500 Horse Power 2014 Chevrolet Camaro

Did you hear that Chevrolet is introducing a 500HP Camaro for 2014. It’s badged as the Z/28 and for 2014 it’s going to be equipped with the Corvette motor, using the Z06′s 7.0-liter LS7, said to be good for at least 500 horsepower.

Funny thing about the 500 HP 2014 Chevy Camaro, it was featured in the morning show Kelly and Michael.

What is Billet?

Perhaps this whole time we’ve mentioned billet parts, you weren’t quite sure what it really meant. Here’s the most simplest way to describe what billet is; it means aluminum was milled/cut/carved out from a solid block. Therefore, no moulding, no joins, and less likely to have flaws or stress cracks.

Not only is billet higher in quality, but it can still be chromed, powder coated or anodized for that custom look. Billet offers strength and quality that far exceeds stock plastic parts you may see on your vehicles.

Let’s take for example the stock door handle on an FJ Cruiser. That door handle is made out of plastic. So not only is the quality lower compared to billet, but now you even have the risk of getting your FJ broken into by some thug who simply breaks the plastic door handle to get into your vehicle. Now they can steal your valuables or worse, steal the FJ.

Take a look at the Pirate Mfg BILLET door handle for the FJ. This handle was made out of a SOLID BLOCK of 6061-T6 aluminum!

If you didn’t know 6061-T-6 aluminum is AIRCRAFT GRADE. It’s commonly used to produce fuselages and aircraft wings. The same 6061 T-6 aircraft-grade aluminum is also corrosion resistant. So if it’s good enough for an airplane, then it should be good enough for your vehicle, right?!

Is your Jeep wearing Pirate Mfg?

I find it funny how the following morning news and talk shows are all talking about what the celebrities were wearing for the Oscars. Fancy designer brands were mentioned and how a certain dress looked great. Even talk of how their hair complimented the sequence of the dress…aye. I don’t know about you, but I’m Oscar’d Out!

But if you were to dress up your Jeep, make sure it’s wearing Pirate Mfg. You can things like door handles, door hinges, tail light covers and more!
