Update to the GRC....

Since we sold the Sonic our High Performance team had built for the GRC this coming weekend - we had to build another one fast!  Here it is!

If you are looking for a high performance vehicle - raised or lowered truck - you need to stop by and talk with our High Peformance team or email your wish list.  Our High Performance Department rocks!

The Z/28 is Back!

My first car was a 1967 Z/28 that I dearly loved. Wish I still had it.

Are you as excited as I am about the 2014 Z/28?  It's a gorgeous car called "the most track-capable Camaro ever" right off the assembly line.  The outside is beautiful and the seats are sexy.  The exterior has been revised for high performance aerodynamics ... more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds! And, like the original, it will only come with a manual transmission!

According to Mark Reuss, president, GM North America:  "As the ultimate track-capable Camaro, this car restores the mission of the original Z/28 and serves as a testament to the expertise of Chevrolet as the best-selling brand of performance cars" and "This car could only come from Chevrolet and could only be called the Z/28." 

The hand assembled 7.0L LS7 engine (think Z06) delivers at least 500 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The chief engineer says "The broad torque curve and high redline of the LS7 mean fewer shifts are required and the lightweight design improves the front to rear weight balance for better handling."  We should be getting the Z28 late this year so if you are wanting a track ready Camaro or just want to relive the Camaro of your youth...please let  me know!

How do you remember your first car?

What do you remember about your first car?  Mine was a Camaro (of course) - I used to take it to the drags on Wednesday nights.  Those were the days! It's been a while but it is still my favorite car. Wish I still had it.  Did you love your first car?  Tell me about it!

We have a specialty Camaro in our showroom right now...it's a gorgeous Neiman Marcus version Camaro Convertible.  The picture doesn't do it justice so stop by and take a look at it!

Team Chevy at the Daytona 500

The Chevy SS made its debut Sunday at the Daytona 500.  And, what a debut it was.  Jimmy Johnson drove the #48 car to victory and said he loved the car.  “Congratulations to Jimmie Johnson, (crew chief) Chad Knaus and (team owner) Rick Hendrick on their victory in The Great American Race,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. “And for the Chevrolet SS to win its first points race is incredible. This is a culmination of a tremendous effort by our engineers, owners, drivers, crew chiefs and teams who worked together to develop the Chevrolet SS race car. So much hard work went into preparing the Chevrolet SS for competition in the Sprint Cup series. We waited a long time for this race, and the performance of the No. 48 team made that wait worthwhile.”

Johnson wasn’t the only driver on Team Chevy to place.  Dale Earnhardt, Jr. came in 2^nd, Ryan Newman came in 5^th, Regan Smith was 7^th and Danica Patrick who had pole position came in a respectable 8^th.   Team Chevy racked up their 22^nd Daytona 500 win – more than any other manufacturer showing that Chevy has earned all the accolades.

Adding this Chevy SS to the Chevrolet stable is going to get everyone’s juices going.  0-60 in 5 seconds for an upscale luxury sedan is amazing and the 6.2L V8 is what gets it there. Of course the racing SS has some modifications that you probably won’t find in your garage,  but it will have the same rear wheel drive small block V8 configuration.  This car is a beauty and has so much innovative technology that it’s going to blow you away…Side Blind Zone Alert, Rear Vision Camera with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert (an incredibly safe car to drive) and my favorite – color Heads Up Display.   This summer is going to be hot in more ways than one – the SS, the Corvette and the Impala.  I can’t hardly wait!
