Joe Flacco Named Super Bowl MVP and Wins a 2014 Corvette Stingray【Video】

<center><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="400" name="I5" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/z49duwQ4Zao" width="600"></iframe></center><br />Joe Flacco won a whole lot more than just a Super Bowl championship after leading the Baltimore Ravens to their second title in team history. Chevy was the official sponsor of the Super Bowl XLVII MVP Award and presented Flacco with the keys to a 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />The bright red 2014 Corvette C7 appeared on the field at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans after the game, and while many sports fans overlooked the new Chevrolet sports car, it caught the eye of many auto enthusiasts who were at the big game. And Flacco is about to receive a lot more than the new Corvette after taking home the world title and MVP honors. <br /><br />The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is the most powerful standard model ever with an estimated 450 horsepower (335 kW and 450 lb.-ft. of torque (610 Nm). It is also the most capable standard model ever - able to accelerate from 0-60 in less than four seconds and achieve more than 1g in cornering grip.<br /><br />Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco will receive his 2014 Corvette Stingray once production starts. Of course, his will be the second unit, with the first promised to Rick Hendrick, the current owner of the American NASCAR team Hendrick Motorsports, who paid $1.1 million for the privilege at a Barrett Jackson auction recently.<br /><br /><br /><center><a alt="Joe Flacco Named Super Bowl MVP and Wins a 2014 Corvette Stingray" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicfYv1V5yJwP2gNY1sYMbZKTgOpfD97URB9ICLiI1zL1SAIGafG5oVgSbA68O4APMuVSP-w9egQSCTt_QS0FqjgjKFX0O6o8NFnoO6hSwWTesolQyWQT62vKW6De-xV29fEMPvvB2glsmB/s1600/superbowlflaccomvpcorvette01-medium.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="80" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicfYv1V5yJwP2gNY1sYMbZKTgOpfD97URB9ICLiI1zL1SAIGafG5oVgSbA68O4APMuVSP-w9egQSCTt_QS0FqjgjKFX0O6o8NFnoO6hSwWTesolQyWQT62vKW6De-xV29fEMPvvB2glsmB/s200/superbowlflaccomvpcorvette01-medium.jpg" width="130" /></a> <a alt="Joe Flacco Named Super Bowl MVP and Wins a 2014 Corvette Stingray" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfz6UditZVhKjDY1JUmfcM1-IeY7TNq0tLu00zGrf0zJMGL7WFhjY4BqdgyWvQ5K9rPNBtjlsFReXMYCA0kdkqz7RuSF7fzNU_c4b5BDnw3yQO5VyHFRkxzawcif9ePde1d0ukeZyAUwH/s1600/superbowlflaccomvpcorvette03-medium.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="80" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfz6UditZVhKjDY1JUmfcM1-IeY7TNq0tLu00zGrf0zJMGL7WFhjY4BqdgyWvQ5K9rPNBtjlsFReXMYCA0kdkqz7RuSF7fzNU_c4b5BDnw3yQO5VyHFRkxzawcif9ePde1d0ukeZyAUwH/s200/superbowlflaccomvpcorvette03-medium.jpg" width="130" /></a></center><br /><br /><b>Press Release</b><br /><b><br /></b> <b><i>Super Bowl XLVII MVP Takes Home Chevrolet Corvette Stingray</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Presented by local Chevrolet dealer who rebounded after Hurricane Katrina</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>NEW ORLEANS – The honor of awarding the Super Bowl XLVII MVP Award was given to Rick Flick of New Orleans’ Banner Chevrolet, who knows a thing or two about comebacks. Banner Chevrolet, a part of Flick’s family for 40 years, was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina and was the first business to reopen in New Orleans East after the devastating 2005 storm. On behalf of Chevrolet, the official sponsor of the Super Bowl XLVII MVP Award, Flick presented quarterback Joe Flacco with a 2014 Corvette Stingray on Monday in recognition of his effort in leading the Baltimore Ravens’ to a 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Banner Chevrolet and the entire city of New Orleans have been through so much since the storm, we felt this was a small gesture to bring the comeback story full circle,” said Alan Batey, GM vice president of U.S. Sales, Service and Marketing. “With the Super Bowl in his backyard, we couldn’t think of a better guy to have the honor of awarding the MVP with his Corvette Stingray.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Banner Chevrolet was of the largest losses ever recorded for a dealership in the United States and recently completed a massive multimillion-dollar renovation with state-of-the-art technology. Banner is the only Chevrolet dealer in Orleans Parrish.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“We lost our entire inventory of 650 new Chevrolets and 120 pre-owned vehicles during Katrina,” Flick said. “I’m happy we are still a vital part of this community today and I can be here to represent the people of Chevrolet and its dealerships as we celebrate the Super Bowl MVP.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The Super Bowl MVP receives the Pete Rozelle Trophy, a silver trophy made by Tiffany & Co., and the Corvette Stingray.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The 2014 Corvette Stingray is the most powerful standard model ever, with an estimated 450 horsepower (335 kW) and 450 lb.-ft. of torque (610 Nm). It is also the most capable standard model ever, able to accelerate from 0-60 in less than four seconds and achieve more than 1g in cornering grip. It is expected to be the most fuel-efficient Corvette, exceeding the EPA-estimated 26 mpg of the current model.</i><br /></span><p>

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra【Video】

In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.<br /><br />Indoors, both trucks now boast completely new interiors with a focus on soft-touch materials. Drivers are now met with a gauge cluster that features a 4.2-inch color information display, and the new trucks can be had with up to five USB ports, four 12-volt outlets and one SD card slot. The option sheet also features the IntelliLink connectivity system, displayed through a high-definition eight-inch color touchscreen interface.<br /><br />The new Silverado has a more masculine and muscular exterior, with a higher hood and new headlamps. <br /><br />As for the GMC Sierra, it will come with a new generation of its own connectivity system known as IntelliLink. Being the first full-size pickup to feature standard projector-beam headlights, the Sierra will also boast a signature LED light pattern that helps accent the headlights, with discreet LED accent lighting helping set a mood with a red glow along the dash and doors. <br /><br /><br /><center><a alt="Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Pickups"

