Corvette Related Stuff As of April 26th 2008 I have a new automotive obsession, my 2000 Chevrolet Corvette. It is worth noting that this is my first non Mopar vehicle... EVER. Let me generally state that the C5 Corvette lives up to all of the hoopla surrounding it and then some. I can honestly say that this is one of the most amazing vehicles I have ever driven or ridden in. That list of cars in

When it was introduced at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit in January, the 2009 Corvette ZR1's power was estimated at 100 horsepower for each of its 6.2 litres of displacement.GM Powertrain has completed SAE certification of the ZR1's supercharged LS9 V-8 and the results exceed the estimate -- 638 horsepower and 604 foot-pounds of torque.The LS9's output is nearly 103 h.p

Além disso, o modelo chega a velocidade máxima de 330 km/h (205 mph). Os números realmente impressionam e foram comprovados recentemente através da certificação da SAE (Sociedade de Engenharia Automotiva), dos Estados Unidos.Quando o Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2009 foi apresentado no NAIAS 2008 (Salão do Automóvel Internacional Americano) em Detroit, no começo deste ano, a potência específica do Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2009 foi ‘estimada’ em 100 hp/litro).

Official horsepower and torque figures prove even higher than the estimates. We bow low to GM’s powertrain gods. As if there weren’t enough superlatives surrounding the 2009 Chevy Corvette ZR1, we learn General Motors undersold the grunt of its most expensive and most powerful production Corvette ever. We were already enthralled as we dreamed of an estimated 620 hp at 6500 rpm and 600 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm from its supercharged LS9 6.2-liter V-8. Not so fast, says GM to anyone wed to those impressive figures—it’s actually more powerful! Having completed SAE certification for the first factory-built Vette with forced induction, the true numbers are a dizzying 638 hp and 604 lb-ft of torque. Do the math and that’s nearly 103 horses per liter, or just about 1.7 hp for each of

How to Buy a Used CorvetteBy Michael ModicaBuying a used Chevy Corvette can be a complicated venture, as there are many criteria to be met, and the price can be prohibitive. After seeing the price of some of the Corvettes in good working order, the temptation to purchase a non-running Corvette or one that obviously needs extensive work can be high. But, cars with these problems may not save you any money if you fix them up yourself. After the price of the parts and other expenses are added up, it would likely to have been cheaper to buy the car that was in good condition in the first place.The decision to buy a good used Corvette means that a potential purchase should be checked for serious flaws, such as rust. Rust affects the underside of many used corvettes, and is only visible by going

The enabler of the LS9’s performance and refinement is a large, positive-displacement Roots-type supercharger with a new, four-lobe rotor design. It is augmented with an integrated charge cooling system that reduces inlet air temperature for maximum performance. A sixth-generation supercharger developed by Eaton helps the LS9 make big power and torque at lower rpm and carries it in a wide arc to 6,600 rpm, as it pushes enough air to help the engine maintain po

An Introduction to CorvetteBy William BergThe glorious Corvette history started in 1953, when Chevrolet first came out with the Corvettes. It has endured the tests and ravages of time, and is now considered to be at par with some of the greatest cars in the world. The first all American sports car built by an American company, today Corvettes are manufactured almost exclusively by General Motors in their plant in Kentucky.The early Corvette produced in 1953, was a reflection of the styling flair of Harley Earl, who convinced GM that two-seater sports cars were the ultimate American dream. The name Corvette comes from a small maneuverable fighting frigate. The early Corvettes were almost hand built using fiberglass instead of steel for the lightweight effect. At that time, Chevrolet was kno

History will be made at the 2008 Indianapolis 500 when a pair of distinctive yet highly differentiated Corvette models will serve as the official pace cars; one highlighting Chevrolet's commitment to fuel solutions and the other marking 30 years of the Corvette Pace car at Indy. From Automotive TV.

