS2 Corvette Header system ($1600) http://www.melrosecorvette.com/2005-2007-ls2-corvette-header-system/

LG Motorsports GT4 cat-back muffler kit ($1000)

http://www.lgmotorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=343_435&products_id=2070

Here’s the deal with this exhaust, I got a good deal on the LG mufflers so I thought I would try them. Personally, they are too loud for me and there is some drone between about 1800 and 2500 RPM. I bought a lightly used Z06 exhaust that I was planning on swapping out but have just run out of time and now am deploying soon. Let me know if you would like me to include the Z06 exhaust (worth a few hundred at least) or even have it swapped out prior to having the car sent to you.

Suspension and chassis work to include:

Replacing sway bars, shocks and mono leafs with almost new OEM Z51 components and lowering the car appx 1” ($500).

A new heat-shielded tunnel brace ($120). The car is much stiffer, the tunnel brace controls the body and frame flex and also shields the interior from the exhaust heat.

Overall the car rides much better, has tighter control with less roll and sway in the turns.

All new intake system including:

Vararam VR-SC1 Gen2 SnakeCharmer cold air intake ($300)

http://www.vararam.com/sc1.html

I had both the throttle body and intake plenum bored and polished ($300)

New spark plugs and MSD Super Conductor wires ($150)

New Duralast Gold Battery ($140)

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Duralast-Gold-Battery/2005-Chevrolet-Corvette/_/N-jmmnqZacy27?itemIdentifier=21878_817422_0_

I also sent the ECU out for tuning to take advantage of the new airflow and increase throttle response and performance. They also programmed out the 1-4 skip-shift so now you get to decide what gear you want to be in, not the car. ($150)

Interior:

Sound and heat deadening throughout entire cabin ($400) This greatly reduces the heat soak into the cabin and makes it where you don’t need to run your AC just to make a drive livable. No more hot drinks in the cup holders!

Hydrocarbon wrapped center console finished in 2008 GM Hydrocarbon ($300)

http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Carbon-Fiber-Corvette-Radio-Center-Console-for-C6-Corvette.html

Matching carbon fiber door release bezels ($140)

http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Corvette-C6-Carbon-Fiber-Door-Release-Bezels.html

Kenwood DVD/Navigation system ($200)

At around 56k miles the anti-theft column steering lock sounded a little slow to retract so I had the Chevrolet dealership in Mt Pleasant, SC replace the entire pin motor assembly ($1000). While there, I had them perform the TSB/service bulletins to install a new under dash wiring clip and replace the recalled removable hood panel.

I also had a Corvette specialty shop (MSI Corvettes in Roseville, CA - http://motorsportimage.com) preemptively replace the harmonic balancer once I got to 60k miles. ($1000) They also replaced all the belts and gave the car a thorough check.

Again, only selling this car because the AF moved me to CA and can’t register it here and I’m being deployed out before too long. I need to sell it relatively soon and this is a great chance for you to get a car with all the work done and at a deep discount to you.

This car has always been smoke and pet free. There are some smell scratches and scuffs here and there which I have close up pics of and can send your way. Right now one of the TPMS is reading zero so I’ll take it to the dealership this week to have it checked out, I’m suspecting it needs to be re-calibrated.

I have over 80 pictures of the car and it’s easy for me to take more of anything requested. Just let me know what you would like. Please contact me with any questions you have, I’m working evenings this weekend but will find time to talk with you about any questions you have.

Included:

CarCraft Custom fit cover ($200)

2 Keyless remotes and keys

Shipping:

I realize that the buyer will most likely be outside of CA and as such I will drive the car up to 2 hours (ie Reno, NV) Even if you decide to have the car shipped I could drop it off in NV to save some on shipping costs. Contact me and we can work out any details.

Payment:

Paypal works great for deposits, we can work out the details on the payment method, but money orders or cashier’s checks would be the easiest.

Clear SC Title. No Salvage History. No Rebuilt History. No Flood Damage. No Liens.

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat vs. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in latest Head 2 Head

Fri, Jan 30 2015

"Olympian" is one of the terms we use to signify the greatest height, the seat of the gods. Yet Mt. Olympus is the second-highest peak in the Balkans ranges, overshadowed by the crest at Musala in Bulgaria's Rila mountains. Both great heights, but one is a little higher. That's how we get the Olympian Chevy Camaro ZL1 pitched at the Musalic Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in Motor Trend's latest episode of Head 2 Head. The side-by-side spec sheet is filled with farcical numbers. For the ZL1, that's a 6.2-liter V8 with 580 horsepower, 556 pound-feet of torque, a 4,051-pound curb weight, 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.9 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.2 seconds and a base price of just $57,800. Opposing that, the Hellcat wrings out its 6.2-liter V8 for 707 hp, 650 lb-ft of torque, weighs 4,449 pounds, does the quarter in 11.7 seconds and has a base price of just $60,990. Except in the case of the Hellcat, when Motor Trend put it on the dyno the machine spit out a reading of 672 hp and 606 lb-ft at the wheels. If there's a 10-percent driveline loss through those beefed-up internals and heavy-duty eight-speed transmission, that means the Hellcat is actually rated at about 750 horsepower and 700 lb-ft. But once they get put on a closed-off strip of coast road in Northern California, there are only a few strands of hair between their respective performances. That's not the case for they sensations provide; host Jonny Lieberman calls one of them, "One of the most incredible cars ever made," and says, "It changes everything." Watch the video above to see who got the verdict and how. Related Video:

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.
