most radical second gen :)

[ParkerRS]

I'm working on one right now, see project Fool's Gold in the projects section.

The limiting factor when getting low is the outer rear wheel wells. There is only about an inch give or take a 1/4 between it and the outside skin (qaurter panel). You can't move it enough for an appreciable difference considering the amount of work. In my opinion swelling or reworking the qaurter in this area will ruin the smooth lines of the car.

You can get lower than the DSE car or Dale jr. car but only with smaller section width tires and wheels. To get into the deeper part of the wheelwell and sit the car down further your wheel/tire combo would have to be about 2.5-3 inches inside of the wheel opening lip.

I experimented with how low I could take the LD 3-link when notching my frame rails. The suspension wasn't the limiting factor the outer wheelwells lock you into a certain stance while still retaining useable travel.

Oh I've seen yours Tommy. I'm on muscle rides and pt.com I love it. I figured the rear wheel wells were a problem. Thank you for the insight as that's the first place I was going to go to see about gaining some room.

My vote goes to Mark Gile's '78 Camaro:

I would have to agree with Neil B thats Marks Giles 78 camaro is just bad ass

I think for overall performance and custom fabrication Detroit Speed and Engeneering's second gen takes it.

A close second would be Dale Jr's Camaro.

There is also the greening auto company Camaro.

hmmmm that picture of the DSE test car has it sitting lower than I thought. Considering my rear wheel wells are bigger than a camaros, I should be able to put my TA that low no problems. Question is can I do it with leaf springs in the rear? Anyone know the answer to that? Actually, can my front suspension even go that low without using their subframe?

To answer my own questions though, I think Giles car is the most radical. That article calling it NASCAR touring is a really good way to sum it up.

I think silver summed it up right there. I would also add Splitter to the list.

If I had to name the baddest of the bad it would probably be the DSE test car for me. I love the almost stock look under the hood and the subtlety of the car.

Dale Jr's Camaro is more fabricated and modified than Kyle's car. And if you REALLY want to go for that standard, Mark Giles car absolutely takes it. I know because I sat in it.



Here's a couple more shots too.









The work on this car is insane. I wish I had a better camera and was able to take more shots of it. And it's awesome how it burns your eyes when you're cruising behind him.
