Didn't Tony end up with the Formula, or is that a different car?

BTW: Last I heard the Camaro was still togethor and running but it had a bunch of bugs.

RR's old silver camaro is in Chicago and has not been raced I think since the guy bought it.

Someone on here bought his formula.

Putting almost 1000hp to a stock LS1 was a cool idea

I think he put an FE6.0 in it before he sold it though.

I now own RR's silver Formula. A local guy bought it and changed it to a heads/cam/nitrous car, and I picked it up off of him about 3 months ago.

The car has been completely gutted down to the shell, and basically everything has been replaced. I call it "Project Censored" for obvious reasons

Here is what it had done at Madman Racing:

Wolfe 10-point chrome moly cage (certified for 7.50 ET or slower)
cam-lock harnesses installed (both seats)
window net installed
Wolfe thru-floor subframe connectors
Billingsley fab 9" rearend w/ anti-roll bar (35-spline, gun drilled axles)
BMR torque arm, LCA's, panhard
BMR k-member with upper and lower A's
QA1 coil overs
Aerospace front brakes
Strange rear brakes
New brake lines and braided lines
Custom tranny x-member
TCI Dedenbear cased Powerglide installed
TCI torque converter (stalled for 900-1000 rwhp @ 3000 lbs)
TCI Outlaw shifter
TCI trans-brake
TCI tranny cooler
Thunder Racing line-lock kit
Billingsley ABS delete block
Madman manual front steering rack
Madman heater delete firewall plate
A/C system completely removed (including inside dash)
catback system removed
Power steering pump removed
airbags removed
ARP lug studs pressed into front hubs

Up next:
408ci iron block is being built by LME (9.0:1)
AFR 225 heads
Custom twin-turbo setup (twin 60mm) using 6.0L manifolds
Install Weld Aluma-Star wheels and tires (billet fronts)
Revise the interior with lightweight carpet and new seat covers.

The QMP silver camaro is in located in a northern chicago burb by me. It hasn't been driven in a long time to my knowledge. Ask 97M6Formula about it if you really need to know, his buddy owns it. I haven't seen the car in about 2 years.

I haven't seen anyone do thru-floor subframe connectors yet on the 4th gen. I was curious about doing it a few years back. Looks good.

Were they just a standardized connector used for the mustangs as well, or were they model specific for the 4th gens?

Tiago, I'll probably buy a TIG and fab up the turbo kit myself, since I have to build one for the '69 SS as well.

The subframes are model specific, Wolfe makes them. They really tie in well with everything and should make the car really stiff.

My old LT1 convertible had through the floor subframe connectors. They were custom made chromoly pieces. The guy that put my roll bar in did them and they worked out awesome! I never got pictures of it with the carpet out of the car, though.

Any pics of it underneath? The vert floor pan is quite a bit different than Tony's formula and was curious of what was cut out to fit them. (I have a vert)
