If you live around Tampa, FL or have picked up Vette magazine once or twice you may have seen his handiwork. <a target="_blank" href="http://antivenomefi.com/">AntiVenom</a> has been putting together some of the sickest late model GM EFIs in central Florida, and we will soon be working with them on a number of projects including plenty of 2010 Camaro tech with the very same car we used in the photo shoot. This 6-speed manual is bone stock at the moment, but we've been just itching to pop the hood and get to work. Stand-bye for more mind-blowing tech.</p><br /><br /><div><a href="http://blogs.gmhightechperformance.com/6577897/gm-high-tech-performance-magazine/big-thanks-to-antivenom/index.html">Read More</a> |

Felix has several incredible LS transplants including an S10 and an RX7, but this takes the cake in my humble opinion. Granted its exterior and interior still need restoration, but it has all the makings for a sick hot rod. While looking underhood both Felix at Tune Time owner Matt Hauffe both commented that there is plenty of room for a pair of turbos. Felix already upgraded the rear to a narrowed 8.5-inch 10-bolt from a Caprice, so with a little forced motivation and some TLC this Buford will be ready to rumble.<br></p><br /><br /><div><a href="http://blogs.gmhightechperformance.com/6597306/gm-high-tech-performance-magazine/favorite-ls-conversion-ever/index.html">Read More</a> |

Qualifying on Saturday was slightly spoiled by cloud cover and many neccessary track clean-ups. The cool air and warm sun earlier in the day put enough heat in the track to cause several rear end explosions, and as it got colder into the late afternoon and evening, previous tune-ups seemed insufficient. Thankfully the track staff worked diligently to get the track back into shape, and the NMCA did its best to keep the faster cars safe. Qualifying will continue into this morning, followed by heads-up eliminations of All Motor, Drag Radial and Rumble.<br><br>Despite the difficulties, True Street managed to wrap things up last night and several new LSX records were set. Texas Speed shattered its previous heads/cam n/a record with its Z28 shop car, and the SAM's Hugger Orange SS set a new all-motor record as well while still shaking the bugs out of its new combo. Bobby Lashley (Sept '09) and his 2000 Camaro, though its 4-link disqualified him from All-Motor competition, made the trip to Memphis just to chase SAM's record. Hopefully a few tweaks to the tune by Steve Petty of ProLine Race Engines will get him closer, but it appears a Liberty 5-speed may be in order. It's working for SAM!<br><br>Also of note, drag radial looks to be very close this year. Several cars seem to be within two tenths of each other including Steve Turley, Mark Koehler, and Jim Filipowski. Meanwhile LMR's new twin turbo TA, which is still being tuned, has lopped .2-.5 of of a second off its ET every trip down the track. Will they get it dialed-in in time?<br></p><p>&nbsp;</p><br /><br /><div><a href="http://blogs.gmhightechperformance.com/6581858/gm-high-tech-performance-magazine/lsx-shootout-eliminations-today/index.html">Read More</a> |

It's 1970 again! <br></p><p>This 2010 #6 Sunoco Camaro will make its debut at the <a href="http://www.virnow.com/bosch-octoberfest-2009.html" target="_blank"><font color="#319bd8">Koni Challenge race</font></a> being held this Sunday, October 4, 2009 at Virginia International Raceway. The #6 Sunoco Camaro is a testament to the dominant 1969 #6 Penske Sunoco Camaro driven by Mark Donohue and Ronnie Bucknum. The pair piloted the blue-and-yellow Camaro to a second straight Trans Am championship in 1969. 40 years later, their sons, David Donohue and Jeff Bucknum (both established racers), will co-pilot the 2010 #6 Sunoco Camaro.<br><br>(Source : Camaro5, Koni) <br></p><p>&nbsp;</p><br /><br /><div><a href="http://blogs.gmhightechperformance.com/6591654/miscellaneous/sunoco-camaro-6-heading-to-vir/index.html">Read More</a> |

