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.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
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.
