For you speed readers just interested in hitting the high
spots... This resto mod 1971 Nova is all new from top to
bottom and front to back. It’s equipped with an aluminum LS3 small
block, built turbo 400 and high performance suspension. It’s a
culmination of remarkably talented people and carefully chosen parts which were
blended into a tastefully finished thrill ride.
For those of you interested in more details, please read on… Renowned fabricator, painter and muscle rod builder Russ Cowart, of Restorations by Russ in Dawsonville Georgia, took on this project and began by fully disassembling the Nova down to its very core. The body was placed on a rotisserie rack and every inch was stripped to the bare metal. Each of the body panels, undercarriage and the engine compartment were primed and sanded many times before Russ applied those deep glossy coats of GM silver and blue accent stripes. During the careful reassembly of the body parts, close attention was given to the fit and alignment of every seam and opening. New tinted glass, rubber moldings, chrome bumpers and trim pieces were installed as the car came back together. While the body was being worked over, Gary Grimes of Twister Engines in Alpharetta Georgia assembled an intense 6.2 liter aluminum block LS3 engine which was bored and stroked to 420 cubic inches. The L-92 aluminum heads were milled, CNC ported and outfitted with an array of custom spec Comp Cams roller valve train parts. The high flowing Grimes fabricated intake manifold received a direct port, stage 3 CNC runner port and polish treatment. The bullet proof bottom end features a Callies Ultra Billet crankshaft spinning Callies forged CompStar rods and full floating JE pistons with Hell Fire rings. The short block was expertly machined and assembled using high performance ARP hardware from top to bottom. Once everything was checked and lubed, the engine was saddled to Twister’s dyno for a proper break in and tuning session. When the tweaked Holley 750 carb was opened up, the motor instantly screamed to 7000 rpms and the numbers produced were nothing short of amazing. This powerful monster kicked out 696 horsepower and 560 pound feet of torque on pump gas! For comparison, a new $125,000 ZR-1 Corvette makes 638 horsepower with its Supercharged 427 motor. Achieving 696 wicked horses with fewer cubic inches in naturally aspirated form is truly exceptional. With this much power on tap, we knew the rest of the drive train would require substantial upgrades to safely keep up. The task of changing gears was assigned to a custom built TCI turbo 400 automatic transmission and matched to a modified TCI 1800 rpm stall convertor. A severe duty aluminum driveshaft was installed along with the necessary adapter yokes and high strength Spicer u-joints. A Hurst Pro-Matic 2 shifter makes short work of the quick gear changes. The Nova’s chassis was next in line for modification and after many hours of priming and sanding it was sprayed with several coats of slick body matching color. Detroit Speed supplied one of their Speed 3 front end suspension kits which according to the manufacture is “The most advanced handling system you can buy for use with the stock subframe” and we wholeheartedly agree! The Speed 3 kit features tubular upper and lower control arms, specific rate coil over springs, specific valved aluminum shocks and an anti-roll bar. An optional high rate, ceramic finish steering box was also installed. These additions delivered outstanding corner carving, high performance steering. To keep the rear end planted, the fragile factory leaf springs were replaced with a high strength Detroit Speed “QuadraLink” suspension built around a Ford 9” rear end with 3.50 gears. Their exclusive 4-link geometry is designed to achieve the best possible handling on the road or track. The new "Swivel-Link” allows the rear suspension to fully articulate with smooth solid motion and no binding by using tuned high durometer rubber bushings (in place of heim joints or squeaky urethane bushings). An adjustable panhard rod provides precise and effective rear axle lateral location during hard cornering. A set of steel mini tubs were welded in to make room for the narrowed 9” rear and wide 18” x 10” Foose Nitrous wheels the Nova would soon be wearing. With plenty of “Go” power under foot, it was time to add some serious braking to the “Whoa” pedal. A Baer extreme performance 4 wheel disk brake system was installed and provides massive amounts of quick, controlled stopping power. With the Nova now in full rolling trim, it was time to create a comfortable and complimentary interior for this bad boy. Before the getting started, Dynomat sound dampening material was applied to the entire compartment to keep the outside noises, outside. Adding to the cool while cruising, is a Vintage Air A/C system which fits and works like a cold blowing factory option. The windows were converted to power and the controls are housed in a flowing front to rear center console. Finish Line Interiors in Jasper Georgia stitched the beautiful grey and blue leather over a set of body hugging front and rear bucket seats. The distinctive, handcrafted door and trunk panels are exclusively unique and display imaginative design and color coordination. With no detail left undone, this Nova is incredibly fast and ready for the summer show circuit, a cruise down Main Street and maybe a few magazine photo shoots. An equivalent top quality Nova couldn’t be built for less money if you did all the work yourself. Don’t let this outstanding vehicle deal get away.

