Chevrolet Impala SS Car of Tomorrow in 2007
Auto Car | Chevrolet Impala SS Car of Tomorrow in 2007 | Featured car racing series premiere NASCAR racing began to design all-new racing car in several places during the 2007 season. in this season of this vehicle dubbed the Car of Tomorrow (COT), this 'universal' race car designed to bring new safety innovations to drivers while also increasing the competition during the race. COT is also aimed at driving down costs for race teams, as the basic design makes it adaptable to various tracks, which means the team can build fewer cars for the season.
On March 26, 1955, the world of stock car racing changed forever. On that memorable day, Fonty Flock drove Frank Christian's 1955 Chevrolet to victory in a 200-lap Grand National race on a dusty half-mile oval in Columbia, S.C. It was Chevrolet's first NASCAR victory and the first major win for the legendary GM small-block V-8. It would not be the last.GM has produced nearly 90 million engines based on the small-block design – and a fair number of them ended up on race tracks. In fact, the GM small-block V-8 is the most successful production engine in motorsports history. This lightweight, high-revving engine dominated stock car competition for decades, eclipsed only during periods when the rulebook favored big-block powerplants.GM engineers kept the small-block V-8 forever young wîth a steady flow of new heavy-duty components. Improved blocks, free-breathing aluminum cylinder heads and forged-steel crankshafts maintained the little Chevy's place on the cutting edge. But as the all-conquering small-block approached its 40th birthday in 1995, GM Racing engineers realized that the venerable motor was reaching its limits.Work began on the small-block's successor, designated 'SB2' – shorthand for 'Small-Block – Second Generation.'
First presented to NASCAR officials in October 1995, the SB2 finally won approval for Nextel Cup competition at the start of the 1998 season. The SB2 was subsequently introduced to the Busch Grand National and Craftsman Truck series. The SB2 is a comprehensive engine package that was designed by GM Racing to improve durability,simplify preparation procedures and reduce the overall cost of building and maintaining a stock car racing engine. In short, the SB2 makes state-of-theart technology affordable and accessible.'The SB2 marked the first time in the history of the GM small-block V-8 that a package of engine components was specifically developed for NASCAR racing competition,' said Jim Covey, NASCAR engine development manager for GM Racing. 'GM had never designed a cylinder head specifically for a single four-barrel stock car engine. When the SB2 project began in earnest,we had an opportunity to make a significant improvement over existing engines.'The SB2's valves and intake runners are positioned to provide a direct line-of-sight path from the carburetor to the combustion chambers.
All eight intake ports are angled toward the center of the engine; the runners that supply the front cylinders are a mirror image of the ports that feed the rear cylinders. This innovative valve layout led to corresponding revisions in the small-block's camshaft, intake manifold, pistons, headers and valvetrain.The SB2's two-piece intake manifold comprises separate castings for the plenum/runner assembly and a lifter valley cover that incorporates the water crossover,water outlet and distributor mount. This two-piece design simplifies at-track service because the manifold section can be removed without draining the coolant or removing the distributor.When GM Racing engineers set out to build a better small-block, they enlisted the aid of NASCAR teams who build literally hundreds of competition engines every season. This partnership between racers and engineers benefited both groups. 'By working wîth GM teams from the very beginning of the project,we were able to meet their concerns about service and reliability issues that we may not have considered as designers,' Covey noted.Although the SB2 is firmly rooted in the classic small-block architecture, it is a purposeful and thoughtful revision designed specifically for NASCAR stock car racing.Working within the boundaries established by the rule makers, GM Racing created a two-valve pushrod V-8 for the 21st century.