New from hood to hitch, Silverado is engineered to be the strongest, smartest, and most capable Silverado ever.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The new Silverado builds on Chevrolet’s 95 years of truck heritage, while raising the bar for full-size pickups. Among the many updates for 2014 are a new trio of powerful, efficient EcoTec3 engines; a stronger, quieter, more comfortable cab; revised steering, suspension and brakes; ingenious solutions for managing cargo in the bed and true truck capability for towing and hauling.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Our customers rely on their trucks to meet the day-to-day challenges of earning a living, running a business and taking care of their families,” said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America. “Chevrolet is committed to giving truck customers the most-refined, best-engineered pickups in the market.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The 2014 Silverado will become part of Chevrolet’s three-truck portfolio, designed to let customers select the right truck for their needs. It joins the Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD pickups, the ultimate tools for towing and hauling, which were new for the 2011 model year. Chevrolet is also developing an all-new Colorado midsize pickup, which will offer proven truck capability in a space- and fuel-efficient package.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Every detail of the 2014 Silverado 1500 was designed and engineered to meet the exacting requirements of full-size truck customers and to strengthen Chevrolet’s reputation for building the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size trucks – trucks with the lowest overall cost of ownership.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Don’t let the work boots fool you. Truck customers are among the most discerning and demanding in the business,” said Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for full-size and midsize trucks.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“The designers and engineers who created the new Silverado share this passion for trucks. They have built this truck – and tested it to the extremes – to give customers the right tools for the tough jobs, and they have created dozens of solutions to the challenges truck customers encounter every day.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>2014 Silverado 1500 at a glance</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>For 2014, Silverado 1500 is designed and engineered to deliver the capability – without compromise – that customers have come to expect from Chevrolet pickups.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Silverado’s exterior design blends strong Chevy truck heritage with a refined, modern aesthetic. The new design is more muscular, more functional and more aerodynamic. A twin-port grille, full-width bumper and dual power dome hood create a strong presence, which is carried through in sculpted body sides and fender flares.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The new Silverado design is about much more than just looks, however. The new front end is engineered to improve sealing for more efficient cooling, while the roof and tailgate spoiler were shaped in the wind tunnel to smooth airflow over the truck for reduced drag. New inlaid doors, which fit into recesses in the bodyside, reduce wind noise for a quieter cab.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Under the hood, the 2014 Silverado 1500 features a family of three all-new EcoTec3 engines, a V-6 and two V-8s, engineered specifically for use in full-size trucks. All three engines incorporate direct fuel injection, cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing, a combination of advanced technologies not found in other competitors’ trucks. All three switch seamlessly to four-cylinder operation to improve efficiency during light load driving and all three are engineered provide more power, more torque and better efficiency than the previous versions.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The engine family includes a new 4.3L V-6 that will have ample torque to power a crew cab pickup and tow a substantial trailer, as well as a new 5.3L V-8 designed for more power, more torque and better efficiency than the current version, which is currently the V-8 fuel economy leader. A new 6.2L V-8 is engineered to be the most capable engine in any light-duty pickup.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>SAE certified horsepower and torque ratings and EPA fuel economy estimates for the new Silverado will be final and available beginning early next year.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The all-new interiors of the 2014 Silverado 1500 reflect the same focus on form and function. The upright instrument panel, six-gauge instrument cluster and multiple storage options are tailored specifically to the needs of truck customers. Controls are functional, logically placed and easy to operate with work gloves on. Rear doors on crew cabs are larger, for easier entry and exit, and rear doors on extended cab models are now hinged at the front for easier access, especially in tight spots.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The new Chevrolet MyLink provides easy-to-use connectivity for the job site or the family vacation, with natural voice recognition and enough ports and power outlets to support multiple devices.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The new truck cab is stronger, with nearly two-thirds of the structure made from high-strength steel for a confident feel and improved safety. Similarly, the main rails and key cross members of the updated frame are high-strength steel with major elements hydroformed for reduced mass and improved strength.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>New shear-style body mounts tune out both up-and-down and side-to-side movement for a quieter, more comfortable ride. Extended- and crew-cab models have a third set of hydraulic body mounts to further isolate the cabs. Combined with numerous other acoustic and NVH (noise vibration and harshness) enhancements, the intended result is a solid, refined feel with no loss in traditional truck capability.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The pickup box also benefits from this focus on providing Silverado customers with the right tools for the job. The box is made from roll-formed steel for increased strength and reduced mass, compared with the stamped beds used by major competitors, and it features a range of smart solutions for everyday life.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>ilverado’s CornerStep bumper, combined with handholds built into the new box rail protectors, makes it easier to access the box. The bed is also available with new upper tie-down hooks, under-rail light-emitting diode lighting, and an EZ Lift and Lower tailgate.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>For the first time, Silverado 1500 crew cabs will be available with a longer 6’6” foot box, in addition to the previous 5’8” box, enabling customers to carry more cargo while still being able to park in many garages.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The chassis of the 2014 Silverado includes a number of customer-focused updates. A revised front and rear suspension and wider wheels provide a more comfortable ride and more confident handling. Electric power steering improves steering feel and reduces fuel consumption. New four-wheel-disc brakes with Duralife ™ rotors improve brake feel and extend rotor life.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Silverado will be available with segment-exclusive safety features such as Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning with an Active Safety Seat, and Front and Rear Park Assist. StabiliTrak with Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist are standard on all Silverados.