Chevrolet: Corvette on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
2005 C6 Z51 Coupe, with just over 53k miles. Im still driving this car off and on, but only to keep it in tip top condition for the next owner. It will be cleaned inside and out upon pick-up/delivery. Performance: Motor: LS2 6.0L(400hp stock), probably pushing around 450hp with the mods. It stays even with a 2005 Shelby GT500. It is equipped with the Z51 performance package that adds a stiffer suspension, performance tires, upgraded braking system, performance transmission gearing, and a transmission oil cooler! These upgrades make a significant difference in the driving experience over a base model Corvette. I put new ceramic brake pads on the front a couple thousands miles ago.Firestone tires: The fronts could probably go another 5 thousand miles, depending how you drive it. The rears have a couple thousand miles on them. I replaced them last year. The fronts cost around $125 each and the rears cost around $250 each, so a full set of firestones are around $1000.B&B bullet exhaust, pretty much the loudest but best sounding exhaust for this car on market. I do have the stock exhaust to throw in. Ram air with a K&N or similar filter. For those that are not familiar: ram air means that the faster you go, the more air you are sucking into the engine, so more available power on highways. Diablo Sport programmer, running premium octane diablo tune. The c6’s come stock with a fuel-saving feature that forces you to shift from 1st to 4th gear when driving normal. I installed a relay that disables this feature so you are free to shift into any gear, whenever you want. All recalls have been serviced. I havent touched the navigation software, mainly because I never use it for that purpose. Exterior/interior: 1SB interior package: touchscreen nav/cd unit(XM radio capable) BUT I do have an aux cord assembly hooked up to it so you can listen to your own music via a aux cord, drivers side memory package, head-up display(which is probably my favorite feature), home link transmitter, auto dimming mirrors with compass power telescopic steering column, heated driver and passenger seats.It has corvette logo carpet floor mats and trunk mat. The speakers are aftermarket, the brand is Hertz. I’d say they’re definitely comparable or better than Bose. plexiglass/tinted transparent roofGrey leather seats/ Silver exterior.Chrome corvette license plate frame for the rear. No license place on the front but I do have a detachable license plate bracket, that I never installed, I can throw in. Breathable car cover. Chrome front grill2 key Fobs (1 and 2) Keyless entryTinted windows, 35% in the front and 20% on the back. Wear and tear: It does have a 1 inch scratch on the right back panel, around a 2 inch scrape on the bottom of the driver-side door, and some type of mark in plastic on the middle console area, between the shifter, cupholders, and airbag light. The transparent sunroof does have stress marks in areas on it. And there are a few tiny nicks in the paint in the front of the car from normal highway use. Also, there are a few scratches on the front left headlight, from the previous owner. No idea how they got there but its never bothered me. Note: this is how the car always looks. I didnt clean it for these pictures, I just take care of my possessions. Its only been rained on three times in the last 7 years Ive owned it. Please contact me if you would like more pictures, or have any questions. Thanks for looking!

GM might outsource vans to AM General
Thu, Nov 26 2015General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
