Al & Eds Autosound in West Hollywood took the best out of the new Camaro SS muscle car. The tuner made modifications starting with performance, wheels, interior and audio.
The car’s silver racing stripes were replaced with red one, the white section of the front and the SS logo was also covered in red, the gold front and the Chevy logo were covered in matte black and dark smoke films were applied to the front and rear side markers. Next to all this the tuner added Gianelle 24″ Santorini wheels and a Corsa performance exhaust system.
And we kept the best part for last: the interior. Al&Ed’s Autosound added two Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.2 EQ processors, seven Focal amplifiers totaling over 3,000 watts of power and two Focal 12″ subwoofers.
The special edition Chevrolet Camaro BlaKRoc will be released on "Black Friday," November 27, the day after Thanksgiving - this is where its name comes from.
The BlakRoc Camaro has been equipped with sleek, stylish accents that tie in with the BlakRoc brand. Starting with the BR logo inlayed front and center. The windows are tinted, the taillights are smoked, and even the Chevy bow tie goes dark to complete the look. The Black on Black classic combination subtly comes to life with flat black racing stripes front to back with the BlakRoc logo inlayed in metallic on the hood and rear spoiler.
If you thought that in order to get a hand built high performance engine you have to break the bank for a high end Mercedes Benz AMG model then you are mistaken. That is because America’s favorite sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette’s 21st century small block V8 uses the same one builder one engine methodology at GMs Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan. This allows the master craftsman to take their time and meticulously prepare and then put together the high performance power plants that will eventually go into the wide bodied Grand Sport, the 505 HP Z06 and even supercharged ZR-1 Corvette super car. So the next time you are thinking about high performance high quality hand crafted machinery, just know that you con find it right here in the good old U.S. of A.
German tuners are well known for going over the top in terms of both speed and style when it comes to their own brand of custom car tuning and this latest creation from LOMA Performance is overflowing with both. Seeing the beauty of America’s favorite sports car LOMA has chosen a stock base model Chevrolet Corvette as the foundation for the C6.BlackforceOne, a limited edition, wide body, high speed machine that will be unveiled at the Essen Motor Show. Getting the customized Corvette’s stance perfect required about four inches of carbon fiber jutting out horizontally from all four wheel arches, once LOMA had the body sitting just right they went to work on the small block under the hood.
When they were done the BlackforceOne was left with a twin turbocharged V8 that produces an astounding 780 HP, now that is like adding a whole HondaK Series engine to the already impressive Corvette ZR1 halo car. The tuners at LOMA feels that in the world of high performance tuning that speed is the ultimate status symbol, so aside from blistering acceleration they also wanted their modified bow tie to be able to achieve a tremendous top speed. Not only can the C6.BlackForceOne sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in just 3.4 seconds but it won’t stop until it reaches 205 MPH. Production of the LOMA Performance C6.BlackforceOne is limited to only 25 vehicles and will be available in an assortment of flat fighter jet inspired colors like Stealth matte black, Eurofighter matte gray and White Storm matte white priced at almost $285,000 each.

In one of the strangest contests we’ve come across recently, Chevrolet has narrowed down the list of its ‘Volt Color Naming Contest’ to three finalists.
That’s right - a color-naming contest.
What’s even more surprising was the fact that over 13,000 people submitted their ‘entries’ for the contest, which, as we’ve said, has been narrowed down to three colors. These three colors are “EV-ergreen", which was submitted by Devin McQuarrie of San Jose, CA, “Viridian Joule”, which was submitted by Dave Thomas of Sanford, FL, and “environMINT”, which was submitted by Matthew Valbuena of Rancho Santa Margarita, CA.
Voters can now cast their votes over at the Chevy Volt website with only one vote per IP address will be counted over the next two weeks. The contest will conclude on December 1 in Los Angeles where a winner will be officially announced. The three finalists will also be brought to LA for the official announcement and as a prize; the winner will get to take the Volt in its winning color out for a test drive, becoming the first outsider to be given the opportunity.
It’s not much for a prize, to be honest. We were kind of expecting Chevy to give the winner a Volt model of his own. After all, he was the one who thought of the color of the car.
Superperformance has long been regarded as one of the best in creating special replicas of legendary cars. Among their creations include such legendary vehicles like the Cobra, Daytona Coupe, and the GT40. While they hold special mention as being one of the best at what they do, their latest creation trumps anything they’ve ever done before. Anybody who’s ever heard of the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport knows that the car is steeped in racing lore as one of those vehicles that almost never came to fruition.
Designed by legendary Corvette engineer, Zora Arkus-Duntov, the 1963 Grand Sport was created out of secrecy after GM executives scoffed at the program for the original car – a car that was supposed to be purpose-built race car to win Sebring and Le Mans – and as a result, the whole program was forcibly scrapped – except for five prototypes that were already made at that time. Today, all five original cars are among the most sought-after vehicles among collectors all over the world.
There were a bevy of Chevrolet Camaros at the 2009 SEMA Show, however there was one particular pony car in the GM display that caught our eye, perhaps because of the lovely lady in the little black dress spread out on the black Camaro’s carbon fiber hood. Aside from the glamorous automotive accessory, the award winning Chevy makes the most of the lightweight wavy stuff for not only the hood, but for the trunk, fenders and ground effects as well. On the inside the front seat passengers sit snugly in a pair of carbon fiber backed racing buckets and get a little bit of visual variety thanks to the recovered door panels. Rounding out the modified black on black Camaro SS with a hint of carbon are a set of 20 inch BBS rims wrapped in sticky Hankook tires with a set of cross drilled Brembo big brakes hidden away inside. However the best part of this pony car is the Paxton supercharger under the hood, the only hint to the boosted V8 power plant is the oversized intercooler that smiles through the front bumper.
Chevrolet’s SEMA experience was made successful, thanks in large part to a host of cars – including six Camaros – the company revealed in the annual auto show. Among those that generated an overwhelmingly positive response from those in attendance included the Jay Leno Camaro, the Camaro Synergy, the Corvette, and a revamped Silverado ZR2 Concept. was hardly a surprise, especially considering the line-up of Chevy cars
In this video, a number of Chevy designers – including Dave Ross, the design manager for the brands’ specialty vehicles - took time to talk about the creation of these accessorized vehicles.
