Owner: Chuck Montoya 6 2016 PEOPLE’S CHOICE LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR SV ROADSTER LP750-4 The Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce is a brazen exotic car designed to take center stage. It is brash, unreserved and charismatic while also being extremely well-made and gorgeous. It will reach 60 mph from a standstill in a mere 2.7 seconds, storm the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds at 136 mph and stop from 70 mph in 147 feet. It generates 1.04 g’s around the skidpad as if it is effortless. The engine cover, wing, air intakes, door panels, rear diffuser and seat shells are all carbon fiber. For the Superveloce, the big change to the Aventador’s 6.5-liter V-12 is a freer-flowing exhaust. In combination with fresh calibrations for its variable valve timing and variable intake system, output climbs to 740 horsepower, up from the base car’s 691. Peak power is achieved 100 rpm below redline at a shrill 8400 revs. Torque remains 509 pound-feet at 5500 rpm.

  • August 2016 Volume 3 Issue 8
    August 2016 Volume 3 Issue 8 Editorial Comments: With summer coming to an end be sure to check out the loaded fall season we have planned for the balance of 2016. There are more things to do and events than ever. Alfa Romeo Selection of the Month for August 2016. Car Name: 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Touring Spider – not your average spider! Alfa Article: The Montreal Finally gets Respect Note: Curtisey Road & Track The Alfa Romeo Montreal Is Cooler Than Most Ferraris The Montreal is probably the greatest oddball of the seventies. A friend of mine has a beautiful black Alfa Romeo Montreal. He calls her Lukrécia, and the car works as flawlessly as such a machine can—because it lives at Alfarium, a shop where they can deal with its dry-sump 2.6 liter V8's crazy SPICA fuel injection and all the wiring that wasn't quite finished at the factory. That's why I trust them with my Autobianchi, a slightly less complex beast. Lukrécia even made it to the pages of Petrolicious before, but now, it was time for photographer/illustrator TJ Grewal's beautiful blue Montreal to become their latest star. TJ ended up buying the first Montreal he ever saw—importing it from Italy—and as somebody who spends a lot of time in his studio appreciating the details of such cars, he couldn't be happier about getting this Bertone classic. Alfa Romeo built less than 4000 Montreals in the middle of the oil crisis, naming the production version of the concept car after the Canadian Expo it was made for.

  • Kenosha Engine Plant Investigation and Cleanup
    Kenosha Engine Plant Investigation & Cleanup RR-894 February 2017 The former Chrysler Engine Plant property is located in the heart of Kenosha in southeast Wisconsin. The plant first opened for automobile production in 1902 under Thomas B. Jeffery and was part of Kenosha’s long-standing history in auto manufacturing, later housing Nash Motors and American Motors Company. The Kenosha Engine Plant property is 107 acres in size. Approximately 3,700 residential-related properties – of which 2,400 are single-family homes – and eight schools are located within one-half mile of the plant. Its general boundaries are: 52nd Street to the north; 60th Street to the south; 24th Avenue to the east; and 30th Avenue to the west. Over the years, a series of mergers and buyouts changed the company name several times – Nash Motors, Nash- Kelvinator and American Motors are a few examples. Eventually the Chrysler Corporation bought the site, and in 1998 Chrysler itself was bought by DaimlerAG, which owned the site until 2007, when Cerberus Capital Management bought the company. After manufacturing automobiles and automobile parts for over 100 years, the plant was a casualty of the 2009 recession and was shut down in the fall of 2010, after the A sign describing the history of auto production in Chrysler Corporation declared bankruptcy. Kenosha on the fence outside the Kenosha Engine Plant (photo courtesy DNR). Old Carco, a liquidation bankruptcy trust, owned the property after the Chrysler bankruptcy proceedings were finalized in May 2010. A settlement agreement, filed in the US Bankruptcy Court in October 2011, was reached with the state of Wisconsin, the city of Kenosha, the United States Government, JP Morgan Chase Bank (the first lien holder of the property), and the Old Carco Liquidation Trust.