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“We have made significant upgrades in the key areas of the new Silverado, and improved almost every detail of the truck,” said Luke. “We think both Chevrolet loyalists and competitive shoppers are going to find a lot to love about the new Silverado, beginning with the very first time they sit behind the wheel.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>Engineered and validated for demanding customers</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Truck customers are among the most discerning and demanding in the business. They know trucks inside out – many have owned trucks for decades. They work their trucks hard, under conditions that would shock many car owners. They have tough tasks to do, and they expect their trucks to do them, without complaint. And they expect their trucks to endure – the average age of a full-size pickup is now more than 10.4 years.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The team that designed the new Silverado went to extremes to design a new truck that would exceed the demands of these customers.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>For example, GM’s new full-size trucks will undergo more than 6 million miles of durability testing in the torture chambers at the Milford Proving Ground, over the deserts and mountains of Nevada and across the frozen flats of Kapuskasing, Ontario. That’s equivalent to 240 trips around the earth. In addition, the trucks will accumulate more than 7 million real-world miles during final testing, bringing total test miles to more than 13 million.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The increased power, torque and efficiency of the new EcoTec3 engine family resulted from an unprecedented level of computer analysis, including extensive computational flow dynamics, to optimize the burning of air and fuel in the cylinders. More than 10 million of hours of computational analysis went into the engine program. More than 6 million hours – about 685 years’ worth – of analysis went into the advanced combustion system alone.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Even the basics, like the new inlaid doors, were tested to the extreme, with the doors undergoing nearly 150 truck lives’ worth of testing.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The 2014 Silverado 1500 crew cab will start production in the second quarter of 2013, with other cab styles following later in the year.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Pricing will be announced closer to start of sale.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>2014 Sierra Brings Bold Refinement to Full-size Trucks</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Next-generation pickups feature advanced powertrains, design and technology</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>DETROIT – The all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 full-size pickup is the most powerful, most advanced and most refined truck in the brand’s 110-year history. Sierra’s bold new exterior houses one of three all-new EcoTec3 engines, a fully updated cabin with available next-generation IntelliLink connectivity and other features designed for the most discerning truck owners.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Our engineers and designers left nothing on the table when developing this latest Sierra pickup,” said Tony DiSalle, vice president of GMC Marketing. “These trucks have all the power and capability that’s expected in today’s market, excellent fuel efficiency, plus a lot of unexpected, purposeful features developed with truck owners in mind.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>In addition to all-new design and technology, the 2014 Sierra boasts the longest list of standard features ever for a full-size GMC pickup. From connectivity solutions, to a standard tie-down system in the rear, to the segment’s only standard projector beam headlamps, many premium features are found on each and every all-new Sierra.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>New EcoTec3 engines</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra’s engine portfolio is updated for 2014 with the goal of increased in power, torque and fuel efficiency across the board. There will be a 4.3L V-6, a 5.3L V-8 and a 6.2L V-8 offered, all from a shared EcoTec3 engine family. Each engine features standard direct injection, continuously variable valve timing and Active Fuel Management, which means they seamlessly switch to run on four cylinders during light-load driving to save fuel.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The increased power and efficiency of the new engines are the result of more than 10 million hours of sophisticated computer modeling, more than half of which were used to make the best of the combustion process.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The new 4.3L V-6 EcoTec3 engine will offer improved torque and towing capacity for the six in 10 truck owners who tow.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Rather than adapting a V-6 intended for use in passenger cars, we built a new engine from the ground up based on the unique demands of a truck,” said Jordan Lee, powertrain chief engineer. “Sierra’s 4.3L shares its basic design architecture with the latest iterations of the V-8 engines that GMC owners have trusted for generations.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Today’s Sierra offers the best V-8 fuel economy in the industry and the new 5.3L EcoTec3 engine features significant updates intended to make it even more efficient. The available 6.2L V-8 EcoTec3 is engineered to provide outstanding capability.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>SAE-certified horsepower and torque ratings and EPA fuel economy estimates for the new Sierra are not yet available, but are expected to be finalized early next year.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>With the new engine designs and additional developments, customers should expect Sierra’s second-generation Active Fuel Management to be more seamless and capable of operating longer in four-cylinder mode.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>All three engines use lightweight aluminum blocks and heads and are mated with durable six-speed automatic transmissions. A “cruise grade braking” feature down-shifts the transmission on downgrades, which is intended to reduce brake wear. V-8 models use new, larger 9.5- and 9.76-inch rear axles with the strength to accommodate the engines’ higher output. Final power and torque ratings will be announced later.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>Duralife brake rotors and electric power steering</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Strong brakes are important for stopping trucks, whether they’re full of people, payload or both. The 2014 Sierra features four-wheel disc brakes with Duralife brake rotors, which feature a hardened and strengthened surface to reduce corrosion. Duralife rotors – a GM-exclusive technology – are expected to last twice as long as conventional rotors and provide quieter braking with less vibration.