The fastest AND best handling Corvette money could buy from General Motors in 1996. I can only assume money was no issue when this car was ordered. This Corvette has the best of both worlds. Making it very versatile, more so than I thought when I purchased it some time back. The car has been out of the elements for the majority of its life. It has been adult driven, no cut wires from aftermarket stereos or hidden damage from excessively large wheels. The car does have 129,xxx miles on it, but do not let that scare you. It isn't an abused Corvette on its last leg. I have seen many Corvettes with less than 80,000 miles on them that would not compare to this car. What I was explaining about the way the car was factory ordered was that it has all of the high performance options including: the LT4 (with higher horse power than even the LS1), heavy duty 6 speed, heavier duty differential, adjustable ride control, and heavy duty cooling. But on the flip side the car was also ordered with every creature comfort including: power windows, power locks, dual power seats (many corvettes are ordered with just a power driver seat), digital air conditioning display, Bose Gold stereo with cassette and CD, Factory UV resistant glass which is very rare and greatly helps preserve the interior. This car gives you the best of both worlds in another way as well, while it is a high performance vehicle no doubt, it averages 27mpg on the interstate. I know some people say that and mean if you do 60mph with the windows up and air conditioning off, but this car actually gets 27mpg at interstate speeds with the air conditioning blowing ice cold and radio playing away. I hope the next owner enjoys this car as much as I have, if you have any questions please ask. Thank you for your time,
I will add more pictures soon, if there is anything specific you would like photos of please let me know.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
