A snippet...<br />
&quot;The Volt takes it even farther with a dedicated iPhone and Android app where nearly anything can be set inside the car — like scheduled charging times and HVAC controls. Fun fact: Normal combustion engine vehicles like the Cruze are getting a similar app. It’s this attention to detail that validates all these little features.&quot;</div>

Anyone know anything about this car in regards to its specs? <br />
I know it's a 2.5L, 4sp-manual, Dual carb, Stage 2 clutch.  <br />
<br />
After restoration I was told these cars can be sold for a lot of money.</div>

			1990 Chevrolet Camaro, 1LE &quot;COPO&quot; with 5.7L! VIN:1G1FP238XLL134481.  This is an extremely RARE and 100% original 1990  1LE with 10,133 original MILES!  The 1LE's are referred to as the  Generation 3 &quot;COPO&quot; Camaro's.  Pristine red exterior with black “Custom  Cloth Bucket” interior. It is optioned with the larger highly desirable  5.7L (350ci) Tuned Port Motor (1 of 28) and is actually a “1 of 1” with  California Emissions and is appointed with the highly sought after  factory “radio delete”.   Just out of my Collection in  Original/Unrestored Condition, never modified museum/time capsule, right  down to the original Goodyear &quot;Gatorback&quot; tires.  This one is for the  serious Camaro enthusiast and collector. The right options, low  documented miles and one of a kind! This 1LE has a full pedigree of documentation since new correlated in a  leather binder, including all factory manuals, window sticker &amp;  build sheet. If you &quot;know&quot; what the 1LE's are, this car is a solid investment priced  to sell!

			Importer for the Swiss Sportec range of exclusive vehicle enhancements is pleased to announce the launch of a two stage performance enhancement program for the 4.8-liter twin-turbocharged four-wheel-drive Porsche Panamera.<br />
From the factory, the four-door Panamera produces 493 hp and 516 lbs.-ft., but through some careful development and testing using Sportec's state of the art dyno in Hori, Switzerland, Sportec's engineers have developed a pair of upgrade packages for owners seeking additional performance.<br />
<br />
Sportec's Stage One conversion for the Porsche Panamera uses a bespoke Sportec ECU remap with optimized settings for fuel, ignition, and turbo parameters. The results are a Panamera with a dyno proven 560 hp at 6,150 rpm, representing a healthy power hike of 67 hp, allied to 576 lbs.-ft. of torque at 3,340 rpm, an increase of 60 lb.-ft. over the standard car.<br />
<br />
On the road these performance gains endows the four-door 4,343-pound car with far greater real world pace. In private testing the Sportec Stage One upgraded Porsche Panamera has recorded a 0–62 mph time of 3.9 seconds, 0.3 seconds faster than standard. In the interests of safety, top speed is limited to 190 mph.<br />
<br />
Priced at £2,900.00 ($4,626) fitted, the Sportec Stage One upgrade for the Porsche Panamera Turbo is on sale now.<br />
<br />
Sportec's Stage Two conversion for the Panamera turbo features the addition of a stainless steel sports exhaust system, which features quad 90mm diameter Sportec engraved tail pipes, for a subtle and understated look. It also features a pair of “sound throttles,” which enable the owner to define and switch the exhaust note of the car in real time, using a supplied remote controller.<br />
<br />
In combination with the revised Sportec ECU remap, the Stage Two converted Panamera delivers 575 hp at 5,800 rpm, an improvement of 83 hp over the factory figures, matched to 598 lbs.-ft. between 3,000-4,250 rpm—an impressive gain of 83 lbs.-ft.<br />
<br />
This endows the Sportec Panamera with near supercar levels of speed, delivering an effortless surge of exhilarating performance from the twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V-8 engine and making both overtaking and fast cruising an effortless experience. Testing has revealed that Stage Two Sportec Panamera Turbo clocks a 0–62 mph time of 3.8 seconds, with the same limited top speed of 190 mph.<br />
<br />
Priced at £7,990.00 ($12,745) fitted, the Sportec Stage Two upgrade for the Porsche Panamera Turbo is on sale now.<br />
<br />
A full range of exclusive Sportec upgrades for the facelift Porsche Panamera range, including 22-inch forged alloy wheels, suspension and braking upgrades, as well as cosmetic enhancements, are also available.

