Blendmount Radar Detector Mount C6 Vette Valentine One on 2040-parts.com

Condition:Used Brand:Valentine One

This is an wonderfully made machined 6061-T6 aluminum bracket that attached to C6 Corvette (2005-2013) rear view mirrors to  hold a Valentine One Radar detector. IT IS FOR THE AUTO DIMMING MIRROR ONLY.  It is from the ID-CHE-006 Specialty series, the model is BV1-2006. The picture under the mirror is from the new mount made for the C7 (I know its a bad picture, mobile phone at night) but it does offer adjustment for different height drivers. You can buy a cable to plug into your mirror wire harness from Blendmount and the detector comes on as soon as you start the car. IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE POWER CABLE! I used it on the new Corvette. I had it in the car for 1.5 years and it never came loose. This is one nice design that will hold up to 1g turns! Original price was $129, but you won't have to spend that much. Happy bidding!

Them's the Breaks: Mercedes concept name razes I browse

Wed, 21 Apr 2010

Yes, yes, we know. The Mercedes-Benz use of the term “Shooting Break” as the name for its latest concept vehicle is, well, it's just so wrong. The traditional, and most people would say correct, spelling is “shooting brake.” As AW's copy chief, I take this sort of thing very much to heart and felt moved to respond to the yowling of readers on our Web site.

Volkswagen Golf R 400 Concept with 395bhp heading for Beijing

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

The VW Golf R 400 can hit 62mph in 3.9 seconds Volkswagen usually reserve their extreme concepts for the Worthersee Show, but they’re heading to next week’s Beijing Motor Show with a very extreme Golf R. The VW Golf R 400 Concept takes the regular Golf R – perhaps the most ‘grown-up’ hot hatch you can buy – and not only adds more power but extreme styling too. That means the 2.0 litre turbo 4-cylinder engine in the Golf R being crankes up to deliver 395bhp (400PS) which cuts the 0-62mph time by a full second over the production Golf R with the DSG ‘box to a supercar-bashing 3.9 seconds.

VW Phaeton - the new one coming in 2015

Wed, 21 Sep 2011

A brand new Volkswagen Phaeton Mk2 will be launched in 2015, based on a new architecture being masterminded by cousins Audi. Dubbed VW631, the new VW Phaeton will be based on MLM Evo (modular longitudinal matrix) which makes provision for a plug-in hybrid option, an aluminium-intensive body structure and a much more advanced and less nose-heavy dynamic layout. Although VW chairman Martin Winterkorn has in the past black-flagged the Avantissimo (A8-based) and the Passat Variant Plus (A6-derived), there is still a lot to be said for a second more practical bodystyle in addition to the four-door notch which is almost compulsory in this segment.
