That red Camaro with the billet grill and the flames looks SICK, looks like a twin turbo setup maybe? Nice pics.

No twin turbo on that car, just a 502 I believe. I know the guy who built it,too bad he's a dick. The car was finished a few years ago and he just drives it to all the shows for the owner. I will say the car is driven in all types of weather though!

I was wondering the same thing. And yeah, gotta love seeing a car with huge slicks and wheelie bars parked on the side of the street like it's no big deal.

I'll take a guess and say it probably has never been down the track. That thing looks nasty, but with the wheelbae so short and narrow, it probably couldn't even make a clean hit. Nitrous and a blower on a car that small, and there's no full cage in it? You can't expect me to believe that it doesn't make single digit power for the weight of it.

I'll change my thought: It has never, and never will go down the track. It's a showpiece only.

I agree with you guys. I don't think he uses that car, besides showing it.

I've actually seen a vid of the Camaro at a track. Laying a good minutes worth of rubber.

Sick car, but those intakes are lame without a couple hair dryers attatched too em.


They still let people do burnouts wherever, whenever?
