2001 Chevrolet Corvette with APS twin turbo kit and built motor.  I have receipts for over $30,000 in modifications to the car.  The vehicle has been professionally built and tuned and is very fast.  There is less than 5000 kms on the rebuilt engine and performance upgrades.  Please don't let the rebuilt status of this car scare you away, this Corvette has been completely redone and is in excellent condition. 

I must sell this car and the low reserve price reflects this.

Here is a list of the modifications that were made:

Performance Updgrades:
- Air Power Systems (APS) twin turbo kit
- DM performance Engine Main Girdle
- Forged Pistons
- H-Beam Rods
- Custom Grind Comp Cam
- Patriot Performance Stage 2 heads
- ARP head studs
- RPM stage 5 automatic transmission
- Dewitts radiator
- Dewitts aluminum radiator shroud with 2 12 inch high performance Spal fans
- 2800 stall torque convertor
- East Coast Superchargers return fuel system (60 lb injectors, fuel pump, boost referenced regulator)

Other Upgrades
- Car was painted last year
- Viper alarm and command start with 2 way remote
- eboost 2 boost controller (the boost controller has not been programmed yet)
- Autometer nexus gauges (boost, fuel pressure)
- 20 inch (rear) 19 inch (front) Cray rims

 Also, please note that the odometer in the car currently only shows 10,413 miles.  I have documentation stating that the computer was changed at 18,000 miles (the original miles have not yet been added back on to the computer).

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
