2009 Chevrolet Camaro SS
The new Camaro appeared at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2007 and was an instant hit, and the big news is that the car is going into production almost unaltered.
The 2009 Chevrolet Camaro SS is based on GM’s Zeta platform, which underpins Australia’s Holden Commodore and the new Pontiac GTO as well as the Pontiac G8. The Zeta platform was designed from the start to be adaptable, and so far it looks as if it’s going to spread through most of GM’s brands.
The Zeta platform is also remarkably stiff, and is the ideal basis for the Camaro. The platform can be altered for wheelbase, so the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro SS is not going to be merely a Holden Commodore with a couple of doors taken off (that would be the new Pontiac GTO).
“The new Camaro will be almost identical to the concept, a thoroughly modern interpretation of the 1969 model, considered by many to be the best design of the car’s first generation,” said Ed Welburn, GM’s global vice president of design, who actually owns a 1969 Camaro SS.
The new car will feature multi link independent rear suspension and there will be choices of manual and automatic gearboxes, as well as V6 and V8 engines. The gearboxes will likely be the same six speed manual and six speed auto found in the Holden Commodore.
The Camaro was deigned by a particularly young group of designers, ranging in age from 27 to 35, but they all grew up with a common passion for American performance cars.
Nearly 4.8 million Camaros have been sold between the car’s introduction in 1967 and 2002, when production of the iconic vehicle ended, and there are more than one thousand Camaro clubs around the world.
The standard V6 model will use the 3.6 liter version of GM’s global V6, tuned to between 240 horsepower and 260 horsepower, while the V8 option will most likely be the 6.2 liter version of the GEN VI with around 400 horsepower. But GM is also currently working on a direct injection version of the V8, gaining more horsepower while increasing fuel economy from between three to six percent, and Dave Sczomak, development engineer-GM Powertrain Advanced Engineering, says the technology will bump power to “well over 450HP.” That engine may well make an appearance in the Camaro, either in the standard car or the SS model.

Either way, the SS version will be stripped out for lightweight performance. Expect the SS to weigh somewhere between 350 to 500 pounds less than the V8 Camaro for a 0-60 time around a tenth of a second or so better than the standard V8.
The all-new 2009 Chevrolet Camaro SS will begin with early production versions right at the end of 2008 and will hit the streets in the first quarter of 2009. But it’s not going to be an entirely US car, as the Camaro will be built at the Oshawa #2 car plant, part of GM’s award-winning, Oshawa assembly plant complex in Canada.

Hybrid Cars Negative Environmental Impact
If you take the total environmental cost of a vehicle as the point from when the car was first designed to when it is dismantled, or hopefully recycled, hybrid vehicles don’t quite match the hype they are currently getting.
A hybrid is a complicated vehicle, requiring lots of new technology and high tech components. A hybrid vehicle is harder to build because of its complexity, which means more energy is used in building the car. Some hybrids can charge their batteries from mains power, and this could be generated by ‘dirty’ technologies such as coal fired power stations or nuclear power. This is especially true for the pure electric cars on the market - it depends on how the electricity is produced as to what end effect your car is having on the environment.
While hybrids are considered clean technology by most people, any hybrid with an internal combustion engine will still produce pollutants. Catalytic converters handle most of the contamination, but there’s still that good old greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. Even hybrids pump this out, they just pump lower amounts of it, and mostly because most hybrids have engines that stop when the vehicle comes to a halt.
Another thing to consider with hybrids is the battery that stores the electricity. Most hybrids use a nickel metal hydride system, which requires nickel mining, which is often done in open cast mines with all the attendant pollution that goes along with excavating large holes in the ground. Luckily, nickel metal hydride batteries are non toxic and they can be recycled, but at a cost.
A hybrid also requires plenty of copper wire for the electric motors, further increasing the actual cost and environmental effect of constructing the car. Hybrids are also commonly 10 percent heavier than a similarly sized car, which means more power has to be produced than usual to achieve comparable performance. This is why many hybrids these days are actually mild hybrids, with a generator that produces electricity as the vehicle slows down, taking weight off the alternator, allowing it to work less, and therefore save fuel. Not as much as a hybrid, but the system is much simpler and easier to produce.
Once the car is built and on the road, the popular perception is that you are ‘doing your thing for the environment’ and this is true to some extent because a hybrid will use less fossil fuel than a conventional car, regardless of the way you drive it. Remember that a hybrid will probably never match the listed fuel efficiency because of the way the efficiency test is done, and because unless you only ever drive on heavily congested streets you won’t be utilizing the hybrid system effectively. Drive on the highway, for instance, and the petrol engine will be working all the time, negating the effect of the hybrid system.
Above all, remember you are not saving the planet by driving a hybrid or even a fully electric car, you are merely minimising your impact on the environment.

