2009 ZR1 Chassis Revealed
With the North American International Auto Show in full Preview-mode now, we are getting some great glimpses of the 2009 Corvette ZR1! Today, Eric Bryant of AutoBlog had a fantastic write up on the ZR1 Chassis that is on full display at Cobo Center.
Chevy went all out by stripping down the hot ZR1 and giving us the bare bones of why this car is as great as it is, labeling each individual part with a number and giving show-goers the ability to understand what everything is.
If you're not lucky enough to be headed to NAIAS this coming week, then by all means check out Eric's great write up and get your information overload on the ZR1 chassis. Don't forget to check out AutoBlog's gallery of images of the chassis as well.
Are you all as excited as we are to see this thing in person?! Whew!

A Real Look at the LS9 Engine in the ZR1
Wow. When we came across the breakdown of the LS9 engine that our friends at Jalopnik did, we had to share it with all of you.
They have done a fantastic job of breaking down the engine into each different piece and part and laid it out in an easy to understand (and beautiful to look at) image on their site.
Click the picture or the link below to check out the large version.

807+ Corvette Pictures
This is kind of random, but also very unique and fun to browse through. The website, HowStuffWorks.com has a huge gallery of various Corvette pictures from its inception to now.
Now when I say gallery, I mean a growing collection! When I started writing this article, there was 803 pictures, and now as I finish it, there are 807! We'll have to watch how this fluctuates.
Either way, enjoy the ride!

Corvette Design Elements Celebrated
When Hemmings celebrated "75 Years of American Automotive Styling" in the inaugural issue of Classic Car Magazine a few years ago, Corvette was included as an illustration.
Hemmings wrote: "From a heritage and design standpoint that was uniquely Detroit came the incredibly American Corvette, which had established itself in the American car market before its first total redesign. The one-year-only split-window treatment has progressed from the most controversial aspect of this car to its most desirable".

Corvette Limousines -- A Trend?
It was inevitable that Corvette limousines be created, right? There are Hummer limo's and Chrysler 300 limo's. There are even medium duty truck limo's these days.
Sorry, but I wasn't really ready for Corvette limousines. I saw this white 1994 vehicle at the GoldAuction at Bloomington Gold. The black 1979 Vette (below) was pictured recently at corvetteblogger dot com.
What do you think? Is there a market for streeetttccchhheed Corvettes?

Callaway Corvette Convertible
Corvette question for the day: how does the new Callaway Corvette convertible deal with the torque?
"Equipped with Callaway’s 560-hp supercharged 6.0-liter V8, the C16 Convertible is also available with an optional Performance Package that delivers 616 supercharged horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 582 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm."
For years, Chevrolet has stated that the Z06 would not be made available in convertible form because of the massive amounts of torque applied to the body under power. Clearly weight reduction was, and is, important to the Z06 to enable "drive out of the showroom" speeds of over 200 mph, so a convertible's mechanisms would not help in this regard. In addition, the upper part of the body cage also helps ameliorate the contortions a high torqued powerplant would otherwise provide.
Clearly, the Callaway C16 Convertible challenges this assumption. And it is beautiful, too!

50th Commemorative Edition Corvette
As I wandered through the Detroit Autorama at Cobo Hall on Friday, looking for Corvettes, and in total amazement at the beautiful display of sheet metal and rolled fiberglass composite, I encountered a former client of mine.
As we chatted for a few, Larry Baker explained to me that he had acquired a vehicle in which I, as an author of the Corvette Blog, would be interested. And was he ever correct! He is an owner of a 50th Commemorative Corvette!

New Corvette Callaway C16
And while we remain in awe of the beautiful Corvette inspirations from n2a Motors (the 789) and Advanced Automotive Technologies (the 50th Commemorative Edition) about which we’ve written this week, check into this marvelous option.
The 2007 Callaway C16 not only offers a gorgeous alternative body for the Corvette lover, it provides amazing performance right now. Right now, as in not needing to wait for the factory’s promised Corvette SS a couple of summers
from now.
Callaway’s association with Corvette goes back some thirty years, and these folks are expert in every area of endeavor.
Check our Blog another time (or subscribe to Corvette Blog today) and you will soon see photos of a selection of great Callaway Corvettes that I recently saw at the National Corvette Museum. We are talking legendary vehicles!