We have decided that GM isn't fair. <br></p><p>&nbsp;An all-new Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle (PPV) will join the ranks of law enforcement departments across North America in 2011. It’s a modern, full-size, rear-drive sedan that will offer both V-8 and V-6 engines, as well as a host of specialized equipment and features.<br><br>Chevrolet made the announcement at the annual International Association of Chiefs of Police convention, in Denver, Colorado. The Caprice PPV will be available for ordering next year and will hit the streets in early 2011.<br><br>“The new Chevrolet Caprice police car is the right tool at the right time for law enforcement,” said Jim Campbell, general manager for GM Fleet and Commercial Operations. “We asked for a lot of feedback from our police customers, which helped us develop a vehicle that is superior to the Crown Victoria in key areas.”<br><br>Vice President, Global Chevrolet Brand Brent Dewar added, “Along with Impala and Tahoe, the Caprice PPV gives agencies a greater range of choices for police and special service vehicles that are all available from Chevrolet.”<br><br>Unlike other police cars on the market, the Caprice PPV is not based on existing “civilian” passenger-car model sold in North America. It has been developed in key areas specifically for police duty, containing modern equipment and features:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Powerful 6.0L V-8 with fuel-saving Active Fuel Management technology and E85 capability delivers expected best-in-class 0-60 acceleration (sub six seconds) and top speed; a V-6 engine will also be offered, beginning in the 2012 model year<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Optional front-seat-only side curtain air bags allows a full-width rear-seat barrier for greater officer safety<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Two trunk-mounted batteries, with one of them dedicated to powering various police equipment<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Designed for five-passenger seating, meaning the upper-center section of the dashboard can be used for equipment mounting without the concern of air bag deployment interference<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Compatibility with in-dash touch-screen computer technology<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Special front seats designed for the long-term comfort of officers whose car is their effective office, including space that accommodates the bulk of a typical equipment belt <br><br>The front seats are sculpted to “pocket” the equipment belt, which greatly increases the comfort for a great range of police officer sizes. The foam density of the seatback and cushion insert surfaces are designed to conform to the shape of an equipment belt’s various items, too, allowing the officer’s back to rest properly on the seatback surface.<br><br>“The Chevrolet Caprice PPV’s seats represent a revolution in comfort and utility for officers who spend long hours in their car,” said Bob Demick, lead seat design manager. “The shape also enhances entry and egress, making it easier for officers to exit the vehicle quickly. The seatback bolsters, for example, have been purposefully contoured to help pocket the equipment on the belt, which includes the gun, Taser and handcuffs, which rest comfortably in the sculpted lower bolsters. That also increases the longevity of the trim cover surface.”<br><br>Along with comfort, the materials used in the seats were also carefully selected. High-wear materials were chosen to stand up to long hours of everyday use, while breathability, long-term durability and ease of cleaning were also important criteria.<br><br>Engineers worked on several iterations of the seat, testing a couple of versions in the field to get real-world feedback from police officers, who used prototype seats in their cruisers for a month. Their input helped determine the final design.<br><br>Class-leading space<br><br>The Caprice PPV is based on GM’s global rear-drive family of vehicles that also underpins the Chevy Camaro. It uses the longest wheelbase of the architecture – 118.5 inches (3,010 mm) – along with a four-wheel independent suspension that delivers responsive high-performance driving characteristics that are crucial in some police scenarios.<br><br>Caprice PPV’s long wheelbase also contributes to exceptional spaciousness. Compared to the primary competition, its advantages include:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * A larger interior volume – 112 cubic feet / 3,172 liters – than the Ford Crown Victoria, including nearly 4 inches (101 mm) more rear legroom<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * The barrier between the front seat and rear seat is positioned farther rearward, allowing for full front-seat travel and greater recline for officer comfort<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * At 18 cubic feet (535 liters) free space (beyond battery located in trunk), the Caprice’s trunk volume is large enough to accommodate a full-size spare tire under a flat load surface in the trunk storage area. <br><br>The Caprice’s 6.0-liter V-8 is rated at an estimated 355 horsepower (265 kW) with an estimated 384 lb-ft of torque. It is backed by a six-speed automatic transmission that is performance-calibrated for police duty. Additional, police car-specific powertrain and vehicle system features include:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * High-output alternator<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Engine oil, transmission and power steering coolers<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Standard 18-inch steel wheels with bolt-on center caps<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Large, four-wheel disc brakes with heavy-duty brake pads<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Heavy-duty suspension components<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Police-calibrated stability control system<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; * Driver information center in the instrument cluster with selectable speed tracking feature.<br><br>A host of complementary features are also offered, including special equipment packages such as spotlights; lockouts for the power windows and locks; and an “undercover” street-appearance package (9C3).<br><br>To enable more room for interior equipment, the standard radio can be relocated to the trunk, allowing for an in-dash, touch-screen computer to be used.<br><br>Caprice on patrol: A brief history<br><br>Chevrolet’s history with law enforcement is almost as old as the brand itself. Police departments have used Chevy sedans as police cars for decades, ordering them with basic equipment and powerful V-8 engines – including some special engines that weren’t available in regular-production models, such as the 1959 Biscayne that was offered with up to 315 horsepower.<br><br>The full-size Chevrolets joined the force in 1976. All Caprice police cars – including the new, 2011 model – have carried the 9C1 order code. Here’s a quick look back at Chevys on patrol:<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1959 – Chevy Biscayne police model capable of 135 mph with specially tuned, police-only version of the 348-cubic-inch V-8 engine<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1965 – The new “big-block” 396 engine is offered in Biscayne and Bel Air police cars, making them among the most powerful on patrol; a 427 V-8 was added in 1966<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1976 – The 9C1 order code is given for the first time to a full-size Chevy police car package. It carries the Impala name.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1977 – The full-size Chevy is downsized. The 9C1 police package is retained, as is the Impala name.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1986 – The Caprice name replaces Impala, as the car is updated for the mid- and late-1980s – including the option of a powerful, 5.7-liter small-block V-8.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1991 – A new-generation Caprice is launched, with the 9C1 police car still on the beat.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1994 – The 260-horsepower (194 Nm) LT1 V-8 engine is offered in the Caprice 9C1, making it one of the fastest full-size police cars ever offered.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1996 – Caprice police car production ends, as GM’s full-size, body-on-frame car architecture is discontinued.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2011 – The Caprice PPV returns to active duty.<br><br>About Chevrolet and General Motors:<br>Chevrolet is one of America 's best-known and best-selling automotive brands, and one of the fastest growing brands in the world. With fuel solutions that go from "gas-friendly to gas-free," Chevy has nine models that get 30 miles per gallon or more on the highway, and offers three hybrid models.

