A great driver, this C5 is cosmetically stock, the only performance enhancements made being to improve its use as a road car: - Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires with less than 1000 miles; front and rear alignment performed during tire installation - 180°F thermostat with the fans start and shut off temps reset to match the lower operating temperature - Throttle body hot water heat circuit bypassed and auxiliary (front) hood seal installed, both for improved air flow and cooling capability - New +4Bosch Platinum Spark Plugs and MSD Plug Wires installed - Torque converter lockup speed reset to 60 mph from the stock 35-40 mph resulting in way better in town performance and no engine lugging in 4th gear - Cooling system, transmission, rear axle and brake systems flushed and refilled with the correct OEM fluids +/- October 2014. Engine oil (synthetic) and filter annually. - Cat back exhaust upgraded with MagnaFlow forward mufflers and X pipe leading into an OEM Z06 titanium muffler set yielding a quiet but powerful note (with no baffle rattles) - Steering lock and turn signal circuit issues fully resolved (a common C5 problem). - New battery June 2016 A note on the wheels: they are OEM polished aluminum (not the cheap chrome after market style) and were restored by being tank striped, repolished then clear powder coated A close look at the car's front (see applicable pix) will show some parking bumper originated scratches to the underside of the nose most likely by the first owner (couldn't have been me)...otherwise the overall finish is nearly blemish free.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1
Thu, 28 Feb 2013During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
