To start, this is a very rare V54 Option Corvette, only about 2,000 v54's were made and an estimated 150 exist now! The v54 components can be found selling for around $3,000.00 alone! Anyway this car is pristine! It's show quality! Within the last year it had a frame off restoration and a show-car paint job completed at the renown Stingray Shop in Marblehead Ma. This car really moves! With all the work done on it, you tap the pedal and your pushed deep back into your seat! It has 27,000 original documented miles, and clearly has been babied its entire life as seen in the interior. The interior is totally original, leather is perfect, carpets great (original corvette floor mats) Steering wheel is superb, everything works, and it's loaded! It has power locks, power windows, heat (which is hot), a/c (which is cold), power seats, and even a rear-defroster! It has perfect original glass T-tops, all seals are tight. The "floppy-lights" work perfectly and may be one of my favorite parts of the car! Everything is matching numbers of course, and the parts that have been replaced within the last year are... distributer and cap, alternator, starter, battery, horn, carburetor, and computer (which was custom made as they don't make good ones anymore). I have receipts from the last two years for over $15,000.00 which I would be happy to show any potential buyer. The paint job on this car is pristine, a lot of people say the paint on their car is perfect and then there are scratches and blemishes to be found... but this car had a show-car paint job just completed 3 months ago, you will not find a single imperfection... anywhere! The custom exhaust is adjustable for volume and performance, and Gas isn't even that bad on it, I typically get around 17-20 mpg. I am not happy to let this car go and definitely my favorite car in the world, but I'm moving across the country and won't have the space for it :( Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
