What we have here is the almost completion of an awesome autocross contender or an awesome pro touring car if that is what you prefer. It has the best of everything and will make someone a show type car that will run with the best of them. I have over $56,500 in parts alone so far in this car and I have the receipts to prove it. That does not include the labor we have invested in it which is probably another $20,000 to $30,000 to say the least. Here is a description of what parts we have purchased, mocked up or installed on the car. On the front, it has a Detroit Speed front clip with the LS engine motor mount options and has been powder coated black. We installed a set of Baer 6 piston Pro plus brake kit with all new proportioning valve, lines and master cylinder. On the rear, it has a Heidts independent rear suspension with a Ford 9" pumpkin and 390 gears. I bought it with the chrome brakes, parking brake kit and it is also powder coated. The engine has a high performance LS6 out of an SS 2001 Camaro with new 3.905" bore Mahle forged pistons, new rods and new crank that was internally balanced. It is built to 10.21 to 1 compression ratio. The block was line bored, line honed and square decked. It has ARP head studs, Clevite main and rod bearings, durabond cam bearings, Comp Cams push rods, custom Comp Cams camshaft degreed per specs, new knock sensors and wiring harness, GM Performance head gaskets, double roller timing chain set, B&M flexplate, Fel Pro gaskets throughout, Proform high torque starter, F.A.S.T. precision flow injectors, GM Performance oil pump, NGK spark plugs, ATI SFI Harmonic Balancer, set of custom LS coil brackets, MSD coils, new bypass tubing and seals, new MAF sensor, ARP flex plates bolts, ARP stainless header studs and ARP balancer bolt. We have all the blueprint clearances available for whomever purchases the car. I had custom Forgeline Wheels made for the offsets we needed on the car. The fronts are 9" wide and the rears are 12" wide. The front tires are BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW 255/35R 18 and the rears are 335/30 18's. I have new carpet, vintage air ac/heat system which has been mock fit, Corbeau racing seats and sliding brackets that are already installed, new Be Cool Aluminum Radiator, new aluminum fuel cell with an Autometer in the tank A-1000 Stealth fuel pump, new autometer fuel filters, new Lemon headers that still need to be ceramic coated, a custom drive shaft, custom transmission support, painless 18 circuit wiring harness, painless engine fuel injection wiring harness, Lokar billet gas pedal and matching brake pedal, Flaming River tilt steering column, new bumper brackets that have been powder coated, dynamat sound deadener, SCE copper header gaskets, Locar billet door handles, electric window kits installed on door windows, new electric window switch kit, new Optima battery, new powder coated radiator core support, custom steel factory hood with SS chevelle hood scoops and new chrome inserts, a Phoenix Transmissions 4L80E and the engine has a Vintage Air Front Runner serpentine system in polished aluminum. The body has been put on a rotisserie and blasted. All the bad metal has been replaced including both full quarters, both rocker panels, both pillar posts, and the floors had been replaced before I got this project. The deck lid will need to be replaced because someone warped it and it had a lot of bondo. The front windshield has been flush mounted to get rid of the wind noise and drag associated with older car designs. The firewall has already been painted GM pearl white which is one of the colors we had anticipated on using when we finish painted the car. Almost everything on the car is new including the custom guages in the dash. I am sure I left some stuff out, but if you know anything about building cars you can see that we didn't cut corners!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.

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.

Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
