Introducing the Fastest & Most Accessible Camaro Yet

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- Coming in late February, the fastest, most accessible, and track-capable Camaro yet, the 2019 ZL1 1LE. Available with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this vehicle is optimized for speed and endurance.

During the vehicle's development, Chevy engineers pushed the limits of the automatic transmission to be more than one half second faster than the standard manual on General Motors' 2.9-mile Milford Road Course. However, this vehicle doesn't just save you time at the track, it gives customers a  more engaging driving experience due to a plethora of other performance options like: 

• Downforce-Producing Aero: unique features include a carbon fiber rear wing, specific air deflectors and dive planes on the front fascia that produce grip-generating downforce to help the car stick harder and drive faster in turns.

• Adjustable Suspension: Racing derived, lightweight Multimac DSSV dampers front and rear offer exceptional wheel and vehicle control. The front-end ride height is adjustable, along with the camber geometry. The rear stabilizer bar also offers three-way adjustability.

• Wheels and Tires: Specific lightweight forged aluminum wheels are an inch wider but an inch smaller in diameter, front and rear, than standard ZL1 wheels and are used with new summer-only Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R tires that deliver max lateral grip of 1.10g. 

• Lighter Weight: The lighter wheels and dampers, along with thinner rear glass and a fixed-back rear seat, contribute to more than 50-pound lower curb weight than a standard ZL1 Coupe.

• Supercharged Performance & More: The power behind the ZL1 1LE is the 650-horsepower, supercharged LT4 engine. Brembo brakes are included, along with dual-zone automatic climate control, Bose premium audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel.

The new transmission comes with many changes that live up to the requirements of the 1LE performance package. Unique calibrations were made to the transmission, electronic limited slip differential, and performance traction management system. The front and rear Multimac DSSV dampers have been tuned to accommodate the quicker shifts in weight transfer. New hardware includes an updated transmission oil pan and an additional cooling duct for the steering gear. 

All these upgrades are just another way that Chevrolet is upping their game for 2019. Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet passenger car and crossover marketing said of the new package: 

"Adding an automatic transmission is another example of the Camaro portfolio delivering what customers want. This ultimate 1LE package is just another appealing option that is true to its racing heritage." 

Want to purchase the ZL1 1LE Track Performance Package for yourself? The MSRP is $7,500 and the available 10-speed automatic transmission is an additional MSRP of $1,595. Want more details? Head over to the Chevrolet website now!

Chevy Fans "In Shock" Over New Camaro Color

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- Brightly colored muscle cars have been a revered trend since the 1960's, but until now the Chevy Camaro has sported a fairly tame palette offering. The 2019 models have received a total makeover, with vibrant, new colors and modernized nose detail. Shock, the latest color offering, is headed for unveiling at SEMA on the 30th of this month. This extreme highlighter yellow shade is garnering quite the buzz among Chevy enthusiasts producing a mixture of both positive and negative feedback.

Although Chevy has not released any information about exactly which Camaro models are being offered in Shock, we do know that production with the new neon offering will begin early next year and will likely be an extra-cost option. The restyled front features a relocated bow-tie emblem and extra graphics on the hood and fenders. Shiny after-market accessories like black badges and a rear spoiler round out the new appearance. But the aesthetics aren't the only upgrades on the 2019 models, they feature new wheel design, Chevrolet infotainment systems, full-display rearview camera mirror, and forward collision alert. 

Love the new color, but aren't a muscle car fan? Fun fact: this color is also currently available on the Chevrolet Bolt EV. 

What are your thoughts on the 2019 Chevy Camaro models? How about the color shock? Do you love it, or is it a bit too much? Comment and let us know, we love hearing from you.

Multiple Chevy Models Named to "Best of 2018" Lists

MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,–– Chevy vehicles have been showing up on a number of "Best of 2018" lists so far this year, including lists from major publications such as Consumer Reports, Car and Driver, and U.S. News & World Report. These lists thoroughly vet and assess the new 2018 models from across the market, and rank only the best of the best. Chevrolet has always prided itself on engineering excellence and for providing amazing vehicles for the American driver. Read on to find out which Chevy vehicles were named to "Best of 2018" lists!

Consumer Reports - 10 Top Picks of 2018: Best Cars of the Year

Consumer Reports went to great lengths to create their 10 Top Picks of 2018: Best Cars of the Year list and two Chevrolets were named among the best of the best. To do so, they assessed each new vehicle from all major motor brands in terms of reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety, while also putting the vehicle through an exhaustive road test. Vehicles that ranked spectacularly well in all four areas made the cut, and were named to their Best Cars of the Year list, including;

Best Large Car: 2018 Chevrolet Impala

"The Impala continues to be a gem among large cars, providing a driving experience that’s more akin to a luxury car. The controls are refreshingly intuitive and easy to use, including the feature-rich infotainment system. Its smooth ride is a true standout, soaking up bumps like a sponge. Those in the market would be wise to consider an Impala." - Consumer Reports

Best Compact Green Car: 2018 Chevrolet Bolt

"The Bolt proves that electric cars need not apologize for a lack of driving performance. This distinctive-looking hatchback delivers brisk acceleration and tight handling, plus a 250-mile electric range at a mainstream price." - Consumer Reports

Car and Driver - 2018 10Best Cars

A notable and well-respected automotive news and review organization, Car and Driver released their 2018 10Best Cars list recently, and two Chevy models made the cut. After two weeks of extensive hands-on evaluation of new 2018 model vehicles, Car and Driver experts drove and tested the sedans, trucks, and SUVs out on the track, checked out what was under the hood and inside the cabin, while also assessing the full functionality of their infotainment systems. The vehicles considered for this prestigious list must have a sale price under $80,000 and be either a returning winner, or an all-new or significantly revised model.

2018 Chevrolet Camaro V-6 / SS / ZL1 Coupes

"Imagine meeting Vin Diesel and discovering that he has a law degree, quotes Robert Frost, and speaks with an English accent worthy of royalty. Maybe he is all that; we don’t know—we’ve never met him. That’s the Camaro’s story as well: You can’t know it until you’re one on one with it, preferably on a challenging two-lane road. It is there that the Camaro will demolish your preconceptions, one corner at a time." - Car and Driver

2018 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

"The Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport needs little introduction as a mega-performance bargain worthy of our 10Best Cars list, and 2018 marks the second year in a row that the Grand Sport targa and convertible have made the cut. From its Lightning Lap exploits to our current long-term test car, it is a track-day thriller and an unflinching ally on winding back roads. Factor in impressive civility at a price that massively undercuts any exotic of similar dynamic capability, and the Grand Sport earns its place again for being one of the best sports-car buys available." - Car and Driver

U.S. News & World Report - The Best New Cars Arriving in 2018

U.S. News & World Report is a world renowned reporting authority, and their automotive branch recently released a list of The Best New Cars Arriving in 2018, which includes two Chevy models. Criteria for inclusion on the list requires the 2018 models to be all-new or significantly redesigned.

2018 Chevrolet Equinox

"Chevrolet’s redesigned Equinox is a safe bet if you are looking for a compact crossover that includes plenty of features." - U.S. News & World Report

2018 Chevrolet Traverse

"With class-leading cargo space, cavernous seating for up to eight, and lots of in-cabin storage, the Chevy Traverse is a great SUV. This large family hauler feels composed when driving, with easy steering and braking. The Traverse rides comfortably, even on rough pavement or while handling curves with enthusiasm. Technology features are intuitive, as well." -U.S. News & World Report

Chevrolet is proud to have multiple different 2018 models, such as the 2018 Camaro, 2018 Equinox, and 2018 Impala named to various "Best of 2018" lists, including the Good Housekeeping Institute's Best New Cars of 2018 list!

The all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is exceptional and designed with special attention to creating a tough, powerful, and capable truck. The new Silverado is up to 450 pounds lighter than previous models for improved performance and fuel economy and its 8 specialized trim levels are powered by six engine/transmission options. These options include the all-new Duramax 3.0L inline-six diesel and new 5.3L and 6.2L V-8s with industry-first Dynamic Fuel Management. The new 2019 Silverado also boasts best-in-class cargo volume in every bed length, with the short-box offering 63 cubic feet of volume, up to 20 percent more than a competitor’s short-box.

The 2019 Silverado will also have plenty of impressive technology and design features to improve the driver experience, including an available class-exclusive power up/down tailgate that can be operated from the key fob, interior button or by hand. Also, to honor its 100-year heritage, the “CHEVROLET” name stamped on the tailgate similar to the iconic Chevy trucks of the 1950s and ‘60s.

