Hello folks. Just to be perfectly honest and clear, I want to state up front that this car was born as a black over gray leather LT1 Caprice and although it resembles one, it is NOT an Impala SS. I bought this car from a Ford dealer in TN where it was traded in by its original owner. It has been in the south its whole life and is completely rust free. I wanted a sleeper, a fun, fast car that would fool people and ruin egos. I started by tearing down the top half of the engine and replaced the iron heads with stock aluminum LT1 heads off my '94 Z28. They were treated to a performance valve job and they've been bowl blended, pocket ported and gasket matched. I installed a Comp Cams 260XFI cam with 210/218 duration at .050" along with a full roller valvetrain using more parts from Comp and Crane. For those that don't know engine mods well, don't worry, this isn't a lopey race engine, its very streetable and was built to maximize torque for getting this heavy car moving. I used a thinner head gasket during the cylinder head install to bump the compression to 11:1, but it still runs fine on pump premium. The Opti-Spark distributor has been replaced along with an LT4 knock module and a Crane ignition box and coil. The exhaust is a 2.5" dual cat-back from Jegs, but with 50 series (the quiet ones) Flowmaster mufflers installed. The transmission has a custom torque converter matched to the cam and gearing. The stock drum brake rear end was replaced with a 3.08:1, 4-wheel disc rear end from a 9C1 police car. The diff was also replaced with a new Eaton Posi unit. I had my friend Reese Cox at MTI racing do a quickie tune on the car and it runs great. It does seem to pull a bit harder at 90% throttle than WOT so I know there's a lot left on the table with some more tuning. I've been meaning to take it back to MTI and get it on their dyno for a proper tune, but I haven't had a chance. It hasn't been down the track but seat-of-the-pants feels like it would run a mid 13. The car passes emissions here in GA with no problem at all. So there I was with my 13 second granny car covered in chrome and even sporting white wall tires when this (I'll bite my tongue here) woman sideswipes the RF door and fender. The damage was very minor, but I found a deal on a perfect door and fender from a black Impala SS so I used those parts so the car would have zero filler. Since the car was going to the body shop, I decided to change direction and make some tasteful modifications. I installed an Impala grill and spoiler, shaved the trunk lock cylinder and installed smooth urethane bumpers (not the cheap fiberglass ones). Magnum Collision in Marietta GA did the whole body respray and it came out beautiful. The wheels are 18" Centerline Lazers and the tires are Dunlop SP Sports 245/40r18 front and 275/35r18 rear and in good condition. The car has also been lowered with lowering springs in the rear and QA1 adjustable coil-overs in the front. The interior is in excellent condition with very good leather and only the driver's lower seat foam showing signs of wear. I think the carpet was replaced by the dealer I bought the car from because it doesn't fit quite as nice as I expect a factory carpet to. Overall, the interior is very nice, especially for a 19 year old car. The car is located in Kennesaw GA and I have a clean title in hand. I urge any serious buyers to inspect the car and test drive it themselves or arrange a pre-purchase inspection. This is very nice car with nothing to hide. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any more specific details or additional photos. Also available, but not included are an extensive collection of parts to take this car to the next level performance wise. The key items are a very high end 396 LT1 stroker with a Callies 4340 crank, Oliver billet rods and custom 2618 Ross forged pistons. No Chinese Eagle or Scat junk. I've also got an LT1 Camaro T-56 six speed manual transmission that I've rebuilt with a Dodge Viper main shaft along with many, but not all of the parts needed to install it. If interested, the sale of these items can be negotiated separately. |

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
2016 Chevy Camaro performance figures released
Mon, Sep 14 2015If you want to make a car faster, there are two sure-fire ways to get the job done – add power and/or reduce weight. Chevy has done both for the 2016 Camaro, putting as much as 455 horsepower into its muscle coupe and shaving a few hundred pounds from every trim. That range-topping power comes courtesy of a 6.2-liter V8 engine, and it's enough grunt to push an automatic-equipped Camaro SS to 60 miles per hour in just 4.0 seconds flat (4.3 seconds with a manual) and down the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds at 116 mph (12.5 at 115 for the stick). Not coincidentally, those acceleration specs, at least on paper, put the V8-powered Camaro SS just above the Mustang GT on the muscle-car pecking order. When the road gets twisty, Chevy claims the Camaro SS can generate as much as .97 g on the skidpad. And, thanks in part to its Goodyear Eagle F1 summer tires, the SS can stop from 60 in as little as 117 feet. We look forward to finding out how nimble the new Camaro feels when compared to its primary competitors. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Moving down one notch to the 335-hp 3.6-liter V6, properly equipped 2016 Camaro coupes can hit 60 in as few as 5.1 seconds and cover the quarter in 13.5 at 103. Perhaps even more intriguingly, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and its 275 horsepower (the only configuration quicker with a manual transmission, incidentally) can propel the Camaro to 60 in 5.4 seconds and through the 'ol 1320 in 14 seconds flat. That's seriously quick, but buyers comparing the Camaro to the Mustang will find that the EcoBoost 2.3-liter is a bit more powerful (310 hp and 320 lb-ft) and quicker (5.1 seconds to 60). Chevy is making lots of noise about the efforts its engineers went through to shed weight from the 2016 Camaro, going so far as to shave down suspension bolts so that no thread went unthreaded. The weight-saving obsession pays off – base Camaro models are down 390 pounds while the SS model drops 223 pounds over the 2015. The 2016 Camaro SS boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 8.1 lbs per pony, a 14-percent improvement over the last-gen. Even though weight is down, chassis stiffness is said to be up by 28 percent over the fifth-gen Camaro coupe. Also of note: The Camaro is now lighter than the Mustang across the board when comparing like-to-like configuration levels. The 2016 Chevy Camaro starts at $26,695 (including $995 for destination).
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.
