This highly saturated custom color is called Sublime Lime by BASF. The exterior also features a larger front end, new rocker trim, hood, front and rear fascias, rear spoiler and an aggressively raised cowl hood. A brushed aluminum gas cap, tinted gray windows and fog lamps also distinguish this Malibu show car.<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, an orange-painted engine block peeks out from under a sleek polished aluminum engine cover. A modified, turbocharged 3500 sequential fuel injected 60-degree V6 engine pumps out 230 hp @ 5000 rpm and 286 lb-ft of torque @ 2900 rpm. The engine has an enlarged combustion chamber and the cylinder bore has been increased by .252-inches, to 93.50, to achieve 3.5-liter displacement.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n

He's on a first-name basis with his local Porsche dealership staff and considers the Porsche 911 to be his spirit animal. Ask him about the weather, and he'll tell you how the Porsche 911 handles in the rain. Mention your vacation plans, and he'll explain the best scenic routes to drive a Porsche. In short, Pete's life is a high-speed adventure with Porsche as the co-pilot.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.nickdellis.com\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nick.dellis.3","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dellisn\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/1nickdellis\/"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/caradmin\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/178726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
