GM launches Total Confidence program

By Orlando Performance Motorsports LLC On March 31st, 2009

General Motors has announced a new incentive program that it hopes will encourage people to enter the car buying market again. Called GM Total Confidence, the program has four prongs that includes Payment Protection if you lose your job, equity assistance if you trade in your vehicle later for another one from GM, one year of OnStar and the automaker’s 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. We’re already familiar with the last two components of GM’s Total Confidence program, so let’s focus on the first two. 

GM’s payment protection program is much like Hyundai’s Assurance Program in that the automaker will cover your payments in the event that you lose your job. GM’s program covers you for 24 months and will make up to nine payments valued at up to $500/month. According to GM, if you qualify for state unemployment benefits, you’ll qualify for the payment protection to kick in. 

The last element of GM’s Total Confidence incentive program is equity assistance, or what GM calls Vehicle Value Protection. This part of the program will cover the difference between what you owe on your vehicle and its NADA Clean Retail Value when you trade it in for another GM vehicle. The idea is to wipe out any negative equity caused by vehicle depreciation when you move on to your next car. 

The GM Total Confidence incentive program begins tomorrow, April 1 and runs through April 30, 2009, though could be extended if it works and sales go up. You’ll be seeing marketing for the program during the Final Four as well, so keep your eyes open.

Lamborghini denies Estoque death rumors

By Orlando Performance Motorsports LLC On March 28th, 2009

Lamborghini Estoque Concept - Click above for a high-res gallery

After a series of stories surfaced over the weekend reporting the demise of the Lamborghini Estoque, the supercar manufacturer has issued a statement addressing the rumors. According to Lamborghini, the Estoque has not been killed off, but it hasn’t been approved for production either.

The release continues to tow the company line that if a new model is added to the Lamborghini line-up, “a four door luxury performance saloon could be a logical product strategy.”

When the Estoque was revealed in Paris, the 500-horsepower, V10-powered all-wheel drive sedan was hailed as the automaker’s first volume model – a daily driver that could conceivably sell between 2,000 and 3,000 units annually. Speculation of the Estoque’s eminent arrival in 2011 was stoked when the company’s R&D chief Maurizio Reggiani, said that a case was being made to VW’s board and that a mule was currently undergoing testing. Hit the jump to read Lamborghini’s brief release.

Example #4,239 why sat-nav isn’t always to be trusted

By Orlando Performance Motorsports LLC On March 28th, 2009

Anyone who uses a satnav regularly knows the feeling of looking at the directions being given – or actually trying to follow them – and wondering “WTF?” Try an experiment and plug one of your regular destinations into your satnav and see what it spit out; seven times out of ten you’ll wonder “Why would it tell me to go that way?”

A driver in England has once again followed the instructions from his car’s GPS system as if he were Abraham heeding instructions from The Almighty. Headed to a friend’s house, the driver was told by his GPS to go up a steep walking path, and he did so. Luckily the path was lined by a fence, because when the driver crested a hill, he slid down the path and into the fence, which stopped him from going over a 100-foot cliff. 

Fortunately, he was unhurt, although charged with careless driving. Never forget: trust your good sense before you trust your satnav…

HKS F-CON V Pro version 3.3 released for the North American Market

By Orlando Performance Motorsports LLC On February 9th, 2009

 
 HKS F-CON V Pro version 3.3 released for the North American Market.
HKS USA, Inc. releases the newest version of its engine management system, the F-CON V Pro version 3.3. The new F-CON V Pro hardware and Power Writer software have been upgraded to offer improved functionality and features over the previous generations.

The HKS F-CON V Pro is a full featured standalone engine management system that connects easily to the factory Engine Control Unit as a “piggy-back” fuel and timing controller. As modifications to a vehicle are made, the need for fuel and timing adjustments becomes critical for performance and safety. With up to 4 selectable trim maps for different fuel octane ratings, the F-CON V Pro with its 32×32 resolution for both fuel and timing maps is the optimal solution.

The F-CON V Pro can control up to eight injectors with D Jetro or L Jetro setups. Injectors can be set to fire as batch, sequential or staged. The F-CON V Pro can also be utilized in “drive by wire” vehicles. Programming is done via the HKS Power Writer software; which only Certified HKS Pro Dealers have access to.

The HKS Power Writer software for the F-CON V Pro has some very unique abilities to simplify setup and tuning. The F-CON V Pro utilizes A/F Feedback control; where a target A/F value can be input and the F-CON V Pro will adjust fuel automatically.

Full data logging capabilities are also built into the F-CON V Pro Power Writer software allowing all major vehicle conditions; speed, rpm, water temperature, intake temperature, timing, boost, injector duty cycle, etc. to be logged onto the HKS Pro Dealer’s computer.

New functions and features of the F-CON V Pro 3.3 include:

    •  Expanded vehicle applications including Mitsubishi’s Lancer Evolution X
    •  Air flow input voltage monitoring
    •  Direct inputs for: Fuel pressure, Oil pressure and Oil temperature
    •  Compatibility with the HKS A/F Knock Amp 2 (AFK)
    •  Deceleration fuel cut by vehicle speed, improving low speed drivability

    •  Improved Idle Control Valve control
    •  Error code reporting and memory function
