Default BMR announces Project Trilo-G

Have you ever wanted to see exactly what a product can do for your car? Of course. Who wants to buy something without justifying it's benefits? Companies can claim that their products do what they say they will or we can just show you. That's what this project build is all about. Follow us as we take our 2010 Camaro SS in bone stock trim through various bench mark tests, establish a base line then perform various suspension and chassis modifications to the car step-by-step, re-testing throughout the process. Along the way we will also document the installation and testing of various other components that may become necessary as we push the OE component beyond it's capabilities (ex. - clutch, brakes, etc.) or require more power to properly test our products.

.....The Fifth generation of Chevrolet's F-Body is a very solid platform equipped with an equally refined suspension design. On the other hand, it is a very heavy car and still loaded with compromises. Stamped steel suspension links, GM's notorious 4wd fender gaps, and limited suspension adjustability are only a few potential areas for improvement. BMR products have always been about functionality and we will attempt to prove with this testing just what BMR products can do for your 2010. To properly test all aspects of this platform it is our goal to exceed 1G in three different areas - acceleration, handling, and braking....

Have already finished up the prototypes and final bar specs just waiting to get them in production might be another 3-4 weeks before they are available to the public.

This should be really cool to watch! Thanks for doing this! Not only is it great advertising for yall, but it's also nice to see a fully documented build like this.

Looking forward to the results!

It would be fantastic if you could come up with some weight saving components. Shaving 150lbs off these cars would go a long way imo.

Absolutely. The new Camaro is an awesome car in my opinion, one of the only really bad things about it is it's excessive weight.
The new, more potent 2011 Mustang GT is coming with 412hp and is slated to weigh only 3605 pounds so a little Camaro weight reduction program couldn't come at a better time.
