The rest:
This car was built to be an efficient, powerful, reliable daily driver that you could beat up on the strip for fun.  I built this car in 2008 and been driving it ever since.  I’ve put over 35K miles on this combo since then.  Its current combo has ran a best of 11.26@118MPH with a 1.59 60’.  The tune I run on it makes approx. 600hp at the crank (475RWHP) and about 1000ft lbs of torque.  This is the same tune I run every day, to and from work, to and from my kids school, softball practice……… anywhere.  It’s also the same tune we ran the 11.26 on………….  Just change the tires and it’s on.  This is a proven street car, daily driver, race car, commuter car, attention getter………….  Anything you can imagine, this car has it.  It gets 30+ miles to the gallon with this same tune up, if you even breathe on the throttle it will light up the rear tires.  This is a clean tune 475RWHP (no smoke!!!) has been chassis dynoed, mid 11’s, 30+MPG commuter muscle car that you can drive anywhere you want and get fuel at any fuel station in the world.  There is nothing like this on the planet.  Only a few have been able to accomplish this feat, literally only 3 that I know of with a Chevelle, but none perform this well on the strip.
This car has been in Diesel Power, Diesel World and Chevy Hi-Performance Magazines multiple times.  It’s had multiple online articles in Chevy Hardcore, Diesel World and Powerblock.  It’s currently on the Hughes Performance Webpage and has hundreds of thousands (100k+) of hits on YouTube, key words duramax chevelle, diesel chevelle, diesel car, triple threat racing.  This is the car featured on Facebook Triple Threat Duramax chevelle.
Folks I love this car, it’s part of my family.  My kids love this car, my wife tolerates this car, lol and I am the Diesel Chevelle man.  But life has a way of making changes for you.  It’s time to make some big changes and selling this car is the first step in making some big dreams come true. 
Good luck happy bidding and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
My name is Rick and the car is located in Northern Ca.  Shipping is negotiable.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?

Fri, Jul 21 2017

General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.
