1999 Doug Rippie Motorsports Built Street Legal Drag Car
I began recreational drag racing in 2002 in a 1969 Camaro. Each year I tried to go a little faster and had a lot of success doing so. In 2007 I decided to have Doug Rippie Motorsports build a special Corvette for me and I bought this 1999 Corvette that was really clean with 40,000 miles on it. ( If you don't know about Doug Rippie Motorsports, google them and check them out!) I worked with Doug to come up with a really hot Vette that was also street legal and could be driven anywhere (dry pavement helps though). The original build sheet is in the pictures. I lived 20 miles from the track so I drove the car, with drag slicks and a car jack in the back, to the track, changed the tires myself manually and kicked a lot of ass, changed the tires back after racing and drove home. The car ran low 7's in the 1/8th mile and was very consistent. However, the guys running in the 6's were really annoying so I called Doug and said I wanted to go faster, still be street legal and be able to use pump gas and drive this car around. So in my second year with this car we supercharged it, build sheet in the pictures also. Wow. The Vette is at about 950 hp at the crank and somewhere around 750 at the rear wheels. The car ran very consistently in the mid 6's with the best time being 6.420, 60' at 1.473, 108.6 mph in the 1/8th mile and can lift the front tires off the ground on launch,(see the pictures). What a ride!
Obviously traction became an issue. I experimented with tires and finally added a traction control system that shuts down cylinders based on slippage. That made the car much easier to handle but times were 1 to 2 tenths of a second slower than if I kept it straight without the traction control. The car was mini tubbed to allow for BFG's largest G-Force drag slicks. I also added special shocks on the front of the car that allows the nose to lift easier. So the traction control is still on the car and works very well and you can choose to use it or not.
In 2009 the LS7 block cracked, for a reason too hard to explain here but I'll be glad to explain in person or on the phone. Anyway, I took it back to DRM and it was rebuilt with the LSX block, a cast iron version of the LS7 block. It can still lift the front tires off the ground even with the additional 140 pounds on the nose and the 6.420 is a time was achieved in this configuration.
During the winter of 2010-2011 I decided to rebuild the drive train. I moved up to the FLP (Finish Line Products) level 7 transmission, the best they build and rebuilt everything that showed any wear. I didn't get the car back and on the track until the middle of the season and had some personal reasons that limited my racing. I did not race this car at all in 2012. All that being said, the car has only 5 - 10 runs on it since the drive train was rebuilt. This car is in excellent mechanical condition and is ready for a couple of years of racing without anything being done to it. It comes with two sets of drag slicks (MT and Hoosiers,) a rear set of BFG Drag Force radials, one set of street tires and the original rims. It also comes with both the solid color top and the smoked glass top, a car cover and an additional torque tube. The torque tube on the car is a beefed up version.
You can also see that the interior is all original and everything works, CD, cruise, tilt, electric seats radio whatever.
The reason I am selling it in such great condition is, like I said I didn't race in 2012, I do take it out to keep it lubricated every couple of months. I am 62 years of age, had a great time racing but I have 3 other fun cars and am now more into cross country trips in comfortable performance cars than drag racing. The car can be seen in Omaha, Ne. where it is currently stored.
I have lots of documentation on the car as well as Dyno records. If you wish to inquire more about the car, feel free to call me at 712-370-0123.

2016 Chevy Camaro teased as current-gen car prepares to hit 500k sales
Fri, Mar 13 2015Just as Chevrolet prepares to launch the sixth-generation Camaro, the current, fifth-generation car is about to hit a major milestone: 500,000 units sold in the United States. That's impressive, and to celebrate, Chevy has released this video, showing the Camaro Z/28 doing what it does best around a race track. But that's not all there is to see in this video. At the end, Chevy gives us a glimpse at the sixth-generation Camaro, expected to debut in the not-too-distant future. Have a look, and check out Chevy's press blast, below, for more details about the 500k sales mark. Related Video: Fifth-gen Camaro Approaches 500,000 U.S. Sales Production milestone caps five years as America's best-selling performance car DETROIT – Talk about a big family: Chevrolet expects to deliver the 500,000th fifth-generation Camaro in the United States this month. The fifth-generation Camaro has been a runaway success for Chevrolet since it went on sale in August 2009. Camaro sales passed Mustang in 2010, to become America's best-selling performance car – a title Camaro has retained for five consecutive years. In the process, the Camaro has helped bring new buyers to Chevrolet – with 63 percent of retail buyers new to GM. "The fifth-generation Camaro has clearly resonated with both long-time Camaro fans, and first time performance-car buyers," said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager. "That sets the bar high for the next chapter of the car's history." Remarkably, the Camaro continues to gain momentum, even as the fifth-generation Camaro nears the end of production this year. In 2014, Camaro total sales increased 7.1 percent for its second-best year of sales since its introduction.
Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept foreshadows an affordable, 200-mile EV future [w/videos]
Mon, Jan 12 2015Confirming numerous reports and rumors, Chevrolet introduced the Bolt EV Concept, "a vision" of a 200-mile EV with an entry price of around $30,000. Those lofty promises ride atop a funky crossover that made its global debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show. The orange five door features a spacious greenhouse, complemented by a glass roof and thin D-pillar. A narrow grille and slim LED headlights crown a high fascia that leaves little ahead of its front axle. It's a similar story in back, as General Motors' design boss Ed Welburn sought to limit overhangs and maintain the Bolt's small footprint. "Form and function have never meshed so well together," Welburn said. "No compromises were made when it came to aesthetics and the elements that contribute to the Bolt EV concept's range, resulting in a unique proportion that's sleek, efficient and obviously a Chevrolet." The cabin is not unlike current Chevrolet compacts, with the MyLink touchscreen and a detached instrument cluster dominating the sparse dash. Unlike cars like the Sonic, which features a similar design for its instrument cluster, A Volt-like display is found over the steering column. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," CEO Mary Barra said. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Take a look at both the official gallery of Bolt images, as well as our live shots. And then scroll on down for more comments from GM brass, in the official press release. Chevrolet Bolt EV Concept Signals Brand's EV Strategy Affordable, long-range concept builds on brand's electrification leadership 2015-01-12 DETROIT – Chevrolet today made a significant statement on its commitment to electrification with the introduction of the Bolt EV concept – a vision for an affordable, long-range all-electric vehicle designed to offer more than 200 miles of range starting around $30,000. "The Bolt EV concept is a game-changing electric vehicle designed for attainability, not exclusivity," said General Motors CEO Mary Barra. "Chevrolet believes electrification is a pillar of future transportation and needs to be affordable for a wider segment of customers." Leveraging the electrification prowess established by Volt and Spark EV, the Bolt EV concept is designed to offer long-range performance in all 50 states and many global markets.
