For more details email me at: athenaammaisano@onlyfools.com . FOR SALE 2003 CHEVY CORVETTE Z06 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Electron blue with black leather, six speed manual, z06 performance package, 405 horsepower, 50th
anniversary, all power accessories, heads up display, 2 person memory package, active handling, body side
molding and electrochromatic drivers side and rear view mirrors. Always garage kept and covered. Never
abused. 2 owner car. Has all the original books in glove compartment. Title is clean as well as the
car.NOTE: The delaware license plate DOES NOT come with the car. The 4 digit tag DOES NOT come with your purchase.
The '03 Z06 is basically carryover from '02, but collectors will note the
50th-Anniversary exterior badges. Checking the Z06 option at one of this country's 3774 Corvette dealers
(Lamborghini has 14) gets you the same-size 5.7-liter Chevy small-block V-8 as in a base Corvette. But more
compression, a higher-lift cam, lighter valves, stronger valve springs, a higher-intake manifold, lower-restriction
air cleaner, and higher-capacity titanium exhaust system allow this LS6 version of the 5.7-liter to produce an
additional 55 horses and 25 lb-ft of torque over the base model's 350-horsepower LS1. All this while returning 28
mpg on the way to and from the proving grounds--simply amazing. Equally so is the raspy exhaust note that rips out
of the Z06's titanium exhaust system--American V-8 all the way, but sharper, edgierThe Z06's performance-oriented
Z51 suspension provides Krazy-Glue-like grip in the corners, yet offers a more than tolerable ride on most types of
road surfaces, thanks to sufficient wheel travel and well-tuned damping rates. The Active Handling helps keep even
the most inexperienced driver going in his intended direction, but push the deactivation button, downshift to
second, and the 400 lb-ft of torque will allow this long-nose patriot to slip its tail out like Grandma on an icy
sidewalk. Proper steering input corrects the oversteer, and off you go, with a big grin on your face.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles
Tue, 06 Aug 2013General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
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.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
