Hummer H2

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:55 am

The Hummer H2 could be a dying breed of high class, large framed, utility vehicles. Made by General Motors since 2003, it's a heavy duty and high class, full sized SUV class vehicle that can do 0 to 60 in 8.2 seconds and had an MSRP of over $54,000 in 2008. For 2009, 1300 units of the Black Chrome Limited Edition version of the truck were released and then General Motors sold the Hummer line as part of its reorganization. Nonetheless, it still is a popular SUV because if you have ever driven one, you will know it is more about fun, than fuel efficiency.

The primary problem for the Hummer H2 was gas mileage at 8.6 to 12 miles to the gallon, although it gets better than the Hummer H1, which is slightly longer and taller. Unless of course you change the airflow mapping to increase the air to fuel ration as I have done on H2. No matter it is still competitive with the popular Cadillac Escalade, despite the fuel price spikes and it is more for those that like adventure, with a sense of prestige.

Resale might not be the greatest-previous year's models were found to lose 40% of their value if they were 2 or 3 years old, because of the decline in large SUV popularity due to gas prices, but since prices have come back down, the power and traction make it a driving experience that not many other vehicles can give you, especially on the off-road. However resale is not usually an issue for a committed H2 owner, because most of them will keep it until either it dies or they do.

For those that want a rugged, massive truck frame for the off road vehicle experience, it doesn't get better than a Hummer H2. While it is popular as an on-road passenger vehicle that can hold six passengers very comfortably, including the driver, the four wheel drive traction and the 6.2 Liter V8 engine give it the strength and toughness to take on the most challenging courses off-road.

It shares the same platform as the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon, but the final frame assembly is a combination of 3 sections utilizing the 2500 series utility frame for the front, a modified 1500 series frame for the rear and a new, completely boxed mid-section, to support the 8,600 gross vehicle weight.

For those that are Hummer fans, the Hummer H2 is still popular, despite the 61% sales plunge that GM saw last year in the Hummer line. The 2009 Hummers also feature an H3T or Pickup truck model.

With the new 2009 Hummer H2 you will find that it comes standard with a power sunroof, and safety features like head curtain airbags for all three rows, panic brake assist, tire pressuring monitoring, electronic stability control with roll migration, OnStar and Blue Tooth wireless capability.

Sadly in June 2009 General Motors sold the Hummer line to a Chinese Industrial Machinery company. However the good news is that the Chinese Company, Tengzhong had said they plan to continue the Hummer brand's heritage, which is "synonymous with adventure, freedom and exhilaration". It could be that they have discovered the niche market that loves the Hummer H2-the people in search of these feelings, who are not necessarily worried about the price of fuel or the price of the Hummer H2.

So is the fact that the Hummer H2 will continue to be offered by a Chinese Machinery company really good news? The upside is that the price may come down on the Hummer, as is known to happen with may products where manufacturing has gone to China - but does that also mean that the H2 itself will also suffer from quality? Only time will tell.

Mercedes Benz 2010 E-Class

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 2:53 pm

Mercedes Benz has been around for years and each year they surpass even their own expectations with the automobiles produced. For example the new Mercedes Benz 2010 E-class has a new aero-dynamic design that overwhelms other luxury class cars; with wrap-around LED tail-lights and LED Daytime running lights with squared-off twin headlamps. Such features as the aggressively styled front end with the chrome polished grill and "Mercedes" emblem, sunroof, double-stitched, hand-polished leather, and wood grain interior accents, let you know these are classic Mercedes vehicles.

You can get this car in 5-passenger, 4-door sedans or 4 passenger, 2-door coupes, depending on how many people you want to transport. One of the greatest benefits of this car is the sensors that help with your rear view vision in blind spot areas, so it's like having eyes in the back of your head. This kind of technology is just one of the reasons the Mercedes Benz E-Class vehicles is able to out-class the competition.

The family version is the 5-passenger sedan. It is a full sized luxury sedan with 268 horsepower, V6 engine or 382 horsepower V8 engine options and a 7 speed automatic transmission. There is also a 4-passenger sport coupe version that has the same engine choices and a standard panorama sunroof. No matter which model you choose, you are going to find that they are redesigned inside and out. The two E-Class models are the E350 and E550 in either sedan or sport coupe options.

