I'm in... just let me get that new 440 installed.. lol

What other "cool" 68s are out there? Velocity over at Ridetech is pretty badass.. I know I'm missing some.

I would run against this car.. after all I have nothing to lose. lol

If I win it's "Hey, I beat a million $$$$ Camaro!"
If I lose then it's "Hey, what do you expect, the guy had a million $$$$ Camaro!"

It looks like Karma might be done this year. There is another one with a ton of performance potential in it. I think once it is dialed in and Anthony has a bit of seat time that it will be a real contender in the performance arena. And the build quality is also outstanding too!

Karma is in the running for the same competition 50/50 is up for...

Only it's in the lead by a paint job and a motor!

Loved the spread on his paint in the Camaro Performers mag...

No, only that the performance of some of these cars was compared and I think that Karma will be/could be on par with these cars in that area. AFTER a complete shakedown and some serious tuning of both the car and the driver. My point was that Karma is right up ther in quality and possibly performace with the best of them. (obviously the performance has yet to be seen)

I'd still be bringing a trowel to a gunfight, and loving every minute of it. Thanks for the invite James. Put some blue tape over your windwings and we'll count yours as a '68 too. Just let us know when and where!

To each his own on builds like this. The fabrication and ideas on this project are great. Even if there are things that you don't like, there are lots of cool ideas that we could find ways to incorporate. Are there things I would change? Yes, but that may not fit what the owner of this car wanted. Sometimes appearances are forced to change or be out of sync due to the drivetrain requirements of the car.

And I could invite someone like Boris Said to drive all the cars just to make it fair... (I lost the Stig's number)...
