Chevrolet Corvette including Edelbrock
The new Corvette has a 400 hp engine so notable named the LS2. The predecessor was the LS1 model at a mere 350 hp. This engine along with aerodynamics allows this Corvette to have the highest top speed of any Corvette, including the exotic ZR-1 model from the early 1990's. This new engine is all aluminum and with the Z51 package, allows the fastest acceleration of any model currently available.
The team considered using a 405 hp LS6 engine, but it had a lot of special components in it to get that horsepower. They were afraid that the cam might have been too aggressive for everyday street driving. When the team finished, they came up with a 400 hp engine at 6,000 RPM. The engine also boasts 25 lb-ft greater torque than the previous engine. Torque numbers are 400 lb-ft at 4,400 RPM. Now the engine is larger. The engine displacement increased from 346 cu in to 364 cu in. This was accomplished by a larger cylinder bore of 101.6mm. The stroke remained the same at 92mm. The LS2 also uses a higher lift cam and stronger valve springs. Another engine feature is the throttle body has been increased from 75mm to 90mm which allows more air into the engine. Couple all of this together with new flat top pistons at a higher compression of 10.9:1 and faster responding fuel and engine management computers results in one of the most advanced engines GM ever put in a car.
Due to state emissions regulations Corvettes and every other car manufactured have to abide by strict guidelines to comply with noise ordinances and highway safety standards. While these laws and regulations are often more strictly enforced with motorcycles and cars custom built for road racing the system in a brand new Corvette or even a Corvette kept in mint condition may not be enough to satisfy an owner looking for a more powerful sound.
To improve engine horsepower and get a more throaty sound from the exhaust many car owners will swap out the OEM system and replace it with any of the high quality performance exhaust systems available on the exhaust part aftermarket. When performing and exhaust swap Corvette owners need to carefully shop for specific exhaust parts including mufflers, headers, crossover pipes, exhaust tips and catalytic converters. Available in high quality metals including shiny chrome, stainless steel and durable carbon fiber.
Unless you have an inside source for available Corvette parts your best bet for finding high performance and high quality exhaust systems and parts is to go online and search through aftermarket suppliers to locate the right parts for your specific make and model of Corvette. While some systems and mufflers are universal fit others are engineered for certain types of engines and will only work on specific car models.

2011 The Chevrolet Volt will initially be released in California
After the first 40 miles a 4 cylinder gasoline/E85-powered engine generator will create on board electricity to a 53kw generator which will enable the Volt to travel a further 300 miles. The power from the generator is sent either to the batteries or the electric motor depending on how much the battery is charged and how much power is required for the car. There are many other features in the Chevrolet Volt as well such as liquid crystal element display, which is completely configurable by the driver along with a seven inch display for viewing vehicle information.
It has a touch screen with climate controls for information and entertainment. There is the provision for an optional navigation system with its own on board hard drive for storing music or whatever you like. There is also a standard Bluetooth device to be used with cell phones and Bluetooth and USB connectivity to enable fast music streaming. The Chevrolet Volt has been scheduled and is expected to be released in late 2010. The price of the car is estimated at around $40,000.
In an industry often chided for dragging its feet when it comes to saving the environment, GM has taken a stand to be the champion of the new electric car. Having failed once before in the 1990s with the EV-1, GM is taking a huge risk by promising an as-yet undeveloped car in just two years. GM needs to build the battery to power this revolutionary car. Between engineering and testing, this could constitute a lengthy and expensive process - and the possibility then exists that GM may not follow through on its promise.
In addition to the science of it all, there's the publicity. GM's name hasn't been inspiring trust and building confidence in the past decade. They've been slow to respond to a changing market and suffered through expensive strikes and internal problems. If this special project succeeds, it may be their ticket out of the hole they dug themselves. If it fails, well, at least they would have inspired their competitors to go out and build us a plug-in hybrid.
The Chevrolet Volt is generating a tremendous amount of press. Try this link to follow all the Volt news, see additional pictures, read updates on the Volt's price (recently bumped to $40,000), and eventually find the release date and availability data.
The Volt will initially be released in California, followed by New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Washington D.C., Michigan and Texas. 12 to 18 months later, nearly all of the 600 Chevy dealers nationwide should be selling the hybrid car, The Volt.