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The 2014 Sierra also uses electric power steering. An electric motor in place of an engine-driven hydraulic pump saves fuel and allows for tuning that’s expected to result in a more consistent, crisp steering feel and plenty of assist for parking maneuvers.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>The new standard in truck interiors</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Premium materials, attention to detail and purposeful technology define Sierra’s all-new cabin. New soft-touch materials and available aluminum trim line an interior that’s focused on usable and productive space.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Truck owners want a well-crafted cabin, but also one that still feels like a truck,” said Helen Emsley, Sierra interior design director. “They want a purposeful interior, not one that’s flowing like you’d find in a car or crossover.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra has an upright instrument panel designed for visibility and accessibility. Knobs and buttons are large, legible and within reach. All knobs are coated using a rubber-over-mold technology, so they’re easy to grip even through gloves.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>A new instrument cluster on all models features six gauges with an available centrally located, 4.2-inch color Driver Information Center with vehicle status information, a trip computer, and other information, like radio and navigation.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>A second, high-mounted glove box with a flat floor joins the traditional box below. Each of Sierra’s doors has storage crafted to hold most beverage containers and other personal items. Along the center stack and center console are additional cupholders, discreet compartments large enough for most laptop computers, and connectivity options. Sierra is available with a 110-volt outlet, up to five USB ports, four 12-volt outlets and an SD card slot.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Sierra sets a new standard for what’s expected of a pickup truck interior,” said DiSalle. “Our customers told us how they use their trucks and we listened. The combination of comfort, safety, space and technology is unprecedented in the segment.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Available IntelliLink connectivity uses an available high-definition, fully reconfigurable eight-inch color touchscreen with an intuitive layout and easy-to-read icons that control audio features, a Pandora app, Bluetooth phone features, and available navigation with all-new map displays. Many of the system’s features can be controlled by voice command, allowing the driver to keep eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra’s seats use dual-density foam designed to stay comfortable over long hours and continue to look great after years of use. Leather and cloth will be offered, and Sierra’s new high-wear cloth is designed to last longer and resist staining. A spilled drink will bead on the fabric, not soak in. Heated seats are available with cloth seats and standard with leather.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>New door and bed configurations</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>For the first time on Extended Cab models, the 2014 Sierra has new front-hinged rear doors with outside pull handles at the rear, providing improved access in tight parking spaces. Unlike trucks with rear-hinged doors, Sierra’s layout allows rear passengers to enter and exit the vehicle with the front doors remaining closed.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Crew Cab customers, who represent more than 60 percent of retail Sierra customers, can choose between two bed lengths; in addition to the current 5-foot, 8-inch box, a new 6-foot, 6-inch box is available. Regular cabs continue to be available with the 6-foot, 6-inch or 8-foot box lengths, while the extended cab will come exclusively with a 6-foot, 6-inch box.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>Cargo box innovations</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra’s rear bumper features standard corner steps that make climbing into the bed easy, regardless of whether the tailgate is up or down. The steps are paired with grips formed into the top of each bed side. Four movable upper tie downs are also standard. They can be placed in nine different locations and can bear a 500-pound (227 kg) load. Available LED cargo lights integrated beneath the bed rails will illuminate the bed when a tonneau cover is in place. The available EZ Lift and Lower tailgate uses an integrated torsion bar and damper to ease lifting and lowering.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>Driver Alert Technology</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>A suite of active safety features will be optional for the 2014 Sierra, including Forward Collision Alert, which uses a forward-facing camera to notify the driver of an imminent collision, and Lane Departure Warning, which uses the same camera to track the truck’s position in relation to a road’s lane markers.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The camera technology was recently named a “Top Ten Tech Breakthrough of 2012” by Popular Mechanics.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Paired with Forward Collision Alert and Land Departure Warning is GMC’s first-ever Driver Alert Seat, which generates vibrating pulse patterns on the left and/or right side of the lower seat cushion bolster to alert the driver of potential dangers, such as an un-signaled lane change or approaching another vehicle too quickly. According to GM research, the seat’s vibrations may direct driver attention to the location of a potential collision more quickly and accurately than audible alerts. Drivers have the option of selecting either audible or vibrating alerts.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>Quieter, stronger, more aerodynamic</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Quietness doesn’t only come from factors within the cabin. The 2014 Sierra features new aerodynamic measures that benefit fuel efficiency and reduce wind noise. Updated mirrors that reduce wind turbulence, triple-sealed inlaid doors, as well as roof and tailgate design features all help air flow smoothly quietly over the Sierra. Additional sealing around the grille, headlights and space between the cab and box are also designed to lower drag for the new trucks, along with new aerodynamic spats located in front of the rear wheels.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Updates to Sierra’s body and chassis are designed to improve ride and handling, comfort and capability. The fully boxed frame uses high-strength steel and hydroforming to provide more strength and rigidity with less weight. New cab structures incorporate high-strength steel in the A-pillars, B-pillars, roof rails and rocker panels, while ultra-high-strength steel segments of the rocker panels provide added protection for shallow offset crashes.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra’s hood is aluminum, saving approximately 17 pounds versus a comparable steel hood. At the rear, a roll-formed box is stronger, lighter and more durable than a traditional stamped steel box.