Supercar Trends
High-end, exotic cars with highly superior performances than other average, contemporary cars have been dubbed supercars, although the term is being disputed by the enthusiasts. The first one to receive this name was the Lamborghini Miura.
The criteria that designate supercars are performance, brand, styling, rarity or design. They are not made for single racing. These sports cars are usually driven by track amateurs and, because of their standard equipment, they do not qualify for car races.
By definition a super car has to be extremely fast. The acceleration for virtually all today’s supercars speeds up from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) under 5 seconds – for example Bugatti Veyron. Others reach 160 km/h (100 mph) in less than 9 seconds and it is generally accepted as the standard. Last but not least, a McLaren F1 can reach 320 km/h (200 mph) under 30 seconds.
The top speed was attained by the SSC Ultimate Aero TT, with 256.15 mph (412.233 km/h) in 2007 (13 September) that appointed it the fastest car in the world, similarly acclaimed by the Guinness World Records on October 9, 2007.
The weight is also important: in order to enhance acceleration, they have low vehicle mass and exceptional speed. Some have 5 lb per hp others 11.7 lb per hp. Notable are the Bugatti Veyron with 4.30 lb per hp – despite its heavy weight of 4299 lb including fuel - and the Koenigsegg with 3.23 lb per hp and a weight of 2,601 lb. The record is accepted to be held by the Ultimate Aero TT with only 2.33 lb per hp.
Design and brand are similarly important. Recently, car makers have been building new engines with all-wheel-drive because they perform a lot more power – like in the case of the Lamborghini Murcielago. Usually, the customers are more likely to choose an already established brand. New ones need time to prove their ability and performance.
The preference for a supercar doesn’t necessarily rely on the rarity of the car but on its performance and reliability. Actually more important seems to be the styling, as they have always displayed revolutionary style components.
As far as handling is concerned, supercars are built to offer the maximum in maters of road grip and cornering speeds. The Dodge Viper SRT-10 is known to have excellent brakes, stopping from 100 mph in 274 feet. Brake fade is also important, because, in time, it will diminish in performance.

Frequently, insurance companies offer discounts for existing clients or under certain circumstances. For car insurance, for example, you can receive discount on your premium for being an experienced driver, with a clean driving score or for a clear credit card history. If you choose a company with which you already have a policy you may be eligible to receive fidelity discounts or freebies. Also, if you have proved to be a good client over a longer span of time with the same insurance company, you may, again, receive extra discounts.

