The Chevy Volt Revolution

chevy
Morgan Kelps asked:


Bob Lutz GM’s 72-year-old Vice Chairman sits on the cutting edge of new hybrid technology. It is in fact Mr. Lutz and his belief in hybrid technology that has led Chevrolet to create some interesting new hybrid models due out soon including the Silverado, Tahoe, Malibu and Equinox. Under Mr. Lutz’s guidance, Chevrolet even produced a fleet of transit buses powered by their Allison Electric Drive Transmission system for King County, Washington. A fleet is expected to save King County over 750,000 gallons of gasoline a year over the non hybrids it replaced according to hybrid-car.org.

Perhaps more important than any of the strides forward to date will be the 2010 launch of a brand new hybrid on its very own platform. We are of course talking about the 2010 Chevy Volt, part sports car, part green machine, all fun.

Officially unveiled at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) on January 7, 2007 in Detroit, Michigan, the new Volt represents one of the first hybrid coupes to market. It was designed to meet the needs of most everyday commuters by providing electric power for up to 40 miles based off of its battery charge. In between the hybrid power and the internal combustion engines, the Volt is said to be able to travel 640 miles on a full charge. Perhaps most importantly, the Volt has been designed with the everyday user in mind.

With a price point around $30-40k, the Volt can fit the budgets of most middle class families looking to break the mold. Plus, based on a secret source, Bloomberg revealed in August ‘07 that first year production will yield 60,000 Volts. That number is nearly triple the amount of Prius that were made available to consumer post launch. A move that led to waiting lists, purchases over sticker price and a variety of other hype on Toyota’s behalf.

One of the other reasons the Volt represents a large step forward for American automakers is the unique E-Flex system. This new platform from Chevy will ultimately allow for deployment across a variety of Chevy hybrids in the future and lies at the core of its success. The design combines a small electric motor with a lithium ion battery for the electric component while the gas engines is based on a small 1 liter engine to do the work at higher speeds. The combined package creates an engine with a peak output of 160 horsepower. Despite this low hp rating, electric engines accelerate far faster than combustion engines as displayed with the Tesla Roadster which goes from 0-60 in under four seconds according to their site.

In addition to a new platform, new technology and a reasonable price, the Chevy Volt and other cars that rely heavily on electronic propulsion require less maintenance:

• Filters need less changing due to decreased need for air filtration

• Brakes need less changing due to friction breaking

• Less moving parts equals lower probability of engines malfunctions

• Reduced oil changes/engine maintenance to reliance of electric technology

Facts in hand, take a minute to think about your next purchase and why a Chevy Volt may be the right car for you.

chevy
Sean asked:


I have a chevy 350 out of a 1990 chevy 1500 4×4. I think it has about 200 horsepower right now and I want to rebuild it and get 300-350 horsepower. I probably don’t want to spend more than $900 I also want to put rebuilt vortec heads on it and that will cost about $250.

Improve Stability and Handling With the Help of a Chevy Spoiler

chevy
Evander Klum asked:


There’s no better way of giving a Chevrolet vehicle sportier and more aggressive look than installing a Chevy spoiler. But aside from this aesthetic function, a Chevrolet spoiler actually serves stability and handling purposes.

A Chevy spoiler is an aerodynamic device that attaches to an automobile whose intended design function is to ’spoil’ unfavorable air movement across a body of a car in motion. How do Chevrolet spoilers work? Basically, it disrupts the airflow going over a car. This disruption’s primary purpose is to reduce the amount of lift naturally generated by the shape of the car. This results to an increase in the contact between the tire and the road surface which then causes increased traction. An increase traction allows a vehicle in motion to brake, turn, and accelerate with more stability.

There are various types of Chevy spoilers that are offered in the market nowadays. One type is the wing spoiler which is an airfoil suspended above the body of the vehicle. Another one is the lid spoiler (commonly trunk lid spoiler, lip spoiler, or boot lid spoiler) which is often a ridge of plastic or metal attached directly to the top of the trunk lid. A roof spoiler, on the other hand, is a small ridge of plastic or metal attached to the very back of the roof, usually just above the rear window. A splitter is a spoiler attached to the front bumper, very close to the road surface, sometimes known as a “front spoiler” or on stock or stock-appearing cars as an “air dam.”

Chevy spoilers are made of different kinds of materials like fiber glass and lightweight steel. Nowadays, the most popular ones are made of a light and durable material called polyurethane. There are also a couple of spoilers which makes use a combination of two or three of different materials.

In buying a Chevrolet spoiler, one needs to take into consideration the shape and design of a vehicle. Choosing the right Chevy spoiler for a specific Chevrolet vehicle is crucial so as to get the best results.

The Towering Chevy Tahoe 4wd Z71

chevy
Correy Putton asked:


With the number of SUV owners increasing steadily, it comes as no surprise that there are more and more SUVs being offered to the public by different manufacturers. This may be a trend that may continue for a while, but one thing we know is that great cars never go out of fashion. They may gather years but their performance and their entire design will be a lasting legacy, affecting the designs of future automobiles.

And if you are ready to go into the full size SUV class, the Chevy Tahoe is just right for you. It is loaded with awesome features and toys you would surely want to be in your car. It is one of those full sized SUVs that commands attention and turn heads every turn of the road. Though the car is pretty much designed to be an off-roader, taking on the raw streets of Mother Nature, city driving aboard it is just as goods an experience.

The car is designed to be able to take to even the harshest terrain with the comfort of the driver and the passenger not being left to chance. The car is supported by a multi-link suspension system at the rear ensuring driving stability and comfort for those on board. Speaking of comfort, the Tahoe comes with plush leather 6-way power bucket seats to take care of your rear end especially during long and bumpy rides. It can accommodate up to 6 passengers with still room to spare and in the process giving the occupants enough leg room and head space. For entertainment, it comes with an FM/AM/CD audio system with rear controls. Even the steering wheel speaks of luxury for it is covered in leather and with tilt adjusts for better positioning and convenience in driving for anyone behind the wheel.

To complement all those amenities the car has, the engine is not surprisingly of high caliber just like the Chevy parts used in the construction of the truck. Its power plant is a 5300 Vortec V8 engine which churns out a respectable 285 horsepower at 5200 revs per minute and 325 lb-ft of torque at 4000 revs. While this V8 may seem to be very powerful, and of course it is, but it is a quiet one at that. Noise and vibrations are significantly reduced inside the cabin giving the passenger a nice and quiet trip, adding to the comfort of the passengers especially during extended road trips. Bridging the gap between the engine and the 17” off-road steel belted radials is a 4 speed automatic transmission. Along with that, the car is equipped with the Autotrac system which quickly adjusts the car under varying road conditions. It can disengage the four-wheel drive during city driving or when extra traction is not necessarily needed to increase the savings in fuel consumption, and turn it on quickly once traction is needed in any wheel. Now, is that convenient or what?

While the fuel consumption is a bit high, rated at 14 mpg on city streets or 17 mpg on the open highway, the numbers are just the same as its competitor in the same market. And by finely tuning the car to its full potential, gas savings can be increased, just the same as with any other car. So, it goes without saying that the Chevy Tahoe is one of the best full-size SUVs in the market today and with the company producing it bent on upgrading the model, we can all look forward to an even better version of this vehicle.

Why would a 2003 Chevy ZR-2 Tracker start for just a second and then quit and not start?

chevy
edrambo51 asked:


It is a 2003 ZR-2 Chevy Tracker with a DOHC 2.5 litre V-6. When you try to start it it hits and has an odor as if the gas were half burned. I am thinking it may be a timing belt but am not sure.
Also does this model have two timing belts?