With such features as "Airmatic" air suspension on the E550, "Agility Control" suspension on the E350 and 17 or 18 inch alloy wheels on the sedans, or staggered 5 spoke wheels on the sport coupe, they are a comfortable ride in high-powered Mercedes fashion.

The E-class started in 1947 and they have remained the most successful line of luxury sedans ever since. Their futuristic features and designs are what have made them a tradition. The 2010 Mercedes Benz E-Class is a couple of great cars that promise more of the same.

They have the optional 4Matic all-wheel drive technology and standard electronic stability control. Even though you are driving a luxury sedan, you feel like you are driving a race-car with practicality in bad weather.

Of course, the safety first technology is most impressive with 9 airbags, the "Attention Assist" driver drowsiness monitor, the optional "Distonic Monitoring" and "PreSafe Brake" system that automatically maintains following distance in cruise control and initiates emergency braking.

It uses some of the most advanced technology for driving safety in a luxury sedan today. Mercedes Benz has always been known for their great engineering and design, and the E-class shows it beautifully.

With the new "Comand" system that has a 7 inch LCD display, which comes standard and the standard Bluetooth interface for hands-free calling, it offers uncommon conveniences and addresses other entertainment options like iPod/MP3 media interface, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and rear seat entertainment system.

The 2010 Mercedes Benz E-class ranked top in comparison racing with the BMW550i and a Jaguar XF. With the quickest 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds, and the quarter mile run at 103.5 mph in 13.6 seconds, it was the best in the group, due to the largest displacement engine with the most torque because of the 7 speed transmission, but it also got the best fuel economy at 19.3 mpg. What more could you ask for?

The 1999 Ford Mustang GT

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:10 pm

In the year of 1998, Ford Motor Company revealed a revamped Mustang. The Mustang had long been Ford’s flagship sports car, but in the years just prior to 1999 the Mustang had gotten away from its roots. Although the mid seventies and eighties were fine cars, they looked very minimalistic. By the time the mid nineties came around aerodynamic curves were in, and the Mustang of that era reflected that trend.

Then came the 1999 Ford Mustang. The 99 model took the Ford Mustang back to its roots to celebrate the car's 25th anniversary. In fact, it looked so much like the original Mustang that if a person were to take all of the logos off the car and travel back in time to 1964 (ala Marty McFly), the people of that era would recognize the car as a slightly different version of the Mustang that was taking America by storm.

Of course it wasn't possible to manufacture the exact same car with the exact same technology and put it up for sale. The tri-reflector taillights are bigger than the original ones, and instead of having a gas cap on the rear of the car, Ford paid homage to the original by putting a mock gas cap with the GT logo in the same spot where the original car had the actual gas cap. The long hood and the side c-scoop really finished out the retro look.

One of the complaints from Ford Mustang enthusiasts about this model was the engine change. The previous engine was a 5.0 liter, and it was very popular. The new engine was a 4.6 Liter with 260 horse power at just over 5000 RPMs. Yes, there were sport cars produced in 1999 that had more horsepower, but most of them lacked the rack and pinion steering. And let me tell you, when you step on the clutch, shift, and then step on the gas pedal, 260 horse power is plenty. When I tried this out myself, there was a feeling in my belly that was close to the feeling you get when you start to ride down a roller coaster.

I also got a big kick out of the Mach sound system. The 1999 Ford Mustang GT featured an optional 6-disc CD changer. I could ride for 5 hours and not hear the same song twice.

Not many cars can leave an impression that can last over ten years, but he 1999 Ford Mustang is an exception. I remember the exciting styling, the hard acceleration, and the ability to whip around curves. If you find yourself looking at a used 1999 Ford Mustang GT, you should always check and see if it has been well taken care of. If it has, after you purchase it and experience the feeling of ownership, you will become a Mustang enthusiast.

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 3:08 pm

The BMW 5 Series is the fifth generation of BMWs since the introduction in 1972. The E60 came out in 2004 and has advanced technology, complete electronic controls and other nifty gadgets, but it isn't cheap - the MSRP is $85,500, although that is still cheaper than some high performance vehicles.

It has such get up and go that it is easy to see how speeds of 190 miles per hour were reached on the German Autobahn. Handling is superb, due to the electronically controlled suspension.

The E60 was named the best new luxury/prestige car in 2006 by Canadian Car of the Year awards. It gets 17 miles per gallon on the highway at normal speeds. Because it is classified as a sports car and sedan, its competition spans both classifications.

