$139,000. That includes the brand new Camaro SS-II, in either 4L80E or T56 options. The cool thing is, if you want more power, it's as simple as bolting on larger turbochargers with race gas, and shooting for the moon. All supporting modifications are in place to handle 2,000hp.
Full interior, air conditioning, power steering, all OEM options functional and all creature comforts in tact. It's an awesome thing.

Definately seems like it's built to handle whatever you want to throw at it, very nice job with this thing so far! Out of curiosity, what crank and rods are in that block? And what size turbos are you guys planning on putting on it? 1200hp seems like a lot for 93 octane, you don't think it will need higher octane?

Yes sir, that was another one of my babies (i.e. a project I get emotionally attached to). It belongs to a good friend and customer of mine, his car is absolutely PERFECT.

Well, without going into the specific mechanics of the entire setup; we've got 3.5liters per bank, an incredibly well breathing induction system/engine, and turbochargers capable of 700bhp a piece. I'm going to bet 15-17psi is going to be the maximum pressure required to hit the target horsepower.

I'll ask, but at the velocity his life moves, he barely has time to scratch his nose. I'd love to get him involved with the build on a public level.

Are you guys making a new front bumper cover? If so, any artwork?

However, to answer your question directly, we stand behind our work. The point of the above paragraph is that the car is not invincible, it is still a car, and will need to be cared for as such. As long as this is done, nothing will fail. If something does due to our design or method, we stand behind it.
Anything is possible, obviously, for a nominal price adjustment.

The car will have simply designed sideskirts to visually continue the body line further down and end the line sharply (i.e. to keep it from visually wrapping under, like stock). As well as a front carbon fiber spoiler and rear carbon fiber valence. These are custom units, not in production or available for public sale.

That is the hope! I think it's going to look excellent when it comes out.
The Pro Torque torque converter came in today...
Notice anything different here? That's right, it's a six pad billet plate, as opposed to the standard three pad. Another full custom "doesn't exist" unit...
The Marcella intake manifold mocked in place...
The intake manifold to cowl clearance...
Crawford test fitting the 102mm billet aluminum Nick Williams throttle body. Another "doesn't exist" component when ordered...
Intercooler core in place for test fitting...

VERY NICE BUILD JORDAN!!! Obvioulsy well thought out from nose to tail. I cant wait to see it finished & see some numbers. At 15 psi it should run on pump gas (mine does) and could easily make 1200hp with twins. 
I'm impressed Eric went GM. He must have a degree in finance, he paid $139k for a car that will slap the snot-bubbles outta those exotics that cost 3X as much. VERY COOL!

The OEM GM automatic conversion components came in;
- Steering wheel and paddle shift components
- Brake pedal assembly
- Shifter assembly and components
Paddle shift components in place...
Shifter assembly...
Brake pedal assembly...
BMR trailing and toe arms...
The Pedders bushings ready to go in...
The shifter assembly will bolt directly in without modification to the tunnel, great news...
The 4L80E to manual Zeta adapter bracket Crawford fabricated...
The transmission pan can still be accessed and dropped like stock...

Correct you are, it will interface like stock, but is controlled independently via a TCI controller. The only difference in the interface will be an LCD screen on the steering wheel which displays which gear is manually selected, otherwise he'd have no idea.
