E ho'āʻo iā Chevrolet Corvette C1: Puʻu Gula

ʻO ka hanauna mua o ka moʻomeheu haʻuki ʻAmelika i kāna mana mākua loa

I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ka kaʻa haʻuki haʻuki ʻAmelika wale nō ke kaulana i ka piha o ka makahiki 60. Hāʻawi ka 1 Gold Corvette C1962 i nā mea huna o kona kūleʻa nui loa.

ʻO ka kaʻa haʻuki mua ʻelua noho ʻAmelika, i hana ʻia i loko o kahi moʻo nui, ua hoʻolālā ʻia i ke ʻano o kahi alanui Pelekane a i ka nānā mua ʻana e like me kahi hemahema. ʻOi aku ka ʻike ma mua o ke kūʻai liʻiliʻi o ka Corvette mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hana ʻana i ka makahiki 1953, ʻo nā kiʻi kiʻi VIP kahiko ʻo Edward Quinn mai ka hopena o nā makahiki XNUMX e ʻōlelo no lākou iho. I loko o lākou, hōʻike wiwo ʻole nā ​​hōkū kiʻiʻoniʻoni honua a me nā mea kaulana i nā kaʻa haʻuki i hōʻoia ʻia e like me Alfa Romeo, Austin-Healey, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, etc. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia kahi Corvette ma nā wahi āpau.

Nānā nui, akā liʻiliʻi ka mana

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, kaulana loa ka mea hoʻokūkū pololei o ka Ford Thunderbird, i hana ʻia mai 1955. ʻO Audrey Hepburn, ʻo Liz Taylor, ʻo Aristotle Onassis a me nā poʻe VIP ʻē aʻe e hoʻokele i kahi hiʻohiʻona Ford ʻelua noho me ka mīkini V8 ikaika. ʻO ka mea ʻē aʻe, he mana haʻahaʻa ka Corvette mua - 150 hp wale nō. e like me ka SAE - a me kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻano ʻē. ʻOiai i kēia mau lā, me kāna mau kukui nui i hoʻomoʻa ʻia a me nā ʻūhā poepoe e like me nā salami, ua like ia me ka huahana niche a kahi mea liʻiliʻi banekorupa.

ʻO kahi manaʻo ʻokoʻa loa e hele mai ana mai kā mākou hoʻohālikelike gula 1962, me nā hōkū kiʻiʻoniʻoni kaulana o ka honua mai Cannes a me Nice i hauʻoli i nā manawa. Kēia kkohu, ka hopena o nā loli lehulehu a piha hoʻi o ke k modelkohu kumu, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma ke ʻano he C1 hanauna mua a hoʻohālikelike i nā ʻano ma mua o ka liʻiliʻi o ke kaʻa haʻuki ʻoiaʻiʻo ma ʻAmelika: ka hoʻolālā hōʻeuʻeu me kahi hoʻonohonoho engine mua a me ke ʻano ikaika. nā ʻāpana pāʻani leʻaleʻa, nā ʻenekini V8 ikaika, kahi laulā o nā pono hana a me ka parade kupaianaha i hōʻoia ʻia i mua o nā hōkele, nā hale inu alanui a me ke ahiahi ma mua o ka opera.

No ka mea hope, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ka Champagne Fawn Beige Metallic e uhi ana i ke kino holoʻokoʻa o kā mākou C1 Convertible - kahi kala e hui pū me ka ʻoki chrome waiwai a me ka hardtop dynamically. ʻO kona mau papa pukaaniani wiwi, hili i mua, me nā puka makani hili ma nā ʻaoʻao, hāʻawi i ka mea hoʻololi i ka manaʻo e like me ka pua. ʻO nā puʻupuʻu muscular o nā pūhaka ma luna o nā huila hope a me ka hiʻohiʻona pōloli o nā kukui māhoe e hōʻike ana i ka manaʻo o ka mea hoʻokūkū e mālama pono ʻia ʻoiai ka hoʻouna ʻana i ka lekiō, ka lekiō, nā puka makani a me nā kaila keʻokeʻo.

Pēlā nō, ʻo ka pailaka, kahi e hiki ai i ka mea hoʻokele ke komo maʻalahi i nā puka ākea, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻokoe i nā ʻano haʻuki a hoʻomanaʻo hou ʻia i nā kaʻa heihei o ia au. ʻO kahi laʻana, hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā noho noho ʻoluʻolu o ke kumu hoʻohālikelike (1953) mai kekahi me kekahi e kekahi alahaka i ʻāpana o ke kino. ʻO kahi counter rev kikowaena a me kahi lever lole pōkole ma waenakonu o ka papahele kekahi mau lako haʻuki maʻamau. I kahi mea liʻiliʻi, pili kēia i ka luhi ʻelua mau pae o ka lawe aunoa ʻana. E aʻo koke mākou ua lawa kēia.

