Re: 98 C5R Drag Camaro Update Ummm...Yeah, don't mind me. 
I remember you saying a WHILE back on LS1(GWP days
) that the car was going to be impressive. Well, that's an understatement.

Re: 98 C5R Drag Camaro Update Now that looks too pretty to just put it in the car... you're going to need another one to display in the house as a piece of artwork.

Re: 98 C5R Drag Camaro Update Hey Tim,
Very nice looking car. Why not cut the rest of the rear flooring out? I'm curious why the chassis builder would leave the middle section of the flooring? What class are you trying to fit? NSCA?
I like your paint!

Re: 98 C5R Drag Camaro Update Very impressive

(Pro Mod., Top Sportsman, Super Comp, Outlaw Pro Street, etc.)

How much shots needed to get up to 1800 HP??

Re: 98 C5R Drag Camaro Update Thanks guys,
This project has been a long journey and still requires a couple more months of work.
We are currently working on the custom stepped headers along with supercharger brackets and intercooler pluming. One thing’s for sure, it’s going to look good.
XLR8NSS
Been awhile, I’d almost forgotten about that GWP thing, THANKS.
2001-WS6
I’m sure I can get A.R.E to build me another one. Wade had a couple of ideas for the next one.
4MulaJoe
Race weight should be under 2,900, no number yet.
SLED28
I’ll definitely keep you guys updated on this deal.
CAT3
Daily Driver???
It would be, if it had provisions for an alternator. LOL
GoFast / Rick C5
Why not cut the rest of the rear flooring out?
I would love to save the weight, but NHRA Super Stock rules don’t allow it. The value in this chassis is that MPR built it for SS rules. We can always pull the engine and have a rolling SS chassis for sale.
unit213
What kind of number are you expecting?
1000+ rwhp and if we can keep the weight down, it should run somewhere around 8 seconds
What do you guys think of the web site? Is it easy enough to navigate or do you have any suggestions?
I’ll keep you all updated now that there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: 98 C5R Drag Camaro Update Would that be 8.0 seconds or 8.99 seconds? Big difference as you know. I'm guessing higher 8's since you estimate around 1,000hp. Either way, I can't wait to see some track vids.
