Valparaiso, Indiana, United States
|
Rare Caravaggio widebody, convertible, Z06 Corvette. This three-owner car has just over 10k miles from new. The body and interior is a drivable form of art work created and built by custom coachbuilder John Caravaggio of Caravaggio Corvettes. It is one of only 39 Caravaggio widebody Corvettes, only 10 of which were convertibles, of which only 3 were Z06 convertible’s. This car was featured in Vette magazine, December 2012 issue, and commands attention wherever it goes. Its stunning and curvaceous body is painted in Ferrari Rosso Corsa red paint, while the interior is wrapped in sumptuous Ferrari tan leather. The supercharged LS6 engine, which was recently tuned by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, has an output of 456 rwhp and 411 rw torque. The exhaust exits through a custom exhaust system, designed and installed by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. The car rides on HRE 3-piece modular wheels wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero tires, 275/30ZR19 on the front and 345/25ZR20 on the rear. The Kenwood CD receiver features front USB and iPod ports and is Bluetooth capable. This is a rare opportunity to own a limited edition coachbuilt car which is sure to accelerate in value as time goes on (remember Baldwin-Motion, Yenko, and Nickey). ***Please ask questions, if you have any. *** ***** I have this car listed locally for sale and reserve the right to end this listing early.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
