“Best vehicle buying experience yet. We have purchased and sold several vehicles and dread going to dealerships. However Burien made this experience quick and painless. Found the truck we wanted online but it was 3 hours north in Burien, WA. Called in the evening to verify it was available and Jason let us know it was. Told him we would drive up in the morning but it would take a few hours. We called him on our way and he verified it would be waiting for us and sent us pictures too. We took it for a quick test drive and started paperwork. We did not plan on trading our truck in at the time but they were able to offer us a price we thought was very fair. We were in and out in under a few hours (shortest buy/trade transaction to date). No additional markups/hidden equipment on top of what they listed online and we even received an extra discount they had from Costco. We love our new truck!”-Trina B.
“Not wanting to pay king county high sales tax my wife and I reluctantly drove to burien Chevrolet. Now we are glad we did. Right away Robbie And Andy his manager was right there to greet us making us feel like we were not only customers. But made us feel at home. If you plan on buying a car it will be fast and good service. I would definitely recommend this dealership.”-Steve L.
“Amazing service! I drove into Burien Chevrolet 3 months ago when I first started thinking about trading in my vehicle. I test drove a used Equinox and loved it. I didn’t want to jump the gun and purchase a vehicle on my first day looking. After spending the next few months searching around at other SUV’s and Equinox’s, I found another on their website that I LOVED. The vehicle had yet to be delivered to the dealership, but the second it was, Jason, my sales rep, reached out and helped me get through all the necessary documents before driving 2 hours to the dealership. After giving them everything they needed, I had an offer from a bank in less than thirty minutes! I was in the dealership for less than an hour and only spent MAYBE 10 minutes waiting around for final numbers. Kevin, the gentleman who did my financing, had all the paperwork done and the vehicle was completely detailed and safety checked before I pulled into the lot. This was the most seamless and effortless experience I have ever had at a dealership and I drove off in a new 2021 Chevy Equinox! I can’t thank Jason or Kevin enough for going out of their way and staying after closing to help me get into a new vehicle.”-Kass K.

Mapping Speed
This is part of a feature article in New Roads Magazine, Chevrolet’s online lifestyle publication. This excerpt only includes the racetrack nearest Burien Chevrolet, but see the full article for their complete list and descriptions.
No matter where you reside in the U.S., there’s almost certainly a historic, challenging, or simply beautiful racetrack nearby. Take a trip to one and make a memory.
A Sunday drive can be good for the soul — a nice way to get out into the world even during times with limited options to do so. But for as much fun as it is, a quick drive is no substitute for a proper weekend getaway. By the same token, enjoying your Corvette or Camaro on a bit of country road or length of open highway (within reason, of course) isn’t the same as taking your Chevrolet performance car to the racetrack.
You might assume track days are more expensive than they actually are, or that any track worth the trip is too far away or so remote as to offer nothing in the way of vacation interests for the rest of the family. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are tracks all over America catering to all skill levels, with configurations to challenge novices and experienced drivers alike.
Fact is, if you’re reading this in the continental U.S., you’re likely within a day’s drive of a great racetrack. Many are located near major cities or areas friendly and of interest to tourists. As a bonus, many feature track days run by a regional or national Chevy-centric club.
A weekend getaway — or indeed, even a longer vacation — to one of America’s great racetracks is a way to unwind, see more of the country, have fun with the family, make new friends, and get more involved in the Chevrolet enthusiast community. That’s not to mention the perks of becoming a more skillful, experienced driver. Let’s scout out some of the best tracks you can visit, spread out across the country.
BUTTONWILLOW RACEWAY PARK: RACEWAY #1
Buttonwillow Raceway Park, about 150 miles north of LA, is somewhat remote but still only a couple hours from the Paso Robles wine region and top-notch surfing at San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach.
Buttonwillow is unique in that it’s really three tracks in one that can be configured into over 40 different courses (we’re looking at the “Race #1” setup here). Fair warning: The track doesn’t use official turn numbering either, leading to some discrepancies map to map. Some turns can be banked up to 10 percent, while others have negative camber, and quick elevation changes can develop a full skillset. Get on track with companies like Speed Ventures, or bring your car to Buttonwillow’s Performance Driving Clinic.

What are some of your favorite holiday appetizers?
We are all doing more cooking this time of year, which means more errands. More car loads. Needing more IN our vehicles and FROM our vehicles. Read the experience of Chef Kim about her week-long test drive of the 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS as published in the New Roads Chevrolet online magazine!
One Week with a Trailblazer RS
Chef Kim is passionate about sourcing the tastiest in-season produce for her restaurant, in tandem with local growers. We loaned her a 2021 Trailblazer RS to help get from farm to table with ease.
Trying to explain the vision for her restaurant, Miss Kim, can be tricky, so chef and managing partner Ji Hye Kim sums it up in two simple sentences. “I tell people that it’s as much a Michigan restaurant as it is a Korean restaurant,” she says. “Our food is inspired by Korean grandmothers and by Michigan farmers.”
That dedication to fresh, locally sourced produce while respecting her Korean heritage and the home-cooked meals from her youth keeps Chef Kim busy around her home of Ann Arbor, Michigan. “I have to run errands all the time if I want to buy one little ingredient to test a recipe, or if we run out of something,” she says.
Her efforts have paid off not only in a happy and well-fed clientele — even after a challenging year for restaurants during the pandemic — but also in professional recognition, with Miss Kim named a semifinalist for the 2020 James Beard culinary awards.
While Ann Arbor’s 100-year-old farmers market is just blocks from her restaurant, Kim spends plenty of time on the road visiting local food suppliers and farms. Those shopping trips inform Miss Kim’s recipes — not the other way around. They also were inspiration for some delectable recipes Kim is sharing with New Roads readers just in time to add a touch of Korean flavor to your holiday table.
“My favorite thing is to walk through the farmers market to see what’s in season and what strikes my fancy, and that gets my mind turning on the next item I’m going to put on the menu,” she says.
She also shops the nearby Argus Farm Stop, which sells items from more than 200 area farmers. Thanks to her experience and connections with local farmers, Kim says she can often tell which farms the vegetables are from by look, feel, or taste.
Unlike some chefs who began stirring and chopping as soon as they could walk, Kim didn’t start cooking until later in life. Growing up in South Korea, Kim says her mother didn’t let her in the kitchen: “She’s pretty possessive of the kitchen. She’s known as the best cook in the family.”
Despite working in restaurants after she moved to New Jersey as a teenager, Kim wasn’t bitten by the culinary bug until much later. At dinner parties, she realized that even if the conversation was boring, delicious food kept her attention. Almost on a whim, she decided to leave her corporate career and got a job at Ann Arbor staple Zingerman’s Deli. “I took a 90-percent pay cut,” Kim says. “That’s not hyperbole — I did the math.”
But what she gave up in salary was more than made up for in experiences. Starting off in the bread department and spending some time selling specialty cheeses, she began to build up her culinary skills and know-how in running a kitchen. After a few years, Kim took advantage of Zingerman’s entrepreneurship program and, with a partner, opened a local food cart called San Street. It was a lower-risk way for Kim to gain firsthand experience cooking and operating her own business.
With the food cart running from April through October, Kim used winters to intern at restaurants and kitchens around the country. But she credits her most formative cooking experience to spending time overseas at the Rome Sustainable Food Project.
“That’s when I saw local farmers bringing in vegetables every day,” she recalls. “It played a lot into how I perceive food and work in a restaurant with local farmers, and just being conscious of sustainability.”
Returning to the U.S., Kim again worked with Zingerman’s to launch Miss Kim. The restaurant has a cute patio outdoors and a cozy interior with tall ceilings and painted-brick walls. Located in Ann Arbor’s historic Kerrytown district, it’s surrounded by cobblestone streets lined with other independent businesses.
To help this busy chef keep her business humming, we loaned her a 2021 Trailblazer RS for a week of ingredient shopping, delivering finished meals, and everything in between. It turns out the crossover’s ample cargo space served up a just-right cocktail of utility for Kim’s lifestyle.
“My favorite part is the versatility,” says Kim. “Trailblazer’s back seat is spacious, so I can give my staff members a ride home, but then I can also easily fold the seats down, and I have a huge cargo area for when I’m catering or transporting ingredients.”
With the busy streets and tight parking spots of the area, Kim especially appreciated the Trailblazer’s city-appropriate size and easy maneuverability. “The Trailblazer has a pretty tight turning radius,” she says. “It’s pretty nimble.”
When she had to drive farther to source ingredients or visit other restaurants in nearby areas, Kim appreciated Trailblazer’s standard Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning,† as well as the ability to project the navigation app from her smartphone right to the vehicle’s infotainment screen.
“This is the first time I’ve used Apple CarPlay,®† and I thought it was super helpful,” she says. “It was nice to be able to put my phone down and still be able to see directions on the screen.”
Plus, Trailblazer’s powerful yet fuel-efficient† engine meant she could take less time out of her busy schedule for gas stops: “I’ve been driving all over for errands, and it’s definitely not a gas guzzler.”
All told, Trailblazer was a big hit with Kim as she juggled the many demands of running her popular restaurant. “It’s sort of the best of both worlds,” she says of the SUV, “because I can transport all the cargo that I need for the restaurant, but it’s not so big that I find it difficult to drive or to fit into my routine.”
5 Tips for Driving Safely During Rainy Season
Here in Western Washington, we’re used to the rain. We have to learn to play, work, and drive in the rain because life can’t stop when we get some (more) of that liquid sunshine. But it’s important not to become complacent while driving in the rain and to remember a few important key tips to keep you driving safely on your way.
Here are 5 things you can do to driver more safely in our rainiest seasons:
Prepare Your Vehicle
Make sure your windshield wipers work or replace them if needed. Make sure you are able to defrost your vehicle so you can see clearly out all the windows. Replace any head or tail lights as necessary and keep plenty of gasoline in your tank. If you aren’t 100% confident in your vehicle, give us a call to make an appointment with our service department!
Don’t Drive Through Standing Water
You see the signs and hear the warnings: don’t drown, turn around. Already this rainy season we have been hit with a couple serious rain storms that have left many roads underwater. Do NOT try to drive through water on the road or go around signs blocking roads. It isn’t worth the risk to your life or your vehicle. It seems that no matter how many times we read/hear the warnings, there are always people who ignore them and require rescuing by first responders.
Slow Down
If you’ve been driving for any length of time, you know the terror that comes from hydroplaning, which occurs when your car is driving a high rate of speed and goes on top of standing road water…and results in you losing control of your vehicle. Sometimes it is difficult to see where there might be standing water on the road, so it’s a good idea to slow down no matter what. Driving slower also makes it so your vehicle can slow down without sliding/skidding on the wet road, which has less traction.
Don’t Use Cruise Control
It’s tempting to use your vehicle’s cruise control option whenever you can, but it is important NOT to use it when driving in the rain. Why? The cruise control will keep your wheels turning at the same speed no matter what is happening…even if you hit standing water. Instinctually, we can feel when our vehicle goes over standing water and, hopefully, can slow down quickly enough that the vehicle stops hydroplaning and we regain control. Or if we feel the water is suddenly slippery, we can instantly slow down by taking our foot off the gas a little. When we use cruise control, it is always full-steam ahead.
Use Headlights
Even in the middle of the day, using your headlights makes your vehicle easier to see in the rain. Those dark rain clouds and reflections off the rain/wet road can make it difficult for you to see…and for people to see you! Help prevent someone from turning out in front of you at the last minute or stepping off the curb in front of you by turning on your headlights any time it starts raining.
Holiday Recipe: The Christmas Margarita
Almost everyone loves Christmas…and almost everyone loves a margarita, but people don’t usually think of margaritas as a Christmas drink. The cooks at A Couple of Cooks have solved this problem with their recipe for the Christmas Margarita drink!
You don’t have to wait until sunnier weather or that tropical vacation to enjoy a margarita and we’re pretty sure any party guests will appreciate an excuse to have a margarita during the holiday season. Because it’s a Christmas Margarita!
This what you need to make your own Christmas Margaritas for a gathering or just for yourself while you watch Hallmark movies:
- 100% cranberry juice
- Tequila (use blanco or reposado)
- Cointreau
- Fresh lime juice
- Simple syrup or maple syrup

Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 clinched Best In The Desert class championships with respective wins at the Cal City Desert Challenge.
It was the second consecutive championship for the Silverado ZR2 and the fourth straight championship for the Colorado ZR2, with both fielded by Chad Hall Racing.
“It has been another expectation-shattering season, with the championships for the Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2,” said Roger McCormack, director, Accessories and Performance Parts Marketing. “The successes for both vehicles, which are very close to the production models, wouldn’t have been possible without the closely synced relationship between Chad Hall Racing and the Chevrolet engineering team.”
Chad Hall Racing has been competing with a pre-production version of the Silverado ZR2 since 2019, helping Chevrolet test and validate the off-road technologies that went into the upcoming 2022 production model.
Similarly, the team helped test the Chevy Colorado ZR2 off-road technologies in competition — and is still going strong with them. The Chad Hall Racing Colorado ZR2 has been competing since 2017 in the Best In The Desert series and is the only truck in its class to have finished every race entered. It has accumulated more than 22,500 miles of racing experience.
“It has been very rewarding to field vehicles that are so well engineered,” said Chad Hall. “The tests and refinements made over the years with the Colorado ZR2 and the new Silverado ZR2 absolutely prove the adage that racing improves the breed — making the production vehicles stronger and more capable because of it.”
The Colorado ZR2 race vehicle also helped test and validate 15 factory race components that are available to Colorado owners through Chevrolet dealers. They include Multimatic long-travel DSSV dampers and long-travel leaf springs, jounce shocks, a steel driveshaft, a tie rod sleeve system, ball-spline half-shafts and other parts designed to optimize off-road driving performance and durability.
Similar components have been developed for the Silverado, including long-travel suspension parts and a steel driveshaft, which were recently introduced at the 2021 SEMA Show.
“Performance and personalization upgrades are increasingly popular with customers and Chevrolet has what they need to take their off-road vehicles to the next level,” said McCormack. “Better yet, these factory-engineered parts are tuned and validated over thousands of combined off-road development miles, including unforgiving Best In The Desert race courses.”
More details on the Colorado and Silverado parts are available at www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts.
Chad Hall Racing and the Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 race vehicles will be back in action on Dec. 3, in the Mint 400, an independent race held on the outskirts of Las Vegas. The team will also attend the Best In The Desert awards ceremony on Dec. 11, capping another winning season and looking toward another in 2022.
Chevrolet Performance and Motortrend Join Forces to Electrify the “Project X” 1957 Chevrolet
The pioneering project car gets plugged into the EV era with a 340-horsepower, 400-volt battery-electric powertrain
The iconic 1957 Chevy known as Project X drives into the future today as the car makes its debut, powered by an electric motor that delivers an estimated 340 horsepower. The latest reinvention of the famous HOT ROD project car is the result of a collaboration between Chevrolet Performance, MotorTrend and Cagnazzi Racing. Unveiled at the SEMA show, Project X proves that the electric future of driving doesn’t require leaving the past behind.
Originally purchased for $250 in 1965, Project X has served as a testbed for more than five decades as editors ofMotorTrend’s HOT ROD brand have evaluated new products, technologies and trends. Over the years, it has been powered by inline-six and V-8 engines, and has at times used carburetors, fuel injection and supercharging. The classic ’57 has been reimagined so often and so extensively that it has been called the million-dollar Chevy.
“Project X has always served the car community by pushing the envelope with groundbreaking technologies,” said Douglas Glad, group content director, MotorTrend Group. “As the auto industry shifts rapidly toward electric vehicles, this Project X build is just the latest in its celebrated legacy of adapting hot rodding to the powerful technology of tomorrow.”
For the latest incarnation, builder Cagnazzi Racing replaced Project X’s supercharged LSX V-8 with an electric motor that delivers an estimated 340 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. The battery, which is being evaluated for potential use as a next-generation Chevrolet Performance product, has been developed around a modular concept that could allow customers to scale the pack capacity based on range, cost, packaging and weight considerations. In Project X, the 400-volt proof-of-concept lithium-ion battery stores 30 kilowatt-hours of electricity, providing enough range for weekend cruising. A quick-change differential allows the final-drive ratio to be adjusted based on how the car is being used. Fitting the differential with a shorter final-drive ratio provides quicker acceleration while using a taller gear relaxes performance and extends the range.