I kēia manawa, mahalo mākou i ka papa kuhikuhi ʻAmelika maʻamau, i hana ʻia ma ke ʻano he haku mea kūkulu hale liʻiliʻi. ʻEhā mau mea hōʻailona hou a me kahi tachometer i hoʻonoho ʻia ma waena o lākou e kalaunu i ka semicircle mana o ka speedometer. I nā kaʻa kalaiwa ʻākau, ka modula holoʻokoʻa, e like me ke kino, i hana ʻia me ka plastic, hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia i loko o kahi hoʻomaha i mua o ka noho ʻākau.

No kahi puʻupuʻu kālā

Hoʻomohala ka ʻenekini V-māhoe ʻelima 5,4-lika i 300 hp. e like me SAE, pālua pono i ka C1953 me kahi ʻenekini ʻeono-paukū i hōʻike ʻia i 1 makahiki. Hana ʻia ka Corvette 1962 me ka mana o 250 hp. He kanalimau horsepower hou aku nā kumukūʻai $ 53,80 wale nō, a he ʻeono ia o ka emi ma mua o nā puka aniani mana. Me ka pahuhopu o Chevrolet i hoʻolako i ka ʻenekini V8 me kahi carburetor nui a hoʻonui i ka wikiwiki i helu ʻia mai 4400 a 5000 rpm. Ma o nā tailpipe V8 ʻike ʻole ʻia i kau ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao ma lalo o ka hope, hoʻopuka ka mea i kahi ulu ʻaneʻane smug.

Hoʻoneʻe mākou i ka lever hoʻoili ʻakomi i mua ma o nā kūlana R a me N e waiho iā ia ma ke kūlana D, a laila hoʻokuʻu i ke kaʻa - a ʻike ke neʻe nei ke kaʻa. Me ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa i ka pedal accelerator, hoʻomaka ikaika ke kiʻekiʻe-torque 5,4-lita V8 e hoʻomaikaʻi i kahi hoʻoili ʻakomi me kahi mea hoʻololi torque. Eia naʻe, no ke komo ʻana i ke kaʻa mai ke kahua kaʻa kaʻa kūʻai aku, pono ʻoe i ka huli ʻana he 180-degere a kokoke e pau i ka ʻauwai - ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka Corvette me kāna ʻenekini V8 paheʻe, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o kona huila. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoneʻe ma kahi - a ʻoiai ʻoe e huki a huki, makaʻu nui ʻoe i ka ikaika o ka lei nani me nā nila huʻi ʻeleʻele a ʻoi loa e like me ka pahi.

ʻAneʻane hiki nā mea āpau i nā kāʻei ʻelua.

Ma muli o kēia mau hiʻohiʻona, pono ka ukali i ke kaila kalaiwa maʻamau o ke au, me ka mea kalaiwa e noho ana ma ka huila me nā lima i pelu ʻia i nā kuʻe lima. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ʻoiai me ka hardtop me nā puka aniani i hāpai ʻia, he nui ka lumi o ka Corvette no nā lima, nā ʻūhā, a me nā wāwae ma ka hehi wikiwiki. Inā makemake ʻia, hiki iā ʻoe ke kaomi ma luna o nā pale flip, hoʻonohonoho i ka wikiwiki o ka neʻe. Hoʻohui, ʻaʻole hāʻawi ka aniani panoramic i ka ʻike maikaʻi loa loa i ke ala a me ka pāpale, akā nā piʻo hoʻi i mua e hoʻokuʻu i kahi.

ʻO ka hoʻokele kaʻa he hōʻailona o ka mālie hilinaʻi, a ma lalo o nā kūlana maʻamau e hoʻihoʻi hou nā mea āpau ma waena o 1500 a me 2500 rpm - kokoke wale nō i ka lua (wikiwiki), kahi e hoʻopili ai ka ʻakomi ma kahi haʻahaʻa. Ua maʻa koke ka hoʻokele pololei a me ka paʻa paʻa, no laila, ma hope o kekahi mau kilomita ke holo ikaika nei mākou a me ka ʻole o ke kaumaha o ke kaʻa i kēlā me kēia lā. Inā ʻaʻole no kēlā keʻena māmā, ea, ʻano ʻano ʻokoʻa me nā ʻaoʻao champagne ʻoluʻolu, ke kālā i kāhili ʻia a me nā kikoʻī chrome ʻālohilohi, poina paha mākou ua hele mākou ma kahi kaʻa haʻuki no nā makahiki he 50.

