After years of speculation, spy photos, and rumors, General Motors revealed its Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 as a 2009 model. As expected, the ZR1 is the most powerful and most expensive Corvette model ever. In fact, the ZR1 is expected to be the first production Corvette to hit a top speed of 200mph.

The time has arrived, no more gossip, unidentified sightings or gibberish. General Motors is releasing its 2009 model of the Chevrolet Corvette, called the ZR1. As anticipated, the ZR1 Corvette comes out the gate as the most powerful Chevy Corvette model ever built. It is also the most expensive but a fraction of what a competing Porsche costs.

The all-new LS9 engine is based on a modified LS3 6.2-liter block and is expected to deliver 100 horsepower per liter. One can expect the motor to produce 620 horsepower with approximately 600 pound-feet.

Some performance test numbers have not been disclosed by GM due to some ongoing tweaking. However, it's safe to say the ZR1 should go from zero to 60mph close to the 3.0 second mark since the Z06 does it in 3.6 seconds. Moreover, the Z06 only has 505 horsepower compared to 620 for the new ZR1.

The ZR1, according to Chevy engineers, sports a power to weight ratio that is nothing short of outstanding. It is said to have a better power to weight ratio than the Porsche GT2, the Ferrari 599 and the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. In summary, the new Corvette is said to weigh nearly 200 pounds more than a Z06 and to push some of the weight to the front just a tad to yield a 52/48 front/rear ratio.

GM engineers utilized the Z06 chassis as a base, but tweaked the front and rear independent suspension to work with the ZR1's ultra-wide tires for increased road traction. According to GM, the car achieves 1g cornering grip.

The ZR1 features GM's Magnetic Selective Ride Control (MSRC) suspension system which is an adjustable suspension system. The system adjusts every millisecond and offers sharp handling during aggressive driving, and a comfortable luxurious ride when cruising on open roads or along the countryside. Corvette chief engineer's claim due to the MSRC damping control, the ZR1 has a less adventurous ride over bumps than its predecessor, the Z06.

Other tweaks in the chassis area include Brembo calipers which hug large carbon-ceramic rotors which are typically made for Ferrari's Enzo and FXX. The CCM is needed due to the ZR1 having the largest wheel width and diameter of any Corvette produced. The rims measure 19 inches up front and 20 inches in rear diameter. The width of the rear is a colossal 12 inches, while the front wheels are close behind at 10 inches of width.

It all sounds good, so when can you drive it. You'll have to wait a bit until first spin, which is a few months off. Maybe the numbers above can convince you to wait for the fastest, high-tech, and perhaps the most unique Corvette ever made.

The Aveo Extravaganza

Technological innovation is the buzzword at General Motors, which is well exhibited in the Chevy Aveo sedan as well as the hatchback. These cars have been the talk of the town ever since they have been introduced in the Indian market. They score over the other cars in the related segments, capturing and captivating the hearts of car lovers. The high number of the vehicles visible on the roads, almost outnumbering other models well substantiates the fact. The variants in the Chevrolet Aveo include Aveo 1.4 E, Aveo 1.4, Aveo 1.4 LS, Aveo 1.6 LT; the Aveo U-VA represents three variants Aveo U-VA 1.2, Aveo U-VA 1.2 LS, and Aveo U-VA 1.2 LT.

Starting at INR 399,900 (ex-showroom price, Delhi), the Aveo U-VA is powered by 1.2 L SOHC engine, pumping out an impressive power of 76 PS @ 5500 rpm and maximum torque of 110 Nm @ 4400 rpm. You can experience a good mileage – 15kmpl on highways and 10.6 kmpl on city roads. The zing factor that the car exhibits is given momentum by its peppy design. The frontage is ornamented with body colored bumper, jewel-like headlamps, and horizontal grille with the rear side added to by sparkling taillights. The splendor of the interiors can be felt with the grey hue, fabric on door trims, storage space, flexible cup-holders (for rear and front seated users), a deposit box placed in the centre console, and lot more features. Another unique accouterment is the driver's sun visor supported by a ticket clip.

You can enjoy an effortless driving experience with the Aveo U-VA given the finely tuned controls and the power steering at the same time maintaining good speed facilitated by the avant garde suspension system. GM has designed the car considering the safety aspects of the driver as well as the passengers; the front and rear bumpers are made collision-resistant. Other safety features hem in child locks on the rear doors, centre high mount stop lamp, door ajar warning, headlamp-leveling device, optional anti-lock braking system, and more optional features.

The Chevrolet Aveo 1.6 and Aveo 1.4 are GM’s highly innovative sedan models. Since the time the Aveo has been introduced in the market in February 2006, it has garnered record breaking ‘prop up’ from car lovers owing to its excellent performance aspects, dynamic looks, and huge cabin space. The engines are outfitted with sequential fuel injection system, backed by 32-Bit ECM. Its eye-catching fascia is enhanced by a sleek front grille, triangular taillights, flared wheel arches, curved roofline with a tinge of chrome ornamenting the rear fraction. It is Faux-brushed aluminum and chrome with flickers of grey and wood inserts all over the place that further boosts up the interior grandeur of the Aveo. The Aveo price is less compared to other cars in its segment - an approximate Rs. 6.45 lakh. Reviews in car portals speak volume about the low Aveo price as well as comfortability, safety, performance, power, and handling aspects of the sedan.

What are Edelbrock Headers?

I just bought a
1999 Chevy Silverado 1500 V8 5.3L Ext Cab Short Bed 4x4
Power seats, power windows, power mirrors, power locks

It came with
3 inch lift kit
Mud Terrain Tires
Chrome wheels
Magnaflow Exhaust System
Air horns
K&N Performance Air Intake
Edelbrock Headers
Power Tuner
XM Radio
$3500 worth of amp, subs, power cap etc

Now here is my question,
What are headers? What do they do? And is Edelbrock good?

Don't be mean. I'm sorry I'm not very smart. I'm 19 years old, and I am a girl. I don't know everything under the hood.

Do you think I got a good deal? The KBB is $8000, not including all the extras, I bought the truck a week ago for $4500

Thanks!

The headers are the round pipes that come off the engine and collect the exhaust to go out the pipe. Edelbrock is a brand name. They are an ok exhaust manifold. They give the engine a very cool cackling sound.
As for the price It sounds to me that you did quite well.
Hope this helps
