CLEAN TITLE! I have owned this car since May of 2011 and have driven it almost daily from April-October, and kept it stored the rest of the year. The car starts right up everytime, runs great, drives and handles great, and is a real head-turner. There are some issues that make it not perfect that I will go into detail about, but this cars has been extremely fun and reliable for the entire time I have owned it. You can't drive this car without getting compliments.
Things you should know:
The car needs new brakes in the rear, and they squeak while driving it at this point. That said the car still handles and stops just fine.
The weather stripping shows its age. I have purchased 2 kits to replace most of it that I am including. The car will not leak in rain, but if you take it through a car wash there are some spots that drip.
The hood pull broke last year. I attached 2 Stainless Steel lanyards under the hood to manually open it. It can be fixed by running a new wire, or splicing and re-attaching whats left of the original.
The AC/Climate control all worked fine until last year. Last year the display went blank while it was deforsting, and the car was left with the defroster running. I pulled the wiring from the blower to stop it from running. A new display would likely fix the problem, but you be the judge.
I have smoked in the car, but to me it does not smell "Smokey".
There are some scratches low on the front passenger side fender that are hardly noticeable, and a scuff of rubbery substance on the rear driver side fender that should scrape or buff off, again you can hardly notice either or these blemishes because of where they are positioned. There are a couple chips on the passenger side door that do not take away from the look of the car.
The driver seat has tearing and is in rough condition (the car has been driven!) The carpet on the driver side is worn, and worn through in spots.
The carpet in the hatchback section is in good shape and complete, but has come unattached at the back of the car, another easy fix I just don't have time for right now.
There are some cracks and loose screws in the plastic trim in the rear interior of the car.
Honestly a few of these things would probably not even be mentioned by many sellers, but I don't want to miss out on any detail. I have tried to take pictures that illustrate everything I have just mentioned.
The electronic fuel gauge seems to work fine at times, and be off at times, be aware of your gas millage.
It is probably due for a general tune up.
The Positives:
Clean Title.
A car that starts right up, has been driven daily without incident, and runs and drives great!
Very fast (300HP/330lbs Torque) and handles like a champ!
New battery last year, New alternator this year, K+N air filter last year!
The tires have less than 10K miles on them, look new, and hold air through the winter.
EVERYTHING IN THIS CAR IS ORIGINAL AS FAR AS I KNOW, (aside from the alternator + battery).
The car was repainted RUBY RED just before I bought it, and is very shiny and sharp.
This car turns heads.
The interior aside from the driver side seat and floor is pretty nice. Clean dash with no cracks, overall good condition with the carpeting.
I mentioned a lot of things to be picky above, but in reality they are all things that have never stopped me from enjoying this car.
Includes the original owners manual, and a copy of the original window sticker if you want it.
I believe I am the 3rd owner.
This car is hard for me to let go, and the pictures tell the story.

Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
