Chevrolet: Corvette Lt1 on 2040-cars
Cedar Park, Texas, United States
This 2012 Torch Red C6 LT1 model Corvette coupe has been extremely well cared for and has been regularly serviced by the original dealer throughout its life. I am the second owner. The vehicle was traded in to the original dealer, I purchased the vehicle the following day with 10000 miles on the odometer. I purchased this vehicle shortly after I retired because I had been smitten with Corvette fever when they first came on the market in 1953. I was driving down the street one day and saw this car on the used car lot and thought what the heck, at least I can test drive one.. an hour later I owned it. I was a bit concerned because I had developed an intense dislike for driving any significant distance because of the boredom and general discomfort associated with long car trips.This car changed all that for us, my wife and I are always amazed at what a pleasure it is to drive. We also enjoy the waves and smiles people give us when they see the car. The discussions you can get into with other car enthusiasts are well beyond being just interesting. A couple months after purchase we decided to travel to the West coast, in preparation for the 5 to 6000 mile trip. I replaced the OEM tires at 11,000 miles with new Michelin Pilot Sport tires for improved road handling and reduced road noise (the new Michelins now have 11,300 miles on them). 80% of the accumulated miles on the car are highway cruising miles. The OEM tires are in my garage can be made available for a small cost. If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive introduction into the pleasures of driving Corvettes this may be the car for you. If you are looking for the hot rod version try the much more expensive Z0x models, they have upwards of 600hp off the factory floor. Mine has a mere 430 horsepower. Both are a hoot to drive. The original Radio/CD player has been replaced by a Pioneer AVIC 8000NEX. The AVIC 8000NEX is a full function SiriusXM/ AMFM All features of the NEX are easily reviewed by googling AVIC 8000NEX and downloading the user manual. The original manual for the NEX will be included with the car.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