The Chevrolet Camaro Was Introduced a compact car
Camaro SS
The Super Sport struggles to remember the days of big block power. Chevrolet website states that this 6.2-liter V8 engine can get a real world 19 mpg in the test cycle of the EPA. But with 422 horses available, many of them will not be able to maintain sufficient in itself to see your best mileage. In fact, after meeting the SS, it was difficult to return to the dealer. The SS does all the RS does, but more strongly. The treatment is somewhat compromised by the engine is heavier, but the suspension does a good job of reigning in the case of understeer becomes a problem, prudent (not widespread, especially the SS) the application of gas that help you step right rear independent steering and out of vehicles. "
Conclusion
To stay at least 300 horsepower and an impressive number of standard equipment, the 2010 Camaro is fun. Check the option box for the engine of the SS and feel superhuman when behind the wheel. Although the outward visibility is compromised in some way, there will be mistakes down the road is nothing more than a Camaro. Given all this, it is not surprising that this vehicle has earned the status of collection of the best of a consumer purchase.
The Chevrolet Camaro Was Introduced a compact car in North America by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors at the start of the 1967 model year as competition for the Ford Mustang.
Although It Was Technically a compact (by the standards of the time), the Camaro, like the Entire class of Mustang competitiors, soon Was Known as a pony car.
Though the car's name Was contrived with No Meaning, General Motors Researchers found a Frenchman in the word dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion." Ford Motor Company Researchers Discovered other definitions, Including "a shrimp-like creatures" and an arcane term for "loose bowels"! In Some automotive periodicals before official release, It Was code-named "Panther."

New generations of CHEVROLET CAMARO SS
The 2010 Camaro is one of the few cars coming out very nice design as the prototype of the study. Instead of providing an updated fifth-generation Camaro, sometimes abused the retro theme has been selected, listening to the signals new design that made the car a big hit when it debuted in 1967. However, Chevrolet has done a wonderful job of evoking the flavors of the past with modern comforts. But how to handle the new Camaro 2010?
Camaro RS
Several trim levels are available to make the demand for cars as you like, but many people watching one of the two models: the RS and SS versions. My first test was hard with the six-cylinder power RS (Rally Sport for) version. This V6 engine is a version of the company that General Motors is in many of its cars in those days. With direct injection and other modern technologies, this engine over 300 horsepower. For reference, the last of the fourth-generation Camaro that only about 20 hp more, and that was with a V8 engine.
Generation 2
The larger second-generation Camaro featured an all-new sleek body and improved suspension. The 1970-1/2 Camaro debuted as a 2 +2 coupe, not convertible Was Offered Would not Appear and again until well into the third generation.
Most of the engine and drivetrain components Were Carried over from 1969 with the exception of the 230 in ³ (3.8 L) six cylinder - the base engine Was now the 250 in ³ (4.1 L) six rated at 155 hp (116 kW).

From the cockpit
Standard equipment on the 2010 Camaro is great, but some materials are a little "hard on the eyes and a little" less soft to the touch for a car of this price. The dark interior contrasts with the thin sliver of light passing through the very attractive, but hard to see from the window. Some function is, unfortunately, sacrificed in the name of the form and sell more cars.
The RS may be the best option for many, with the standard independent rear suspension and the light that contributes to a six-cylinder front light with enough power to make the RS a great handling machine. Autocrossers possible, as the RS for this reason. But what the six missing, as well as a shock to V8 territory, is the kick in the pants and the power of sound corporate governance LS series of engines installed on more expensive models. Without further ado, let the Camaro "King of the Hill."
