2001 Chevrolet Corvette on 2040-cars

The original window sticker comes with the car, and indicates that this Corvette was delivered TO General Motors.
The sticker price of this car with standard equipment was $46,605; and additional equipment included Corvette
Convertible Preferred Equipment Group 1 ($1,800), polished aluminum wheels ($1,200), 6-speed manual transmission
($815), magnetic red tint coat ($600), AM/FM, stereo with CD player ($100), body-side molding ($75), floor mats
($25), destination charge ($645), for a total delivered price of $51,865.
With only 17,xxx original miles on the car when I brought it, I have added about 30,000 miles to the total over the
last 11 years, predominately highway miles with a few Florida trips thrown in. It is always garaged and covered
when not driven, and it never has been out to play in the snow, ice and salt. It does have a few minor chips on
the nose, most of which are almost invisible. The interior sun visors have had the lighted mirrors come loose.
The run-flat tires were replaced with identical tires at the 28,000-mile-mark, and a new battery was installed last
year. It has had some bodywork done at the local Chevrolet dealer after a minor parking-lot incident in 2006. and
a dented door edge (garage incident this year - opened door into wall) has been repaired.
With all that said, the car is beautiful, well-maintained, tight, fast, and so much fun to drive. The original
owner told me that he had driven the car at 175 mph on the GM test track, and I believe him - it has that much
power and control.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They 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.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
