That is too friggin cool and it sent chills right thru me just looking at the photo and it on a drag strip.

Be cool to get them on the same track at the same time and at the end both cross the line together.

Yea man it is pretty amazing seeing it back on the track again. