That does sound pretty nasty... in a good way :thumbsup:
Trepanier said they had to bring in a Sun dial to record my time..lol..Alan told me not to hit a cone and screw up the paint or he'd kill me..he knew better than to let Cooper get behind the wheel..Cooper was like a worm in an ant bed all week end wanting to get in it and drive it. He finally did and didn't go 50 ft. before blowing the tires off the rim..like that was some surprise

he might not...I wouldn't let him drive it when I had it..his reputation precedes him..he's still bitching about that..i bought the Z06 mule car that GM used as a platform to build the Z06. I had him drive it out of the tent down to the truck that was loading it to my house. As soon as he got out to the street I heard it hit the rev limiter, then bang second, same thing. I could hear it over all the auction noise..he just can't control himself

I'm sorry --- I had to laugh --- that is funny right there!

Of course if it were mine -- He'd only do that ONCE... and then I'd shoot him!

Guys say - "well.... that's what they're made for"... YES --- I agree --- But if it's mine - I'll be happy to wing it to the redline... but I don't want someone else doing it UNLESS we've agreed that's what your going to do.

Hard to get a turbo motor sounding anything like a nasty cammed up motor with some compression. Alan and I both are into the sound. That 69 that Alan built for Nathan Powell was at Columbus this past year and made the final 5 for SMOY. ALan couldn't make it and neither could Nathan so they wanted me to drive it..Now that was one more nasty sounding beast too. Everytime I would pull up to someone, you'd see them slink down in their seat. That Carbon on Carbon Tilton clutch set-up makes em rev like an air wrench.
I would have to agree with you that was the baddest souding Camaro i have ever heard.

I got to RIDE in the Passenger seat plenty when Bob owned it...probably more miles than anyone...but I never got to drive it...I did ask, so same situation...except I don't know if Bob wants to ride shotgun with me behind the wheel...he doesn't like it in a rental car and I'll probably treat the Cuda just like a rental car [but with more HP...]

You left out the part why I was driving it in the first place...you can't fit in it with that tight cage...also this Z06 mule was run at Sebring for 24hours straight on kill...all I did was hustle it down to the truck! didn't want to miss anything... for the record it never was on the chip!!!!!!

Greg...shoot me? I always carry a blank check in my pocket in case I break someones weak link! and I'd love to own Bob's Z06 it would make a great open track day car!

WSSix 02-14-2010 07:40 PM
Bob what did you do with that black ZR1 active suspension prototype? That car was neato.


Doug, do you still have your 55 with the 540 I think it was in it? The one I posted the video of?

Bob's got that ZR1 in his car building at home...along with about 60 other neat, different and eclectic cars!

Yeah, still have the 55...that's just a fun car...it's only been washed a hand full of times in years and it gets driven...took it to a indoor show dirty LOL !

Yes...Because it goes right past Alans shop in Alabama this year I want to see if I can hit a couple or a few stops...the dates are tough...NHRA Englistown which I attend most years, Indy Goodguys, and the Power Tour all conflict???

I already have a pair of tower suite passes for Englishtown! I wouldn't have any trouble finding a friend or two that wanted to go to the races...

we will see...

I haven't done anything with the ZR1 active suspension car..there is a lot of sophistication goin on there...i don't know what I would do if it broke..just sitting in my showroom..

all i can say is I'm thankful (as the rest of the world is) that Cooper's daughter got her mothers Genes..The twin boys got Cooper's unfortunately..One of them mooned us one time when they drove by and I can attest that he had so many wild hairs up his A$$ it was unreal..Both are out of control as you can get..wrecked more cars than I did at their age. If his daughter got his genes, she would be riding Brahma Bulls in the PBR instead of riding jumping horses with the La Te DAH..You think these cars are expensive, you don't even want to know what it takes to ride competitively..like they say, you don't want anything that eats and shi+$..

I'm glad you guys are on this forum. We need your kinda sarcasm and Bob's opinions. Not sure if you would remember me, but I spoke with you guys in Tom Nelson's booth a couple SEMA's ago when they were shutting the place down for the day.

I don't own cowboy boots, but I know you do! are they RED? I don't frequent bars, but I know you do! that's two outta three Bob...I guess I need not ask the third question...because I know you use the bathroom.......

Have you spent much time behind the wheel of the B400, Doug? If so, how is it for a driver?

Do you have plans for another build anytime soon?

No not a lot... I've driven it in and out of shows this past year...from the hotel to the fairgrounds etc... in the rain at Columbus! we tried to keep it as slick underneath as possible...maybe some road time this year after I decide about a couple other indoor shows? it drives fine like any other 32 I have it's just quieter with less HP!

Do you have plans for another build anytime soon?
I have three 69 camaro bodies...one of them is in primer ready for paint it's mocked up with a brand newLS7 5 speed has the DSE hydroformed front sub frame mini tubs new floors bear brakes plus all the goodies... but I might not finish that car...pass it on to someone else whos looking for a 69 that's quite far along at a deal...30% LESS THAN IT TAKES TO GET ONE TO THIS STAGE!? anyone interested?

Then Ive got a handful of rust free 32s a perfect sedan body, a five window body, 2 three windows and a brookville three window body that's unassembled

we will see which way we go with the next build street machine or another street rod... I havent decided?

WSSix 02-17-2010 12:43 PM
since it was brought up, Doug can you explain what is so special about the B400? I know it won Riddler and is an all around great looking car. However, I'm not a street rodder. Why were people so surprised that you chose to build that model car? Why is that model different or not used typically? Why did you name it what you did etc etc? I've just always wondered since rods aren't my knowledge base.
