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).

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?
Sun, Jul 9 2023The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric. Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands. If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) — unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla. Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor. Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have: Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners — those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port — will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 — eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.
