1971 Chevrolet El Camino - Trouble Maker
 If you roll out
on California 74 (a gnarly collection of blind curves and sheer-death drop-offs) all the way east to
the 215, you'll run right into the Perris junction. Out there in the hinterlands, a lifetime from
the Big City, Perris is usually a dry, wind-boiled patch. Except when the El Nio blowdowns swamp the
Southland, and the low places in the Valley take so much water that you can't drive through it.
Perris hangs by the mainstream but will never be quite in it, geographically or kulturally. Perris
has its own bullring too, the Auto Speedway, but no dragstrip. Willy Recksiek is a denizen of
this town. He doesn't race on circles of clay or dirt or tarmac. He likes winging it in a straight
line on asphalt. He likes being far from the festering insanity that lies behind the Orange Curtain...

1971 Chevrolet Nova - Living Out Loud
 I admire those cats who do
the most with the least. I admire those who peel the bankroll only at the last moment, as a last
resort. I admire those who would rather use their head and hands first, build their own stuff
instead of forking over a pile of fun tickets for something that anybody can buy. But sometimes
there is no choice and they are bound to work with what they've got and take it as far as they
can. When I asked Editor H where Justin Brayman, the owner of this '71 Nova, lived, he said
He's in Florida, your neighborhood, New Port Richey. Nah! I croaked. What street? He's about three
blocks from your house, said Henry. No tellin' what people got in their garages around here. I
never heard any late-night throttle wrestling, fussing with open exhaust, no cat-howl burnouts,...

2004 Chevrolet Avalanche - Pac It In - Tech
 We're all in search of the
perfect combo, the right mix of parts and tuning to endow our rides with the properdose of
high-performance fun. The process is especially satisfying when the payoff results from our own long
hours of research. On the other hand, there's certainly something to be said for letting someone
else do the homework. With this idea in mind, we decided to check out one of SLP's PerformancePacs,
using an untouched '04 Avalanche as our test subject. SLP has a PerformancePac for just about
anything running a Gen III powerplant: '98-02 Camaros and C5 Corvettes, along with most trucks and
SUVs. These packages come in variations for 4.8-, 5.3-, and 6.0L engines. The Avalanche system is a
fairly new addition to the lineup and has proved to be a hot seller. The Avalanche is surprisingly...

Chevrolet After Market Parts - CHP Parts Rack
 Early-Nova
rack-and-pinion Cradle System
It's a given that improved steering response and better
handling are good things in any vintage vehicle, and Flaming River Industries now offers both for
'62-67 Novas with its rack-and-pinion steering conversion system. This new setup uses a precision
jig-welded rack cradle, which bolts directly to the stock frame mounting holes-no modifications
required. The rack cradle positions a quick-ratio (311/42 turns lock-to-lock) manual rack-and-pinion
that maintains correct steering geometry, minimizes bumpsteer, and allows full turning radius. The
system includes the steering column (in paintable, mill-finish stainless steel, or polished
stainless) along with all necessary hardware and wiring. This manual rack system is for cars with...

After weeks of negotiations and contract extensions, UAW Local 31 — which staffs General
Motors' Fairfax production facility in Kansas City, Kansas — struck at 10 am this
morning. The Fairfax plant is one of two GM plants that produces the Chevrolet Malibu, arguably the
automaker's most important model.

North of GM’s Desert Proving Grounds: These camouflaged prototypes are the first hint as to what
the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt will look like! Based on what was once called the Delta 2 platform, the
all-new Cobalt will ride on GM’s Global Compact Vehicle Architecture.
The primary engineering and development will come from

If you're bummed you didn't get your order in for the 2008 Nissan GT-R, you still have
another chance to grab another supercar in the form of the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. But you better
act fast. Just as the GT-R was limited to a finite number of examples worldwide, General Motors
will only