Chevrolet's new LS9 V-8 is the latest in a line of engines that first saw the light of day way back in 1955. In the planning for this engine, the GM Powertrain team led by Sam Winegarden and Ron Meegan had a number of goals. Not only did they want the most powerful production Corvette engine ever, it had to compete with the best engines in the world for both power and refinement. After all, the ZR1 is intended to be docile and easy to drive at low speeds while still having the capacity to exceed 200 mph.When the LS7 V-8 in the current Z06 Corvette debuted a couple of years ago, it was deemed to be the pinnacle of what could be achieved from a normally aspirated small block. The displacement had been boosted to 7.0L with an output of 505 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Although more power is certainly possible, it would have come at the expense of long-term durability, and since GM won't release an engine for production unless the design is validated for at least 100,000 miles, the LS7 ap

General Motors announced recently that it would reveal a new $100,000 super car with the occasion of the North American International Auto Show from January. Built on Chevrolet's traditional muscle-car heritage, General Motors' Corvette ZR1 will come with a super-charge 600-horsepower engine and will be one of the most powerful and most expansive cars that the popular company has ever sold.So, after General Motors got itself involved in developing hybrids and promoting green-tech initiatives, the auto maker seems to have returned to the roots with Corvette ZR1. Although it features highly sophisticated modern technology, this new model represents the traditional super-car, as we all imagined it: a slim, though very powerful Batman car.Corvette ZR1 is expected to be the highlight of next month's show from Detroit, where other auto makers are also planning to expose several high-horsepower vehicles, such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis.However, although General Motors' Corvette ZR1

Who will the star of 2008 Detroit Auto Show ? I admit that is the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. You can feel the heart beat faster if you see this supercar. As you can bethink of, the ZR1 is the most powerful and most expensive Corvette model ever.After years of speculation, rumors and spy photos, the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 finally uncover to the world by General Motors, and all the enthusiast of Corvette model can see more detail at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show in January 2008.Why the 2009 ZR1 is so powerful? That is the new, supercharged LS9 V-8, the Heart of the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.The all-new LS9 V8 engine produce 620 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 595 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm.The 2009 Corvette ZR1's basic stats:* All-new LS9 supercharged 6.2L V-8 targeted at producing at least 100 horsepower per liter, or 620 horsepower (462 kW), and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque (823 Nm)* Six-speed, close-ratio, race-hardened manual transmission* New, high-capacity dual-disc

The speculation, rumors and half-truths can now be set aside -- this is the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, officially revealed for all the world to see. Powered by a supercharged LS9 6.2L small-block engine, the ZR1 hasn't even received an official horsepower number from the engineers toiling away at the General. All Harlan Charles, project manager for the Corvette team was able to tell us last week was the new high-powered 'Vette engine is "capable of producing at least 100 horsepower per liter. That's at least 620 horsepower, and approximately 595 lb.-ft. of torque." Chevrolet wasn't even able to give us a time on the 0-60. Charles was only willing to say "it's in the low three seconds." The small-block engine under the hood is only able to hit those massive numbers due to the addition of the positive-displacement Roots-type supercharger with a new, four-lobe rotor design plus an integrated charge cooling system that reduces inlet air temperature for increased performance. That's

Asked the question, “Why do a ZR1?” Corvette Vehicle Line executive Tom Wallace shoots back, “Because we can. We have the technology inside General Motors to do a car that can go up against any supercar from around the world,” he continues, punctuating the thought with this threat: “I can’t wait to take on any Porsche with this car, and we’re going to be right in there with the Ferrari [599s] and Lamborghini [Murcielagos].” Whoa, ease off the Red Bull, Tom. This is a just a souped-up C6 Corvette, right? Or did you slip a mid-engine V-12 in without the blogosphere noticing? An hour with chief engineer Tadge Juechter reveals that this is indeed a Z06 upgraded with the best tech in GM’s arsenal.

"Tonight Show" host Jay Leno's predilection for performance cars is no secret, but many fellow enthusiasts may not know that he is keenly interested in alternative fuels. To prove that red-blooded power mixes easily with a touch of green, Leno partnered with Pratt & Miller, the engineering company that builds and campaigns C6.R Corvettes to develop a modified Corvette Z06 that is capable of

Following the SEMA unveiling last week of the Pratt & Miller built E85 powered 600hp Corvette C6RS which was commissioned by American talk show host and die hard car enthusiast Jay Leno, Pratt & Miller soon afterwards announced they will produce a limited edition Corvette C6RS. Available in April 2008 the C6RS is based on Pratt & Miller’s Le Mans-winning Corvette C6.R race cars including a Katech built 8.2-liter (500ci) all-aluminum small-block V-8 engine producing 600 hp and 600 ft.-lbs of torque, full carbon fiber body shell and outer panels, computer-controlled adjustable suspension, Brembo mono block brakes, center-nut forged aluminum BBS wheels with Michelin tires and two-tone leather interior. Pratt & Miller make no mention whether the limited edition C6RS will be E85 biofuel powered like Jay Leno’s SEMA car, but surely, if the price is right, it can be done.
