Question Zo6 power : )


Monday, February 02, 2009 | Categories | Chevrolet, Chevrolet Matiz, Chevrolet Videos, Corvette, Racing, Video




A team of motorsport enthusiasts led by Fourdin Auto Sport founder,
Yves Fourdin, have built one of the most extreme versions of the Chevrolet Matiz mini to date.
The homologated racing car has been fitted a stock 7.0-liter V8 engine
from the Corvette Z06
that delivers an output of 505HP. We don't have all the details but the Corvette-powered Matiz
is said to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62mph) in just 3.7 seconds and to 200 km/h (124 mph)
in 10.94 seconds while the car's top speed is 260 km/h (162 mph). Click through
to see a video of the Matiz V8 in action at Monza.

First Recorded 2010 Chevy Camaro Crash?



Thursday, April 02, 2009 | 4 comments » Categories | Accidents, Chevrolet, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Videos, Video



With mainstream sportscars like the new 2010 Chevy Camaro, the



first recorded mishap is usually the one that draws the most

attention upon it. This relatively 'light' crash happened on March


20th, 2009 on Dundee Road in North Oakville, Ontario and from what


we know, no one was injured. Hit the jump to see the shots through


the Youtube video.

Commodore - Pontiac G8, is sold in the Middle East under the


Chevrolet brand. For 2009, GM has upgraded the Chevrolet Caprice

engine on that delivers 360HP at 5,700 rpm and peak torque of

530Nm at 4400 rpm. The Caprice is also offered with a 3.6-litre V6

engine generating peak power of 240HP at 6,000 rpm and maximum

torque of 330 Nm at 2600 rpm.

The 2009 Caprice V8 SS model receives a number of additions,

chrome-plated plastic interior door handles have been added to the

LTZ, SS and Royale, while all models are now available with a new

Switchblade Silver paint.

Bluetooth connection for mobile phones is featured on all models

from the LTZ upwards.

Video: 2009 Corvette Competition Sport Lapping the Sebring Racetrack

Wednesday, March 25, 2009 | 0 comments » Categories | Chevrolet, Chevrolet Videos, Corvette, Racing, Video



GM took advantage of last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring endurance

race in Florida to show off its 2009 Corvette Competition Sport

models. Among those that attended the event was Keith Cornett of

Corvette Blogger that had the opportunity to enjoy a fast lap of the

Sebring racetrack in the special edition Vette from the passenger's

seat. The Competition Sport package includes several upgrades

including the Z51 performance packgage, NPP perfomance exhaust

system, a differential cooler and the "necessary" racing stripes. Hit

Muscle Car V8 Sound Comparo: New Camaro SS vs Challenger R/T vs Mustang GT

Monday, March 23, 2009 | 11 comments » Categories | Carscoop Poll, Chevrolet, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Videos, Dodge, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Videos, Ford, Ford Mustang, Ford Videos, Video



Masculine looks aside, one of the main traits of any authentic pony

car is the sound of its V8 engine. With this in mind, Edmund's

Insideline created a short video with the audio tracks of the new

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T and 2010

Ford Mustang GT. For the record, it seems that the Mustang was

filmed on a different location than the other two cars, something

that could have affected the sound quality. Either way, judging by

this video, we'd give first place to the Stang because its V8 churns

out a more consistent and less chainsaw-like sound with our second

vote going to the Chevy. Check out the video after the jump cast your vote.

Just as the 2010 Camaro begins to arrive at U.S. showrooms, the

General released four new videos of its resurrected pony car that

include media reactions from the presentation and a chat with the

firm's Global Vehicle Line Executive, Gene Stephanyshyn, and

President of Global Design, Ed Wleburn. For the record, all films

were produced/edited by/for GM so don't be surprised that even

the video with the automotive journalists' reactions, is about how

stunningly good and flawless the new Camaro is...






If you happen to be into car-graphics and at the same time like

Vettes, then you will be pleased to know that Chevrolet has

introduced yet another a new special edition version of its sportscar

to celebrate the racing success of the Corvette C6.R in the American

Le Mans GT1 series. The GT Championship Edition is available in

either Coupe 4LT ($65,310), Convertible 4LT ($71,815), or Z06 3LZ

($86,385) forms with buyers being able to choose between two

base colors, yellow or black.

The package includes C6.R livery inspired graphics with Corvette

Racing 'Jake', Championships and driver flags, ZR1 style body color

full width spoiler and chrome wheels, a carbon-pattern engine

cover, custom leather wrapped ebony interior with yellow accent

stitching and GT1 embroidery on the seats, instrument panel, and

center console armrest.

In addition, the Coupe and Convertible 4LT variants also come

equipped with a Z51 Performance Package and a NPP performance

exhaust system. Production will be limited to 100 units per each

color and body style combination, so if you do the math (three

variants x two colors) that comes to a total of 600 cars.

Exclusive footage from Transformers 2 with all Chevy Autobots, Including Corvette and Volt

Thursday, February 12, 2009 | 5 comments » Categories | Chevrolet, Chevrolet Camaro, Chevrolet Spark, Chevrolet Videos, Chevrolet Volt, Corvette, GM, Transformers, Video



Since General Motors is investing heavily on the upcoming Transformers 2
movie, 'Revenge of the Fallen' with five Chevrolet-based characters

taking

roles as Autobots, it doesn't surprise us at all that the automaker

managed to secure exclusive footage of the film edited by director Michael

Bay. The video that follows contains scenes with all five Chevy-bots,

including SIDESWIPE (Corvette Stingray concept), SKIDS and MUDFLAP

(based on Chevy's Beat and Trax concepts), JOLT (Volt) and of course,

BUMBLEBEE (Camaro SS).

Video and Live Photos of Transformers 2 Film Corvette Stingray Concept

Wednesday, February 11, 2009 | 1 comments » Categories | Chevrolet, Chevrolet Concepts, Chevrolet Videos, Chicago Auto Show, Concepts, Corvette, Video



Earlier today at the grand opening of the Chicago Auto Show, General
Motors lifted the veil on its latest concept car, the Corvette Stingray

that

will play the role of 'SIDESWIPE' in the second iteration of the

Transformer saga, called "Revenge of the Fallen". Unfortunately for

Corvette fans, GM has no intention of building a production version of the

concept, which is a pity as with the exception of the 'Batmobile-ish' rear-

end, we found the Stingray's design quite sexy. Click through to see live

photos of the Vette from the show as well as a video of the concept with

GM Design Vice President, 'soft-talking' Ed-Welburn.
