2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Suspension Bonney Lake Cars

The Corvette Z06’s racing-inspired suspension and aluminum frame with carbon fiber fenders and floor panels grant it a legendary curb weight of only 3,199 pounds. Thus, the Z06 is one of the lightest, most well-balanced supercars on the market today. The standard Corvette suspension is tuned with a balance of ride comfort and precise handling in mind. The optional Z16 Performance Package includes extra cooling, stiffer springs and stabilizer bars, shock absorbers, larger brakes with six-piston front and four-piston rear cross-drilled rotors, specific tires and Z16-specific six-speed manual when ordered with six-speed manual transmission, or a performance rear axle ratio when ordered with the six-speed paddle shift automatic. The Z06 offers standard 18″ front and 19″ rear 5 spoke aluminum wheels with many available upgrades. 

Magnetic Selective Ride Control (MSRC) suspension is available on the Corvette Z06. The MSRC option features magneto-rheological dampers able to detect road surfaces, and adjust the damping rates to those surfaces almost instantly for optimal ride control. The MSRC suspension option for the Corvette includes larger, cross-drilled brake rotors. MSRC allows the driver to stiffen suspension capability for twisty roads while providing a more compliant ride for city and highway driving with available Magnetic Selective Ride Control. There is an electromagnetic coil inside each damper piston. Particles in the shock fluid are capable of instantaneously bonding, thus allowing the fluid to become stiffen the shock’s damping. While on the other hand, when the electromagnetic field is reduced, the fluid flows liberally, granting effortless suspension movement. The MSRC system allows for two distinctly different cockpit settings: Tour and Sport. 
MSRC suspension on the Corvette Z06 also includes the Performance Traction Management system—which integrates Selective Ride, Traction Control and Active Handling Systems. The result of this system is the ability to easily and fully accelerate the Z06 while exiting a turn. The overall handling of the Z06 is also improved with this potent edition.

2012 Ford Mustang vs 2012 Chevrolet Camaro

2012 Camaro vs Ford Mustang
The Chevrolet Camaro has a competitive advantage in every category over the Ford Mustang. At Art Gamblin Motors we are very confident in the Camaro and below is just a sampling of why:

Safety: For improved safety, the Chevrolet Camaro’s rear seat shoulder belts have child comfort guides to move the belt to properly fit children. The Ford Mustang doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts. The Chevrolet Camaro has Daytime Running Lights to help keep it more visible under all conditions. The Mustang doesn’t offer Daytime Running Lights. Compared to metal, a plastic fuel tank can withstand harder, more intense impacts without leaking—decreasing the chance of a fire. The Camaro has a plastic gas tank, while the Ford Mustang has a metal gas tank.Reliability: The battery on the Camaro is in the trunk, which protects it from hot underhood temperatures, which will shorten battery life. The Mustang’s battery is in its hot engine compartment.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro
Engine: The Camaro simply has more powerful engines than the Mustang. The base level Camaro LS with a 3.6L DOHC V6 delivers 323 horsepower compared to the Mustang GT with a 3.7L DOHC V6 that offers only 305 horsepower. When we compare upper level models we see an even more distinct advantage in the Camaro. The Camaro 6.2L supercharged V8 delivers 580 horsepower. Mustang’s answer to this is its 5.4L supercharged V8 that delivers only 550 horsepower. That’s 30 horsepower less than the Camaro. Every Camaro engine model consistently outperforms its “comparable” Mustang counterpart from the entry level to the upper level—Camaro dominates the Mustang. 
The Camaro boasts a segment exclusive engine control system that can shut down half of the engine’s cylinders to improve the Camaro SS Automatic’s fuel efficiency. The Mustang doesn’t offer any comparable system. The Camaro Convertible’s standard fuel tank has 2.8 gallons more fuel capacity than the Mustang. The Camaro Coupe’s standard fuel tank has 3 gallons more fuel capacity than the Mustang. This means that driving range between fill-ups is much greater with the Camaro than the Mustang.2012 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Ride and handling: For superior ride and handling, the Chevrolet Camaro has fully independent front and rear suspensions. This allows the wheels to follow the road at the best angle for optimal traction while still maintaining ride comfort. The Ford Mustang has a solid rear axle, with a non-independent rear suspension—a simply inferior suspension system. Furthermore, the Camaro’s wheelbase is 5.2 inches longer than the Mustang’s wheelbase, which results in more stable handling and a smoother ride.For greater stopping power the Camaro’s brake rotors are larger than those on the Mustang. In an emergency stopping situation, many drivers don’t press the brakes hard enough to stop the vehicle in the shortest distance. That’s why the Camaro has a standard brake assist system to detect emergency braking situations that will automatically apply maximum braking immediately in order to help prevent a collision. The Mustang doesn’t offer any brake assist feature. For better handling and traction, the Camaro has larger standard and optional tires than the Mustang. The Camaro’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Mustang V6 standard 65 series tires. The Camaro ZL1 Coupe’s tires also have a lower 35 series profile than the Mustang GT500’s optional 40 series tires.
  2012 Chevrolet Camaro Comfort and ConvenienceThe Camaro uses gas struts to support its hood for easier service access. The Mustang uses a prop rod to support its heavy hood—so it takes two hands to open the hood and set the prop rod. Its prop rod gets in the way during maintenance and service so the prop rod could be knocked out resulting in the heavy hood falling on someone. In order to help each driver find a more comfortable driving position, the Camaro has a standard telescoping steering wheel. This is much better than just a tilt steering wheel or adjustable seat like the Mustang offers. Because the Mustang doesn’t offer a telescoping steering wheel drivers—especially shorter drivers—will find it difficult to find a comfortable driving position in the Mustang.The Camaro LT and SS offer an optional heads-up display which projects speed and other key instrumentation readouts onto the windshield, allowing drivers to view information while still keeping their eyes on the road. The Mustang doesn’t offer any heads-up display. The Camaro includes a standard automatic headlight on/off feature. When the ignition is on, the headlights automatically turn on at dusk and off after dawn. The Mustang only offers an automatic headlight on/off feature as an extra cost option. The Camaro LT and SS’ optional outside mirrors include heating elements better visibility. The Mustang doesn’t offer heated side mirrors at all.The Camaro LT and SS offer optional automatic dimming rear and side view mirrors that automatically darken when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Mustang fails to deliver dimming side mirrors. The Camaro also has more passenger and cargo room, which is why the Camaro is rated a Compact car by the EPA, while the Mustang is rated as only a Subcompact. The Camaro Coupe has 9.7 cubic feet more passenger volume, 1.6 inches more front shoulder room, along with more head and rear leg room than the Mustang Coupe. The Camaro Convertible also has 12 cubic feet more passenger space than the Mustang Convertible including more head, shoulder and leg room. 

 Warranty: In the end, you know that you are guaranteed nothing short of total excellence with the Camaro because it’s backed by the full confidence ofChevrolet’s industry-leading powertrain warranty—which covers the Camaro 40,000 miles longer than Ford covers the Mustang! The Camaro’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the Mustang’s. Clearly, if Ford was as confident in its Mustang as Chevrolet is in its Camaro, then Ford would offer an equivalent guarantee—but Ford doesn’t.The Chevrolet Camaro represents the pinnacle of muscle cars—with its striking and powerful exterior, luxurious and comfortable interior all wrapped up in a convenient and accessible package. This allows drivers to really tap into and make the most out of the remarkable power and performance of the Chevy Camaro. So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevrolet Camaro with us here in Enumclaw surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we treat all our customers as family.

Enumclaw Football Car Wash

Art Gamblin Motors hosted the 3rd annual Enumclaw High School Football car wash at the Truck Center on Saturday.  It was a great event for the Hornet Football team which put on the car wash to earn money for Summer Football Camp at the University of Puget Sound.  It was an all day affair for the football players as over 300 cars were washed.  The weather could have not been better, the sun was out and many of the players went home with sunburns.

Art Gamblin Motors Truck Center

Before the car wash even started each player was given tickets to go out and pre-sale.  Each ticket was sold for $10 and whatever the athlete earned went directly to their football camp budget.  Many of the players sold enough tickets to pay for all their camp which is in July.  Not only did Gamblin Motors host the car wash they added to the event by offering free car wash coupons to customers and facebook fans.  The Quick Lube joined in fundraising as they donated 10% of all sales to the Enumclaw Football Foundation.

The car wash lasted 8 hours with the seniors starting off the morning at 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM.  At 8:00 AM there was a line of cars piling up and this was a common theme through out the day.  The Sophomores relieved the Seniors and took the 10:00AM to 12:00 PM shift.  To take on the lunch rush was the Junior class which took over at 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM.  The newest addition to Enumclaw High School football closed out the car wash as the incoming freshman picked up washed mits and went to work.  The car wash ended around 4:00 PM and over 300 cars washed!

We hope you stopped by… If not there is always next year!