“New features such as standard StabiliTrak are the latest in a history of industry-leading innovations,” said Peper. “The new Silverado represents the continuing evolution of Chevy’s strong pickup truck building heritage – a heritage recognized by generations of Chevy truck owners, many of whom have shared their stories with us and joined Silverado’s 200,000 mile club, an online community of Silverado owners.”The ’07 Silverado light-duty models are available in the fourth quarter of 2006. Heavy-duty models are available in the first quarter of 2007. There are three cab styles – regular, extended and crew cab – and three cargo box lengths: 5 foot 8 inches (short), 6 foot 6 inches (standard) and 8 foot (long). The pickup is available in three trim levels: WT, LT and LTZ, and is available in 2WD and 4WD. LS badging is available through an exterior styling option package on this year’s model.Pure pickup design
The all-new Silverado’s exterior design delivers on its reputation as the industry’s strongest, most dependable and longest-lasting pickup truck. It has a broad, chiseled face, which accents a broad-shouldered stance and gives the Silverado a powerful, muscular presence. The front-end appearance is unique to Silverado, including the front fenders, grille, headlamps, bumpers, power dome hood, tail lamps, box design and flared rear fenders.A large grille, wider and taller than previous models, and a prominent gold bow tie are flanked by premium-look, reflector-optics headlamps. The power dome hood rises from the front end, alluding to the workhorse power plant beneath it, and the fast, 57-degree sloped windshield conveys improved fuel economy due to enhanced aerodynamics. The large, vertically stacked headlamps are pushed to the outer edges of the body and have a detailed, jeweled appearance that reinforces the trucks’ refinement.
A chrome bumper is standard on LT trim level models, while LTZ trim level models receive body-color bumpers. The door handles are robust, grab-style designs, which are designed for easy use with gloves. The popular Z71 Off Road package returns with unique exterior appointments and body side identification.Silverado models are offeed with a range of 17-, 18- and 20-inch wheels. Eighteen-inch wheels are standard with the Z71 package. Twenty-inch wheels are available on LT and LTZ models.Nine exterior colors are offered: Dark Blue Metallic, Desert Brown Metallic, Greystone Metallic, Black, Blue Granite Metallic, Summit White, Silver Birch Metallic, Victory Red and Sport Red Metallic.Spacious, refined interio
The new Silverado features two completely distinct interiors to meet the diverse needs of today’s pickup consumer. The WT and LT trim levels feature the pure pickup interior and the LTZ trim level features the same luxury-inspired interior that is currently available on Chevrolet’s LTZ-trim full-size utilities.Silverado models are more spacious inside, with increased storage capacity. Spaciousness is enhanced with new, “low and forward” instrument panels. The instrument panel offered as part of the LTZ trim level is 5 inches lower and farther forward than the previous model. The WT and LT trim level features an instrument panel that is 3.5 inches lower and farther forward.The pure pickup interior offered on WT and LT trim levels features larger controls and door handles that are easier to use with gloves. A large-capacity, double glove box is integrated into the instrument panel. Cloth seats are standard on WT and LT models; leather seating is available on LT models along with a six-way, power-adjustable driver seat. A new, lockable in-seat storage bin is built into a new 40/20/40-split bench; it is large enough to store a laptop computer and features a 12-volt power outlet. WT models are offered in a Dark Titanium interior color; LT models are offered in Ebony or Ebony/Light Titanium and Ebony/Light Cashmere combinations.LTZ models feature a luxury-inspired interior with a unique instrument panel, door panels, larger-capacity center console that offers 20.1 liters of undivided storage and other distinct trim. A heated, 12-way, power-adjustable leather driver seat is standard, along with a six-disc CD/MP3-capable audio system, Bose speaker system and heated windshield washer system. Crew cab LTZ models add rain-sensing automatic windshield wipers, a rear-seat audio system and large glove box that offers approximately 5 liters of storage capacity. LTZ interior color schemes include Ebony, Dark Titanium/Light Titanium and Ebony/Light Cashmere combinations.
The rear seats for crew cab and extended cab models are improved with more supportive cushion material, firmer support structures and revised seat back angles. Extended cab models offer more legroom. Standard on crew cab models and available on extended cab models is a new, stadium-style rear seat with a 60/40-split design and folding center armrest. It can be easily folded up with one hand, without using a release handle, to provide an uninterrupted load floor. Or, either section of the split seat can be stowed independently, allowing room for both cargo and a rear-seat passenger.Entry to the rear seat/storage area of extended cab models is eased with new rear access doors that open 170 degrees. Power-operated rear side windows lower completely into the 170-degree access doors, providing 100 percent openness on LT and LTZ trim level vehicles. A power sliding rear window is available on extend cab and crew cab configurations with LT and LTZ trim levels.
