Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 on 2040-cars
Upton, New York, United States
Here it is all! This is my baby, it took 4 years and a lot of head scratching to build and we have had 3 years to enjoy it but it is time to find another home and other "roads". The base car is a 1997 Camaro Z-28 Convertible that had a stock LT-1 350. It was completely rebuilt as a tribute to the 1969 Camaro SS. Everyone who has seen it believes it is what GM should have done with the Gen 5 (but that is just their opinion). About all that is left untouched from the original car is the windshield and subframe (though that has been beefed up dramatically). Everything else has been upgraded and/or modified. The list is huge and I can provide it to serious bidders. I have also attached two video links. The first is my own home made review of the car shot last week (I am not good at this). The second is a bit more professional and was shot by Comp Cams to show off their new EZ TCU Transmission control unit. I had one of the first TCI 6X Transmissions and it came out before the EZ TCU was ready so Comp Cams took the car back and used it for the install video. You will see that this is also during the build out of the car (no roll bar and interior was still stock). Here is a bit about the car. I have had it to 184mph on the GPS (not recommended but we had to see). It ran out of Cam but the motor still had more. Cam is relatively mild LT-1 Performer (with matching Heads) from Comp. It Is fast, last DYNO was over 400HP to RW and almost immediate 400+ ft lbs of torque that stayed constant through the band. Power is a bored and stroked (to 396) LT-1 with Eagle Crank and running 13.5:1 compression on Mahle pistons. It needs 105 Octane minimum. I usually run C-10 (107 octane). I have run it on premium gas in a pinch and it runs but the tune is not set up for that and I would worry about long term effect. Could easily be converted to ethanol with bigger injectors but never saw the benefit or need. Moroso cold air intake, Griffin oversized radio and a number of other items round out the front (lots of Hotchkis and BMR tubular parts throughout - Strut tower, upper and lowers A arms, rear sway, Frame rail, etc). Power feeds through TCI torque converter to the TCI 6X transmission into an Eaton Tru Track inside a Moser Built rear end. I believe we ended up with 3:73 gearing but may have went weird to a 3:92 at one point?). Hooker headers feed into a Magnaflow exhaust and sound AWESOME!.Brakes are Wilwood 6 piston in front and 4 piston in rear. Wheels are Foose Df-5 Black, Rubber is Nitto Envo. Interior has Recaro buckets in front with custom houndstooth cloth in front and rear. Air bags do not work. Granitelli 200mph dash with custom race steering wheel. I am forgetting a ton but have most of all of the paperwork from all of the components. The car is solid but is NOT something for a beginner or novice. Originally built it for Autocross but it is a bit too torquey. It gets the MOST attention at any place it goes and literally rides on rails. Look at the videos and email with questions. I expect to get about 30% of what it took to build this car so the reserve is much lower than what you have seen similar builds sell for (and they are not built like this car).

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Recharge Wrap-up: BYD unveils 60-ft electric bus, Honda sticking with hybrids in Europe
Thu, Oct 16 2014BYD has debuted a 60-foot electric bus at the American Public Transportation Association Expo in Houston, TX. The Lancaster bus, as it is called, has a 120-passenger capacity and can drive over 170 miles on a single charge. The articulated bus features low floors and no steps, thanks to in-wheel hub motors. BYD also displayed a 40-foot electric bus that drove the 1,500 miles to the show under its own power (recharging along the way, of course). Read more in the press release below. Honda says it will continue to sell hybrids in Europe, despite the fact that it has stopped selling the CR-Z and Insight due to slow sales. "Our focus at the moment is on our 1.6-liter diesel but we haven't forgotten about hybrid technology," says Honda Europe's Philip Ross. Honda will sell the next-generation Fit (badged as the Jazz) in Europe when it launches next summer, and will sell the next-gen hybrid version beginning in 2016. Honda sold 4,500 of the Jazz hybrid in Europe last year. Read more at Automotive News. XL Hybrids is selling its XL3 Hybrid Electric Drive System in California. The news comes after the California Air Resources Board issued an executive order allowing the aftermarket hybrid conversion for 2012-2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans. The XL3 Hybrid regenerative braking conversion increases real-world mpg by about 25 percent. Read more in the press release below. NRG eVgo has finished installing 60 charging stations at the Sony Pictures Entertainment studio lot and offices in Culver City, California. The Level 2 chargers, which will be managed by NRG eVgo, allow employees to charge their EVs during the workday. An average of 90 EVs and PHEVs park at the studio headquarters every day, thanks in part to Sony Pictures' Alternative Vehicles Incentive program for its employees. Learn more in the press release below. Pennsylvania's Public Utility Commission will allow operators of EV charging stations to set prices based on kilowatt hour usage. This change ensures that drivers pay for the actual energy they use, rather than the time they spend charging, since different cars can charge at different speeds. Car Charging Group has already begun using the per-kWh fee structure at its charging stations throughout the state. Other states that allow kWh pricing are California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Virginia and Washington. Read more in the press release below.
2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut
Tue, Oct 21 2014The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011.
