You have to be careful how much you improve in each iteration as you may run out of things to improve but I guess that is what we think every time you build a new car.

With the quality of each build my guess it that the next car has already been conceptualized during this build and will be ironed out after Hellfire has a few days at the track.

Amazing work, you definitely set the bar and inspire everyone in this hobby.

Keep up the killer work, cant wait to see a head to head between Hellfire and the new Z-28.

Mark - - have you ran into any engineering students that know who you are and/or follow your projects?

Just curious to what level of celebrity you've achieved among the younger demographic.

I know I definitely knew of Mark when I was an engineering student between 2003 and 2007. I would have done backflips up and down the street at the chance to work with him back then!

Is there a list of every Camaro Mark has built at this point?

I'd love to see a breakdown of the evolution of his cars from the very first to most recent.

Mark, how big are those front wheels/tires? And did you need to massage the Anvil fenders and inners to get them to fit?

I think there is on this site. If Jody doesn't respond, maybe PM him about it. It's been asked before.

I was at FSAE Michigan Competition last year. I'm the Technical Director for the Cal Poly FSAE team. I talked with an engineer that said he worked with you on the new Z28, in the Vehicle Dynamics Group. He was formally from Purdue, but I don't recall his name. He was surprised I knew who you were, and that you build 1st Gen Camaros. I really wish you would have came to our school! I'm graduating in Mechanical Engineering this spring, and I've always wanted to work for GM. I'd love to shoot you a resume. I have a good GPA, FSAE experience, I worked for a NASCAR team, rocket company, as a Machine Shop Technician, and did a 1971 Camaro build. I'm in my early-mid 20's. You can reach me at [email protected]. I'm also real good at pushing a broom.

Sorry Mark and Lateral-g, for an off topic post to your thread. I just don't feel like you get opportunities like this everyday. Those Cal Berkeley guys were lucky!