Corvettes at Detroit Autorama Show - Part I
There were many beautiful Corvettes at the Detroit Autorama this past weekend!
One of my favorite Corvettes, without question, was the 789, manufactured by n2a Motors of Santa Ana, California.
The front of the vehicle resembles the 1957 full sized Chevrolet. The side resembles the 1958. The rear is all 1959 Impala. All of this is assembled on a C6 Corvette chassis. Honestly, it may not sound right on paper, but this vehicle is beautiful!

The Scoop on Corvette SS (a.k.a. Blue Devil)
Corvette rumors. Suggestions. Disavowals. Spy shots. Retractions. You'd think it was a soap opera!
When Winding Road broke their story about their bogus black Corvette SS, do you remember the hulking scoop on the hood?
When Jalopnik and others revealed the "real photos" of the red Corvette SS at Detroit Metropolitan Airport in Romulus last month, did you notice the cover/bra over the hood? It is not hiding a raised scoop, right? Where did it go?

Corvette Conversions
Classic Reflection Coachworks of Lakewood, Washington wants to take your C5 Corvette and customize it to look like a 1962.
The appeal of such cars (beside the fact that you see them more in your dreams than on the street) is the opportunity to blend various styles and design cues together, to put excitement and fun back into the old familiar shapes, to haunt our thoughts with these wide-eyed round headlights and muscle-car curves once again.
Their handiwork is remarkable. In the words of CRC: "This new automotive conversion transforms your C5 Corvette Roadster into a modern legend. It takes you back in time to a classic looking car, yet it has the safety, comfort and performance of America’s most desired sports car."

Do Celebrities Sell Cars?
Yes, the question is: "Do Celebrities Sell Cars?"
The General took a major flying leap to answer this question here in Detroit Saturday evening, January 6, by staging an impressive limited access venue called the GM Style Event. On the banks of the Detroit River, under an elaborate tent next to the Renaissance Center, GM presented its newest bevy of concept vehicles and future product to approximately 1200 invited guests, in the company of eighteen or so Hollywood luminaries (Carmen Electra, Kristen Bell, Rosie Perez, etc.)
Autoblog covered it best. See their amazing array of 216 high-resolution, paparazzi-style celeb shots. Locally around Detroit, news coverage was all but non-existent.

Corvette Stingray Twin Cowl Dash Look Returns in 2008 Chevy Malibu
The press is abuzz with the first photograph released of a beautiful 2008 Chevrolet Malibu interior.
The vehicle itself is to be revealed to the public at the North American International Auto Show in January.
Auto writer Mark Phelan of the Detroit Free Press reported (November 22): "The first picture of the car's interior reveals a far more upscale and inventive design than the current model's straightforward passenger cabin. The interior features a dual-cowl dashboard reminiscent of Chevrolet's classic Corvette Stingray and a two-tone interior with optional leather trim."

Photoshop a Corvette
This is kind of a neat tutorial for any of you Photoshop users out there. This Corvette fan used a picture taken at the Museum and changes the color of the classic Stingray Corvette. The Graphic Reporter, a fun web source for 'how tos' in graphics, starts:
I took a picture of a gorgeous Stingray not long ago at the Corvette Museum in Kentucky. The shot turned out beautifully, though, what if I wanted to change the car color to something else? It'd be easy enough if the turquoise was solid, but the car is shiny and contains reflections. You'd think making this car a bright purple would be a time-consuming and frustratingly tedious job. Not so my friends.
Check it out now, if for nothing else than to see the changed picture of the Vette!

Corvette Wins Car of Year Honors
North American Car of the Year. That has a nice ring to it doesn't it? Well, DailySportsCar.com thought enough of the C6.R Corvette to give it the honor. The online magazine is considered a top source on racing and GT series coverage. The awesome yellow Compuware Corvette C6.R race cars raced to 10 of 11 victories last year.
In an article on WhoWon.com, I like the quotes that author Rick Voegelin highlights:
"Among the many accolades that Corvette Racing has received since the introduction of the C6.R, one of the crowning achievements is this award from dailysportscar.com," said Corvette Racing program manager Doug Fehan.