Experience Virtual Reality Vehicle Testing 

Those in attendance at NAIAS can experience what its like to ride along in a new Chevy on vehicle testing runs. The Chevrolet Virtual Dynamics Lab is a 4-D virtual reality experience that offers a 360-degree, front seat passenger ride through a variety of courses including gravel roads, extreme temperature labs and rock climbs that you would find at GM’s testing facilities, such as the Milford Proving Ground. Chevrolet has an unwavering commitment to designing high-quality vehicles for its customers and has them tested in chambers capable of simulating extreme environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, altitudes, humidity, and wind speeds in addition to their miles and miles of road testing. This virtual reality experience is a chance for Chevrolet to show its customers the various rigors that they put their vehicles through in order to produce the best sedans, trucks, and SUVs out on the road.

The Chevrolet Virtual Dynamics Lab 4-D experience will be open during normal hours on public show days.

The Camaro ZL1 is the first Chevrolet vehicle to feature the new quick-shift 10-speed automatic. This feature has 7.39 overall ratio for smaller shifts between gears. This keeps the Camaro at optimal rpm levels during acceleration when exiting corners and provides lightning-quick responses on up and down shifts.

Along with the new 2017 Camaro ZL1 coupe model, Chevrolet revealed the 2017 Camaro ZL1 convertible.

Will General Motors Create A Camaro Hybrid Option?

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - 2015 has definitely been the year of the sixth-generation Camaro — sorry Mustang — and now the rumors are starting to drift: will General Motors create a Camaro hybrid option? Many automotive insiders believe that this would be a very smart move for GM, but recently the engineering team at LSXtv stated that the hybrid Camaro might not be an option for a long time.

Now, could there be a day when a hybrid Camaro graces showroom floors? Yes. However don't hold your breath. Chevrolet and GM claim that Camaro as THE premier sports car, and a hybrid option just goes against the Camaro brand's identity.

The technology needed to implement a Hybrid system into a sports car like the Camaro is extremely difficult to produce, and would be an entry into an unknown realm of performance for Chevy. If hybridization does indeed occur in a GM sports car, we believe it would happen initially with the Corvette before the Camaro. Like it or not, the Camaro is indeed a true colloquial vehicle and a leap into the the hybrid territory would just be way too expensive for the immediate time period.

So, will General Motors create a Camaro hybrid option? Maybe, but as previously stated, don't hold your breath. Even though a Camaro hybrid does not make sense for the current market, we have TONS of exciting new and used models here at Graff Mt. Pleasant. Visit us at your Graff Mt. Pleasant Chevy Dealership located at 4580 E Pickard Rd in Mount Pleasant, Michigan 48858 or our Buick GMC Cadillac Dealershiplocated at 116 N. Mission St in Mount Pleasant, MI 48858.

GM Set To Reveal The New Sixth-Generation Camaro This Saturday

MT.PLEASANT, Mich. - Much to the enthusiasm of the automotive world, GM is set to reveal the new sixth-generation Camaro this Saturday. The new 2016 Camaro is Chevy's answer to the 50th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. In a back and forth war that has been going on since the beginning of the year, these three vehicles dominate the muscle car class, as they should.

The 2016 Camaro unveiling was opened up to the first 1000 individuals who registered via the #CAMAROSIX website, and all 1000 spots filled up in a little over 8 hours. Chevy spokesperson Monte Doran said, "We were very surprised. We thought it would take a few days or weeks to fill the available spots, so the response far exceeded our expectations!" Due to Chevy using already existing infrastructure for the Belle Isle Grand Prix, the auto company had to limit the reveal event to 1000 people.

But those lucky 1,000 fans will be in muscle car nirvana. In addition to the main event, those present will also be able to ride along on hot laps of the race course in the 2015 Camaro Z/28 models and take a parade lap in their own Camaros. Chevrolet is, smartly, veering away from the conventional approach to unveiling a new vehicle, which is usually done so at the traditional auto shows. An large treat for Camaro fans attending the event this weekend will also be the Camaro Museum on site, with over 20 cars ranging from the oldest production Camaro in existence, the 1967 Camaro VIN 16, or the original 2006 Camaro concept that preceded the fifth-gen model (the "Bumblebee" Camaro).

GM is set to reveal the new sixth-generation Camaro this Saturday. The 2016 Camaro will roll into dealerships this fall after a cross-country promo tour that will take it to the MLB All-Star Game in Cincinatti to "Camaro Fest" in Kentucky, and even back to Michigan for the Woodward Dream Cruise before making its final curtain call at the Los Angeles Auto Show. We are so excited, and CANNOT WAIT to see this amazing car!
