Default 2010 Nickey Super Camaro Project

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.

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

Very good looking car! The rendering looked good, but I really like the look of the real thing.

I do have to say I'm very happy to see the Bowtie on the grill vs the Nickey emblem from the rendering. That was the only thing I would have originally changed.

In the 1st pic of the cars nose to nose.... what's that a comparison of? Is it 'new' suspenion height vs. stock height or is that 2 different settings w/the 'new' suspension pieces?

And,,, The tire sizes are still the 245/275's? Looks killer.

I think it's the "new" height vs. the stock height.
I may be wrong, but I'll let Stefano answer that question.

This is our work in progress Nickey Super Camaro Stinger Hood.

I have mixed feelings about showing an unfinished prototype product, but we get more inquiries regarding this hood than just about anything elsewhich we have available.

We will have the hood installed on the Nickey Super Camaro, for the Bloomington Gold Corvette show and auction. It is however just a prototype and not 100%as the final and finished version will be.

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