“The reinvention of Project X is a reminder that our vision for a world with zero emissions includes classics like the Tri-Five Chevys,” said Prashant Ahire, eCrate regional chief engineer. “As General Motors rolls out its trailblazing EV technology, Chevrolet Performance plans to offer EV propulsion solutions for enthusiasts looking to modernize their project cars.”
Cagnazzi Racing performed the motor swap in its Mooresville, North Carolina, shop. The EV conversion also necessitated a switch to an electric brake booster and electrohydraulic power steering pump. Project X still rides on the sixth-generation Corvette front suspension that was installed in 2007, although there have been some changes. The removal of the exhaust system allowed the team to lower the car by roughly 2 inches. Project X has also been fitted with softer front springs and stiffer rear springs since the electrified car carries less weight under the hood and more weight over the rear axle compared with the previous build.
“We are racers and hot rodders, with deep roots in internal-combustion racing engines,” said Vic Cagnazzi, owner of Cagnazzi Racing. “But we see this next leap into EV performance propulsion as a natural evolution for hot rodding. Our goal with this conversion was to maintain the look and integrity of the classic hot rod, while modernizing the propulsion technology.”
To that end, Project X still has the same classic look that it’s worn for decades. The biggest aesthetic change is found inside the car: Project X now uses the same push-button gear selector as the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette. It’s a subtle clue that this timeless project car is once again doing things differently.

‘The Chevy Beast’ Storms SEMA Show
Chevrolet drives into the SEMA Show this week led by The Chevy Beast — a concept vision of the ultimate in high-performance desert running.
Conceived to demonstrate the capability of Chevy trucks and Chevrolet Performance components, The Chevy Beast concept is a four-passenger off-roader that’s based on a modified Silverado chassis, wears a customized pickup body and is powered by a Chevrolet Performance LT4 650-horsepower supercharged crate engine.
“The Chevy Beast concept takes the popularity of high-performance off-road trucks to the next level,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of Performance and Motorsports. “It’s a vision for a new dimension of Chevrolet Performance capability from a brand that’s been pioneering performance and supporting customer personalization for more than 50 years.”
Expanded dimensions of Chevy Trucks’ capability are explored in several additional trucks and SUVs on display at the SEMA Show, including:
- 2022 Silverado ZR2
- 2022 Silverado High Country Midnight Concept
- 2022 Silverado 3500HD Hoonigan Concept
- 2022 Colorado ZR2 Extreme Off-Road
- 2022 Colorado Z71 Off-Road Performance Edition
- 2022 Tahoe Z71 Overlanding Concept
- 2021 Suburban Street Concept
More details on all the Chevrolet vehicles and accessories at SEMA are available www.ChevySEMA.com.
Superior capability, control and performance
The Chevy Beast was designed to dominate the desert with capabilities, control and performance rooted in a production-based foundation and off-the-shelf performance enhancements.
Designers and engineers started with the chassis of a Silverado short-bed model and modified it for high-speed desert running. The frame was shortened and a custom-designed, 4130 chromoly tubular safety structure was integrated while the modified chassis was wrapped with a custom, lightweight body.
A concept, long-travel off-road suspension system was also created for the vehicle, including a five-link rear suspension. Along with a widened, 91-inch track, it contributes to more stable handling and optimal driver control during high-speed off-road driving.
“There’s nothing else like The Chevy Beast,” says Jeff Trush, GM program manager, Pace Car and Specialty Show Vehicles. “It delivers a ton of performance and capability, which makes it adept at conquering rough terrain — and it flat-out flies in desert running.”
That high-speed capability is derived from a Chevrolet Performance LT4 crate engine1 — a 6.2L supercharged V-8 that’s rated at 650 hp. It’s backed by a 10L90 10-speed automatic transmission that sends torque to a two-speed transfer case and distributes it to 37-inch-tall off-road tires mounted on 20-inch beadlock wheels. The concept also includes the Chevrolet Performance Big Brake Upgrade System.
The Chevy Beast’s impressive capability is complemented with equally dramatic and purposeful style. Tubular doors and a simple, lightweight clamshell-type front end reflect the functionality and aesthetic of desert running while the rear of the vehicle was intentionally designed with almost no overhang to maximize the angle of attack on steep grades.
A pair of spare tires are mounted in the bed while the rear of the vehicle itself is left open to help extract dust. Additional unique design cues include a custom front grille, front and rear bowtie emblems and powerful off-road lighting from Baja Designs®.