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra uses aluminum for some suspension components for additional rigidity and weight saving, and new lightweight wheels are paired with low-rolling-resistance tires in most applications. The tires, along with new shear-style and redesigned hydraulic cab mounts, are designed to help reduce noise and vibration in the cabin.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“Pickups aren’t just a tool for GMC owners – they’re part of their everyday lives, and Sierra needs to be as useful on the way to the movies as it is on the way to a job site,” said DiSalle. “The most important thing about the engineering behind this new truck is that it benefits owners in so many different ways.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>Attention to detail</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>GMC designers approached the exterior of the 2014 Sierra with respect for its predecessors, evolving its familiar shape while adding distinctive details like standard projector headlamps, available LED signature accent lighting and detailed new grilles. All Sierra models have chrome grille surrounds and premium black wheel arch moldings. Different trim levels feature chrome belt moldings, mirror caps and door handles, as well as unique wheel designs and grille details.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Other new features include available front Park Assist, in addition to the rear Park Assist already available, and a sliding rear window with a defroster.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <b><i>Distinctive All-Terrain model</i></b><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra All-Terrain has all-new styling for 2014. It includes a unique exterior appearance with a painted grille and less chrome, and is available as an extended cab or crew cab in a limited number of colors.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Standard equipment for Sierra All-Terrain includes the Z71 off-road suspension with monotube Rancho shocks, hill descent control, front recovery hooks, a transfer case shield and unique wheels and tires, along with an automatic locking rear differential that reacts in milliseconds in low-traction situations to improve safety and confidence on wet, snowy or muddy surfaces.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Sierra All Terrain is available exclusively with an ebony interior and with front bucket seats on SLE models. A carbon fiber-look seat accent is standard on SLT models.</i><br /></span><p>

February</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>LAS VEGAS – Chevrolet today opened a new chapter in its storied racing history, unveiling its eagerly anticipated 2013 NASCAR Chevrolet SS race car. Powered by the legendary small block V-8 engine, the rear-wheel drive performance sedan will be Chevrolet’s newest entry in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, beginning with the 2013 SpeedWeeks in Daytona, Fla.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The new NASCAR race car closely resembles the all-new rear wheel drive V-8 Chevrolet SS performance sedan that will debut early next year.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“As a passionate race fan, the debut of the SS NASCAR race car is a genuinely exciting moment for me,” said GM North America President Mark Reuss. “With the SS, Chevrolet is delivering a true rear-wheel-drive NASCAR race car that is very closely linked to the performance sedan that will be available for sale, ensuring that our most loyal enthusiasts will have the opportunity to experience the same thrill every day on the open road that our race car drivers enjoy on the track on race day.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“The Chevrolet SS also demonstrates how we are able to leverage our global product portfolio to deliver a unique performance experience,” Reuss said. “The specialized development and testing work done for the race car will certainly benefit the entire Chevrolet product lineup.”</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The Chevrolet SS is the next in a long line of famed nameplates that Chevrolet has campaigned in NASCAR. It replaces Impala, which scored 151 wins from 1959-64 and 2007-12.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>“We are looking forward to another exciting year of NASCAR competition and expect that the new SS race car, with some of the most skilled drivers on the circuit behind the wheel, will distinguish itself on the track,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The Chevrolet SS will be a derivative of the award-winning global rear-wheel-drive architecture that spawns performance vehicles like Chevrolet Camaro and Holden’s upcoming VF Commodore. The limited production version of the Chevrolet SS will be a 2014 model and will arrive in dealer showrooms in late 2013. It is the first time in 17 years that Chevrolet will offer a rear-wheel-drive sedan for sale in the United States.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Chevrolet has long used the SS (Super Sport) designation on high-performance models of some of its most enduring nameplates. The SS designation first appeared in 1957 on a Corvette prototype race car built under the guidance of Zora Arkus-Duntov with the plan to enter it in the Le Mans 24-hour race.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>The first production vehicle to be offered with an SS optional package was the 1961 Impala – 453 were built with the performance upgrades, which included a modified chassis and suspension, power brakes, a steering column mounted tachometer and unique wheels and tires. The SS designation returned to the Chevrolet lineup in 2010 with the debut of the fifth-generation Camaro.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Chevrolet has 702 victories in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, more than any other manufacturer. Fonty Flock earned the manufacturer’s first win on March 26, 1955, at Columbia, S.C. Five-time series champion Jimmie Johnson achieved Chevrolet’s 700th victory earlier this month at Texas Motor Speedway.</i><br /><i><br /></i> <i>Chevrolet was America’s best-selling performance car brand in 2011 with Camaro and Corvette accounting for one out of every three sports cars sold in the United States. The addition of the SS to the lineup is expected to further strengthen Chevrolet’s position as a leading performance brand.</i><br /></span><p>

In addition to this equipment, the convertible model receives chassis bracing components like an underhood strut tower brace, front suspension “X” brace, and rear “V” braces to stiffen the drop-top version.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br />The ZL1 convertible is meant to be more of a cruiser and less of a hard-core track car than the coupe, so instead of the 5-mode electronic stability control system in the hard top, this version gets a single "Competetive" mode. (Chevy also expects a higher take rate on automatics -- a whopping 70% of ZL1 coupes have manual transmissions, but Chevy expects a 50/50 split for the convertible.) They've also made a few interior improvements, including a stereo with touch-pads in place of buttons (like the ATS, but better) and a slick new frameless rear-view mirror. But most important part -- the lusty and loud 580 hp supercharged V8 -- remains the same, as does the car's overall attitude.<br /><br />the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible has a starting price of 60,445 USD over-seas, while the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 1LE will set you back for 37,035, with both prices including the $900 destination charge.<br /><br /><br /></span><br /><center><span

