You are bidding on a very well maintained and very great condition 2001 Chevrolet Corvette. I am the second owner of the car my father was the original owner of the car he bought it brand new right off the showroom floor in 2001. So i've been by the car's side since day one. I hate to get rid of it because I know how the car was treated from day one and it was properly cared for and broken in but due to certain circumstances I must let her go. Some information about the car it comes with every option avaiable at the time in 2001 head's up display, cd, power everything and even has the Z51 handeling package. It does come with BOTH removeable tops the factory one and the clear glass one with leather case for when the other one isn't in use (see pics). It also has a Noah car cover that i'm throwing in with it to it's a all weather cover for indoor and outdoor use and it's guranteed to keep the car 15 degress cooler when it's outside during the day. I have done a lil add on here and there to dress it up NOTHING to the engine besides K&N air filter. It has the euro headlights as seen in pic I got tired of the factory one's so I wanted to change it out to the euro one's they are hid's. The original headlights will come with the car if you decied you want to go back to the original pop up lights. It has tinited windows and a a decal here and there just to add a lil spice to the car. Never had any major problems besides battery gone dead light bulbs or belts nothing but just minor things or just regular maintenance. Keep in mind it is a used car so there is a scratch here and there but I assure you nothing major I get compliments every where I go on how she shines. Has been waxed with meguire's products every six months since day one allway's parked in the garage overnight and alway's a car cover on when parked outside of work during the day as to reduce sun damage etc. I have all the manuals that came with the car and even the window sticker that was on it when my father purchased it brand new in 2001. The tires are brand new just about I replaced the tires at the end of Dec. 2012 the brakes are good stops on a dime car runs perfect like it did when it was brand new in 2001 and everything works as electrical a/c blows ice cold and heater warms right up to keep you warm on a cold day/night. It also comes with 2 sets of keys. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message and I will respond asap I might have left a little something out here and there but that pretty much covers it! Happy bidding and goodluck!!

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Is the skill of rev matching being lost to computers?
Fri, Oct 9 2015If the ability to drive a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox is becoming a lost art, then the skill of being able to match revs on downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. The usefulness of rev matching in street driving is limited most of the time – aside from sounding cool and impressing your friends. But out on a race track or the occasional fast, windy road, its benefits are abundantly clear. While in motion, the engine speed and wheel speed of a vehicle with a manual transmission are kept in sync when the clutch is engaged (i.e. when the clutch pedal is not being pressed down). However, when changing gear, that mechanical link is severed briefly, and the synchronization between the motor and wheels is broken. When upshifting during acceleration, this isn't much of an issue, as there's typically not a huge disparity between engine speed and wheel speed as a car accelerates. Rev-matching downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. But when slowing down and downshifting – as you might do when approaching a corner at a high rate of speed – that gap of time caused by the disengagement of the clutch from the engine causes the revs to drop. Without bringing up the revs somehow to help the engine speed match the wheel speed in the gear you're about to use, you'll typically get a sudden jolt when re-engaging the clutch as physics brings everything back into sync. That jolt can be a big problem when you're moving along swiftly, causing instability or even a loss of traction, particularly in rear-wheel-drive cars. So the point of rev matching is to blip the throttle simultaneously as you downshift gears in order to bring the engine speed to a closer match with the wheel speed before you re-engage the clutch in that lower gear, in turn providing a much smoother downshift. When braking is thrown in, you get heel-toe downshifting, which involves some dexterity to use all three pedals at the same time with just two feet – clutch in, slow the car while revving, clutch out. However, even if you're aware of heel-toe technique and the basic elements of how to perform a rev match, perfecting it to the point of making it useful can be difficult.
Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?
Thu, Jun 23 2016The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
