Here we go! As I am slowly deciding to grow up I have decided to let my Camaro go! I have owned this car for almost 7 years. I am deciding to sell this car because I want to purchase a nicer family vehicle. This is not my daily driver I rarely drive this car at all. However, when I do the neighbor hood or the city knows it. The car is very clean and gets a lot of looks. This is partially due to it being a muscle car and it sounds like a beast. I have two other vehicles and do not need to sell this car in anyway. Moreover, I am choosing to sell this car because I want something better for my family. I never intended on selling this car. All work that has been performed on this car has been done professionally. I did not keep the receipts as I never intended on selling this car. I am in the process of getting the receipts as proof and if anyone is really concerned business numbers can be provided to you or googled. Collins Automotive Waterford, MI. (built motor and put car together) D&D performance 6 speed specialists in Wixom, MI. (built the viper spec T56) and Midwest Chassis Performance in IL. (built the fab 9" rear).
This car has been very fun and it is an awesome car. The only thing I can honestly say that I did not or do not enjoy about it is the amount of money I have put into the car. This will benefit who ever decides to purchase the car as I have never been able to find a deal like this or even a car with some good parts when purchasing the several other muscle cars I have owned through out my life. This car has been on 3 different dyno's I have had two different tuners and several people tell me I am crazy if I let the car go for less than $15,000. Ultimately I would be more satisfied with that even though that is still a huge loss for me. I have well over 15k into motor trans and rear which all have less than 6,000 miles on them. However, the reserve is set much much lower than that. If anyone is truly interested in the car text or call me 606-416-2667 and I can text you a clip of the car at idle or maybe even take a new video to satisfy you. Now Parts! I will miss several things as I probably do not even remember what all I have put on the car. Motor is a 408 stroker iron block. The block was x-rayed to assure there were no issues. Bored .30 over. The rotating assembly is new and was balanced at the machine shop as well. The bottom end is identical to the LS7 same crank and titanium connecting rods. Custom grind comp cam with .625 lift, Lunati beehive dual valve spring kit LS3 heads from Brian Tooley with TDA valve job, LS3 intake and 42# injectors, SLP flopack with smooth bellows, 92mm Godspeed ported throttle body. Viper spec T56 6 speed manual transmission which is a nasty trans big difference in gear ratio from stock to viper spec, Monster level 3 clutch, Pro 5.0 shifter after market shortened drive shaft. Midwest Chassis and performance fabricated 9" rear end with 389 gears and trutrak. The rear came with the great fab 9" set up everything is adjustable from the tunnel mounted torque arm (with drive shaft safety loop on torque arm bracket mount) lower control arms and 4 way adjustable strange shocks. UMI pan hard bar relocation kit. I did have 243 ported heads on this car and have had 3 different intakes on the car as well. I have even had four different exhausts on it as well. The current set up is 3 inch true duals with magnaflo x pipe and all madrel bends over the rear end. The exhaust is loud and very aggressive people know when you are coming. I also have 1 7/8 stainless steel Texas Speed long tube headers on the car as well. I also recently put new pads and rotors on all four wheels. Went with power stop slotted and cross drilled rotors. I also performed the heater hose mod for the rear springs to level out the car. I have lowering springs as well but with the true duals there was only 2" of ground clearance so I put stock springs back on. I also have a extra pair of like new tires, a couple magnaflo mufflers and a stainless x pipe that will all go with the car. Honesty! The car has been to the drag strip one time after my biggest build. The set up was with the 243 heads and LS6 intake as well as SLP loudmouth exhaust and Pacesetter 1 3/4 Longtube headers. I believe all those cubes were being choked a little. I made 5 passes all ranged between 11.98-12.10. I also had Toyo Drag Radials that had been on the car for about 2 years. Now the car has the LS3 heads and intake which gave me 40 rwhp on the dyno alone (dyno dynamics before and after numbers were a gain of 40) plus bigger headers and 3" true duals so who knows what I really picked up hp wise. Plus I have brand new Nitto NT05 Drag Radials on the rear that haven't seen the track and don't even have 200 miles on them. This car is heavier being a convertible and my 60" times sucked. I was spinning and the best 60" was like 1.78 and I was trapping between 119-121 mph. This car with current set up should run real low 11's with slicks I have no doubt that this can be and is a 10 second car. I also put the SW6 hood on it which shaved 40 lbs off the front end. I put a lot of time thought and money into this car and wanted to try to make it bullet proof as well. With that said I rarely drive this bullet proof car and I definitely did not abuse it the way it was meant to be abused in the almost 7 years I have owned the car I have been to the track twice and made less than 12 passes on it. Now the numbers. This car was tuned by both Sean Collins and James Short. James Short tunes on a small dyno dynamics dyno and even he says that the dyno reads really low. There are several people in my town that go to Short tuning and are disapointed with their numbers. To me dyno numbers do not always tell the story so I never worried too much about them. Either way there are Corvettes that have gotten like 425-440 rwhp on his dyno and they will dip into the high 10's in the quarter. My car put down 444 rwhp and 419 ft lb tq on that dyno. Collins has a mustang dynometer on his dyno my car puts down 486 rwhp and 462 ft lb tq. I was at a car show with a mobile dynojet and put the car on it just to do it and the car made 501 rwhp and 479 ft lb tq. There was a big discrepancy between the three dynos. To me every dyno is different and I am more curious about mph and numbers at the track. So take it for what its worth. This is a very clean, sick and nasty car. The car is indigo night paint code Y4 it is a new Hyundai color. The car is a dark blue with purple hues. When the sun shines or at certain times the car looks purple it is a cool color. The car was painted a little over a year ago. The interior is clean. There are no tears in the leather and there are not cracks in the dash or door panels. |

That time we lapped Indy with Tony Kanaan in a Corvette Z06
Sat, May 23 2015We're here in Indianapolis, IN, attending this weekend's 99th running of the Indy 500. The big event happens tomorrow, but the city is buzzing today with all sorts of pre-race festivities. For us, that means checking out Indianapolis Motor Speedway a day early, and getting a hot lap around the racetrack in the official Indy 500 pace car – a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Our driver for the occasion is IndyCar racer Tony Kanaan, who won the Indianapolis 500 in 2013. Of course, he'll be competing tomorrow, leaving pace duties to none other than Jeff Gordon. Check out our minute-and-a-half-long lap of the Indy 500 track in the video above, where Kanaan hugs the wall in true race style, getting the Z06 past 150 miles per hour on the back straight. Stay tuned for more Indy 500 coverage later this weekend.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