Ma hope o ka huakaʻi hoʻāʻo mua, hoʻi mākou i kahi hoʻomaka, hoʻokuʻu i ka hardtop me kekahi mau neʻe ʻana a waiho i ke kihi o ka hale kūʻai lawelawe kaʻa. I kēia manawa ke hōʻike nei ka Corvette i ka hoʻolālā C1-generation "cherry" - kahi lele ma waena o nā noho e iho i loko o ka hale. Ma o ia mea, e kulou ana ke kino a poʻi i nā poʻohiwi o ʻelua mau kaʻa. ʻAʻohe roadster hana ma ʻEulopa i loaʻa kēia hiʻohiʻona. A ʻo kekahi mea nui ʻē aʻe: ua hūnā ʻia ka guru textile ma lalo o kahi uhi nani.

ʻIʻini nui

ʻOiai ʻo ka hoʻolālā a me ka ʻoluʻolu, hiki ke lawe ʻia kā mākou Corvette e ka makani me nā peʻa puʻupuʻu. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, ua lawa ka paʻi piha ʻana i ka pedal accelerator - a laila lele koke ka nila tachometer i 4000 rpm a noho ma laila. Ma kahi o ka ʻumi o ke kekona ma hope, i kākoʻo ʻia e ka leo bass, ua paʻi ʻia ʻoe e kahi pōhaku Saturn e hoʻokuʻi ana i ka mea hoʻokele i ka noho a hoʻōho nā huila hope ʻelua.

Ma luna o 30 mile i kēlā me kēia hola, ulu wikiwiki nā revs, e like me ka wikiwiki. Loaʻa ka paʻa paʻa 60 mph (98 km / h) i ka lua o nā mea i loko o ʻewalu mau kekona wale nō, me ka loli wale nō o nā kapa i hana ʻia ma 5000 rpm me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopālua. A laila e neʻe ikaika nei ke kui kele wikiwiki i ke kuhikuhi o hoʻokahi haneli mile (ma kahi o 160 km / h).

Ua hele mākou i kahi wikiwiki loa inā loaʻa iā mākou kahi V8 i injected e hāʻawi ana iā 360 hp. e like me SAE a me ka hui pū ʻana me ka hoʻoili manuale ʻehā wikiwiki. Me ia, kā mākou C1 gula mai 62 sprint a 100 km / h i loko o ʻeono kekona, a ʻo kona wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe he 240 km / h. kā mākou kaʻa.

ʻO kēia hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi i nā mea āpau a me nā mea āpau, me kahi hiʻohiʻona nani a me ka hōʻoluʻolu paʻa (me ka hiki ʻole ke hōʻole ʻia no ka hoʻokele ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā), ʻo ia kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona nui o nā hanauna āpau o Corvette - a me nā hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe o ʻAmelika. Akā i kēia manawa, hoʻokahi wale nō mea hana i hiki ke nīnau i ka ʻeke o kahi kaʻa haʻuki koʻikoʻi nani, a ʻo ia mea hana ʻo Chevrolet. Ke hele nei kēia ma mua o 60 mau makahiki. I ka wā ma mua, ua lanakila ka Corvette i ke awāwa waimaka ma ka hoʻemi ʻana i kona mana i 165 hp. i 1975 hoʻokūkū hou me Ferrari a me ka hui, a hiki i 659 hp. me C7 Z06 o kēia lā. ʻO ka ʻōlelo kaulana "E hoʻi mai lākou i kekahi lā" pili pono ma aneʻi.

KA HOOHOLO

Luna Hoʻoponopono ʻO Franz-Peter Hudek: Maʻalahi e wehewehe i ka hanauna V8 Corvette C1 ma hope aku ʻo ia nō hoʻi ke kaʻa maʻamau ma Europe. Maʻalahi lākou e lawelawe, loaʻa ka traction maikaʻi, hāʻawi i kahi ākea nui, a puhi i kahi ahi o nā manaʻo hoʻolālā sophisticated. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka Corvette e hana nei i kēia lā e hoʻonui i ka waiwai o ka hanauna mua.
