Suburban Z-71 One Owner Excellent Condition on 2040-cars
Asheville, North Carolina, United States
Original owner - extremely clean Z-71 Suburban. I bought the truck at my local Chevy dealer in summer 2003, and it has been bullet-proof reliable. At 300 miles I changed oil to Mobil-1 full synthetic 5-30. Oil has been changed since new using Mobil-1 Syn every 6,000 miles (22 oil changes and counting). Other other routine maintenance performed at local Chevy dealer. Have all service records and receipts since new. Truck has needed very little since new, other than periodic brake service/replacement, tire replacement, and regular service/oil changes. Oil was just changed 200 miles ago.
In May 2012 I had a $3,000 Alpine CD / DVD system installed. Includes large format LCD screen, all new speakers, new amp, I-pod usb connector, and Bluetooth. Sounds excellent! New Cooper Zeon LTZ tires installed in Nov. 2012 and have at least 50% life remaining - very good tread depth. These are excellent in rain, snow, and off road, and also have a very rugged & aggressive look. Exterior underwent full detail in June 2013. Paint was cleaned (clayed), polished, waxed and sealed. Paint looks excellent near new - per photos. Light tan colored leather in good condition other than tear in drivers seat from normal use. Has the captains chairs 2nd seat option Interior (split/folding) and removable 3rd row. Leather cleaned & treated, and carpet professionally cleaned in spring 2014. Non-smoker. New Lloyds floor mats installed December 2013. This is my daily driver, runs great, has no issues, and needs nothing to my knowledge. After 11 years with this great truck, I finally bought a new Suburban (another black Z-71 !) so its time to move on. |

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
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.
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?
