What you are viewing is a future collector car. This car has super low miles (8200) which was the reason we bought it. The owner was local and we pounced on it when we saw it. Our plan was to baby it, take it on a few long trips and enjoy it, but our plans have changed and it is time for someone else to enjoy it. Our reserve is very reasonable for an all original C-5 with this few of miles. Since we purchased this beautiful Speedway White time capsule of a car, I have replaced the battery, changed the oil with Mobile One, and had professionally installed a 3M invisible shield for the front to avoid those nasty bugs and stone chips. It was too perfect to have survived for 15 years to be ruined. I figured if I could save it for $500; it was money well spent. It spends most of its days hanging out in our heated insulated barn where it is covered and on the battery maintainer. We only drive it on sunny days on main roads and we never leave the car unattended. So far, this summer, we have put about 50 miles on it. I have never washed the car with water and the previous owner stated it had never been in the rain. It is never left outside at night. The only problems that I see with the car is that the passenger door won’t unlock with the remote or the switch, we just reach across and unlock it. I suspect it is the module? $65 to repair it? There are two small scratches, one about three inches behind the gas door and another just above the right rear side marker light. The seals and door gaskets are in excellent shape. The engine runs smooth with no smoke or strange noises. We debated about adding louder exhaust but decided to keep it stock. All the lights operate as they should, the headlight doors open perfectly with no noises. The interior looks and smells like new. As you can see from the photos, I have the original owner’s manual, two key fobs, and an unopened video tape. The seats look fantastic and they are really much more comfortable than I imagined. One thing about the car that we really enjoy is the HEADS UP DISPLAY. Why doesn’t every car have this? We have only had the top off once, for a road trip. The other time I had it off for a parade. Personally, we would rather have the top on with the A/C on full blast. Super cold. This is a great opportunity to own a super car for less than half the price of a new mustang. The engine and transmission combination is perfect and powerful. This is a reliable car that you could load up and take off on a long trip. It runs great and starts perfectly. We hate to see it go, but we cannot keep them all. Right now we get our insurance from the Corvette Museum and it costs about $500 a year with guaranteed value. We live in Michigan, so we have to pay the ridiculous catastrophic claims fee which is almost half the premium. Thanks for checking out our beautiful C-5.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

2016 Lamborghini Huracan at the Horse Thief Mile | AutoblogVR

Tue, Sep 13 2016

AutoblogVR returns to the Horse Thief Mile in the Mojave Desert to put the Lamborghini Huracan to the test. It's everything we want a modern supercar to be: Powerful, striking in appearance, and a riot to drive. But does it live up to Lamborghini's unique performance heritage? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reviews the Huracan on Horse Thief's unyielding curves and elevation changes to find out. Meanwhile, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin reviews a different kind of performance car – the Chevy SS at the IndyCar circuit on Detroit's Belle Isle. He's ably assisted by ace driver Simon Pagenaud. You must watch his hot lap! The SS is old-school V8 American muscle wrapped in Australian design and engineering. This AutoblogVR segment also launches on the app Sept. 13, and the teaser follows the Huracan preview above. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!

This 450-hp electric Lotus Evora is powered by Tesla and Chevrolet

Tue, May 9 2017

When someone mentions an electric Lotus, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla Roadster, the California-based automaker's first vehicle. That car started life as an Elise before being heavily massaged and adapted by Tesla's engineers. In a similar spirit, the people at Onpoint Dyno are close to finishing Blue Lightning, a track-ready all-electric Lotus Evora. Blue Lightning uses a Tesla drive unit and a Chevrolet Volt battery pack, both mounted in the middle in place of the Evora's 3.5-liter Toyota V6. It's putting down about 450 horsepower at the wheels. The car was built for time attack sessions, so power is fed through custom forged wheels and super sticky Pirelli PZero Trofeo R tires, the same ones found on the last Chevrolet Camaro Z/28. There is a custom digital instrument cluster in place of the Lotus gauges. There's also a regen paddle on the left side of the steering wheel. With a full charge, Blue Lighting should go about 120 miles. While the car runs under its own power, it's only about 90 percent complete. It has no power steering, no firewall in between the seats and the motor and battery pack, no A/C, and a large hole where the shift lever used to be. Other final touches include fine-tuning the brakes and suspension. There is also a custom rear bumper coming that should make it look more like the new Lotus Evora 400. Onpoint Dyno expects the car to hit the track in the next month or so. Related Video:
