Default 5th gen Camaro build
Heres a car we are building for a customer. Its a 25.3 caged with a torque arm style suspension. We worked with Racecraft to build a bolt in front suspension with Santhuff struts. We started with a 2010 V6 Camaro. The stock weight of the car was 3000lbs without the engine or trans. The finished product with a Procharged BBC will be close to 2900 lbs with driver.

The master cylinder was moved into the passenger compartment under the dash for header clearance.

I got a V6 Camaro with 45000 miles complete and running for $10,000.00. A body in white costs $7500.00 and you still got to buy all the other stuff to make the car complete.

some sick craftsmanship brian! and as always i really appreciate your help and service on and off the track.

On a side note if anyone is thinking about have Madman/brian do work for you he goes above and beyond just the work. He's a great guy to have on your side at the track for advice.


We've got a new motor combo this year. hopefully i'll catch you at the track and you can check it out and shoot the **** a second.
