Jackass w/ LS9: original build and new Jackass 2.0 updates!
 

This is Charlie's new car that is being built in Detroit. It will have an LS9 engine and typical Pro-Touring treatment. Attached are some photos of the car at Autorama last year in bare metal. Reiter's Metal Craft in Mt. Clemens, MI did the metal and body work. It was awesome to see the car in 100% raw metal. I've used Reiter for 4 projects and I've always been happy with their work.

Joe Borschk did the cage and exhaust work at Katech. Joe is back in business for himself at Stenod Performance after being at Katech for awhile.

Over all, the car is turning out great. I'm managing the project for Charlie while I'm also working on my '69 Camaro.

Are those the new ZR-1 BREMBO calipers?? What color is it going to be?

More Jackass
 

Yes the brakes are Brembo ZR-1. They are very cool and work very well.

We are painting out some samples to sort out the color. The plan is to be in color by Jan 1.

Attached are a couple more photos including a LS9 intake mock up. It should all work well. We are finalizing the engine bay prior to paint. Ron Davis made a one off radiator for better cooling with integral oil and power steering coolers. The ICHE (Intercooler) is also upsized over the ZR-1 for better blower efficiency.

Joe does awesome work.

Can't wait a ride!

Are these calipers available through GM parts already??

Charlie
 

effin sweet! whats the deal Mark did you get tired of your cars going to him? Charlie is addicted to cool cars :bow:
1st in line for a ride? :thumbsup:

It's neat to see that LS9 sittin in there:thumbsup: Thanks for posting.

That will be an amazing car when it's complete...it's amazing now...! I hope to one day have a car of that caliber.

Jason

Jody

Very cool build! Thanks for sharing Mark!!

So Mark, what are you building for yourself?

Great looking project! :thumbsup:

Killer, love Mark's build styles. :thumbsup:

Wow Another Awesome Build
 

I love the cars you and Charlie build I can't wait to see the performance with this engine in their. Please keep us updated.

Another cool build, what the target date of jack @#! car?
Sorry, I just have to say that.
:thumbsup:

I'm really interested in seeing what the LS9 can do with the wick turned up. It's amazing to think that the box stock LS9 makes 638hp AND maintains a 100,000 mile warranty while meets all emissions targets.

Jackass is the Mule's cousin. :D

or big brother :unibrow:

I thought Jackass was the step child?:rofl:

kissing couSIN!!

And when can we expect the BUILD BOOK to be out? :unibrow:

Cool stuff so far, can't wait to see the rest! :hail:

Thanks for the post and link back over here. Your stuff is an inspiration to us all out here. Thanks, Todd

:thumbsup: :cheers:

a few more pics

What goes in the boxes in the rear seat area?

Whatever I can pack in there. No back seat, just a shelf to pile crap on and storage underneath. One thing learned on Power Tour is you always need something and there is never enough room in your trunk for all the crap that seems to show up.

insane! cant wait to see it done. :thumbsup:

Are the boxed areas in the trunk for suspension, exhaust, or...? Those storage compartments look great.

The area in the trunk close to where the cage ties in is for added clearance for the exhaust around the DSE Quadra-link. Mark did the same thing in Camaro X.

Charley, you plannin' this one for Power Tour?

Yes this should be on Power Tour in June.... Mule has done 4, Red Witch has done 3, Malitude has done part of 1, Camaro X has done 2...That is a big part of the fun with this stuff.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks for clarifying

and Malitude will do a full one next year, even if I have to push it............... :lol:

Jody

Oh, maybe I don't want to ride/push shot gun!! :_paranoid

no, drive your own car..................... :yes: Stuart is also looking for a ride.................... :D

Is that a FPR mounted on the trans crossmember? I am glad you guy's shared the pictures with us little people. Please keep them coming :D

Wouldn't that be nice! :yes:

you CAN do it Tony. Mine is totally blown apart right now, but you can bet the farm it'll be on next year Power Tour. I will fly up and help if needed............ :thumbsup:

Jody

Thanks!! :cheers:

I don't know, Tony. You've seen how most of Jody's deadline projects go here. You may want someone else to help so at least ONE of your guy's cars can go....:P

No worries, Malitude will be finished first!

Now back to Jackass!!
