2007 Shelby Gt500 Convertible 597 Hp 624 Ft-lb @ Rear Wheels! on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
|
I am the second owner and have had this vehicle for over three
years. I seem to only be able to keep a vehicle for about two years, then I'm looking for something else. Every time, however, I start to list this car, I go for a drive and chicken out. There is no way to have another car with this kind of experience! With the top down, hearing the supercharger and exhaust makes it difficult to want to turn on the stereo (which sounds phenomenal). Here is a summary of this car; I bought it from the original owner in December, 2010, on
Ebay. The car had 1900 miles on it and
now has approximately 17,500. Optional equipment includes; Shaker 1000 Audio system I have all receipts and paperwork for this vehicle, since new. The original owner purchased the following aftermarket
items; “Shelby” map light accessory Shift boot trim (billet) (I don't like this trim piece and do not have it in the vehicle, but I did include it in some of the photos) Cup holder trim (Billet) Dash Plaque (Autographed by Carroll Shelby w/cert of
authenticity) Shelby GT500 sill plate (2) Shelby GT500 license plate frame (Billet) K&N intake and aircharger JBA exhaust w/Shelby tips I have done a couple things to the car since I've had it; Diablo Sport Programmer/Tuner (to be included with the vehicle). The car was then dyno-ed at 500 HP and 472 Ft-Lb @ the rear wheels. Although this was a lot of power, I grew use to it and wanted more. I installed sound insulation in the trunk and rear quarter panels, as the bass from the stereo caused a metal vibration sound only noticeable when standing outside of the vehicle. The insulation took care of this issue. The original owner purchased Super Snake wheels and
tires that came with the car when I bought it.
Personally I like the original wheels, so I kept the OEM and sold the aftermarket
wheels. I rolled that money into the engine and purchased; Smaller supercharger pulley combo with idler Afco Heat Exchanger NGK spark plugs Shelby Hood Struts (replaces hood prop) The car now has 597 HP and 624 Ft-Lb @ the rear wheels, which is more than enough. This car has never been raced and only adult driven. This car will get away from you if you're too heavy footed, so you really have to drive it (which is one of the reasons the original owner sold it and one of the reasons I love it so much). My favorite part of driving this car is getting on the freeway; that is pretty much the only time I let it run out, as I do not need a ticket. Although it has 17k miles, it still looks great and has no
door dings or curb marks on the wheels. I replaced the tires about four thousand miles ago (Yokohama
AdvanSport) and a new battery 03/13. This car is not my daily driver and I pretty much only drive it when it is top down weather. Additionally, I only hand wash it. I will include the convertible boot cover and car cover. Imperfections; In my attempt to park as far away from anything in our
garage, I brushed against the garage door and scraped the paint on the right
front bumper (shown in photos). There are a couple rock chips on the hood over the left
headlight and two small rock chips on the driver side door. I attempted to photograph them, but they’re
difficult to see. Finally, there is a small chip taken out of the vinyl stripe
on the hood, by the right side windshield washer (the white paint is not
affected). I have described everything I can think of. I am a man of my word, and my feedback reflects it. If you do not have 100% positive feedback, or NO feedback, you need to contact me prior to bidding. I know the market and what this car is worth. I am starting the bidding at 33k, which is the minimum that I will even consider, as I do not need to sell. I am not interested in any trades. There is no lien on the vehicle and I have title in hand. This vehicle is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time. I have more photos available upon request. Thanks for looking, Scott 602-478-2308 |

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis
Fri, Mar 7 2014What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter
Thu, Nov 6 2014We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.
