Gorn -October

I bought this car with a damaged motor for 1K last year. I was my hope to rebuild the motor. A spun main bearing made repair impractical. I located a used 2002 motor from a Camaro with 48K on it. During the install I did several upgrades. The goal was to build an everyday car that would get 30 Miles per gallon highway and not boring to drive. All upgrade where done with this in mind.
Upgrades: OBX Headers, Centerforce Duel friction Clutch, Hurst Short thro shifter, Cold Air intake

Chevelle Man - November

It's an R6P car (early order) equipped with the 426hp LS3 motor, 6 speed manual transmision and is covered with the amazing Inferno Orange Metallic (IOM) paint.

C'mon people let's celebrate the Camaros return properly, vote for the 5th gen for the 2009 ROTY

 

1983 Camaro Z28 that was originally a crossfire injection car. It was factory optioned with the two tone black and gold, fiberglass air induction hood, G80 LSD rear end with disc brakes and 3:42 gears, rear wiper, leather seats, cruise control, power windows/locks/mirrors, and basically every option available.

When I was 14, I rebuilt an engine that I found behind my father's shop with intentions to drop it into a car. I bought my Z with a tired 305 for $900 when I was 15. I'm now almost 17 and still working vigorously on the car.

The engine is a 350, 4-bolt main (3970010 casting.) Mods list includes: Scat steel crank, steel rods, forged aluminum pistons, Melling high volume/pressure oil pump, double roller timing set, mild cam, Edelbrock Performer intake, Holley Street Avenger 670 Carb, shorty headers, MSD coil, Jegs high volume fuel pump, Flex-a-lite flex fan, and a few other odds and ends.

Transmission: 700R4 built by Steve at Downtown Transmission in Davie, FL. I HIGHLY recommend him. Parts include a billet input shaft, high volume oil pump, kevlar bands, kevlar coated "Z Pack" clutches, corvette servos, Transgo shift kit, 2300 stall converter, TCI lockup kit, B&M ratchet shifter, and of course a few other things.

The car: New shocks and struts, Energy Suspension Bushings, new ceramic pads/rotors/calipers all around with stainless braided lines, Aeroquip Stainless Braid Racing Hose from the tank back, Optima Red Top, Flowmaster 80 series muffler, 235/65/15 BFG Radial T/A's, Sun Pro gauges, JVC H/U with Pioneer speakers, 145mph speedometer, etc.
