Default 1976 camaro 101mm turbo

Found this on youtube because I seem to have that kind of time these days.
22 pounds of bost into a sb400.
Runs a 9.04 at 165mph. Plus it just looks slick in all flat black.

( he said stock suspension, but I see rear disk and tube front controll arms) lol

Yeah he's got a few non stock components, like those Cal Tracs! Bet he's running subframe connectors too!

Stock suspension means he's using stock pick up points for the rear. No four link. Just like a turbo car. They dont 60' for crap but they make up for it on the big end.

When I hear someone say they have stock suspension, I don't think of stock mounting points. Tubular control arms up front, traction bars in the rear, etc. don't spell stock to me. I'd maybe buy different coils, leafs, and bushings, but beyond that it becomes modified stock suspension, not stock.

3 things I took from this video.

1. Turbo's sound sick
2. Stock is the most overly used word thrown around in our hobby. To me stock = assembly line.
3. flat black is a fad I cant wait to see gone. For the record, this car is probably the best flat black vehicle Ive ever seen and it still has the "yawn factor"

Not sure if it will ever go away, but I can't wait either! Flat black, satin black, or fake patina; they all need to go away!