According to the Detroit Free Press a Buick GNX was traded in for $4500 credit thanks to the Cash For Clunkers program. Now leaving only 546 rare GNX's left. What I don't understand is why you would trade it in. One would assume you knew how rare this car was and if you needed cash I know you could get more than $4500 from any enthusiast out there. Not the only victim, classic Corvettes were also some of the exotics that were traded in.<br></p><br /><br /><div><a href="http://blogs.gmhightechperformance.com/6560437/miscellaneous/rare-1987-buick-gnx-destroyed-in-cash-for-clunkers-trade-in/index.html">Read More</a> |

The CNC class had been underway for a week or so during my visit, led by newly-hired instructor Tim Markoski. Tim has over 20 years of CNC experience working in Canada, Mexico, UK and all over the United States, including the North Carolina area with NASCAR teams. Tim has Mastercam and Haas experience and has taught CNC and CAD/CAM. He'll be providing students with hands-on training using this state-of-the-art equipment doing the most basic techniques all the way up to the most complicated 5th axis head porting. SAM is filled with other top notch equipment like the SuperFlow SF-600 flow bench, which they use quite frequently to test various port work.<br></p><br /><br /><div><a href="http://blogs.gmhightechperformance.com/6573605/editorials/school-of-automotive-machinists/index.html">Read More</a> |
