duPont REGISTRY July 2020

When looking back at missed opportunities, every automaker is guilty of not building what customers wanted. When the 1992 Corvette was announced to arrive with the LT-1 V8, a team from Toms River, New Jersey decided to build the 1991 Pontiac Firehawk. GM would not consider adding power and performance to the Camaro and Firebird because of internal competition. But they did make an exception by allowing a Tier-1 supplier to build cars the public was begging for. What began as SLP (Street Legal Performance) has grown into SVE (Specialty Vehicle Engineering). As GM’s #1 supplier, they have delivered over 65,000 cars, trucks & SUVs to dealers around the world. Flashback to a year ago, and we were introduced to a new version of an old friend. As the centerpiece for our monthly Cars & Coffee event, the 2020 GMC Syclone arrived with all-new suspension, wheels, brakes, and an SVE proprietary supercharger on the 3.6-liter V6. It offers brutal acceleration along with comfort and leather.
