Default Build Name still to be decided 68 RS V10

Hi Gents
Hello from South Africa just thought I would share the new build that is about to Start
Please Help me name my new project car
Here is a brief summary of what is about to happen


I have a 1968 Chev Camaro RS and with this have decided to do a little different build due to a few challenges this side

I have now purchased a complete Drivetrain from a Audi S6 5.2 liter V10 Tiptronic also same motor as Lambo Gallardo
This includes the full front and rear suspension management system etc

Now comes the fun of merging the 2 together to become a true Camaro Quattro, with launch control,electronic adjustable suspension, ABS etc

Pictures to follow real soon

Any thoughts or opinions will be greatly Appreciatted

Least the wheelbase and track width is the same

This is a bigger plus than you know! Most modern cars have a very wide track. Awesome project!

Paint it orange and call it a CamQuat.
Seriously sounds like a cool project.

Very cool project! Those V10's make magnificent noises. Yet they lack the torque we are used to with our big cube V8's.

Do you plan to mod the engine at all?

And yes I have driven a Gallardo with this motor so I speak from experience.
