Sick.


I wanna do some of the same things only in black. That body work is primo. How much did the front grills and prefab work run you? Did you just expand on the stock body kit or did you have an entirely new one made?


Ugh, I don't get mine until june of next year, I can't wait

minus all the excess oragnge thats a bad *** car, and im not even a huge fan of the camaro to begin with.

i think if the wheels were satin black, the part that is between the tips was black and also the spoiler was black it would be alot better.

good work tho.

The body kit isn't my style (I'm not a fan of body kits in general IMO, only a few types look good on only a few cars). But the rest is certainly cool.

Im not really into the body kit thing either, but I'm in love with the cowl hood. Chevy should put that on the Z28.

And what charger is that the standard p1 or d1. If so than i doubt its really a 9 second car, but if its a F1C or something like that it may be close.


My bad its a vortech and it sounds pretty badass, but is it a sotck bottom end becuase the goal is 1000hp and a stock LS3 wont take that.

Beautiful!!!! I love it. dont mind the body kit at all. That grill and cowl jus set it off. Needs some darker tint and an eyebrow though.

I can't believe a custom would leave the ugly stock engine cover, other than that, it pretty nice looking.

Default Imo

The body kit makes it look too bulky and don't really flow. The grille looks like it sticks out way too far IMO, if it was set back further and black . The rear looks really, fake(?) I guess.

Is the motor stock?

Was this a critique thread? If not nevermind what I just said...

The body kit is hideous. The grills don't look very good either. The rims are a little flashy, but fit the car surprisingly well and I like the hood.

This is a SEMA car top to bottom. I dont think you could push that car off a cliff to a 9 sec pass.

For those of you who haven't had the time to check out our website for the car (www.9secondcamaro.com) I'll give a quick rundown of what this car is made of.

404ci modern muscle stroker
-Callies Dragonslayer crank - 4" stroke
-Callies Compstar Rods
-Diamond -28cc pistons
-ARP hardware
Mast motorsports medium bore heads
Mast motorsports VVT cam
The only Vortech V7-Ysi blower on a 5th gen period.
-pullied for approximately 18psi
Labonte Motorsports digital methanol injection
Bowler 6L80E transmission
Driveshaft shop 1000hp axles
Monster Baer brakes
Pedders XA extreme suspension package

We're obviously shooting for the holy grail of a 9 second ET. GM was pretty much guaranteed to see 1000bhp (approximately 850rwhp). This is one of 8 dollar Camaros awarded this year.

The suspension alone has been show to pull past 1.2g skidpad. This thing will go fast, stop fast, and carve up corners.
