I can understand all the hype on Big Red. But its a track car with tube chassis, heavy horsepower and stock car components and is build no different than other track cars. I know the intent was to keep the body and interior pretty stock. But for me Radical means a combo of everything from off the wall engine, custom chassis , serious ride height, trick suspension, one off body mods and eye catching paint, some full tilt recovery room interior, and proven performance to match. I understand the car has got a lot of exposure because of the races its been in and the crash. But again IMO its a track car and if I wasnt familiar with its background I personally wouldn't pick it out of a crowd or race because its radical, it would be because its IN THE LEAD.
#1 for most radical track car....yes
personally I would mix the killer 69 or Kenny D's 69 with Penny's performance or Jakes test car

I believe he is referring to the owner changing out the motor for a less powerful one......

Yep, that's the turbo car.

It has one of the cleanest Engine Bay's for a TT car.

Blake at Killer Kustoms built this car, and these are shots from SEMA 2006.
I think its coilovers and I have no idea of the tire size.
Maybe Blake will chime in.

I thought I had a close up of the tires, but no luck.

It's in the May, 2009 Camaro Performers magazine. According to the article, it's on coil-overs. Rear wheels are 20X12 with 335/30ZR-20s, fronts are 19X8-1/2 with 245/35ZR-19s. Rear suspension is a modified Art Morrison triangulated 4-bar and front is a stock sub with Unisteer rack & pinion, and Speed Tech control arms.

Shiny Side Up!

YEAAA !! finally in the press!!

Vegas69 04-10-2009 02:56 PM

The feature turned out really nice Blake. I've seen the car in person once and they pointed out a bunch of stuff I wasn't aware of. :thumbsup:

No air here, it runs the QA1 coil overs. if i remember the bottom of the sub is 4-4.5 off the ground
255/30/19 and 335/30/20 on 19x8.5 and 20x12
we have toyed with the idea of putting one of the sub frames under it but the car is finished so nice i would hate to have to pull it appart.

Congrats as well Blake, car and article look awesome! :thumbsup:

Hopefully you guys can see it's hard to get a car shot and featured being quite far north here in Canada.

Not so easy, but Nick Licata and Chris Shelton are great guys to deal with. :cheers:

I agree with you 100% Rogue. My best friend is working on a 69 and I turned him to your threads and youtube videos. He love's the car. He wants to build something affordable and most importantly a blast to drive. We can't get over the sound of your rock crusher being wound up by the 502.

Well, we can pull Spiro's car out of the ring for most bad ass, unless we say "was"...

He was not hurt, but the car got wrecked a couple weeks ago in an NMCA race in Bradenton. Bummer.

Ricochet 04-17-2009 07:53 PM

OUCH!! That sucks!! Atleast the only thing hurt was his pocket book. That car was bad ass!!

Blake Foster 04-17-2009 08:14 PM

WAS!

with out a doubt in it's own way
too bad he has gone to a new car, all be it more aerodynamic just not as cool!

V8TV 04-18-2009 08:43 AM

The new GXP is an aero-bullet, but keep in mind he still has the original '69 Camaro race car, which was one of the standouts of the whole street car drag scene in the early '90s, and he won the championship a couple years ago with it... it's the single turbo car, so he still has an all-steel Camaro in the fleet. Who knows, it may make a comeback now that the super-bad twin car got hurt.

ironworks 04-18-2009 09:06 AM

That is a total bummer about Pappas wreacking that Hemi Car, that car was an amazing masterpiece. Don't worry that single turbo car being outdated, it was running 6.70 at the Super Street Car Nationals last year. So He still has a bad ass single turbo camaro to run.

tgvettes 04-19-2009 07:47 AM

To me the Motion performance super coupe is the most radical
69 Camaro there is.

Tonny

z4me69 04-19-2009 08:38 AM

spiros gxp is a adrl car was being built way before the wreck was not built to replace it . from my understanding the motor out of the first 69 is in the gxp and the twin car is being rebuilt . either the single turbo car or the twin turbo car will be ready for the bowling green ky race.
