I went and re-read th article in HRM again. I think this car is awesome. I can't see most people choosing this swap which is what makes it great. Ingenuity and attention to detail are what drives the Hot Rod movement.

You do know a lot of these Camaros are Canadians back in the '60s right? Even the 2010 Camaros are Canadians and not Americans. Some American cars are even Mexicans and Chinese. Most resto parts are made in Taiwan and China too. What some of us don't know is that are beloved American cars use a lot of imported parts and some even the entire engines are Japanese. I'm not arguing that you don't like the car, but just offering some enlightenment.

Awesome Car - I just looked at all of the pictures on your web site.

I am also happy that Hot Rod did a feature on the car

Sure looks good with those wheels on it.

Not a fan of that style on the interior, but I applaud your taking of the road less traveled with the drivetrain. Now, get that thing out and run it!

It's been and being runned! There are plenty of witnesses of this Camaro taking on super bikes. Video clip on youtube of it on the lowest boost setting pulling a 2009 GT-R.


Thanks for the compliments. I'll post up more videos as I get them.

By run it I did not mean street racing or hooning around on public roads.

Taking on "super bikes"? You mean on a track right? Your GT-R encounter.....on a track also?

The video is way not cool. That's a public road, you are ripping through three gears and catching up to that red SUV like its standing still. If THAT is as you say, "under the speed limit" then you got something wrong with that engine and the fact that its in Mexico......WTF! who cares where it is? It's still buffonery.

Like I said. It's a nice looking car.

But......

Many obtuse minded comments so far. Man, some people are harsh!
Well, I Love it! The pipes, I personally would have hid them and 45 degree'd them just before the tail panel and left them flat silver or something of that nature. Or tucked them in the inside the quarter just below the frame rail.

This car is definately a test of Technology V.S. Displacement, and I praise the challenge that you took upon yourself to embrace change. A new day is upon us!

Well, you could have dropped in a ZZ4 crate motor with a power glide, cragar ss 15" wheels and it jacked up in the back. Well, no, thats been done!

Or....Went with a BBC, trans brake, 5.13 Gear and had hell of a good time for about 10 sec. intravel's, Well, no, thats been done too!

There is an ass for every seat! I will never dis-credit someones taste in a build. Just learn from it.

Bitchen Car!
