Added Remy rebuilt Starters & Alternators to our line of LT5 parts today. NO EXCHANGE REQUIRED, keep your core.
http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=577 http://jerrysgaskets.com/store2/root...roducts_id=576 About REMY: Although REMY is not as well recognized as "ACDelco" or "DelcoRemy", it is nontheless, was part of the same GM Division. After 1994 spun-off the DelcoRemy group to private investors, GM retained the name ACDelco. The new parts division was ACG initially then Delphi which was subsequently sold in 1999.

"New" (2011) Grand Sport!
I've driven the LS3, Z51 C6 on the track a few times and I gotta tell you, I'm impressed. To this track rookies opinion, it's right there with the ZO6. Now on a long track, I would imagine the difference is much more. Add the ZO6 brakes, wheels & tires to the package & I can only imagine. Not that it would ever see a track, but it would "See the USA in a Chevrolet" 'sides that..... it sure is pretty.

Jerry:
I recently attended a course at Spring Mountain, in February. They have Z06's and Grand Sports as the track cars. I personally own a 2007 Z06, but most of the time at the track I drove the Grand Sport. I agree with your assesment that the GS is a great option and rivals the Z06, up to a point. I admit, I did like the GS and I think you will too. At the end of the day, I got a chance to put the new ZR1 on the course for a few laps and all I can say about that car is that it is scary fast!!!!

Jerry, Remy (Remy International) is about three minutes from me. I actually worked in Plant 11 and also Delphi Plant 20 during my manufacturing career. Anderson, IN. My entire family was salary at GM until it all left town.

Did I get the history & connections correct? I put that information on the website so customers would know the connection to ACDelco & DelcoRemy as a matter of quality assurance. Now, as I understand it GM's ACG/ACDelco is only the namesake of the original DelcoRemy Division, and now outsources from whereever.

Thanks for the report on the GS. Sounds like they have replaced the Z51's with the GS. Very cool. I need to go back out for Level II.

I've had two of my personal cars on Spring Mtn's playground. I can totally see why they made the GS...430 hp/tq is too much for the coupe's skinny tires sometimes when you're maxing out on a road course.
Fun, but maybe not as fun as flogging somebody else's vettes. |
