Hey Guys,
For sale here is my pride and joy. I've put alot of care, time and sweat into building it. She is a 1989 c4 coupe, millennium yellow with the z51 handling package. This car will be a heck of a deal for anyone. You CANNOT build a motor/car combo like this for less than my asking price. Save the time and money and benefit from my and Jim's work and enjoy a turn key hardcore street car combo.
My wife and I bought a house last year May, and we're doing a full remodel. I just don't have the time to work on the her anymore and I can't justify letting this much money sit. It will pay for the materials an addition I'm drafting up. She has 114k original miles on the body. I purchased it in December of 2010 on corvette forum from another member and it has been a long road of expensive modding ever since. It had at the time a fully forged 355 with a hot cam, edelbrock heads, miniram etc. But i wanted way more power, and soon after got in touch with Jim and we made big plans. The previous owner babied the crud out of this car, washing waxing etc. garage kept and so have I. I have kept it in an air-conditioned garage and covered. The entire drive train, minus the transmission, has just under 5,000 miles !!
This motor was hand built and tuned by Jim Barth, who has an outstanding reputation on the corvette forums. I flew him out here once I installed the motor and properly broke it in so we could spend a few days tuning it. You will be nothing shy of astounded of the quality, power, and sound this motor delivers. It idles at around 925rpm and is extremely smooth, there is next to no shaking even with the 3.875 stroke. The entire rotating assembly was balanced to within half a gram! It has never been dyno'd but it will make 550hp at the flywheel with no problem. I never got a chance to put nitrous on the car but had plans to, it's built and capable of handling a 200+ shot. I cut absolutely zero corners when having the motor built and used top of the line parts, all engine internals are forged (details below). I'd rather take alittle longer and do it right than rush it and regret something later. To name a few the machine work was $1100, the rotating assembly was close to $2500 and the cyl heads were just over $2000!
An oem Factory Service Manual will be included. I also have ALL the receipts for EVERYTHING that has gone into this car. I have various factory parts that will be included too.

- The gauge cluster stopped working. When i bought the car it worked perfectly but has since stopped. I checked the fuse but it must be either the internal power supply or a failed solder joint which is easily fixed. I can provide an excellent contact that specializes in fixing these clusters.
I bought the car for $7500 in 2010 and have receipts for over $12,000 in parts. I can provide a detailed list with prices upon request(excel spreadsheet)

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
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.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
