Chevrolet Camaro Zl1 on 2040-cars
Sandy, Texas, United States
Drop the top, let the wind flow through your hair, & spank a Hellcat with its skinny little rear tires & only 707 HP. Roast a Ferrari. Laugh at a Porsche. Smoke a Ford Shelby GT500. Beat the new Corvette Z06. Kill the new Camaro Z-28. Outrun a Corvette ZR-1. Outperform most Lamborghinis. All this for a fraction of what everything else costs. (Just don’t race a Tesla P85D). Don’t blow $10K on a new clutch for a Ferrari, or a Lamborghini. Instead, think of all the fun you can have burning through $10K worth of drag radials on this thing. There is no need to drink coffee when you own this beast – just mash the gas for a few seconds & your blood is flowing, you’re wide awake, & you’re instantly in a good mood. This build was planned out with Lingenfelter (LPE) & Fastlane of Houston (which has over 15 years’ experience building race cars) to be even more reliable than a stock ZL1, but have the performance of a much more aggressive car. This is the ZL1 that GM should have built for the masses to outperform, & outsell the widely popular Hellcat. A very modest 750 HP & 750 TQ on 91 octane, 93 octane, or E85 - that is reliable enough to easily drive across the country & back without any issues. A very conservative 640HP at the rear wheels. The dyno pull was stopped well before the max potential of the motor. 800+ HP is likely a more accurate description of this motor's power, but it safely pulls 750 HP without coming close to red-lining it. Comes with a few 32 oz. cans of Torco Race Fuel Concentrate for those times when you want a little extra kick. She gets very happy with 1 can per tank. Well over $100,000 to duplicate. Think of all the money you will save, & even more importantly, think of all the time you will save by not having to do all the research, dropping off the car here for this modification, & dropping off the car there for that modification. The work is already done. This torque monster is ready to roll. Sounds like a race boat. It has scared people when it starts. Has a very impressive idle. Even at idle, it sounds like it will beat most high performance cars. People ask me all the time if they can take pictures of it. If you don’t want attention, then this bad boy is not for you. Adult owned. Never abused, & never taken to a track. This beast will easily surpass 205 mph. The 5 performance driving modes from the ZL1 coupe are installed on this convertible (the convertible ZL1 normally only comes with 3 modes). It will break the tires loose if you punch it at 60 mph in Competitive Driving Mode – just make sure you are pointed in a straight line. Spin the tires at will. This car is addicting. It has the same Magnetic Ride Control suspension that is on the new Cadillacs & the new Corvettes. It literally “Rides like a Cadillac”. It drives like a stock ZL1….until you open it up. Triple Black. Lots of Lingenfelter (LPE) goodies. Lingenfelter solid isolator installed to replace the problematic OEM spring loaded isolator these car’s superchargers are known for having. ARP head stud kit. LPE 160 degree thermostat. Vmax CNC ported 90mm Throttle Body.D3ep heat exchanger 3X bypass inter-cooler.D3ep high capacity water reservoir with an extra 1 ½ gallons of coolant.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
The Volt Dance had precedent; meet the Chevy Footlockers
Sun, Dec 14 2014Marketing in the auto industry can get weird sometimes – really quite bizarre, in fact. For example, remember the Chevy Volt dance from the 2009 Los Angles Auto Show? If not, a group boogied to a song about the electric car, and it was every bit as awkward (and hilarious) as that sounds. In fact, that innocent bit of promotion lives in infamy, as some pundits grabbed hold of it during General Motors' bailout and asked why America's tax dollars were going to such things. The Chicago Auto Show has been digging through its vault of vintage videos, and it has come up with something that might actually be worse than that Volt-themed routine. They're called the Chevy Footlockers, and they're a dance troupe somehow promoting the Cavalier at the 1988 Chicago show. The connection between the car and their routine is unclear, but it's gloriously cheesy in a Chippendales-meets-AC Slater sort of way. Also, there are props towards the end, but we aren't going to spoil them for you, because you just have to watch for yourself. As a bonus, there's another (brief) clip below showing a female dance group with the Geo Tracker at the '91 Chicago show, and they sing, too. Scroll down to watch both of these oddities.

How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
