Impala’s 2.5L Engine Delivers Quiet Power, Fuel Efficiency to Corry, PA Residents

May 28, 2013 By Crotty Chevrolet Buick

Sedan benefits from powertrain refinement, computer-controlled valvetrain technology

Corry, Erie, Edinboro, and Warren area drivers of the new 2014 Chevrolet Impala will enjoy sweet sound and sweeter savings at the pump thanks to precision noise reduction and a new advanced valve train technology on the Ecotec 2.5L four-cylinder engine, arriving at Crotty Chevrolet Buick this month.

“Chevrolet has provided Corry, Erie, Edinboro, and Warren-area buyers with a variety of engines, appealing to a wide variety of needs,” said Robert Crotty of Crotty Chevrolet Buick. “Crotty Chevrolet Buick’s customers now have three engines to choose from, inducing the 2.5L model that offers great fuel savings and a great starting price of $27,535.”

Chevy Pickups 101: Busting Myths of Truck Aerodynamics

May 24, 2013 By Crotty Chevrolet Buick

2014 Silverado gains fuel economy, quietness for Corry area drivers

The all-new 2014 Silverado full-size pickup truck spent more development time in a wind tunnel than any Chevrolet pickup before it, resulting in design changes that benefits Corry, Erie, Warren and Jamestown, NY area drivers in both fuel efficiency and interior quietness.

To achieve improved airflow, aerodynamic engineers examined every millimeter of the truck to find areas of improvement, debunking some popular myths along the way.

To study the way air passes over, under and around the Silverado, engineers used General Motors’ state-of-the-art Aerodynamics Lab, a 750-foot-long tunnel through which a 43-foot-diameter fan powered by a DC electric motor with the equivalent of 4,500 horsepower can generate winds of up to 138 mph.

“The engineers at Chevrolet are always looking for ways to improve the vehicles our customers love,” said John Crotty of Crotty Chevrolet Buick. “Their aerodynamic advancements are just one reason why the 2014 Silverado will be the most fuel-efficient V-8 pickup in the Crotty Chevrolet Buick showroom.”

All are designed specifically for the high trailering and hauling demands unique to truck buyers.

Torque is the turning force that generates off-the-line acceleration and confident trailering performance. Silverado’s equipped with the 4.3L EcoTec3 V-6 will have trailering ratings up to 7,200 pounds (3,266 kg) for a regular cab, short bed, four-wheel-drive model – 500 pounds more than the most capable Ford F-150 3.7L and 700 pounds more than a Ram 1500 3.6L. Silverado’s standard V-6 produces an SAE-certified 285 horsepower (212 kW) and is matched with a proven, efficient six-speed automatic transmission. EPA fuel economy estimates will be released later.

2014 Camaro Z/28 the Most Track-capable Camaro Ever

March 27, 2013 By Crotty Chevrolet Buick

Chevrolet today introduced the restyled 2014 Camaro line at the New York Auto Show, including the return of the Z/28, the most iconic model in Camaro history.

The 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design that integrates high-performance aerodynamics for more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds. The new Camaro Z/28 also features a full aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed, which helps make it the most track-capable offering in Camaro’s history.

“As the ultimate track-capable Camaro, this car restores the mission of the original Z/28, and serves as a testament to the expertise of Chevrolet as the best-selling brand of performance cars,” said Mark Reuss, president, GM North America. “The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight, high-revving, dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers for track use; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.”

The first Camaro Z/28 was introduced in 1967, created to compete in the Sports Car Club of America’s Trans-Am 2 class. It featured a smaller, lighter, 302-cubic-inch V-8 for improved weight balance, as well as quick-ratio steering and a heavy-duty suspension for track use. In keeping with its road-racing focus, the 1967 Camaro Z/28 was not available with an automatic transmission or air conditioning.

While the new Camaro Z/28 is not intended to compete in a specific race series, it is solely focused on track capability. In initial testing, the Camaro Z/28 is three seconds faster per lap than the Camaro ZL1. That extra speed comes from three areas:

Increased grip: The Z/28 is capable of 1.05 g in cornering acceleration, due to comprehensive chassis revisions
Increased stopping power: the Z/28 features Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes capable of 1.5 g in deceleration, and consistent brake feel, lap after lap
Reduced curb weight: The naturally aspirated Z/28 weighs 300 pounds less than the supercharged Camaro ZL1, with changes ranging from lightweight wheels to thinner rear-window glass

Like the original, the 2014 Camaro Z/28 is offered only with a manual transmission. In a nod to modern convenience, air-conditioning is available, but only as an option.

“We set out to make the fastest road-racing Camaro possible that was still street-legal,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “While the Camaro ZL1 offers exceptional performance on the street, the drag strip, and the track, the Z/28 is entirely focused on the track performance. The Z/28 will be too track-focused for most drivers, but offers road-racers one of the most capable track cars ever offered from an automaker.”

The new 2014 Camaro line will arrive at Crotty Chevrolet Buick later in 2013. The Camaro Z/28 is expected to be appearing at track events across the United States in spring 2014.