			Following up on the 228-mph record-setting G-Power M5 Hurricane RS powered by a G-Power twin-supercharged engine, G-Power has done it again. But this time with 231 mph!<br />
A few weeks ago, the air is tight with tension when the G-Power engineers give their &quot;go&quot; for the M5 Hurricane RR to manage the ultimate test: a high-speed run. It takes only a few minutes to change the standard 20-inch G-Power forged wheels to 19-inch ones. The wheels, especially fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, are certified for top speeds of more than 229 mph. Just a few laps later it is done: a top speed of 231 mph. World record, once again.<br />
<br />
To achieve this extreme performance, the twin-supercharged system of the high-revving V-10 has been redesigned. The two superchargers in the RS have been replaced by larger units. The pre-compressed air from the superchargers is cooled for a maximum power output. The inner workings of the 10-cylinder four-valve engine are optimized by light, precisely balanced high-performance forged pistons with lower compression and increased mechanical strength. An optimized mapping of the engine electronics also contributes to the increased power output of 800 hp, available between 7,500 and 8,000 rpm. The engine delivers its peak of torque of 590 lbs.-ft. at 5,000 rpm.<br />
<br />
But the G-Power Hurricane RR does not only set new performance standards for top speed. With an acceleration of just 4.35 seconds from zero to 62 mph, 9.5 seconds up to 124 mph and 25.8 seconds up to 186 mph, the two-ton sedan is also leading his class.<br />
<br />
The G-Power technology is available for all current M5 and M6 models.<br />
<br />
In addition to the most powerful BMW engine ever being fitted to a street-legal BMW M5 a new aerodynamic for maximum efficiency was key. The Hurricane RR is equipped with the G-Power &quot;Highline&quot; body kit. In addition to provide the necessary downforce the body kit is also designed to provide significant more air flow to cool the engine. The body kit consists of front and rear skirts and spoilers, doors render, and the rear spoiler.<br />
<br />
Two tons of weight and a top speed of 231 mph naturally require extreme demands on the tires, being fitted on special G-Power forged wheels. Michelin provided high-performance Pilot Sport tires in the dimensions 255/35ZR-19 at the front axle and 305/30ZR-19 at the rear axle. For everyday use the G-Power Hurricane RR runs on 20-inch Silverstone CLUBSPORT wheels with the dimensions 245/35ZR-20 and 285/30ZR-20 front and rear.<br />
<br />
Even more contributions to the Hurricane RR's high-speed talents are coming from a G-Power high-performance brake system and the height-adjustable G-Power RS coilover suspension that is adjustable for both compression and rebound in nine settings.<br />
<br />
The interior of the record car features a tachometer reading up to 249 mph, clear-coated carbon-fiber panels for the dashboard, center console and door panels. An ergonomically shaped G-Power sports steering wheel with especially perforated Kjerba Nappa leather is completing this package.<br />
<br />
The G-Power Hurricane RR can be ordered as a complete car or any current M5 model—sedan or station wagon—can also be equipped with the individual G-Power components of the world record holder.<br />

			The one-off Pagani Zonda Tricolore was supposed to be the last Zonda ever built because its replacement, the C9, is going to be upon us very soon. Well, when you have enough money you can normally get any company to extend its production run by just one more unit. With that said we bring you the Pagani Zonda HH. A one-off model commissioned by David Heinemeier Hansson (thus the HH), an entrepreneur and successful software engineer. The car is a sort of mix between the Zonda Cinque Roadster (losing the center although not the two side intake snorkels and retaining the car&#8217;s center-locking wheels amongst other bits) and the Zonda F Roadster. It utilizes a 7.3-liter AMG-derived V-12 engine producing 678 hp and 575 lbs.-ft. of torque. With a mere 2,670 pounds to move thanks to extensive use of titanium and the carbon fiber body, the Zonda HH should hit 60 mph from a standstill in 3.4 seconds or less and nip at 220 mph. The rendering are of what David has so far agreed to but the final production could change as the build process begins. The car is painted in Lamborghini Monterey Blue with an exposed black carbon fiber strip running down the center of the car.

Do I have everything I need to get my car all purdy? Its been years since I&#8217;ve properly done a car I&#8217;ve usually done it completely by hand as I&#8217;ve rarely had access to a buffer. I understand the risks of using one, and I have used one before, but I&#8217;d like the proper instructions. <br />
  Let&#8217;s not discuss the brand, and whether or not I should have got something different. Its what I have, so I want to do the best job I can with it. Pretty sure I only need one of the polishes. My main concern is the rubbing compound. I don&#8217;t have any major gouges, so I&#8217;m not really sure if I should just skip that and go to the polish and then the glaze, or if it&#8217;s a good idea to compound first. The paint does not visibly appear to have any major oxidization either.  If I&#8217;m going to compound should I use a wool pad or is the foam compounding pad just as good or too aggressive?<br />
 Up until now its just been regular applications of Mothers Cleaner Wax. I'm not looking for the best of the best, I just want to give it a little tlc. I figure after the glaze I'd finish it with the insulator wax. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
  Any helpful links to videos or step by steps?</div>
