Chris,

Thats a very nice car you have there. I wish I still had my first 69 Camaro back when I was sixteen. Great story.

No doubt, Chris. No doubt.

And I can't think of a better car to serve as the first Lateral-g "monthly feature."

That's exactly what I thought, Steve.

Chris is on vacation this week in Alaska, but I'm sure he'll chime in once he gets back home.

Just think--By the time his son comes of age, the car will be ready for a makeover. Let's see, Year: 2020. Chris and his son can work together to install that trick new ABS/ASR/Throttle-by-Wire system that MSD just introduced at SEMA 2019. And they can finally get around to converting the LS1 over to diesel. Who knows--Maybe they'll even make room for some 435mm tires out back. Or they can just go for the "old school" look and run 335's.