Useful Tips for Total Car Care
Taking good care of your ride is always a great idea. Not only will your car run better if you perform regular maintenance on it, it will also hold a good resale value if you keep it looking it's best. Keep reading to discover some great car care tips offered here.
Let's start with the outside of your car. Your car should be washed and waxed on a regular basis. But what should you use to wash your car? Some people think that any old soap will do to wash your car, but this is not true. If you are using dish soap to wash your car then you are removing all wax from your car. Dish soap is made to remove animal fat from dishes, so it will be really good at taking off that fresh coat of wax that you applied last week. Your best choice for total car care would be to choose a quality car wash. These washes are more of a detergent than a soap and will do less damage to your wax job.
Minimizing any scratches is always a great practice towards making your car looks great. Any dirt that comes in between the cleaning material and the car surface will cause the surface to be scratched and therefore dulling the paint on your car. So, when you are cleaning your car don't forget to take note of any chips or scratches in the paint. These should be repaired immediately to avoid rust. Minor dings and dents should be noted also. You can opt to repair these yourself or take your car to a body shop for the repair.
Remember to include tire care in your total car care procedure. Check the tire pressure and the tread for wear and tear. Having the correct pressures for your tires not only will prolong the useful lives of your tires, you will experience a smoother drive and better fuel efficiencies. Check all of your valve stem caps to make sure they are tight, as they are the final seal after the tire valve stem and could help to hold up the tire pressure should the tire valve stem fails. Apply a quality rubber protectant to your tires to prevent damage from UV rays. This will keep the rubber of your tires from drying and cracking.
Once you have finished with the exterior of your car, it's time to check the interior. Vacuum the interior thoroughly. If there are stains on the upholstery or the carpet, you can use a quality carpet and upholstery shampoo to clean the interior. Wash the windshield inside and out and clean all vinyl with a good vinyl cleaner and protectant as well.
To complete your total auto car care mission you should look under the hood. Checking under the hood on a periodic basis can help you to spot problems before they become costly and is therefore a wise thing to do. It is best to conduct the check when the car engine is cold, i.e. not after the car is being used and that the engine is hot. Check all fluid levels. Take a good look at your belts and hoses and check for cracks or worn out signs. Finally, make sure that all caps are screwed on tightly after the checks are done..
Following these car care tips will allow you to take the best possible care of your car. It will also save you money in the long run because a well maintained car will bring in more money for you should you decide to sell or trade in your car.
Do yourself and your car a favor and perform total auto car care on a regular basis - it will serve you well for a long, long way to come.
Enjoy safe driving.

Let's start with the outside of your car. Your car should be washed and waxed on a regular basis. But what should you use to wash your car? Some people think that any old soap will do to wash your car, but this is not true. If you are using dish soap to wash your car then you are removing all wax from your car. Dish soap is made to remove animal fat from dishes, so it will be really good at taking off that fresh coat of wax that you applied last week. Your best choice for total car care would be to choose a quality car wash. These washes are more of a detergent than a soap and will do less damage to your wax job.
Minimizing any scratches is always a great practice towards making your car looks great. Any dirt that comes in between the cleaning material and the car surface will cause the surface to be scratched and therefore dulling the paint on your car. So, when you are cleaning your car don't forget to take note of any chips or scratches in the paint. These should be repaired immediately to avoid rust. Minor dings and dents should be noted also. You can opt to repair these yourself or take your car to a body shop for the repair.
Remember to include tire care in your total car care procedure. Check the tire pressure and the tread for wear and tear. Having the correct pressures for your tires not only will prolong the useful lives of your tires, you will experience a smoother drive and better fuel efficiencies. Check all of your valve stem caps to make sure they are tight, as they are the final seal after the tire valve stem and could help to hold up the tire pressure should the tire valve stem fails. Apply a quality rubber protectant to your tires to prevent damage from UV rays. This will keep the rubber of your tires from drying and cracking.
Once you have finished with the exterior of your car, it's time to check the interior. Vacuum the interior thoroughly. If there are stains on the upholstery or the carpet, you can use a quality carpet and upholstery shampoo to clean the interior. Wash the windshield inside and out and clean all vinyl with a good vinyl cleaner and protectant as well.
To complete your total auto car care mission you should look under the hood. Checking under the hood on a periodic basis can help you to spot problems before they become costly and is therefore a wise thing to do. It is best to conduct the check when the car engine is cold, i.e. not after the car is being used and that the engine is hot. Check all fluid levels. Take a good look at your belts and hoses and check for cracks or worn out signs. Finally, make sure that all caps are screwed on tightly after the checks are done..
Following these car care tips will allow you to take the best possible care of your car. It will also save you money in the long run because a well maintained car will bring in more money for you should you decide to sell or trade in your car.
Do yourself and your car a favor and perform total auto car care on a regular basis - it will serve you well for a long, long way to come.
Enjoy safe driving.
