Up for sale is one Caprice PPV Police Vehicle. Privately Owned, I purchased this vehicle NEW on July 25, 2012 from Coughlin Automotive Columbus, Ohio. FULL GM warranty bumper to bumper transferable to new owner. 100% stock. This vehicle is not sold to the general public new. I am a police officer so I was able to purchase it new. I can tell you that this vehicle is far superior to a Charger Hemi or a Ford Interceptor (Taurus SHO). It is a bare bones, kick a** hot rod sedan right out of the box. This is better performer than a Pontiac G8 GT because the shift algorithm is set for the absolute best upshifts and downshifts (during aggressive driving) without regard to fuel mileage. It also will detect aggressive driving and downshift automatically to the best gear and hold that gear until redline for powering out of curves, etc. (called pursuit mode). It also has heavy duty suspension and unibody. No Pontiac GT/GXP or even the new $44,000 SS has that. With the L77 (LS2) with 355 HP and 385 torque this car will pull 0-60 very fast but the torque along with the 6 speed transmission will absolutely blow your mind at highway speeds. This vehicle has a top speed of 155 MPH. it will stop in 129 feet from 60-0 the fastest stop time of any police vehicle. The engine is a L77 which is basically a LS2 with L92 rectangular port heads (823 casting), Electronic throttle with 90mm body, High capacity fuel injectors (for E85) and a LS3 intake from the Corvette. This engine can easily be tuned to produce over 400 Horsepower on premium fuel or E85. This vehicle has cylinder deactivation for fuel economy. MSRP new $32,180 Feel free to message or email any questions. Full documentation along with many news articles and video's on this super car included

Installed in this vehicle (see pics, mounted below the climate controls in dash) is a JVC CD/MP3/IPOD BLUETOOTH STEREO WITH REMOTE CONTROL, MICROPHONE AND FULL BLUETOOTH PHONE INTREGRATION AND STREAMING AUDIO. 4 NEW SONY 6.5 INCH DOOR SPEAKERS, 4 CHANNEL 50 WATT PER CHANNEL CLARION AMPLIFIER, KICKER SOLO BARIC 12" SUBWOOFER WITH SEPERATE CERWIN VEGA 500 WATT MONO AMPLIFIER. The factory stereo/cd is still operational and feeds into the center dash speaker. It is not upgradeable to Bluetooth in the police vehicle in the USA so I installed the aftermarket unit.
Nice aftermarket center console with cup holders front and rear and large locking storage bin installed.
The roominess in this vehicle is amazing. It has roughly the same room in the back seat as a Lexus LS460L or a BMW 7 series, both of those vehicles are over $70,000. The trunk is also very big, much bigger than the Charger. The rear seat vinyl looks and feels like leather, it has the same stitching as leather. The front seats are 1/2 vinyl (upper) and cloth (lower) and looks very nice. 6 way power seats with power lumbar and recliner
This vehicle is basically a stretched wheelbase Holden Commodore and sold as the Holden Statesman/Caprice in Australia and the Chevrolet Caprice in the Middle East. Built on the GM Zeta platform, it shares this platform with the Camaro and the new SS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Zeta_platform
Camaro and Pontiac G8 wheels can be mounted to this vehicle and there are many aftermarket wheels in 18 and 19 inch sizes that will make this vehicle more sporty looking (see pics)

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.
