Dodge Charger 1968

♠ Posted by Admin in ,
1968 Dodge Charger restored to an R/T (aka R/T Clone) with a 440 big block V8 and the R/T logos. It is one sweet ride! We can't tell you how many waves, honks and compliments we get when we take it out. This car has appreciated in value since we've owned it because there are so few left in such great condition and they are in high demand because of their "shark-like" body styling and their appearances in numerous Hollywood movies.
These cars are starting to be bought up by newly wealthy Asians, so this car may have additional investment potential. We bought this car from a dealer in Syracuse, NY, who told us that the car was originally from Virginia. If you are interested, please refer to the decoded VIN below. The car was fully restored some years ago. The restoration is of high quality all stock except for the wheels, which are chrome slotted mags. The trunk, underside, quarter panels are rust free.
 
The paint still has a high shine and you can eat out of the engine compartment. There is a small area in the doorjamb on the driver side that has some paint cracking. There is a small bubble on the trunk hood; otherwise, the car is clean from top to bottom, inside and out. The chrome is original and looks great with a few signs of thinning and fade. Interior is like new except for some wear on the center console and dash bezel.
The previous owner took care of most of the functional and mechanical parts, including new brakes, vacuum booster, master cylinder and all hardware, fresh motor and transmission, all new rubber seals front to back including all new door, trunk, hood rubber snubbers, hood seals, cowl seals, and hood insulation. Previous owner indicated the car has had a factory style undercoating applied. Some suggestions/info for the buyer: You may want to get the heater hooked up we didn't run it in the winter, so we didn't do it. Dodge Charger 1968.
The previous owner told us that this is an A/C car and left us with a box of A/C parts. The buyer gets these parts with car, but we will not vouch for the usability or condition of these parts. Since we have owned the car, We have done a compression test on the engine, overhauled the ignition system, fine-tuned the carburetor, inspected the seals, overhauled and tightened up the front end, installed a new dual exhaust with chrome tips and great sounding mufflers, and installed 4 new seat belts so the car would be a very safe and reliable driver.

Chevy Camaro Z28 1971

♠ Posted by Admin in ,
Clayton drove the car to a friend's house so they could fit-check some 17-inch wheels and tires that were borrowed from a '70 Camaro, as well as talk about suspension, brakes, and engine options. After he saw the car for the first time, wearing 17x11-inch wheels and 315/35-17 rubber, Clayton was hooked and construction began shortly thereafter. That's also when the difficulty of building a car reared its ugly head, and didn't let up for a year and a half.
About that same time, we had just finished one of Danger Mouse's best engine combinations (Part 6, Test 15) where we installed GMPP's Vortec heads, a COMP Cams Xtreme Energy hydraulic cam and rockers, an Edelbrock Performance RPM Air Gap intake, and a Demon 750 carb. DM made great power with this combo, and told Clayton it would be the perfect way to motivate the Camaro he was putting together that affectionately become known as "Zilla."
But Clayton admitted he wasn't comfortable building his own engine, so he had a copy of DM built. That turned out to be the easy part, and Zilla's new engine made over 420 hp and a monstrous 450 lb-ft of torque. Then it graced Super Chevy's cover in Aug. '03 with a follow-up story in the Jan. '04 issue detailing the entire buildup and test. Once installed in Zilla, Clayton trucked it over to Westech Performance Group for a day of riding on their Superflow chassis dyno.
The power results were typical. Zilla lost an average 21 percent through its 700-R4 automatic and 3.08-equipped 12-bolt drivetrain on its way toward making 326 rear-wheel horsepower and 398 lb-ft of rear wheel torque. Note: We would like to take this moment to correct a mistake we made in reporting Zilla's engine story back then. It was erroneously listed as having a stroke of 3.76-inch, when it's actually 3.48-inch, just like every other 350-cid Chevy ever built.
Any of you out there who have ever tried to paint a car black can understand this next part. Black is unlike any other color. In fact, black is the only color that has EVERY other color in it, except for white, and even sometimes that may be mixed in, too! When you look at a black car, everything shows-every minute detail, every scratch, every pit, every ripple; that's what caused the problem. Clayton couldn't find a painter in SoCal who was capable of delivering the kind of seamless, smooth black paint job that he wanted Zilla to wear.

