  • Corvette Terminology
    Corvette Terminology http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3000/glossary.html?2007... Corvette Terminology What does L-88, LT-1, etc. mean? original Info From: Bill Jurasz ............... ( [email protected] ) Updated 11/07/05 by Mike "Doc" Cobine ...... ( corvette_doc ) A AC Air Conditioning. AC was introduced in the middle of the 1963 model with only 278 cars so equipped, making these the third most rare of '63s (36 gallon tank cars and Z06 being fewer) and more rare than many other cars. In later years, the number grew to where AC became standard equipment. No '53 to '62 Corvettes had air conditioning from the factory. AC Cobra See Cobra, AC Cobra, Shelby Cobra. AFB See Carter AFB. A.I.R. In terms of emissions equipment, this stands for Air Injection Reactor. Air is pumped by the "smog pumps" through air injection manifolds into the exhaust manifolds to complete the oxidization process of the unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust stream. Many claim this is hogwash and is simply a case of diluting the exhaust with fresh air. That is, if the exhaust dirt is 100 parts per million (PPM), then adding a million parts of fresh air effectively makes the exhaust dirt 50 PPM, reducing the dirtiness, even though the same amount of dirt is still present. In terms of racing, this stands for the American International Racing team headed by James Garner in 1968. His team bought three new 1968 L88 Corvettes for racing and ran them in the late '60s. Air Box In the late '50s, part of the racing options included a box for channeling air through the body to the rear brakes for cooling.

  • Autobytel Editors Survive Nature's Deadliest Killer "Sharknado" in Ten Storm-Worthy Rides
    July 18, 2013 Autobytel Editors Survive Nature's Deadliest Killer "Sharknado" in Ten Storm-Worthy Rides Company enthusiasts pick their top cars for riding out violent, shark-ridden storms served up by this summer's Twitter sensation and SyFy thriller IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ahhhh, summer. Time for picnics, swimming, naps in the hammock…and apocalyptic tales of sharks descending from a freak and violent cyclone over Los Angeles. Such is the premise of "Sharknado," the campy, made-for-SyFy summertime cinematic thriller about a tornado that hoists sharks out of the ocean and hurls them onto terrified Los Angeleans. The social media sensation, originally airing on the SyFy channel July 11th, is set to re-air tonight, with talks about a sequel (or possible prequel) under way and with people lining up to Twitter tagline ideas for the second installment. In time for tonight's rebroadcast, the car enthusiasts at Autobytel picked their top ten vehicles to ride out the Sharknado storm. 2003 Hyundai Tiburon In the event of a shark deluge to rival an act of God, stay calm and make like a shark. Enter the Hyundai Tiburon — the Korean automaker's successor to the aptly-named Scoupe coupe, and first attempt at building a shark. Autobytel's editors prefer the second-generation model, which nicked some of its design cues from Ferraris. Sharks are fast. Ferraris are faster. 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Mako Shark and Morgan Three-Wheeler (Tie) One step up the chain of conformity for the sake of survival is not only acting like the enemy, but looking like it, as well.

  • FIA Specification 1964 Corvette Sting Ray Chassis No. 40867-S-108144
    FIA Specification 1964 Corvette Sting Ray Chassis No. 40867-S-108144 • From the land where horsepower matters. • Restored to to 1965 Big Block, disc braked racing specification, with a Peter Knight racing engine. • Recently race prepared by RW Racing Services and accompanied by two spare racing wheels and its current FIA Papers. • Beautifully presented throughout this will be a fast and exciting entry to the ever popular GTSCC, Gentleman Drivers and the prestigious Spa 6 Hrs. The Chevrolet Corvette optimizes the racing in America in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. The Movement away from the cumbersome cars of the 40’s and early 1950’s towards the more refined European style of racing and sports cars. However in doing this American manufactures thankfully managed to keep a style and flair of their own and held on to the old adage that ‘horsepower maters’ . From the first arrival of Chevrolet’s Corvette in 1953 it stood out from the crowd. Wild curvaceous lines and a powerful engine, it was every boys dream. Billed by Chevrolet as ‘Americas only true sportscar’ , in 1956 General Motors put talented expatriate Russian auto engineer and sports car racer Zora Arkus-Duntov in charge of the Corvette. Under his guidance and despite GM banning factory backed racing, the Corvette had become a fast, profitable, race-winning model that helped give Chevy a sporty image. Highly popular with both amateur and professional race teams alike for years to come. Briggs Cunning ran a team of three cars at Le Mans in 1959 and Corvette would go on to grace that hallowed circuit for years to come.