Motivated by the supercharged LSA small-block V-8 producing 580 horsepower (432 kW), it is the fastest, most capable Camaro ever, with performance credentials that include:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>0-60 mph in four seconds</i><br /><i>Top speed of 184 mph</i><br /><i>11-second quarter-mile ETs (11.93 with the automatic / 11.96 with the manual transmission)</i><br /><i>Lapped the Nürburgring in 7:41.27.</i><br /><i>Few production cars can match the ZL1's performance, and all of its high-velocity achievements were conducted with a stock test vehicle wearing all the street-legal, factory-issued components - and no time-consuming equipment adjustments at the racetrack.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>More than just power and raw numbers, the ZL1 features technologically advanced and highly developed chassis and suspension systems. They help it deliver balanced, track-ready handling and braking power to complement its high engine output, and include third-generation Magnetic Ride Control.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>"The ZL1 is great at everything and we're very proud of that," said Tony Roma, Camaro ZL1 program engineering manager. "You can take it to the drag strip and run 11-second quarter-miles all day long. You can also take it to a road course, where it's balanced, handles well, and does exactly what you want - including lapping Virginia International Raceway's Grand Course in under three minutes - and yet the ZL1 is sophisticated enough to use as a daily driver. It's a supercar you can drive every day."</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>The ZL1 name is derived from the all-aluminum racing engine of the same name, which was developed in the late 1960s and installed into a handful of regular-production 1969 Camaros. Only 69 were built with the engine, but they've achieved mythical status among enthusiasts, as they represented the pinnacle in Camaro performance - until the new ZL1 was introduced.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>For 2013, the ZL1 rushes into its second year with the addition of an all-new convertible model, as well as a new color touch radio with Chevrolet MyLink - including available navigation - a frameless inside rearview mirror and a new exterior color: Blue Ray Metallic.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Camaro ZL1 convertible details</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Like the coupe, the Camaro ZL1 convertible powered by the 580-hp/432-kW LSA engine, as well as the same advanced powertrain and chassis technologies. And because the architecture for the fifth-generation Camaro was designed to accommodate a convertible model, it gives the ZL1 convertible coupe-like driving dynamics. Four strategic reinforcements enhance the already-stiff body structure to quell the cowl and steering wheel shake common in convertibles. They include:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>A tower-to-tower brace under the hood</i><br /><i>A transmission support reinforcement brace</i><br /><i>Underbody tunnel brace</i><br /><i>Front "X" brace and stiffer cradle as well as rear underbody "V" braces.</i><br /><i>Additional structural reinforcements in the ZL1 convertible are designed to improve noise and vibration characteristics, while also reducing unwanted ride and body motions. They include a hydroformed tube in the A-pillars, an inner reinforcement bracket in the windshield header, a reinforced front hinge pillar and reinforcements inside the rockers.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>The bottom line is a convertible designed to preserve nearly all the acceleration, road-holding and performance capabilities of the Camaro ZL1 coupe.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>MyLink details</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Camaro ZL1 includes new Chevrolet MyLink, which seamlessly integrates online services such as Pandora® internet radio and Stitcher SmartRadio® using hands-free voice and touch-screen controls via Bluetooth-enabled phones. MyLink adds stereo audio streaming and wireless control of smartphones, building on the voice-activated Bluetooth hands-free calling capability already offered in most Chevy vehicles.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>MyLink features a high-resolution, full-color touch screen display designed to manage the number of steps required to complete a task. It also retains all the capabilities of conventional entertainment features, including AM/FM/Sirius XM tuners, CD player with MP3 playback, auxiliary and USB inputs.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Camaro ZL1's downforce-optimized design</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Most production cars are designed with some lift at speed slip through the air for improved fuel economy - but to maintain stability and steering response at the speed the Camaro ZL1 is capable of achieving, it features an aerodynamic design that generates downforce to press the tires against the track.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>The aerodynamics helped refine the exterior design to generate downforce for improved handing at speed while minimizing the amount of increased drag that could reduce fuel economy and the vehicle's top speed. With the computer-assisted design recommendations, full-scale clay models and full-size prototypes were tested in the General Motors' wind tunnel.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Outside of the aerodynamics laboratory, engineers tested the ZL1's aero aids on GM's Milford Road Course, other race tracks and the unique "rolling road" wind tunnel at the Auto Research Center in Indianapolis. When the dust settled and the wind-tunnel blades came to a stop, the Camaro ZL1 produced 65 pounds of downforce at an equivalent 150 mph (241 km/h) - compared to 200 pounds of lift in a Camaro SS - which was offset by an increase of only 40 counts of additional aerodynamic drag.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Seven elements contribute to the downforce of the ZL1:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>1. Front fascia - The front fascia channels air for engine and brake cooling. The corners of the front fascia were shaped to minimize lift, while brake-cooling ducts in the outer corners of the lower grille opening provide a direct, high-flow path to the brake rotors.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>2. Hood - The ZL1's hood has a vented, carbon fiber insert, contributing to both engine cooling and aerodynamic downforce. The specially shaped vents draw air up through the engine bay - allowing a significant volume of air flow while keeping the front tires firmly connected to the pavement.