Suzuki SX4 2013

♠ Posted by Admin in ,
SX4 Crossover is arguably the most European of the Japanese-assembled cars and trucks competing for the Ú.S. consumer. While the Crossover's overall dimensions are relatively small, its high roofline and spacious greenhouse make in-town errand running the proverbial piece-of-cake. The 2013 SX4 Crossover benefits from an all-new front fascia, alloy wheels, and new exterior colors.
Raised theater-style seating enhances the spacious feeling experienced by the rear seat passengers. And if your travels (and Suzuki's all-wheel drive) take you far afield, those rear seats fold, providing all the room necessary to enjoy an extended, off-the-grid holiday. In 2013 the SX4 Crossover, along wîth both Sport sedan and SportBack hatch, enjoy new seat fabrics and the availability of embedded navigation/infotainment system wîth streaming audio2 and ÚSB ports for a variety of portable music players.
With most hatches in its competitive §egmènt offering displacements either at or under 1.6 liters, Suzuki's SX4 family continues to supply a full 2.0 liters of displacement, along wîth horsepower (150 @ 6,200 rpm for those wîth manual transmissions, 148 wîth CVT) and torque (140 @ 4,000 rpm) fully commensurate wîth that larger capacity. The end result is flexibility in any driving environment, from Penn Station to Pikes Peak. The 4-cylinder's robust architecture is shared wîth its larger stablemate, the 2.4 liter Suzuki Kizashi.

The SX4's class-leading active safety features include standard Electronic Stability Program®4 (ESP) wîth traction control and four-wheel disc brakes wîth standard ABS and electronic brake-force distribution. Working in combination wîth traction control, stability control enhances vehicle stability when the SX4 corners, accelerates, is operated on slick roads or is asked to perform emergency maneuvers.
Suzuki's SX4 Sport takes the conventional 4-door recipe and adds to it a more communicative suspension, aggressive 17-inch rubber and a handful of aerodynamic modifications. The end result does nothing to compromise day-to-day practicality, but adds more than a hint of brio to a Wednesday commute or weekend journey. Both SX4 4-doors deliver the essence of Suzuki performance in a practical package.

Dodge Viper 2013

♠ Posted by Admin in ,
The SRT Viper and Viper GTS both will have same new logo called ‘Stryker’ by the viper club of America. This new viper has been given the naturally aspirated  8.4 litre v10  which produces 640hp and 600lb torque. This engine also made a record as it has more torque then any other naturally aspirated  engine in the world. The new Viper is also 25 pound lighter then the old one, and tech that includes electronic mulitstage stability control, traction control and 4 way brakes.
The whole mess is linked to a 6-speed manual (manual) transmission with a shorter throw and closer gear ratios. While I am thrilled to hear that it's got a manual transmission, I'm ecstatic to learn that the shifting situation has been improved. No more icing my right shoulder after a stint in the driver's seat. There are two versions of the new Viper; the regular one and the GTS. They both got a much-needed interior upgrade, with nicer materials. See Interior of 2013 Dodge Viper.
The legendary manual gearbox is refreshed too and is 3.55 mili second faster then older one. The body is aluminum and interoir totally new .right now there is no information about it acceleration or top speed. The 640-hp V10 aluminum engine sticks around for the reincarnated Viper. It's got a bit more horsepower that the last version, and a bit less torque, at an even 600 lb-ft. See Engine of 2013 Dodge Viper.
The look of the Viper has become iconic in the past nearly two decades, and SRT didn't want to mess with that. There were rumors that new partner-via-Fiat Ferrari might have a hand in the new Viper's design, but the final product seems to have kept the brutish American look we've come to love. The ultra-high flow intake manifold is newly lightened, and there's an aluminum flywheel.
But like so many Americans, the Viper did need to lose some weight. This was achieved by using new carbon-fiber panels for the hood, roof, and decklid, plus aluminum door panels. Signature touches like the "gills" at the fenders that cool the engine and the double-bubble roofline that allows for more headroom were kept, while the headlights and taillights got the full LED treatment and a little snarly upgrade to their look.