With the 5.0 liter, V10 engine, with 12.0 compression ratio, double overhead cam, variable valve timing and four valves per cylinder, and 500 horsepower performance, it has tested out in the ¼ mile at 12.83 seconds and hit speeds over 113 mph.

Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Coupe 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 5:17 pm

If you are a Corvette enthusiast, you might not even recognize the ZR1 Coupe as a Corvette, in the traditional sense. With a national base sticker price slightly over $100,000, you get standard paint, but have to pay extra for colors like Velocity Yellow, Atomic Orange, Jetstream Blue and Crystal Red. A full width spoiler costs extra. The premium equipment package can run another $10,000 and ZR1 Chrome Aluminum wheels and AM/FM CD with DVD Navigation can run another couple thousand a piece.

While the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is not for the budget-minded, this car signifies the last model year made before General Motors hit the skids. The 2010 Corvette promises to be a concept car that could make the 2009 a collector’s item in the years to come.

There is a 6.2 Liter Supercharged V8 SFI Engine and 6-Speed Manual Transmission included in the base price on the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. The supercharger compressor makes it the performance car that Corvettes are known for.

The 6162 cc 6.2 liters, V8 front engine with 103.3mm bore, 92.0mm stroke, 9.1 compression ratio, overhead valve and two valves per cylinder LS9 is what comes standard. The 7008 cc 7.0 liters V8 front engine has 104.8 mm bore, 101.6 mm stroke, 11.0 compression ratio, overhead valve and two valves per cylinder LS7 is also available. This hardly sounds like a fuel efficient vehicle, that is recommended to run premium unleaded with 91 octane or better rating.

Reviews of the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 indicate that Chevy wanted to stay on top of the high performance sports car arena with its all new-all powerful new engine, capable of producing 430 horsepower. Consumers rate this Corvette high, although it only bears some resemblance to the classic Corvette Stingrays of previous years in the Corvette line.

The Corvette Z06 was voted among Car and Driver’s 10 best, eight years running and looks more like the traditional Corvettes that made the name famous in high performance sports cars. With a national base price a little over $70,000, this model might be a better deal than the 2009 Corvette ZR1. In fact, according to Popular Mechanics road testing, the Z06 is an American muscle car that is considered a bargain that can “blister the quarter-mile in 12 seconds flat”.

For true Corvette lovers, either model is good, but the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 seems expensive in comparison to the same sized motor in the Corvette Z06 model. For those that want a high performance Corvette, you might be better off to go with the Z06 model, as reviews of the ZR1 don’t reflect the $30,000 difference in price tag overall.

On the other hand, compared to some of the other high performance sports cars on the market, you can hardly go wrong with any Corvette, no matter what model. It will always remain a true American classic that represents everything a sports car should be. The 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is for those that have the pocketbooks to support it, but for those that are more budget minded Corvette lovers, the Z06 might be a better overall value than the ZR1.

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 4:41 pm

For many consumers, a sport utility vehicle can provide not only adequate transportation in terrain that is less than perfect, but also the seating capacity and storage space that is desired by a number of owners. Built on a light truck chassis with the option for 4-wheel drive or off-road capability, many SUV’s are capable of towing much the same amount as a pickup truck with the storage space of a current market minivan.

If it is a crossover SUV that you are in the market for, then the Land Rover Freelander may just be the one for you. Using the features of a minivan and a sport utility vehicle while it still has the feel of driving a car, consumers are attracted to the crossover SUV due to its compact nature and many benefits of space and versatility.

The 3.2 litre engine with 230 horsepower is now standard in the LR2, which is now manufactured and assembled at Halewood, England near Liverpool. Making sure that this generation of Land Rovers has improved ground clearance and greater off-road potential, this model compares slightly better than the competition from BMW or Audi models. The quality of the interior has improved with this generation of models and added a number of safety features as a standard.

Additional Features; First sold in the United States in 2007 as the LR2, the 2008 version was referred to as the LR2 HSE.

Writing about Automobile Salvage is our raison d’etre

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 11:33 pm

Hi All, this online journal will be focussed on the use of salvaged autos. That is the rebuilding of cars, the stripping of totalled cars for useable spare parts and the regulatory framework governing this activity. We will not be giving advise on this matters, but we might write about everything .
