2010 Nickey Super Camaro Project
 
10 Attachment(s)
I would like to thank Peter Basica, President of Pedders Suspension, USA for personally helping to develop and install most of the components which make up our Super Car Suspension which will be standard on our Stage III Camaros and optional on the Stage I and II Camaros.

Team Stradale provided their facility, manpower and expertise. We established a base line with a 100% stock, as delivered 2SS Camaro which weighed in at approx 3,900 lbs.

The overall results and performance of the Pedders "Nickey" package far exceeded all of our expectations.

wow, thats to heavy for a "sports car" how much weight were you able to take out.

I know the stangs weigh that much too. but i heard the 2010's are around 3500.

That camaro looks pretty mean with the pedders suspension on it. The whole package looks good.

Wow!!
BIG difference from stock! Thanks for posting.:thumbsup: :cheers:
Looks good.

The suspension is fully adjustable front and rear. We could have lowered it even more, but I felt we found a good compromise.

With racing weight wheel and tires as well as the reduced weight of the suspension components, you can drop almost 180 pounds.

This is a heavy car and the Pedders components turns it into a different Machine. The weak link now are the street tires.

The best looking 2010 Camaro that I've seen yet. :thumbsup:

The wheels look real nice, but I would probably go with something else.

Cant wait to see what you do with the power train.

Looks much better than stock. Nice work.:cheers:

That is awesome. Yeah, she is a HEAVY car.
Now I have a couple of questions Stefano, if you don't mind?
1) I noticed on the renderings that the "mail slot" on the hood is not there? Will the Nickey Camaro have the "mail slot" delete? (I'm not a fan of the "mail slot" myself.) I like the black tail panel idea. Looks awesome on the renderings!!:bow:
2) Will the STAGE III Camaro be N/A or powered with a turbo/supercharger? (I personally would like a N/A engine!)
Thanks for any info you can provide. :thumbsup: :cheers:

1) I want to have a safe, fun and fast.....well very fast Camaro.

We have explored many options in order to try and have our Camaro look as much like our rendering as possible. At this point we have designed our Stinger Hood to work with the current front facia. Just painting the insert body color makes the mail slot much less obtrusive. We are also developing and insert which may help the visual transition even more.

2) Stage III is Naturally aspirated. Stage III S is Super Charged with a Blower. We have developed both technologies and both will be available.

(remember we already built a 1,200 hp twin turbo 427 C5R Nickey Super Camaro)

Thus far, none of the Stage III orders have been for the Supercharged version. All have been for the "old fashioned" Naturally Aspirated power plants.

The Super Charger and the additional cooling components/oil add approx. 100 pounds of weight, exactly where is is needed the least. They also tend to generate a bunch more heat, in competitive situations.

Wegner Motor Sports has been able to develop much more than 700 streetable hp on pump gas!

While there are advantages and disadvantages with both Methods, we are not bashful to state that our preference is for the NA Stage III engine.

I own a 2006 Mustang GT and it weighs in around 3500 pounds with half a tank of fuel (sans driver).