</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>3. Front splitter - Instead of a traditional front air dam, the ZL1 incorporates a racing-style splitter to help create downforce.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>4. Front tire deflectors - The deflectors push airflow around the rotating wheels and tires more efficiently, reducing lift and drag.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>5. Belly pans - The ZL1 has two of them: one beneath the engine cradle and one at the rear of the engine assembly, just in front of the transmission. They minimize airflow turbulence under the car. NACA-style ducts are incorporated into the rear belly pan for transmission cooling.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>6. Rocker panels - Although subtle in appearance, the carefully shaped rocker panels help reduce lift and drag, while also contributing to stability during high cross winds. They also provide stone protection with the ZL1's wider tires.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>7. Rear spoiler - The ZL1's rear spoiler, which contributes approximately 150 pounds of down force at the cost of only one count of drag. It is taller and wider than the Camaro SS spoiler and incorporates the center high-mounted stop lamp.</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>In addition to the functional design elements, the Camaro ZL1 offers several aesthetic options, including a bright-finish wheel package, exposed-weaver carbon fiber hood insert and a stripe package.</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>Exterior colors include Summit White, Black, Crystal Red Tintcoat, Victory Red, Rally Yellow, Inferno Orange Metallic, Ashen Grey Metallic and Blue Ray Metallic. The convertible top color choices include black or beige.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Supercharged LSA powertrain</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Supporting the dynamic track and street performance of the ZL1 is the LSA 6.2L supercharged engine, which is rated at 580 horsepower (432kW) and 556 lb.-ft. of torque (754 Nm), with specific features for the Camaro.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>The all-aluminum engine is part of GM's legendary small-block engine family. For a solid foundation, the engine's bottom end uses six-bolt main bearing caps that clamp and lock in the forged steel crankshaft to a deep-skirt cylinder block. Additional features include:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Balanced, lightweight reciprocating assembly</i><br /><i>High-strength hypereutectic pistons</i><br /><i>Sixth-generation Eaton supercharger with four-lobe rotors</i><br /><i>Piston oil squirters.</i><br /><i>A 1.9L Roots-style blower uses an efficient four-lobe rotor set and compact intercooler to deliver boosted air into the high-flow cylinder heads. The engine also draws its breath through a unique induction system, with a low-restriction air filter, dual inlet paths and enhanced airflow through the supercharger housing.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Because the Camaro ZL1 uses electric power steering, the engine does not incorporate a conventional hydraulic power steering pump on its accessory drive system. This enhances performance, because no engine power is used to turn a steering pump pulley.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>The ZL1 is offered with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. The Tremec TR6060 "MG9" manual features 30 percent more torque capacity than in the Camaro SS. The higher torque capacity results from a strengthened output shaft, high-strength rear housing, and additional roller bearing. The MG9 has also been tuned for improved shift feel, with a dual-mass flywheel, twin-disc clutch, and triple synchros for smooth, precise shifts.</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>Similarly, the Hydra-Matic 6L90 automatic has been strengthened to handle the torque and horsepower produced by the 6.2L supercharged small-block. It features a strengthened input gearset with two additional pinion gears, additional clutch plate, and a strengthened output shaft and gearset. To make the ZL1 perform equally well on street and track, the 6L90 features three distinct drive modes:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Drive: The shift pattern is calibrated for optimal fuel economy, including second-gear starts, while the shift feel is tuned for a smooth driving experience. Engaging the tap-shift feature on the steering wheel or shift lever engages temporary manual mode.</i><br /><i>Sport: The shift pattern is calibrated for more aggressing driving, including first-gear starts for maximum performance. The shift feel is also more aggressive, with a performance algorithm that holds the transmission in lower gears during aggressive driving.</i><br /><i>Manual: Here, the 6L90 offers the driver true manual control, with no automatic up shifts, and staged upshifts for incredibly fast shifts and maximum performance.</i><br /><i>Track-ready features of the ZL1's powertrain include:</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>An engine-oil cooler, identical to the system on the Corvette ZR1. The integral liquid-to-liquid system is so effective that both the manual and automatic transmissions are deemed to be fully track-capable with the standard factory-installed cooling package.</i><br /><i>A high-performance fuel system delivers fuel to the LSA engine under any performance driving condition. For example, the system features additional fuel pickups on the primary side, and the secondary fuel pickup is moved outboard for continuous fuel access during high-g cornering under low fuel conditions.</i><br /><i>The Camaro ZL1 is also equipped with a dual-mode exhaust system, which alters the sound level and character in response to engine rpm and throttle position.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Chassis and drivetrain details</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>The drivetrain is unique to the Camaro ZL1 and is composed of a stronger driveshaft and rear axle system, featuring a larger, stronger 9.9-inch cast iron differential housing, stronger axles and heavy-duty limited-slip differential. This patent-pending system is designed to ensure that ZL1's tremendous power is delivered smoothly to the ground. A rear-differential cooler reduces temperatures in the differential by more than 100 F.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Asymmetrical half-shafts - a 60mm hollow shaft on the right and a 33mm solid shaft on the left - offer different torsional stiffness rates, which work with the limited-slip differential to minimize the chance of wheel hop on hard launches. Also, the rear stabilizer bar has drop links positioned outboard of the control arms, for more effective body roll control in turns, with crisp response to driver commands.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Camaro ZL1 features an advanced track-capable braking system, developed in conjunction with Brembo. Large 14.6-inch (370 mm) two-piece front rotors have six-piston calipers; the 14.4-inch (365 mm) rear rotors have four-piston calipers.