Hello folks. Just to be perfectly honest and clear, I want to state up front that this car was born as a black over gray leather LT1 Caprice and although it resembles one, it is NOT an Impala SS. I bought this car from a Ford dealer in TN where it was traded in by its original owner. It has been in the south its whole life and is completely rust free. I wanted a sleeper, a fun, fast car that would fool people and ruin egos. I started by tearing down the top half of the engine and replaced the iron heads with stock aluminum LT1 heads off my '94 Z28. They were treated to a performance valve job and they've been bowl blended, pocket ported and gasket matched. I installed a Comp Cams 260XFI cam with 210/218 duration at .050" along with a full roller valvetrain using more parts from Comp and Crane. For those that don't know engine mods well, don't worry, this isn't a lopey race engine, its very streetable and was built to maximize torque for getting this heavy car moving. I used a thinner head gasket during the cylinder head install to bump the compression to 11:1, but it still runs fine on pump premium. The Opti-Spark distributor has been replaced along with an LT4 knock module and a Crane ignition box and coil. The exhaust is a 2.5" dual cat-back from Jegs, but with 50 series (the quiet ones) Flowmaster mufflers installed. The transmission has a custom torque converter matched to the cam and gearing. The stock drum brake rear end was replaced with a 3.08:1, 4-wheel disc rear end from a 9C1 police car. The diff was also replaced with a new Eaton Posi unit. I had my friend Reese Cox at MTI racing do a quickie tune on the car and it runs great. It does seem to pull a bit harder at 90% throttle than WOT so I know there's a lot left on the table with some more tuning. I've been meaning to take it back to MTI and get it on their dyno for a proper tune, but I haven't had a chance. It hasn't been down the track but seat-of-the-pants feels like it would run a mid 13. The car passes emissions here in GA with no problem at all. So there I was with my 13 second granny car covered in chrome and even sporting white wall tires when this (I'll bite my tongue here) woman sideswipes the RF door and fender. The damage was very minor, but I found a deal on a perfect door and fender from a black Impala SS so I used those parts so the car would have zero filler. Since the car was going to the body shop, I decided to change direction and make some tasteful modifications. I installed an Impala grill and spoiler, shaved the trunk lock cylinder and installed smooth urethane bumpers (not the cheap fiberglass ones). Magnum Collision in Marietta GA did the whole body respray and it came out beautiful. The wheels are 18" Centerline Lazers and the tires are Dunlop SP Sports 245/40r18 front and 275/35r18 rear and in good condition. The car has also been lowered with lowering springs in the rear and QA1 adjustable coil-overs in the front. The interior is in excellent condition with very good leather and only the driver's lower seat foam showing signs of wear. I think the carpet was replaced by the dealer I bought the car from because it doesn't fit quite as nice as I expect a factory carpet to. Overall, the interior is very nice, especially for a 19 year old car. The car is located in Kennesaw GA and I have a clean title in hand. I urge any serious buyers to inspect the car and test drive it themselves or arrange a pre-purchase inspection. This is very nice car with nothing to hide. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any more specific details or additional photos. Also available, but not included are an extensive collection of parts to take this car to the next level performance wise. The key items are a very high end 396 LT1 stroker with a Callies 4340 crank, Oliver billet rods and custom 2618 Ross forged pistons. No Chinese Eagle or Scat junk. I've also got an LT1 Camaro T-56 six speed manual transmission that I've rebuilt with a Dodge Viper main shaft along with many, but not all of the parts needed to install it. If interested, the sale of these items can be negotiated separately. |

Watch a 2015 Corvette Z06 run the quarter in 11.7 seconds
Sun, Dec 28 2014We're not writing about this because it's an amazing run, we're writing about it because it appears to be the first run. Someone took a 2015 Corvette Z06 to Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Texas and blasted it down through the quarter mile. It's still wearing the dealer number in wax pen on the windshield and dealer plates, so this example is fresh from the mold. It's also a seven-speed manual. General Motors said the row-your-own Z06 can do the 'strip in 11.2 seconds, and they undoubtedly had a professional driver and more than one run to set that time. To have Just Some Guy show up at the raceway and do an 11.7 at 120.54 mph on his first run means we expect good things to come as Z06s get delivered to their owners. Check out the run in the video.
Recharge Wrap-up: EV torque secrets, UC Davis maps future of biofuels
Fri, Jul 25 2014A UC Davis white paper maps out "Three Routes Forward for Biofuels," balancing investment risk with carbon benefits. The first option is "incremental," in which we tinker with the existing biofuel manufacturing infrastructure for small improvements over time. The "transitional" plan suggests integrating cellulosic production and other innovations with existing operations. The third route, called "leapfrogging," would mean building refineries based on new technology such as cellulosic and algae-based biofuels. The paper suggests ways the US could use these three routes together in different areas, and predicts the payoffs in terms of carbon emissions could be significant if the right people are willing to risk the capital. After all, financial advisers are always telling investors to diversify their portfolios to manage risk and rewards in the same way. Read more over at the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies. The Formula E Long Beach ePrix will offer free admission. The seventh round of the inaugural all-electric race season, which was moved from Los Angeles to the streets of Long Beach, will offer fans free grandstand and general admission. The race, which takes place on April 5, 2015, will use a 1.6-mile portion of IndyCar's Grand Prix of Long Beach. Read more at LA Times. Polaris is now offering its 2015 GEM electric vehicles, including the new street-legal eM1400 LSV. The passenger and utility vehicles come in two- to six-passenger configurations, many of which are street legal on roads with posted speed limits of up to 35 miles per hour. The eM1400 LSV utility vehicle seats two, offers 1,250 pounds of payload, 1,250 pounds of towing capacity, a top speed of 25 mph and a range of up to 45 miles. Its on-board charger plugs into any standard 110-volt outlet. Read more at Hybrid Cars and check out all the different configurations yourself at the Polaris website. In EVs, more torque does not always equal faster. Green Car Reports found this out when driving the Fiat 500e (with 147 pound-feet) against the similarly weighted Chevrolet Spark EV (with 400 pound-feet). The secret is, at least in part, in the gearing. The Fiat has a 9.6:1 reduction gear, making it quicker at lower speeds despite having far less available torque, while the Chevy uses a 3:1 ratio. The trade-off though, is in top speed. Furthermore, Chevy electronically limits the torque delivery at low speeds, as 400 pound-feet is a lot of launch for the little Spark EV to handle.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
