Gil Mobley has the quickest and fastest N20 powered Outlaw 10.5 car in the world. It's a 4th-Gen built by Vanishing Point Race Cars.

quickest outlaw 10.5w car period would be linch's mustang, 6.66...


kirks car and mobley's are 3/4 chassis cars, not really back halved...

have 'nt seen to many back half 4 gen's... the only ones i know of are also 3/4 chassis cars with stock front ends just like the 3 mentioned above..

Mobley has been quicker and faster than Kirk with N20.

Somone on here had just posted up pics a few weeks ago of their backhalfed camaro in this section of the forum. Search around and you should be able to find them.

WTF is up with the yellow Camaro front end. Doesn't have the shock towers/struts any more?

By looking at the A-arms, kinda appears to be 1st gen Camaro A-arms & subrame.

Why would someone remove the stock front section like that on a mild pro-street deal? Only thing I can think is if the car was a totalled wreck in the front and they had to cut the clip off to save the body?

the yellow camaro is a 94 with the newer front end. it actually uses a 67-69 front sub-frame. i met the guy at route 66. anyway, i am mailing the build-up pics of my car to you now. i used the chassis engineering kit with round tube frame rails.

i doubt it was... maybe tho. Ya figure you can lose alot of weight off the front of the car in going that route. 9sec93 did something similar to that but he utilized the stock frame components and redid the shock towers. But il let him expound on that for you guys, it came out nice.



Phil,

my car got dropped off at the chassis shop about a week and a half ago, they should be starting in on it this week or so. ill post up progress pics as i get them from my guy. I decided i want to use aftermarket upper A arms so weve gotta figure out building some new mounts to make them work.
