Colorado ZR2 Race Parts Released by Chevy Performance

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- The Colorado ZR2's performance envelope grows once again with the introduction of 15 factory race components that were developed and validated with over 10,000 miles of off-road racing. These parts, created in partnership with Multimac and Hall Racing, elevate the ZR2's desert-running capabilities to new levels, and, for the first time, allow Chevy customers to build a Colorado with the same performance parts that raced and won in the desert. 

Renowned off-road driver Chad Hall, completed every race in the "Best in the Desert" series in a Colarado ZR2 throughout 2017 and 2018 to test the vehicle's desert racing capabilities. In addition, he used the ZR2 to pre-run the Baja 1000 race. This success grabbed public attention and soon Chevy customers began hounding Chad for advice on building their own "Hall Racing ZR2". Chevy responded with the production Colorado ZR2, which combines nimbleness and maneuverability with the most off-road technology of any vehicle in its segment. 

It features front and rear tracks that have been widened by 3.5 inches, and a 2 inch lifted suspension. Functional sliders provide more accurate performance over rocks and obstacles, and the front and rear bumpers have been modified for better off-road clearance. Its class-exclusive features include standard front and rear electronic locking differentials, an available diesel engine, and the first off-road application of DSSV damper technology. 

These parts are all available for individual purchase, or as a complete package, giving Chevy Performance customers the ability to either build their truck up over time, purchase whatever parts spark their particular interest, or to build an identical 'Hall Racing' ZR2. They go on sale between now and early 2019 and can be found here: https://bit.ly/2zRrH61

Chevy Celebrates the Colorado's 4th Birthday

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- November 2019 marks the 4th birthday of the Chevrolet Colorado. A segment redefining truck that took the US market by storm. To celebrate, Chevy is expanding the Colorado family with two 2019 special editions, the off-road Z71 Trail Runner and the street-focused RST. 

The Colorado has pushed GM up through the ranks as the most successful truck company for the past four years, selling 634, 505 more pickups than the closest manufacturer from 2013 until the first three quarters of 2018. "The success of Colorado helped reignite the midsize truck segment. It changed what customers expected from a midsize truck, brought new customers to Chevrolet and has inspired competitors to follow Chevy's lead" said Sandor Piszar, director of Marketing for Chevrolet Trucks. 

The Colorado's success has been fueled by one of the broadest lineups in the midsize segment - featuring three powertrains and configurations, in addition to a wide range of models and special editions. Both of the 2019 special releases feature the flow-through "CHEVROLET' lettered grille, first seen on the Colorado ZR2 Bison, which is also available as an accessory for an MSRP of $395 plus installation and tax. 

The Z71 Trail Runner features the Z71 off-road package and adds the ZR2's underbody protection. Additional changes include a stamped aluminum front and mid skid plates, functional rocker protection and Goodyear Duratrac tires. While the RST ramps up the street features offered on the Tahoe, Suburban, and all-new Silverado. With LT trim, monochromatic exterior offset, a black beltline, body side moldings, a black tailgate bowtie, Colorado and RST badges.

The 2019 COPO Camaro: Powerful Past, Fast Future

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- Chevy celebrates 50 years of the COPO Camaro legacy, a special order, performance model tradition, by unveiling the 2019 COPO Camaro at SEMA. The 2019 is a bonafide vintage throwback, featuring a special blue metallic exterior that pays homage to the original Laguna Blue offered in 1969, an orange engine block, chrome valve covers, and a black high-rise intake manifold. 


The COPO Camaro program got it's start in 1969 and was headed up by an Illinois Chevrolet dealer, Fred Gibb, who utilized the company's special order program to build the first recognized performance Camaro. The goal? To produce a car with more competitive edge in Stock Eliminator drag racing. Gibb installed the ZL1 427 engine which weighed 100 pounds less than the standard iron-based 396 Big Block engine, and created the perfect drag strip monster. 

Getting this project approved by Chevrolet was a large ordeal for Gibb. In order to make the engine eligible for NHRA competition, at least 50 models of the car were required to be offered for sale to the public. This might not sound like a large obstacle, but at the time, the suped-up muscle car was pricey, twice the cost of a standard Camaro kind of pricey. Surprisingly, he sold 13 models, and the other 37 were redistributed to other dealers. Word about the COPO Camaro spread quickly, and dealers began ordering models of their own. 

Since then, the COPO Camaro has become a yearly release tradition and has continued to advance the ever-growing hype around performance vehicles. The 2019 COPO Camaro includes a distinctive and model-specific front-end design, a revised version of the supercharged, LSX-based 350 engine featuring a 2.65L Magnuson supercharger in addition to a 302 cubic inch engine.

In keeping with tradition, only sixty-nine 2019 COPO Camaro race cars will be built. You can register for a chance to purchase one of your own here: https://bit.ly/2yXVIl1

Everything You Need to Know About No-Shave November

MT. PLEASANT, Mich -- Thanksgiving, football, and Christmas shopping is what usually comes to mind when you think November, but it's also No-Shave November! In the fall of 2009, the Hill family decided to honor their father who had passed away from colon cancer by creating the No-Shave November project. It started as an easy way for their Facebook followers to donate funds to cancer research, and in recent years has exploded into a nationwide celebration. Here at Graff Mt. Pleasant we're here to give you all the facts and information you need to do No-Shave November right.

The basic idea of No-Shave November is pretty self explanatory, forgo your usual grooming routine and embrace your hair for the many cancer patients that lose theirs due to intense treatments. However, in order to participate in No-Shave November in it's intended form, there's a little more work involved. 

Donate the cash you would usually use on razors, shaving cream, or salon grooming towards one of the three organizations funded by the No-Shave November project: Prevent Cancer Foundation, Fight Colorectal Cancer, and the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Spread awareness on social media by posting a photo of your new furry look with a few of the following hashtags:

These simple steps may not seem like they create much of a difference but every small act counts! In the course of this initiative's short history they've raised over $2 million dollars towards men's cancer research, and that's how we enact change. By banding together, and spreading awareness...one unshaved beard at a time.
