2013 Chevrolet Camaro Zl1 700hp on 2040-cars
Odenton, Maryland, United States
|
Up for sale is my 2013 Camaro ZL1 Coupe. It has the 6 speed manual transmission, and currently has 4831 miles. Outside, it's painted Victory Red, and has the available black interior, with contrasting red stiching and alcantara inserts on the seats and dash. It has the optional 5 spoke aluminum wheels with polished accents. It has the 100% real carbon fiber hood insert as well. Rounding out the options on this car is a power moonroof and the interior sueded microfiber (Alcantara) flat-bottomed steering wheel and shift knob. I'll assume if you are looking at this auction, you are aware of the features that make a ZL1 special and seperate it from the rest of the Camaro line-up. It starts with the 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine, rated at 580HP from the factory. This Camaro is fully track capable with the Magnetic Ride Control system as well as a Performance Traction Management (PTM) system. PTM works by integrating Magnetic Ride Control, Launch Control, Traction Control and electronic Stability Control to work together optimally depending on the environment and task at hand. The ZL1 also has a dual mode exhaust system, which opens flaps within the muffler to raise the exhaust volume by 50%. It goes without saying that while this car looks awesome, all its unique bodywork has its own purpose to achieve the best aerodynamic characteristics. Lastly, the ZL1 has all the creature comforts you can imagine - Bluetooth, heated seats, Heads-up Display, 9 Speaker Boston Acoustics stereo, Homelink, power seats/locks/windows and keyless entry just to name a few. This car has quite a few performance and appearance modifications to make it unique, and really live up to its full potential. I'll first go over the appearance items. I installed Hotchkis lowering springs, to mainly bring the front end of the car down. ZL1s are lower than other Camaro's from the factory, but I wasn't happy with the wheel gap. These springs are very mild and lowered the front of the car 1/2" and the rear 1/8". With the magnetic ride control, the car literally rides identical to factory, and isn't lowered enough to affect around town driving. This car can make it over any speed bump without rubbing. After lowering, I had the car realigned to make sure everything was back to factory spec. I have tinted the side and rear windows 20%, and added a 50% film to the moonroof to help keep potential UV fading down. I installed silver metallic vinly overlays on the front and rear Bowties to get rid of the gold OEM style. I've added black/red vinyl to the ZL1 machined recess on the wheel spokes to add a bit of contrast and tie in with the rest of the car. I've added LED Fog and DRL light bulbs, as well as a plug-n-play harness to keep the DRLs on when the fog lights are on. I've also added the GM Accessory ZL1 logo floor mats. Lastly, I have plasti-dipped the tail light bezels black. Should you prefer the OEM chrome, I will remove the plastidip before you take delivery. Now, onto the performance modifications! The goal of this build was to keep the car as close to factory characteristics and driveability as possible. Other than some blower whine, and being much quicker obviously, you'll fool everyone into thinking it's stock. The exhaust is 100% stock, so it sounds just like it did when it was new. I did add a Mild 2 Wild switch to keep the dual mode exhaust flaps open at your discretion. If you want it quiet and drone-free, keep it closed...if you're cruising around town, you can open them up via the programmed Homelink button - again, completely stock looking! I've installed a RotoFab Cold Air Intake, which feeds into a ported Throttle Body and Blower Snout. I've installed a solid isolater to eliminate any future issues with the problematic OEM spring loaded isolater. A smaller 2.4" Metco Interchangable Pulley was installed, which utilizes the OEM pulley end cap to remain stock in appearance. New, larger ID850 fuel injectors were installed to help keep up with the extra air being pumped in via the upper pulley swap. I decided to install an OEM LS9 camshaft with PAC 1518 Valve Springs. This camshaft comes in the Corvette ZR1 from the factory, and is a perfect OEM style upgrade to really take advantage of the pulley swap. Of course, since it comes in the ZR1 from the factory, drivability and street manners are just as stock. To round out the additions to the engine, new NGK spark plugs were added, as well as a 160 thermostat and shorter length serpentine belt. To help with any potential heat soaking issues, I've added a gallon capacity RotoFab intercooler tank. While it nearly doubles the system capacity, it also gives you an easy way to add and monitor coolant for the intercooler system as it's seperate from the engine cooling system. Lastly, the car was live dyno and street tuned by Jeremy Formato, owner of FasterProms in Tampa, Florida, who has one of the highest reputations in the LS tuning community for over a decade. The car made 610rwhp and 616rwtq as evidenced in the attached Dyno Graph. At a pretty standard 15% drivetrain loss, figure right at 700HP at the flywheel! Here is a quick walk around video of the car: http://youtu.be/tgUL-yA-Wqc Send me an email with your phone number if you would like to chat about the car - I'm proud how it turned out and will be more than happy to answer any of your more specific questions! If you aren't within driving distance, have no fear! I've previously used a shipping company called High End Transport based in Florida with great success. Pricing has always been more than fair. I can provide you a phone number to get a more accurate quote! |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
Plug In 2014: VIA makes the case for 'free' plug-in hybrid work vans, trucks
Fri, Aug 1 2014If you're a fleet manager who's been waiting anxiously for the chance to buy a plug-in hybrid van from Via Motors, your wait is almost over. If you work for the right fleet, anyway. David West, the chief marketing efficer for VIA Motors, took AutoblogGreen for a ride around the San Jose Convention Center in a Via van sporting an Electric Blue paint job as part of the Plug In 2014 Conference this week and gave us an update on how things are coming along. The big news is that the Via PHEV van production is going to start by the end of September. Via can currently build two vans an hour at its production plant in Mexico, or about 16 a day and could easily double that. "That would get us to 20,000 a year with two full lines running," West said. "We have the capacity." "There is no way gas can compete with electric." – David West, Via Motors But they can't sell that many quite yet. By the end of December, around 350 Vans will be made, mostly for a $20-million program from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District that will see the vehicles used by fleets that will report energy data to the Idaho National Lab. Via is also finishing up CARB certification for both the van and the company's plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. About 50 percent of Via's technology in the truck will not need to be tested again, since it's the same as what's in the van, but things like crash tests will need to be done twice. Despite the progress, this is not where Via hoped it would be today. The bankruptcy of battery supplier A123, "took about a year off our timeline," West said. "It's been getting a little slow getting it to market, there have been some challenges, particuarly since we had the country's worst recession right in the middle of this wrap up, but it's inevitable in my mind. There is no way gas can compete with electric." Maybe that's why FedEx has expressed an interest in buying around 5,000 units, West said. FedEx already has some pilot vehicles, just like Verizon does, and PG&E wants to replace all of their gas trucks with electric vehicles, which would be another 3,000 sales, he said. Besides the fuel savings, vehicles like these, with easy on-site power generation, could also work wonders in post-disaster situations, he said, since they could replace the need for generators.
