1992 Chevy S-10 Minitruck Air Ride on 2040-cars
|
I built this lowrider mini truck to be clean and functional. The bed is completely built from scratch, and no corners where cut during construction. The inside is formed, welded and finished from 16 individual pieces of 18 gauge steel nicely contoured over the 3 link. The Fresh paint job is enhanced with a smoothie front bumper, clear signals and markers, and a fresh bumper apron. This Truck is highly influenced by the custom era flowing throughout its construction.
Body mods include a full custom smooth bed hand built from scratch with new bed sides. The gas door has been shaved and relocated inside the bed with a pop-up gas fill. The inside of the bed is bare-metal to show off the craftsmanship. the tailgate has been re-skinned with the handle relocated to the inside, and a crooked plate-box with working light has been frenched in. A roll pan has been welded on with 59 Cadillac taillights frenched deep within. Stock taillights have been shaved. The door handles and locks have been shaved along with the antenna. The Omaha Orange paint job was done by a professional auto body shop, and has received awards for best in class and best paint. The body work is really strait as you can see in the pictures. This truck also sports a new front bumper, deflector, clear signals and markers. The interior has been updated with subtle enhancements. The bench seat has been recovered in black. The stock headrests shortened and the sun visors have been narrowed. The headliner has been redone with a pleated insert to match the seat. Door panels have also been freshened up with new material to match the seats. Audio system is stock, except for the Ipod ready Pioneer DEH-P49001B cd player. Controlled by a 9-rocker switch-box, This minitruck lays frame with a Thorbeck Bros 3 link, 8 gallon air tank, and an engine-driven compressor. The frame has been c-notched and the rear half of the frame has been boxed. It has Slam Specialties air bags all the way around,with 3/8 line in the back and 1/2 inch up front. It is a very reliable setup controlled by 8 SMC solenoids. Wheels are 14" western wheel aluminum mags which have been powder coated black. Tires are Hankook p215/70R14, and have good tread. This truck has received Awards for best in class, and outstanding paint at the 2013 Milwaukee World of Wheels car show. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray order guide hits the web
Mon, 15 Apr 2013The official debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is only part of the excitement for fans of Chevy's virtuoso sportscar. Although we got to see the car and some of its preliminary specs in Detroit and Geneva, there is still no word on pricing and some of the juicier data points we've been waiting for - such as confirmed power output, EPA estimated mileage figures and performance numbers. Until then, CorvetteBlogger has gotten its hands on the order guide for the coupe version of the car - in both base and Z51 iterations - revealing tidbits like standard and optional features and available color combinations.
Some other new details made it onto the order guide, such as our first interior specs for the coupe including slightly less hip room and headroom, more shoulder room and the same amount of legroom. To see the full order guide, head on over to CorvetteBlogger. From what we can gather, it sounds like more information will be revealed on April 25 during a party at the Corvette Museum, and for those sun worshipers patiently waiting for a convertible, it would appear you've got another model year to wait through.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
