CHEVY SPONSORS 'TOP 10 GREATEST DRIVING SONGS OF ALL TIME' . . . Chevrolet is sponsoring the "Top 10 Greatest Driving Songs of All Time" on VH1, featuring NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick tooling along the Jersey shore with a "veejay" from VH1. The duo discusses the top 10 songs as they head to the beach in a Corvette Convertible. The show will premiere on July 4 at 12:30 p.m. ET. It will be rebroadcast later in the evening at 1 a.m. ET, and also on July 7 at 10 a.m. ET, July 10 at 5 p.m. ET and July 12 at 12:30 p.m. ET. "The magic of the 'Top 10 Greatest Driving Songs of All Time' is that it allowed us to leverage three key existing assets in the Chevy marketing portfolio -- our status as an integral part of American culture, the legendary Corvette product and our relationship with NASCAR and Kevin Harvick," said Jim Jandasek, director of Chevy car advertising and sales promotion. Harvick drives the No. 29 GM Goodwrench Service Plus Monte Carlo in the Winston Cup series.
SILVERADO SS: CONTEMPORARY EXPRESSION OF CHEVY PERFORMANCE . . . The 2003 Silverado SS, the first of many SS models to return to the Chevy lineup, is an expression of contemporary Chevrolet performance that is within reach of many enthusiasts who drive pickups. The 2003 Silverado SS will be available in the U.S. and Canada beginning in the first quarter of next year. The Silverado SS, created from a 1500 extended cab short bed, is powered by a standard high-output LQ9 version of the Vortec 6000 V8, with 345 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque that provides Silverado SS with exhilarating off-line acceleration, relaxed cruising and dependable operation. It mates to a 4L65-E four-speed automatic overdrive transmission, with a 3.06 first gear and a 0.70 final gear ratio that contribute to the truck's impressive performance. Other features of the Silverado SS include: an exhaust system with a single, large 3.5-inch outlet pipe specially tuned for a throaty NASCAR-inspired roar; full-time AWD and locking rear differential; a Z60 high performance chassis package, including Silverado's largest-ever, 20-inch tires; a 4.10:1 final drive axle ratio and a Z82 heavy-duty trailering package; 20-inch five-spoke aluminum wheels; premium six-speaker Bose® audio system and GM's next-generation OnStar® system.
