Chevrolet Performance Wows at SEMA

In December 2013, the Chevrolet Performance media event the night before the SEMA show in Las Vegas was star-studded, both in the form of several celebrities who were present, as while as our great line of Chevrolet vehicles for McKinney drivers. Celebrities ranged from country music stars to NASCAR drivers, making for a wonderful evening where our vehicles made a great impression on the audience.

The hour-long event gave the audience a glimpse of all of the concept vehicles that will be at Chevrolet Performance’s SEMA booth, as well as the concept performance parts for 2014. Two vehicles clearly stole the show: the Silverado and Corvette Stingray, which won the 2014 North American Car and Truck of the Year awards, a huge milestone for Chevrolet and the citizens of Paris, Texas, who love their Chevy vehicles.

One of the concept vehicles showcased was the Chevrolet Cheyenne, which is an exploration of just how fast a sport truck can be. Extensive use of carbon fiber sheds 200 pounds of weight from the truck, while a 6.2L V-8 provides 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque to move the new svelte body down the tarmac at blazing speeds. If produced, this vehicle will likely be popular among Whitesboro Chevrolet owners. 

The biggest announcement for 2014 on the parts front is the expansion of the Camaro-specific performance upgrade parts program. McKinney Chevrolet Camaro owners will be very happy about the new line of parts available over the course of this year. On the other end of the parts spectrum, we are now offering a wide selection of parts on the Sonic. These upgrades to the 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan range from a cold air intake and a new freer-flowing exhaust, to suspension upgrades, alloy wheels, and upgraded brakes. Whitesboro drivers who prefer the Chevrolet Sonic will likely be very happy about this announcement.

The 2013 SEMA show proved to be another big one for announcements at Chevrolet. A slew of concept vehicles, the announcement of many new parts for 2014, and of course the return of the COPO will mean big things are coming from the brand in 2014. There is no better time to be driving a Chevrolet, whether you live in McKinney, Whitesboro, or Paris, Texas!

Chevrolet Diesel Vehicles At Ramey Chevrolet

While Diesel vehicles sometimes receive a negative stigma, they can actually increase performance and efficiency, without making the perceived large negative impact on the environment of McKinney. If you’ve looking to get more out of your car than traditional gasoline power can offer, consider a Chevrolet diesel vehicle. 

Chevrolet currently has three diesel options available - the Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel, as well as two variations of the Silver ado. So if you’re looking for a diesel car or truck to drive in Whitesboro, Chevrolet has got you covered!

Clean diesel vehicles are shown to offer better highway fuel economy than any gas only or diesel vehicle on the road, while at the same time generating a minimum of 90% less Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions and particulate emissions when compared to previous-generation diesels. The 2.0L turbocharged clean diesel engine on the Cruze boasts a SAE-certified 151 horsepower and 264 lb. ft. of “low-end” torque, which is more than the competing Volkswagen Jetta TDI. The Chevrolet Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel is an excellent investment for Chevrolet McKinney drivers, especially those who commute regularly to Downtown Dallas.

The two diesel editions of the Chevrolet Silverado are the 2500 and 3500 HD, both of which are perfect for Whitesboro farmers, ranchers, and construction workers, among many others. Both trucks provide indisputable heavy-duty capability with cleaner fuel efficiency that generates 80% reduced Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions than previous models. These trucks also deliver extensive power: 765 lb.-ft. of torque, 397 horsepower and 17,800 lbs. (2500 HD) to 23,100 lbs. (3500 HD) of towing capability. The 2500 HD offers a max. payload of 4,212 lbs., while the 3500 HD is capable of a max. payload of 7,222 lbs.
