Chevrolet Camaro Zl1 on 2040-cars
Sandy, Texas, United States
Drop the top, let the wind flow through your hair, & spank a Hellcat with its skinny little rear tires & only 707 HP. Roast a Ferrari. Laugh at a Porsche. Smoke a Ford Shelby GT500. Beat the new Corvette Z06. Kill the new Camaro Z-28. Outrun a Corvette ZR-1. Outperform most Lamborghinis. All this for a fraction of what everything else costs. (Just don’t race a Tesla P85D). Don’t blow $10K on a new clutch for a Ferrari, or a Lamborghini. Instead, think of all the fun you can have burning through $10K worth of drag radials on this thing. There is no need to drink coffee when you own this beast – just mash the gas for a few seconds & your blood is flowing, you’re wide awake, & you’re instantly in a good mood. This build was planned out with Lingenfelter (LPE) & Fastlane of Houston (which has over 15 years’ experience building race cars) to be even more reliable than a stock ZL1, but have the performance of a much more aggressive car. This is the ZL1 that GM should have built for the masses to outperform, & outsell the widely popular Hellcat. A very modest 750 HP & 750 TQ on 91 octane, 93 octane, or E85 - that is reliable enough to easily drive across the country & back without any issues. A very conservative 640HP at the rear wheels. The dyno pull was stopped well before the max potential of the motor. 800+ HP is likely a more accurate description of this motor's power, but it safely pulls 750 HP without coming close to red-lining it. Comes with a few 32 oz. cans of Torco Race Fuel Concentrate for those times when you want a little extra kick. She gets very happy with 1 can per tank. Well over $100,000 to duplicate. Think of all the money you will save, & even more importantly, think of all the time you will save by not having to do all the research, dropping off the car here for this modification, & dropping off the car there for that modification. The work is already done. This torque monster is ready to roll. Sounds like a race boat. It has scared people when it starts. Has a very impressive idle. Even at idle, it sounds like it will beat most high performance cars. People ask me all the time if they can take pictures of it. If you don’t want attention, then this bad boy is not for you. Adult owned. Never abused, & never taken to a track. This beast will easily surpass 205 mph. The 5 performance driving modes from the ZL1 coupe are installed on this convertible (the convertible ZL1 normally only comes with 3 modes). It will break the tires loose if you punch it at 60 mph in Competitive Driving Mode – just make sure you are pointed in a straight line. Spin the tires at will. This car is addicting. It has the same Magnetic Ride Control suspension that is on the new Cadillacs & the new Corvettes. It literally “Rides like a Cadillac”. It drives like a stock ZL1….until you open it up. Triple Black. Lots of Lingenfelter (LPE) goodies. Lingenfelter solid isolator installed to replace the problematic OEM spring loaded isolator these car’s superchargers are known for having. ARP head stud kit. LPE 160 degree thermostat. Vmax CNC ported 90mm Throttle Body.D3ep heat exchanger 3X bypass inter-cooler.D3ep high capacity water reservoir with an extra 1 ˝ gallons of coolant. Stock radiator replaced with the largest aluminum radiator that will fit. RotoFab Cold Air Intake with brand new filter. LPE 10% Overdrive Balancer Pulley.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
