This is a 1983 Guldstrand GSS Camaro, modified new by legendary race car driver Dick Guldstrand at Guldstrand Motorsports. This is one of a handful ever made. I will do the best to tell you ever detail about this car that we (Guldstrand and I) have uncovered thus far. This car is in the process of being documented, and at the time of final sale will include a certificate of authenticity from Guldstrand Motorsports ensuring this car is the real thing. I have been in contact with Guldstrand, and have been informed this was the only Camaro they built that was sold new at Berger Chevrolet, near me in Grand Rapids, MI. These cars were available from mild to wild. Two press cars were fitted with superchargers, several with the stock 305 4bbl, and 2 with a 350 cubic inch GM crate engine. The best info I can find says this engine was rated at 249HP/329FT/LB. It still has the "HENCHO EN MEXICO" 4 bolt crate engine in the car, with the correct original 83 aluminum 4bbl intake manifold. This car was in the process of being converted to an automatic transmission, which is sitting in the car now. The clutch pedal, and cable are still in place. It is also fitted with the correct originally equipped EPSILON 15x8 mesh wheels, and I have all 4 centercaps as well. It is also equipped with a GM Performance parts 140 speedometer originally, which is retains. The primary mod, and claim to fame on these cars were the suspension modifications, which Guldstrand Motorsports is most known for. This car has all urethane bushings through out, from new, and retains them. These were tested and pulled .94g on the skidpad. Truly amazing, and rare, and in my opinion worthy of a restoration.

This is a non running car, I do not know if the engine will run or not. There is some rust through the floorboard on the driver side, under the pedals. There is also a spot on the drivers A pillar, and above the drivers door. I have included pictures of these spots. I am selling this car as needing a full restoration, and it is not currently drive-able, but can be rolled on to trailer. I've rescued it, but cannot afford to restore it, and would hate to see it hot rodded because it is, to the best information I can find, the only 1983 Guldstrand Camaro that is known to still exist. All of the parts to restore the suspension are still available from Guldstrand, right off the shelf. Any questions, ask, and I will do my best to answer them, and as stated, when you take delivery this car will include a certificate of authenticity. The car is worth $1500 in parts quite easily, but as I said, I would like to see it restored and maintained, because it is a true piece of Camaro history, and one of, if not the rarest 3rd generation camaro.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
