So, ONLY the Z06es can turn left and right and NOT the "regular old" C5/6, have I got that right, according to you??
Also, you've NEVER been to an open track/time trial event where f bodies (albeit, yes, modded for handling ones) were lapping ALL sorts of Nippon and Euro "exotica", have you??? Yes, the "driver mod" has a lot to do with this, BUT, IF the f bods were just soooo shitty and inferior, even THAT would NOT make up the difference, now would it?? BTW, that same said Nippon and Euro "exotica" was modded as well and in some cases on even stickier rubber.

Yes 1st gens were designed for Trans Am it, but your talking about 40 years ago. Sports cars have advance significantly since.

In order to advance oneself one must admit the limits of certain things. One must be open to new ideas and admit failures/succes. Being a hard head gets you nowhere. A Camaro has its limits, admit it and move on to what its good for. If they were so good the manufacturers would've used them in the pro racing series.

You see any Camaros/Trans-Ams in GT races? We aren't saying they can't handle, but they are no where near track quality cars. Stock for stock a lower powered import will take out a F on a handling course. Say 350z vs. Camaro. I can't remember the last time the Camaro or Trans Am was praised for its excellent handling characteristics. Don't be offended by the truth, just makes you look like you don't know what your talking about. F cars are good for straights, face the truth. Just like Porsches are perfect for road courses. Sure if we didn't know anything about domestics I wonder how we stay in business working on them? What a stupid comment.

This is the first project of this kind in the world and we are proud to be a part of this exclusive project. This projects will create ooohss and ahhhs from both sides of the court. The main goal of this project is to create a substantially high horsepowered 1st Gen Camaro. The 2JZ motor is known for its high horsepower potential and maximum reliability while doing so. We wanted to do something that has never been done before. With the good looks of Classic American Muscle and the spirit of Japanese Turbocharging Technology we have fabricated one of the best combinations in the world. The 1st Gen Camaro is already familiar with a Inline 6 anyhow, that was the base motor that it came with. But it wasn't turbocharged or designed to handle 1,000HP. All opinions are welcomed! Thanks! Just wanted to share with you guys here.

SPECS:
Inline 6 Cylinder (1,000HP est.)
Precision Turbo w/ Anti Surge Technology (Polished)
Massive Greddy Air Intake Manifold (Chromed)
Chrome Intercooler Piping
Blitz Front Mount Intercooler
6 Speed Getrag Manual Transmission
Custom Made High Performance Driveshaft (Designed to handle well over 1,000HP)
Heavy Duty Currie Rear End
Baer 14" Brakes
Aluminum Pulleys
RPS Turbo Clutch with worlds only Single Diaphragm Pressure Plate Technology
RPS CYN-R-G Segmented Flywheel(Worlds First Billet Flywheel Not Designed To Warp)
Hydraulic Brake System (Similar technology to AMG Braking Systems)
Tubular Exhaust Manifold
High Performance Throttle Body
Precision Fuel Injectors
High Flow Billet Fuel Rail
Custom Stand Alone Engine Management System
Blitz Electronic Boost Controller System

Here is a glimpse of the project!

Dontr get me wrong the lsx motors are badass but you cant make that power reliably on stock internals. Also the GTO is Austrailian made with a American motor in it, what the difference between that and a American car with a proven Toyota 2jz in it that can make alot of power very easily???

And as for the F&F 3 Mustang, talk about an abonination. They ruined that classic Mustang with that rice motor. That movie would have been 10x better if they would have swapped a 03-04 Cobra 4.6 S/C into that Mustang and beat the **** out of the 350Z or whatever it was in the final race.

Like I've always said, jap motors make no sense at all. Why use a smaller displacement engine with less cylinders when you can make the same or more power with a larger engine, that sounds about a million times better and has much better power and torque curves??

You can talk "potential" all you want, but there is more to engines than just peak power. A nice looking, nice sounding, torque monster of a motor with a nice fat powerband means more to me than some turbo jap motor that can spit out big numbers at the redline but is otherwise useless.

A Camaro that sounds japanese makes me want to vomit

Nice use of dramatic stereotypes btw.

2jz = still not a deep note, but not weedwhacker high pitched either, and is capable of very usable and strong powerbands if set up correctly

so 2jz > rice all day long

2jz = japanese = rice

It doesn't sound good. Thats the bottom line. And it doesn't make any good power or torque below where the turbo spools, which is around 3K.
