69 Camaro at Best of Show

[Roe]

Sweet Car!!!!!!!

Update, because a bunch of you guys keep reminding me that I own this damn thing.

It has been a while, But that's okay, sometimes things take a while, and getting angry rarely helps the process in the end. Having my Mustang back up car has been nice as I've still been able to attend driving events and hang out with the usual suspects, (you guys know who you are), and that is really where the fun is. Although, now that I think about it, the powers of the dark side seem to have helped me along. I never won an event of any kind in the Camaro, but have managed two class wins in the Mustang

Anyway, I haven't forgotten about the Camaro and it is actually coming together now. I know it isn't saying much, but it will be done before Dave's car.
I've been getting parts in (finally). The block is done Steve, at R.E.D. did a great job, and I just want to make sure that no one thinks he was the hold up. I finally got to pick the heads up. They are RHS's new Pro Elite LS7 heads. I also spent part of today figuring out how to pull vacuum and run a map sensor off of the intake manifold. I think I've devised something that will work. Now I just have to drill and tap each individual runner, the idea of which kinda frightens me, because you only get one opportunity.

Dangit I was hoping you sold this and just had the Mustang now.

Pick a side dude. Rob needs some backup.

You can't tell me to pick a side until you do something about those stripes.

Sold it? Sell it? Nah, it has been just long enough that it will feel like driving a new car when I get it back. Actually, it probably will feel like a new car. I've gotta resize my master cylinders for less pedal effort, which should also make the brakes feel more aggressive. I mean I'll be adding almost 200hp and when you add that much power, you're going to feel like your brakes suck

"Pro Elite" eh? Sounds fancy. Bolt it together already and let's go! Time to get the purple cone eater back on track!

Whaddayamean you only get one opportunity? You got eight of 'em. Get drillin' and work it out as you go!

Make a mistake, have some JB Weld handy.

Enough with the pick a side thing already, you guys. Can't I have both? I see it as two distinct categories. Last night at Adams, running a Ford was like competing in the Special Olympics, or Paralympics to be a little more kind. Yes, I won for having the fastest Ford, but I was two seconds of the fast time of the day.