Toyota Rav4 2013

♠ Posted by Admin in ,
Toyota's designers have modernized the looks of the popular on both sides of the Atlantic RAV4, applying familiar styling cues from their more recent models like the Auris hatchback and estate giving the SUV a sharper appearance.The new compact crossover looks like it also features a larger footprint, which if true, should improve passenger and possibly luggage space, while the interior boasts more upscale materials, such as the leather trim on the dashboard of the display vehicle.
We have nothing official yet on the 2013 RAV4's specifications, but it has been rumored for a while now that the North American model may drop the V6 option and follow the example of the rivaling Honda CR-V offering a single four-cylinder engine. In other regions like Europe, the new RAV4 will be available with diesel units as well, possibly sourced from the BMW Group as part of an agreement signed between the two automakers.
Stay tuned for more as the 2013 RAV4 will make its global debut later today at the Los Angeles Auto Show. RAV4 was a two-time comparison-test champ, so you know we liked it, but it had exactly one thrilling characteristic: The totally bitchin’, un-crossover-like gusto provided by the optional V-6. (Seriously. Zero to 60 in 6.4 seconds.) But now that’s gone, as the new, fourth-generation 2013 Toyota RAV4 will amble through suburbia exclusively on four-cylinder power.
The rest of the formula all the sorta boring stuff that made it great carries over, though, with some key additions to bring it up to modern spec. The four-cylinder is again a 2.5-liter unit, this time making 176 hp versus the previous model’s 179. (Torque stays pat at 172 lb-ft.) Both front- and all-wheel-drive models will be offered, the latter gaining the ability to shunt torque fore and aft and a locking mode that forces more power rearward in low-speed, low-traction situations such as when digging through mud or sand.
This time around, the RAV4 gets a six-speed automatic transmission, which replaces a crusty four-speed unit and incorporates an S mode that blips the throttle on downshifts. The swap improves fuel economy by about five to ten percent, to 24/31 for FWD models and 22/29 for all-wheel-drivers, but we think those trading in their old RAV4s will most enjoy the lower levels of engine noise while on the freeway.

Volkswagen Golf 7 2013

♠ Posted by Admin in ,
According to the German automaker, this helps to create a 10 per cent improvement in the drag co-efficient, which now stands at 0.27 Cd. The increased exterior dimensions benefit the interior with the new Golf offering 15mm (0.59 inches) more rear legroom, while front shoulder room is improved by 31 mm (1.22 inches) to 1,420 mm / 55.9 inches (rear by 30 mm or 1.18 inches), and elbow room by 22 mm (0.87 inches) to 1,469 mm / 57.8 inches (20 mm wider at the rear).
The luggage compartment has grown by 30 liters to 380 liters, while the front passenger seat can be optionally fold fully forward, creating a loadspace of up to 2,412 mm (95 inches) long. As we noted in our previous post, the interior styling evolves the design seen on the outgoing Mk6 Golf with the most visible change concerning the center console that is now angled more towards the driver.
New highlights include the touchscreen systems, which at least in certain European countries such as the UK, will come as standard on all models, starting with a 5.8-inch color display system, and rising to the range-topping satellite navigation system with eight-inch color display, plus the new electronic parking brake with an auto-hold feature. Also, for the first time in a Volkswagen, the compartment under the centre armrest optionally includes a universal phone holder with inductive aerial.
 
Among other standard safety features are the multi-collision brake system that automatically applies the brakes on the car after a collision to reduce kinetic energy and minimize the chance of a second impact, and the PreCrash system that re-tensions seatbelts and closes the windows and sunroof, leaving just a small gap, to ensure protection from the airbags during a crash.
Other available aids include Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Assist, which can bring the Golf to a complete stop and operates at speeds of up to 150 km/h (93 mph); City Emergency Braking, which operates at up to 30 km/h (19 mph); and the Park Assist that automatically parallel parks the car in a space no more than 80 cm (31.5 inches) longer than itslef.

Range Rover 2013

♠ Posted by Admin in ,
2013 Range Rover has received positive reactions on the web, but many have criticized its close resemblance, especially the light fittings, to the Ford Explorer and the Ford Flex. Ford was the previous owner of the luxury marque and unsolicited comments even accused Ford of duping Land Rover by copying these designs on its cars before the Range Rover could hit the market.
The 2013 Range Rover is the first model to have undergone its entire development post Tata Motors’ acquisition of Land Rover. The company has the put the model through a diet, and as a result, it has shed 317 kg. This was possible by making an all-aluminum unibody structure, the first in the world for any SUV. This incredible weight loss was not aided by downsizing.
And testimony to this claim is the rear legroom that has been increased by 4.7 inches. Off-roading is made possible by the Land Rover “Terrain Response 2 Auto” system fitted to the car. Other features include a premium MeridianTM sound system and a split tailgate. For the North American market, V8 engines paired to a new eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, will be on offer.
Rumor has it that a plug-in hybrid option will join the ranks in the next few years. The new Range Rover will be manufactured at Land Rover’s Solihull plant in the United Kingdom. The new Range Rover is likely to premiere at the 2012 Paris Auto Show which begins late next month and is expected to land in India next year. The 2013 Range Rover was tested in over 20 countries for over a million miles.
With over 4.7 inches more legroom than the outgoing model, the rear occupants benefit from vastly increased space and comfort. The option of a two place rear seating package provides for the ultimate in personalized rear-seat luxury. To deliver the characteristic effortless performance expected by customers, the Range Rover will continue to offer a choice of V8 engines in the North American.