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>ZL1-specific 20-inch forged aluminum wheels, which are lighter than the 20-inch wheels used on the Camaro SS, are used with new Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2 tires developed specifically for the ZL1.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Performance Traction Management and Magnetic Ride Control</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Performance Traction Management (PTM) is standard on the Camaro ZL1 coupe. It integrates the exclusive third-generation magnetic ride control - with driver-selectable Tour and Sport modes - launch control, traction control, electronic stability control and electric power steering response to enhance performance.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>With PTM, the launch control feature (manual transmission only) automatically modulates engine torque for the best-possible acceleration without excessive wheel spin. When the driver pushes the throttle to the floor, the system holds a predetermined engine speed until the driver releases the clutch. Then, the system modulates engine torque 1,000 times per second to maximize the available traction. Similarly, on a road course, the driver can apply full throttle when exiting a corner and Performance Traction Management will automatically manage acceleration dynamics to maximize exit speed based on available traction.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Five PTM performance levels or modes are available to accommodate the given ambient and track conditions, driver experience/vehicle familiarity and driver comfort levels. They include:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Mode 1 - Traction control set for wet conditions, with stability control on and Magnetic Ride Control set on Tour.</i><br /><i>Mode 2 - Traction control set for dry conditions, with stability control on and Magnetic Ride Control set on Tour.</i><br /><i>Mode 3 - Traction control set on Sport 1, with stability control on and Magnetic Ride Control set on Sport.</i><br /><i>Mode 4 - Traction control set on Sport 2, with stability control off and Magnetic Ride Control set on Sport.</i><br /><i>Mode 5 - Traction control set on Race, with stability control off and Magnetic Ride Control set on Track. Launch control tuned for VHT-prepped drag strips.</i><br /><i>Interior features</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>ZL1 is tailored for high-performance driving and is offered solely with a black interior. Heated leather seats with microfiber inserts and ZL1 logos embroidered on the front head restraints are comfortable and deliver the support required in high-load turns on a racetrack. Microfiber suede is repeated as an accent on the instrument panel, adding a richer look to the interior.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Additional interior features include a thick, flat-bottom steering wheel, alloy pedals, head-up display with unique performance readouts, a "four-pack" auxiliary gauge system featuring a boost readout, as well as:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Unique instrument panel and door panel inserts; and ZL1-logo sill plates</i><br /><i>Short-throw shifter</i><br /><i>Steering wheel audio controls with Bluetooth capability</i><br /><i>Rear parking assist</i><br /><i>Rear camera system (displayed in the inside rearview mirror)</i><br /><i>Remote vehicle starter (available with automatic transmission).</i><br /><i>A suede package, including suede microfiber accents on the steering wheel, shift knob and shift boot, is available, along with a power sunroof.</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>Safety and crash-avoidance features</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>The Camaro ZL1 is designed to help drivers avoid crashes, while protecting occupants in the event a crash occurs. A strong body structure is designed to absorb crash energy and provide a protective "safety cage" around occupants. In fact, the 2012 Camaro was the first passenger car to receive NHTSA's revised quadruple 5-star safety rating.</i><i><br /></i><br /><i>Additional features include:</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Six standard air bags include side curtain air bags, which provide head protection for outboard passengers in the event of a side-impact or rollover crash</i><br /><i>Rear Vision Package includes a rearview camera system to complement the rear park assist feature</i><br /><i>StabiliTrak electronic stability control system helps reduce the risk of rollover crashes by keeping the vehicle in the driver's intended path by applying throttle, braking or a combination of both</i><br /><i>Standard four-wheel disc brake system featuring smooth, quiet operation, longer pad life and more resistance to brake pulsation</i><br /><i>Pretensioners minimize forward movement during a collision, and are standard on the front safety belts. Load-limiting retractors cinch the belt more tightly</i><br /><i>Standard tire pressure monitoring system</i><br /><i>Standard remote keyless entry (RKE) system provides a second function for the red panic button. Drivers can use it to locate their cars without sounding the panic alarm.</i><br /><i>Camaro ZL1 and OnStar</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Six months of OnStar Directions and Connections service is standard on Camaro ZL1. OnStar is the global leading provider of connected safety, security and mobility solutions and advanced information technology.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>OnStar's RemoteLink Mobile App allows smartphone users to control vehicle functions, access vehicle information and send directions directly to the vehicle. A new, opt-in service called FamilyLink allows subscribers to stay connected to loved ones by checking the location of their vehicle online or by signing up for vehicle location alerts.</i><br /><i> </i><br /><i>Camaro ZL1 also features new OnStar button icons. Drivers will notice an updated look for the Hands-Free Calling button, blue OnStar button and red Emergency button.</i><br /></span>

Included on this concept is the new Ashen Gray exterior paint (available on all 2012 Camaro models).<br /><br /><b>Vehicle highlights:</b><br /><br />Chevrolet Accessories exposed-weave carbon fiber "Mohawk" hood insert<br />Carbon fiber rear spoiler with stainless-steel wicker bill<br />Carbon fiber inserts on the interior door and instrument panel<br />Lightweight 20x10-inch (front) and 20x11-inch (rear) wheels in satin black with machined faces<br />Brembo® six-piston front calipers, with two-piece front rotors, and four-piston rear calipers (Chevrolet Official Licensed Product)<br />Magnetic Ride Control<br />Dual exhaust outlets with active exhaust and diffuser<br />Jet Black leather interior with sueded microfiber seat inserts and Torch Red stitching<br />ZL1 short-throw shifter with suede and carbon fiber-trimmed shift knob<br />Suede-trimmed flat-bottom steering wheel<br />ZL1 pedals<br />"This concept's dramatic appearance matches the extreme performance capabilities of the Camaro ZL1," said Tony Roma, program engineering manager for the Camaro ZL1.
