Default Musclerodz introduces project "N-XSS"

Musclerodz is proud to make project "N-XSS" public. We have had this project unders wraps for several months while the wish list of parts was finalized and the engine built. As you might of guess by the name, this 67 Camaro is being built "in excess" of everything.

With out giving away too much here is a quick list of parts as follows:

Speedtech front sub
Alston Air Link rear
Accu-air management system
magna-charged LS3
6 speed manual
Marquez interior
host of Marquez and Fesler billet parts
ISIS wiring
Autorad radiator and core support
Boze wheels
and many other goodies I have forgot....

I will update this thread with more info in the next few days, but for now we will start with the rendering my customer had done as a teaser.

Default Musclerodz is building my car

I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself - long time viewer and admirer of the cars on here. I am fortunate to have Mike working on my car - he is a very patient man - I have thrown dozens of questions at him every day for a long time and he still hasn't gotten rid of me. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a passion and precision for his craft. I know I am in good hands.

I look forward to all ideas, criticism, and sarcasm from anybody. Reading and seeing pics has made me spend more than I ever thought possible.

And now for the heart of this project. First ever Wegner built Magnacharged LS3. Waiting for specs from Wener, but it is a 418 ci stoker with a TVS2300 pumping 15 lbs boost. Front drive system is one off including the new CNC inlet for the maggy to accept a 102 mm TB. Engine made 914 hp and 870 lb/tq. A rep from Magnuson was there, and to their knowledge this is the most anything has gotten out of a small cube LS3 with the TVS2300. Here is a link to the dyno run. Turn up your speakers!

What color is that called?

There was an early GTO at Car Craft this weekend in St. Paul with a color similar to that...my God it was a thing of beauty. May be color used on some late model GTO's...for sure the concept.

Rendering color is a little dark. It will be more of a yellow/gold base with orange pearl.

Killer Ride. I like the Boze wheels. And the HP and TQ aren't bad either. Can't wait for more pics
