Corvette C1 - A True Dreamcar

Jessica Whittaker asked:


The Corvette was released in New York in the year 1953 and was designed by Harley J.Earl. The first model was manufactured by GM and was a convertible with two seats. This exciting model was aimed at capturing the huge small car market from the likes of MG and Jaguar. A lot of models of the corvette line which were made by hand were released in the year 1953. Attractive interiors in polo white and red with a canvas top in black were some of the features unique to this range.

Engine used was the six-cylinder 235 cubic inch model, which was slightly modified to accommodate dual exhaust and a three-carburetor design. This variation made sure the engine was very powerful. The two speed gearbox was automatic.

A lot of trail and errors followed and Chevrolet emerged with its Corvette C1 in the year 1955. The V8 block engine first featured in this wonderful car. With dimensions of 265 cubic inches, this engine came with a horsepower of 195. The front fender’s “V” was fine tuned in this model. This year saw Chevrolet establishing its model firmly in the American market with its superb performance.

Chevrolet C1 featured an outer body, which was stunning and attractive. The chrome teeth in the front looked flashy. Trunk area was curved and flanks were scalloped. A frame divided the seats. Bucket seats featured in one of the most awesome and luxurious interior. There was a cockpit like feeling inside the vehicle, which also came with the option of a removable hard top.

The year 1956 saw GM racing the Corvette C1, which now featured an engine of 210 horsepower. This engine also featured a three-speed transmission, which was manual.

Features of the Corvette C1 included a revolutionary material known as the fiberglass. This was a composite material used as a replacement for steel, which was in shortage due to the Korean War. Components of the vehicle were standard which includes the powerglide automatic transmission. Blue Flame was the six cylinder engine which was used in the standard line of Chevy cars.

In spite of all these features, the performance was not up to expectations as compared to the Italian and British sports cars of that period. The Corvette C1 in fact was almost shelved but for the fact that it received a revamp with Chevrolets introduction of the revolutionary V8 engine in the year 1955 which set it back on track.

Moreover, this period saw the Soviet émigré Zora Arkus-Duntov from the engineering department of Chevrolet adding spark to the Corvette C1 V8 engine by incorporating a three speed manual transmission to enhance performance and helping the vehicle regain its reputation. This is the reason Arkus is considered to be the father of the corvette.

Corvette C1 thus went through various trials and modifications from the years ranging from 1953 to 1962 to finally emerge as a successful and performing racing model of that period. Chevrolet continues to go strong with its racing model cars thrilling driving enthusiasts all over the world.

Obinna Heche asked:


Any numbers of websites boldly claim that with the help of online ad options for your business you will be virtually swimming in cold, hard cash overnight. Wish that it were so. The truth of the matter is the fact that making internet advertising work for you takes time, patience and the placement of ads in the strategic places at the right time. Blindly posting links, ad banners and advertisements in the hope that someone will see them and be interested in your business is like going crossbow hunting in the middle of the night and shooting out an arrow in the hopes of bagging a deer. The odds are against you from the beginning and do not improve significantly the more often you try.

By and large, there are some tried and true online ad options for your business that have been known to show success. First and foremost of course are the online auction sites. You may not have thought of advertising your business in such a manner but when you remember just how many different people converge each and every day on these sites, you will be able to reach quite possibly the broadest cross section of society. All age groups, both genders, nationalities from across the globe, all socio economic classes and perhaps most importantly folks with a host of different interests.

The latter is the most valuable piece of information, since an ad placed in a Corvette racing magazine will most likely not reach the bicycle aficionado. Conversely, an ad placed in the home and garden section of a local newspaper will never meet the eyes of a die hard gambler. On the biggest auction sites you have a chance to meet them all. Search engines are another great way of displaying your online ad. As online ad options for your business are concerned, this mode of advertisement may be a bit expensive but there is something to be said for popping up when a potential customer enters terms that match your business. Granted, it is still a hit or miss proposition but one that will pay off nicely if you give it some time.

One of the most overlooked online ad options for your business is the online edition of your local and national papers and magazines. With more and more news junkies logging on to the net for their daily information and news, the print papers are loosing readers. Thus, print ads are slowly going by the wayside, giving up room for the online ads. Costs vary from publication to publication but generally speaking they are well worth every penny.

A somewhat overused way of placing online ads for a business is the use of affiliate marketing. In some cases this is the best way to go, but usually folks will not click on a banner and net you a sale. Instead, they may actually become annoyed by the presence of your ads, especially when some rather inventive affiliate marketers install them into popup windows. If you do want to check out online ad options for your business with affiliate marketers, keep close control over who will be approved for the ads and who will not be approved as an affiliate. Insure that rules and procedures are in place so that your ads will be displayed as they are intended and not made part of pop ups or spam.

If i get paid $1700 biweekly is this enough i will be 21 so the cost of high insurance has to be factored in. If it isn’t a prudent decision what about a normal corvette not z06?