Chevy SS to get 1LE-like handling pack
Tue, Feb 17 2015Chevrolet engineers have more plans for the SS, but official approval stands between their wishes and our driving commands. After getting the no-cost option for a six-speed manual last year, Motor Trend reports that some company boffins want to throw the Camaro's track-focused 1LE package at it. On the Camaro that means the Performance Ride and Handling suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and 20-inch wheels all around concerning the road-focused bits. MT says that a 1LE on the SS would shed the staggered tires for one size all around, and get new dampers and a new suspension tune. It wouldn't turn the SS into a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, but the SS could do even more with its 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet, hopefully without sacrificing too much of its plush road comfort in the process. It's said that a production example could be done in less than six months, but it sounds like the approval process will take longer.

First 2016 Chevy Volt commercial rocks us to sleep
Fri, Jan 30 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Volt, with its thorough restyling and increased all-electric range, is an exciting evolution of Chevy's groundbreaking plug-in hybrid, so it's only fitting that the commercial campaign to sell it to the masses also be engaging and vibrant. Well, the first ad has just been officially released and it rocks... us to sleep. Now, we get that General Motors didn't want to repeat past Volt-commercial mistakes. No one wants to see dogs licking feet or dumb (and weirdly horny) aliens again. Nor would it be smart to slam all-electric vehicles, since it now sells the Spark EV and has just revealed its 200-mile Bolt concept. So, what does that leave? How about a mostly computer-generated spot that relies on cliche images and an upbeat synthetic soundtrack to communicate that the Volt is now as boring as other four-door appliances? An intro, featuring a lightly-bearded gentleman peering at his tablet through designer glasses launches us into the action as the Volt makes its way across a city bridge, then a curvaceous country road. Chevrolet doesn't include voiceover to inform you that the new Volt has a 50-mile battery-only range. There's no mention of its gas mileage once its electric charge is depleted – items that just might be of importance to hybrid buyers. The ad also makes no attempt at establishing an emotional connection, either through drama or comedy. There are, however, lots of fast cuts of the new, normalized interior, including a two-second detail shot featuring the windshield wiper switch. We imagine that this is only the first in a series of spots that will tell the Volt story and motivate potential buyers to run down to their local dealer, hopefully the next spots will be more interesting and informative.

1 in 7 Americans say they might buy an EV next, as sales of electrics surge
Wed, Apr 26 2017About one in seven driving Americans may likely purchase an electric vehicle as their next car, according to an AAA poll, meaning that as many as 30 million Americans may pony up for an EV within the next three to five years. While some of the motivation is environmental, survey recipients say that lower maintenance expenses and solo access to high-occupancy-vehicle lanes are also among the factors behind potentially going electric. Take a look at the AAA press release on the study here. The poll indicates that about as many people are planning to buy an EV for their next car as are looking to buy a pickup, which is impressive given that the best-selling US vehicle is the Ford F-150. And things should only improve, as about 20 percent of millennials polled said that their next car would probably be an EV. The results are all the more encouraging, at least among green-car advocates, because gas prices have fallen about 40 percent within the past five years, meaning that there's less of an incentive to go electric from a purely economic perspective. Through the first quarter of this year, US plug-in vehicle sales were up about 63 percent from a year earlier to about 39,000 vehicles. Meanwhile, when it came to AAA's annual green-vehicle awards for this year, Tesla's Model S and Model X took the large car and SUV categories, respectively, while the Chevrolet Bolt and Volkswagen e-Golf were listed atop the subcompact and compact lists. The Lexus GS 450h hybrid and the Ford F-150 took home AAA's best green vehicle in the midsize and pickup truck categories. Related Video:
