Up for sale is one Caprice PPV Police Vehicle. Privately Owned, I purchased this vehicle NEW on July 25, 2012 from Coughlin Automotive Columbus, Ohio. FULL GM warranty 3YR/36,000 bumper to bumper 5YR/100,000 mile powertrain limited warranty. automatically transfers to new owner. Warranty start date 7/26/2012 & 78 miles. 100% stock drivetrain. This vehicle is not sold to the general public new. I am a police officer so I was able to purchase it new. It is a bare bones, kick a** hot rod sedan right out of the box. It was built and designed in europe, as such it has all the great performance aspects of a high dollar european sports sedan. This vehicle is unlike any american made sedan past or present. The new SS is the same car with a shorter wheelbase, as is the Camaro. The Pontiac G8 GT was the same car with a shorter wheelbase. What sets this vehicle apart is this; The Caprice is marketed as a police pursuit vehicle and sold as such. Not sold to the public new. It should be. It is an overall better performer on the track than a Pontiac G8 GT because the shift algorithm is set for the absolute best upshifts and downshifts (during aggressive driving) without regard to fuel mileage. It also will detect aggressive driving and downshift automatically to the best gear and hold that gear until redline for powering out of curves, etc. (called pursuit mode). It also has heavy duty suspension and unibody. Same brakes as the Camaro. With the L77 (LS2 block) with 355 HP and 385 torque this car will pull 0-60 around 6 seconds, but the torque along with the 6 speed transmission will absolutely blow your mind at highway speeds. Top speed of 155 MPH. It will stop in 129 feet from 60-0 the fastest stop time of any police vehicle. The L77 is basically a LS2 with L92 rectangular port heads (823 casting), Electronic throttle with 90mm body, High capacity fuel injectors (for E85) and a LS3 intake from the Corvette. This engine can easily be tuned to produce over 400 Horsepower on premium fuel or E85. This vehicle has cylinder deactivation for fuel economy. It DOES NOT have variable valve timing. The stock Goodyear Eagle RSA tires do hold the true handling of this car back, (as evident in test video's) as they are all season heavy duty tires designed for police use. I recommend summer only tires or Eagle GT tires when the stock tires need replaced. MSRP new $32,180 Feel free to message or email any questions. Full documentation along with many news articles and video's on this super car included. Here is a sample

The roominess in this vehicle is amazing. The trunk is also very big, much bigger than the Charger. The rear seat vinyl looks and feels like leather. The front seats are 1/2 vinyl (upper) and cloth (lower) and looks very nice. 6 way power seats with power lumbar and recliner
The Caprice is basically a stretched wheelbase Holden Commodore and sold as the Holden Statesman/Caprice in Australia and the Chevrolet Caprice in the Middle East. Built on the GM Zeta platform, it shares this platform with the Camaro and the new SS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Zeta_platform
Camaro and Pontiac G8 wheels can be mounted to this vehicle and there are many aftermarket wheels in 18 and 19 inch sizes that will make this vehicle more sporty looking (see pics)

The factory stereo/cd is still operational and feeds into the center dash speaker. It is not upgradeable to Bluetooth in the police vehicle in the USA so I installed the aftermarket unit.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
