Up for sale is my 2013 Camaro ZL1 Coupe.  It has the 6 speed manual transmission, and currently has 4831 miles.  Outside, it's painted Victory Red, and has the available black interior, with contrasting red stiching and alcantara inserts on the seats and dash.  It has the optional 5 spoke aluminum wheels with polished accents.  It has the 100% real carbon fiber hood insert as well.  Rounding out the options on this car is a power moonroof and the interior sueded microfiber (Alcantara) flat-bottomed steering wheel and shift knob.

I'll assume if you are looking at this auction, you are aware of the features that make a ZL1 special and seperate it from the rest of the Camaro line-up.  It starts with the 6.2L Supercharged V8 engine, rated at 580HP from the factory.  This Camaro is fully track capable with the Magnetic Ride Control system as well as a Performance Traction Management (PTM) system.  PTM works by integrating Magnetic Ride Control, Launch Control, Traction Control and electronic Stability Control to work together optimally depending on the environment and task at hand.  The ZL1 also has a dual mode exhaust system, which opens flaps within the muffler to raise the exhaust volume by 50%.  It goes without saying that while this car looks awesome, all its unique bodywork has its own purpose to achieve the best aerodynamic characteristics.  Lastly, the ZL1 has all the creature comforts you can imagine - Bluetooth, heated seats, Heads-up Display, 9 Speaker Boston Acoustics stereo, Homelink, power seats/locks/windows and keyless entry just to name a few.

This car has quite a few performance and appearance modifications to make it unique, and really live up to its full potential.  I'll first go over the appearance items.  I installed Hotchkis lowering springs, to mainly bring the front end of the car down.  ZL1s are lower than other Camaro's from the factory, but I wasn't happy with the wheel gap.  These springs are very mild and lowered the front of the car 1/2" and the rear 1/8".  With the magnetic ride control, the car literally rides identical to factory, and isn't lowered enough to affect around town driving.  This car can make it over any speed bump without rubbing.  After lowering, I had the car realigned to make sure everything was back to factory spec.  I have tinted the side and rear windows 20%, and added a 50% film to the moonroof to help keep potential UV fading down.  I installed silver metallic vinly overlays on the front and rear Bowties to get rid of the gold OEM style.  I've added black/red vinyl to the ZL1 machined recess on the wheel spokes to add a bit of contrast and tie in with the rest of the car.  I've added LED Fog and DRL light bulbs, as well as a plug-n-play harness to keep the DRLs on when the fog lights are on.  I've also added the GM Accessory ZL1 logo floor mats.  Lastly, I have plasti-dipped the tail light bezels black.  Should you prefer the OEM chrome, I will remove the plastidip before you take delivery.

Now, onto the performance modifications!  The goal of this build was to keep the car as close to factory characteristics and driveability as possible.  Other than some blower whine, and being much quicker obviously, you'll fool everyone into thinking it's stock.  The exhaust is 100% stock, so it sounds just like it did when it was new.  I did add a Mild 2 Wild switch to keep the dual mode exhaust flaps open at your discretion.  If you want it quiet and drone-free, keep it closed...if you're cruising around town, you can open them up via the programmed Homelink button - again, completely stock looking!  I've installed a RotoFab Cold Air Intake, which feeds into a ported Throttle Body and Blower Snout.  I've installed a solid isolater to eliminate any future issues with the problematic OEM spring loaded isolater. A smaller 2.4" Metco Interchangable Pulley was installed, which utilizes the OEM pulley end cap to remain stock in appearance. New, larger ID850 fuel injectors were installed to help keep up with the extra air being pumped in via the upper pulley swap. I decided to install an OEM LS9 camshaft with PAC 1518 Valve Springs.  This camshaft comes in the Corvette ZR1 from the factory, and is a perfect OEM style upgrade to really take advantage of the pulley swap. Of course, since it comes in the ZR1 from the factory, drivability and street manners are just as stock.  To round out the additions to the engine, new NGK spark plugs were added, as well as a 160 thermostat and shorter length serpentine belt.  To help with any potential heat soaking issues, I've added a gallon capacity RotoFab intercooler tank.  While it nearly doubles the system capacity, it also gives you an easy way to add and monitor coolant for the intercooler system as it's seperate from the engine cooling system.  Lastly, the car was live dyno and street tuned by Jeremy Formato, owner of FasterProms in Tampa, Florida, who has one of the highest reputations in the LS tuning community for over a decade.  The car made 610rwhp and 616rwtq as evidenced in the attached Dyno Graph. At a pretty standard 15% drivetrain loss, figure right at 700HP at the flywheel!

Send me an email with your phone number if you would like to chat about the car - I'm proud how it turned out and will be more than happy to answer any of your more specific questions!

If you aren't within driving distance, have no fear! I've previously used a shipping company called High End Transport based in Florida with great success. Pricing has always been more than fair. I can provide you a phone number to get a more accurate quote!

GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification

Sun, Mar 1 2020

Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.