Inside, the customized cab has a minimalist, functional design, featuring a quartet of Recaro® performance seats with four-point harnesses, as well as a pair of 7-inch-diagonal LCD screens that monitor vehicle functions and performance data, including pitch and roll during off-road driving scenarios.
“The Chevy Beast concept sets a new standard for off-road performance,” said Trush.

2022 Silverado 3500HD Hoonigan concept — Serving as the tow vehicle for the 1988 Camaro Hoonigan concept, the 2022 Silverado 3500HD Hoonigan concept truck is based on a High Country Crew Cab model and powered by the Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V-8 engine. The concept is based on the strongest, most capable Silverado ever and employs advanced trailering3 technology, with up to 15 available camera views4 and an Advanced Trailering System. This concept version is also outfitted with Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep Package, along with a number of accessories and custom graphics that give it a distinctive appearance.
2022 Colorado ZR2 Extreme Off-Road — Since 2017, the Colorado ZR2 has been a force in the Best in the Desert racing series, with Chad Hall Racing using the production-based truck to help validate production and performance parts. In fact, it is the only truck in its class to have finished every race entered, and it has accumulated more than 22,500 miles of racing experience. This production-based Colorado ZR2 Extreme Off-Road is a reflection of that real-world experience and showcases the extensive roster of competition-proven parts available from Chevrolet Performance, including front and rear jounce shocks, long-travel shock kits, long-travel leaf springs, an anti-wrap link system and more.
2022 Colorado Z71 Off-Road Performance Edition — This production-based Colorado Z71 pushes its off-road capability nearly to a ZR2 level thanks to the available Trail Boss Package that includes a 1-inch suspension leveling kit, front and mid-vehicle skid plates, 17-inch wheels in Gloss Black, red tow hooks and the elimination of the front air dam. It also demonstrates the overlanding and camping capabilities enabled by a number of Chevrolet Accessories and Chevrolet Performance components, all of which are available through the Chevrolet dealer, including a High Country 55-inch Rooftop Tent by Freespirit Recreation5, a camp kitchen and more.
2022 Tahoe Z71 Overlanding concept — Envisioned as the go-anywhere SUV for adventure and discovery, this concept builds on the Tahoe Z71’s capability, including the available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, and augments it with 33-inch tires mounted on concept 18-inch beadlock wheels, an Off Road Recovery Kit, auxiliary A-pillar off-road lights, a lifted suspension and AirDesign6 fender flares, as well as a Dometic powered dual-zone cooler and Freespirit Recreation 55-inch rooftop tent. The concept also strikes a more distinctive pose with black nameplates, a Front Illuminated Bowtie emblem in black, and Illuminated Front and Rear Door Sill Plates with Tahoe Script, all available from Chevrolet Accessories.
2021 Suburban Street concept — Chevrolet Performance engineers elevated the stature of this Suburban concept by lowering its ride height thanks to the adjustable settings of its available Four Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. A set of 24-inch, custom-cut and polished billet aluminum wheels wrapped with 285/30R24 Pirelli tires complete the streetwise stance and is complemented with an available Chevrolet Performance Brembo® brake upgrade system. Select Chevrolet Accessories and Performance parts also were used to distinguish this stylized vision, including black mirror caps and badge, an all-new black grille with the Chevrolet script, matte black hood decal and Bowtie-logo puddle lamps. Inside are illuminated door sills, an illuminated liftgate sill plate, cargo organizer and sport pedals.
SuperMatic™ 6L80-E 4WD Transmission
For off-road project vehicle builders, Chevrolet Performance also introduced the advanced SuperMatic™ 6L80-E six-speed automatic transmission for 4WD applications. It has the same 650-lb-ft torque rating as the rear-wheel-drive 6L80-E and works with Chevy’s Connect & Cruise Crate Powertrain System for plug-and-play compatibility with LS crate engines1. The 4WD-specific tail mount allows customers to pair the transmission with a transfer case. Two kits are available: one with a 2,400-rpm stall converter and the other with a 3,000-rpm stall converter.
Chevrolet’s concepts, show vehicles, performance parts and accessories are on display at the SEMA Show, in Las Vegas, through Nov.5. See more at www.ChevySEMA.com.