Porsche Bags 4th Straight Wins

Filed Under corvette | Comments Off

Rain Stockton asked:


As Penske drivers Ryan Briscoe and Sascha Maassen claimed the manufacturer’s fourth-straight overall win, both being second in a row, in a thrill-a-minute race around Lime Rock Park’s cramped confines, Porsche maintained its winning round in the American Le Mans Series.

With the late introduced 2007-spec LMP2 air restrictors, Porsche’s RS Spyder lost 5 percent of its engine power for this race. Nonetheless, it was still the car to have around the 1.54-mile Connecticut venue. The LMP1 Audi R10s, which was much heavier, weren’t at home on the narrow and bouncy circuit. Moreover, Porsche appeared to extend its advantage over its Acura LMP2 rivals.

The second Penske Porsche mainly led the two-hour, 45-minute race. Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard led the first two hours. But the latter was caught behind two slower cars.

After both cars went off track, the Audis ended up nowhere. Allan McNish spun twice avoiding a slower prototype. As a result, he ended up fifth overall along with co-driver Rinaldo Capello. Marco Werner crashed the other R10 massively.

Ahead of Chevrolet Corvette teammates Johnny O’Connell and Jan Magnussen, Olivier Beretta and Oliver Gavin won GT1. Their winning was essentially decided when Beretta ended up 0.01 second quicker in free practice, given that overtaking between the two cars was banned, before rain that canceled qualifying.

Porsche got its first ALMS GT2 victory of the season over Ferrari. The three F430 GTs of the race came together in one incident, thus allowing the Flying Lizard Porsche of Jorg Bergmeister and Johannes van Overbeek to win the class.

Porsche is not only dedicated to building ordinary cars or Porsche 911 parts. It also indulges in racing activities.

The American Le Mans Series (ALMS) gave all drivers and teams since 1999 the probability to compete for a whole racing season with the legendary 24-hour race of Le Mans. The ALMS regulations, which are issued by IMSA (International Motor Sports Association), are based on the long-distance classic. These are the two prototypes and two GT classes drive at the same time in a single race; meaning, the spectators watch four races in one. Year after year the ALMS satisfy its fans with enthusiasm due to the presence of many notable manufacturers and prominent drivers at this very open and attractive race series. One of the many manufacturers is Porsche.

Porsche got a double champion in the 2006 season. It succeeded as the first manufacturer to win the championship title in two different classes. Sascha Maassen and Lucas Luhr won the manufacturer’s class, while team (Penske Motorsports) and driver titles were won in the LMP2 class. In, Jörg Bergmeister won the manufacturer’s and driver titles in the 911 GT3 RSR (996) in the GT2 class.

The 2007 racing calendar has been increased from ten to twelve races. Porsche will face this challenge with the advanced RS Spyder, 911 GT3 RSR (997) models and several top class teams, including Penske Racing, Dyson Racing, Flying Lizard, Tafel Racing and Rahal Letterman Racing.

Mark English asked:


Does this sound like your idea of fun? Do you believe it could never happen? There have been a lot of people that have done it and continue to do it. It doesn’t matter whether they are testing a new car, doing it for a movie, trying to outrun the cops, or because their job is to push it to the limit . No matter what they are doing, there are people out there who do crashes into things that they probably shouldn’t, and walk away. There are also crashes that no one will ever walk away from. You can find videos on all of these at the motorsport video sharing site. The people at Motorsport Mad thought that everyone should be able to see when someone turns a beautiful machine into scrap metal.

They have videos from Formula 1, Nascar, off road and police chases where some have made it and some haven’t. There are tributes to the greats and motorsport video uploads to show you what you shouldn’t do when traveling at high speeds, and comically at slow speeds. Things like you really shouldn’t dump your bike at the very beginning of a race. It makes it hard to even place when you do things like that. You can see a Corvette try to jump a wall in the first 50’ of a drag race. They have stuff that you can see on national TV and scenes that you won’t find anywhere else. There is an idiot who turns the wrong way in a well marked street race. They have a video of a stupid criminal that decides he’s going to try to outrun the cops in a late 90’s quarter ton pickup, he gets caught in guide wires for a telephone pole, spins out, the passenger jumps out of the pickup, jumps into the bed when it starts moving again, crawls into the cab while they are racing down a dirt road just to take a wrong turn, find a dead end and hit a wall. They might have had a better chance if the had made sure that the front tire had air in it.

These are all things that you can find in front of the video camera. It doesn’t matter what kind of vehicles you’re into, or what kind of crashes you like, they have something that you will like. If you would rather see races where the cars don’t crash they have those also. There is one of a racer in Ireland, who gets stuck behind a car just traveling down the road. Listening to the driver and his copilot is quite amusing. No matter what you are into, if you like engines and wheels you will find something to your liking.

Some of the video footage is hilarious, others are just plain tragic, but they all appeal to our sense of excitement and interest in watching accidents happen. It may be because are glad that the crash didn’t happen to us or a friend, or because it is simply a highly embarrassing moment for someone that just happened to get caught in the viewfinder of the video camera. Either way, the footage on this website is great for entertainment, thrills, chills and thankfulness that the driver walked away from the crash, or regret when he didn’t make it.
