US $24,900.00
Year:2005 Mileage:60500
Location:

Up for sale a beautiful, highly upgraded 2005 Chevrolet Corvette that just passed 60k miles.  

 

I bought this car in TX a few years back and have loved every minute of driving it.  Sadly the AF has moved me out to CA and due to the performance upgrades I can't register it here.  Since the registration from SC is going to run out soon, I am forced to part with it.  Your chance to get a great car with a lot of awesome work done to it.  This car is fully loaded with just about every option, at the bottom of the listing I’ll include the codes and associated options so you can see exactly what it has.

 

Upgrades to this car include the following:

 

Full rework of the clutch and clutch system including:

 

Tick & Monster Complete Clutch Swap Package ($1250)

http://www.tickperformance.com/tick-monster-complete-clutch-swap-package-05-08-corvette-z06/

 

This clutch is fully adjustable to your preference and bleeding the entire system is now super easy because I have installed a remote bleeder line. All the hydraulic lines are now braided stainless (far better them GMs rubber hoses) and routed far away from the exhaust heat.  Nothing to worry about with your clutch again.

 

All new exhaust system from block to tips including:

 

Melrose Motorsports LS2 Corvette Header system ($1600) http://www.melrosecorvette.com/2005-2007-ls2-corvette-header-system/

 

            LG Motorsports GT4 cat-back muffler kit ($1000)

http://www.lgmotorsports.com/product_info.php?cPath=343_435&products_id=2070

 

Here’s the deal with this exhaust, I got a good deal on the LG mufflers so I thought I would try them.  Personally, they are too loud for me and there is some drone between about 1800 and 2500 RPM.  I bought a lightly used Z06 exhaust that I was planning on swapping out but have just run out of time and now am deploying soon.  Let me know if you would like me to include the Z06 exhaust (worth a few hundred at least) or even have it swapped out prior to having the car sent to you. 

 

Suspension and chassis work to include:

 

Replacing sway bars, shocks and mono leafs with almost new OEM Z51 components and lowering the car appx 1” ($500).

 

A new heat-shielded tunnel brace ($120). The car is much stiffer, the tunnel brace controls the body and frame flex and also shields the interior from the exhaust heat. 

 Overall the car rides much better, has tighter control with less roll and sway in the turns.  

 

All new intake system including:

 

Vararam VR-SC1 Gen2 SnakeCharmer cold air intake ($300)

http://www.vararam.com/sc1.html

 

I had both the throttle body and intake plenum bored and polished ($300)

 

New spark plugs and MSD Super Conductor wires ($150)

 

New Duralast Gold Battery ($140)

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Duralast-Gold-Battery/2005-Chevrolet-Corvette/_/N-jmmnqZacy27?itemIdentifier=21878_817422_0_

 

 

I also sent the ECU out for tuning to take advantage of the new airflow and increase throttle response and performance.  They also programmed out the 1-4 skip-shift so now you get to decide what gear you want to be in, not the car. ($150)

 

Interior:

 

Sound and heat deadening throughout entire cabin ($400) This greatly reduces the heat soak into the cabin and makes it where you don’t need to run your AC just to make a drive livable. No more hot drinks in the cup holders!

 

Hydrocarbon wrapped center console finished in 2008 GM Hydrocarbon ($300)

http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Carbon-Fiber-Corvette-Radio-Center-Console-for-C6-Corvette.html

 

Matching carbon fiber door release bezels ($140)

http://www.performancecorvettes.com/products/Corvette-C6-Carbon-Fiber-Door-Release-Bezels.html

 

Kenwood DVD/Navigation system ($200)

 

 

At around 56k miles the anti-theft column steering lock sounded a little slow to retract so I had the Chevrolet dealership in Mt Pleasant, SC replace the entire pin motor assembly ($1000).  While there, I had them perform the TSB/service bulletins to install a new under dash wiring clip and replace the recalled removable hood panel.   

 

I also had a Corvette specialty shop (MSI Corvettes in Roseville, CA - http://motorsportimage.com) preemptively replace the harmonic balancer once I got to 60k miles. ($1000) They also replaced all the belts and gave the car a thorough check. 

 

Again, only selling this car because the AF moved me to CA and can’t register it here and I’m being deployed out before too long.  I need to sell it relatively soon and this is a great chance for you to get a car with all the work done and at a deep discount to you. 

 

This car has always been smoke and pet free.  There are some smell scratches and scuffs here and there which I have close up pics of and can send your way.  Right now one of the TPMS is reading zero so I’ll take it to the dealership this week to have it checked out, I’m suspecting it needs to be re-calibrated.

 

I have over 80 pictures of the car and it’s easy for me to take more of anything requested.  Just let me know what you would like.  Please contact me with any questions you have, I’m working evenings this weekend but will find time to talk with you about any questions you have. 

 

Included:

 CarCraft Custom fit cover ($200)

2 Keyless remotes and keys

 

Shipping:

 I realize that the buyer will most likely be outside of CA and as such I will drive the car  up to 2 hours (ie Reno, NV)  Even if you decide to have the car shipped I could drop it off in NV to save some on shipping costs.  Contact me and we can work out any details. 

 

Payment: 

 Paypal works great for deposits, we can work out the details on the payment method, but money orders or cashier’s checks would be the easiest. 

 

Clear SC Title. No Salvage History. No Rebuilt History. No Flood Damage. No Liens.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Buick Velite is a not-so-Volt-like plug-in hybrid concept for China

Mon, Nov 7 2016

Is the Buick Velite a Volt by any other name? That's a question worth asking after General Motors said that the Buick Velite concept vehicle will make its global debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show later this month. GM says the car "will provide a template for upcoming models being launched under the Buick Blue new energy vehicle strategy." Whether that means the Velite is a variant of the second-generation of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in is open to interpretation. Some automotive publications, including Autoweek, are saying that's the case, but GM China doesn't mention the Volt in its press release, only saying that the car is a "high-performance" plug-in hybrid vehicle. As we know, GM doesn't use the "PHEV" descriptor for the Volt, which makes us thing the Velite's powertrain is more like the Cadillac CT6 PHEV. Either way, the concept was developed by the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC), which is a joint venture between GM and Shanghai-based SAIC. As far as the name, GM has been shopping the Velite moniker around for a while now. The automaker first used Buick Velite for the convertible concept vehicle it showed off at the 2004 New York Auto Show. More recently, GM in 2014 filed to use the name for the US variant of its Opel Cascada four-seat convertible model, which debuted in 2013. As for the second-generation version of the Volt, that model appears to be gaining favor in the US. Domestic sales of the Volt through October have surged 64 percent from a year earlier to more than 18,500 units. The new version boosted its all-electric range by 40 percent to 53 miles while increasing its power output by 20 percent.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
