Sorry for the lack of updates, but yes we were able to finally debut this car in Pleasanton last weekend with about 1.5 miles on it! Although more geared towards the street rod crowd, we had a great response and its always nice seeing everyone and meeting new friends. Heres a few shots:

You better post more pictures.
The car looks incredible and the Dash is my favorite !!! |
Steve - looks great, as usual! :thumbsup:
Do you have any of those throttle pedal covers for sale? |
Looks amazing! Nice to see it in person and chat with you Friday.

Very nice, Steve! The interior looks great.

Thanks guys! Appreciate the compliments. We still have a few things to wrap up, specifically a good tune. But initial indicators are...its fast! We will be dyno testing soon but it will be for our original intention, driveability and NOT peak horsepower. That seems to be every ones first question " How muck horsepower? Too many You tube videos I guess. Contrary to belief, you really don't want 1500 hp on the street.
We are entered in the Fontana USCA event just to have a good time and stretch its legs a bit so we need to get busy preparing for that. We scaled it and it came in at 3600 lbs 52/48, not too bad considering all of the water to air plumbing up front. Ive been spending a lot of time going fast in a straight line with my drag car lately so I'll need to remember to turn the wheel!:drive: |
Car is beautiful. I liked the color on the original rendering, but I love the white better. Good job! :headspin: :headspin:
|
WOW! Fantastic build! Love all the details and touches. And really appreciate it when a builder can 'pull off' white! You hit it out of the park with this one for sure!!!
|
Amazing car, very clean for how much has been done. Do you have any more pictures of how the spoiler was built? I love that it's seamlessly built into the rear of the car.
|
This is my favorite camaro ever. What type of paint did you use for the grey? I haven't been able to find a flat/matte paint that has worked well for me.
|
I absolutely love this car! beautiful. In sea of camaros this one shine bright.

Thanks Steve, appreciate you looking into it. Anything that I would attempt to make surely won't look as good as yours!

A few updates: A couple weeks ago we headed down south and stopped by Turnkey Engine Supply for some tuning and dyno time. Unfortunately their dyno would not physically accommodate the car due to it being an above ground type. But we did get some good seat of the pants dyno time in! Im very happy with this small twin turbo combination it seems to be very drivable and when in the mood, light the tires off in 4 gear. I would guess at least 750 Rwhp. We then left the next day for a car show at K&N headquarters in Riverside, got teched and "stickered up" for the USCA event on Sat in Fontana. At this point we had never hung a turn in the car at any kind of speed and had only 80 miles on the clock. Fortunately, we were able to do some "testing" on the grounds at Fontana on Friday evening.(and even a couple good drag races with Kyle Tucker!) Had a blast on Sat. were able to sort out some brake bias adjustments, got some good info on some spring rate changes to be made and got a little seat time. Overall very happy with its performance. The topper was the first place in the Lingenfelter Design and Engineering award category. There was some very nice cars so that was quite an honor!
Our next stop is SEMA, we have once again partnered up with K&N and will be displaying in their booth. heres a couple of pics courtesy of Lat G...... http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...psdet3ilns.jpg http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...pssbbmpi60.jpg |
Do you sale the instrument panel? One of the best ever seen or is that all custom?

I can believe that!

Car looks fantastic Steve... Like all the others you've done.
Let's hope for a golden ticket so we can see you running her over the weekend. See you in a couple weeks at SEMA. |

wow just wow. This car is perfect. Great job.
Do you have the reverse lights hidden? You know i wonder if theres a license plate light that has two functions. Light beam for plate light only and when put into reverse its even brighter and acts as a reverse light |

So now that the dust has settled after SEMA we can update a bit. We had an excellent spot in the K&N booth in Central hall, got some great press and on Weds got a golden ticket for OUSCI placed on the dash. Thursday morning we were very proud to have been chosen for a GM design award for best underhood. A huge honor considering the selection of cars there! Ousci was a great experience although quite a bit different than when we last participated in 2012. Most cars this time around seemed more purpose built for this event and we felt we didn't really "fit in". Not to make excuses for my rookie driving, but I was very conservative in the speed stop and hot lap challenge as I could have done some serious damage in any off road excursions. We knew we weren't going to pose a threat to the "top dogs" so why take the risk in a car I don't own! In a car that is more setup for street performance, comfort and less than optimum tires (Nitto Invo's!), we accomplished what we wanted and finished 3rd in the design and engineering segment. Overall the car feels very good and is probably the most quiet, smooth running all around package pro touring car we have built. Not to mention it hauls butt too! http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqbvxkfw7.jpg http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps4me9bhyu.jpg http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...psqrgqaxhe.jpg http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...pslhw9iak4.jpg http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/a...psbrwfcznp.jpg |
