2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2dr Coupe W3lz on 2040-cars
Imperial Beach, California, United States
This particular 2012 Vette is an extra-special Centennial Edition that celebrates Chevrolet's 100th birthday,
making it a collector's piece as well. With only 1450 miles it’s perfect.
Only 195 Z06s were built in this color. The Z06 enjoys wider wheel flares that give it a low, menacing stance as
well as a custom front fascia with a special air intake between the headlights. The effect is subtle, but nobody
will mistake a Z06 for a garden-variety Corvette. Add in the carbon-fiber ''100'' logos on the b-pillars and wheels
that came with the Centennial Edition, and everyone knows this is a special C6.
For all its race-inspired functionality, the Z06 is designed to be a daily-drivable high-performance vehicle. To
that end, comfort and convenience are held to a very high standard. HID headlights, fog lamps, leather seating,
dual-zone air conditioning, cabin air filtration and a heads-up display (HUD) with track mode and g-meter are
standard. The Z06 gauge cluster displays the Z06 logo on the 7000 RPM redline tachometer and has readout on the oil
pressure gauge to reflect the higher pressure of the dry-sump oiling system. The seats feature exquisite leather
surfaces with microfiber suede inserts and red stitching, a beautiful dash with same red stitching, and a plush
suede-wrapped steering wheel with that familiar ''100'' center badge that comes with this package. The options list
is plentiful, pretty much everything GM had available in 2012 for their production cars is in this Corvette. As
with the exterior, the interior of the car is in superb shape..

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
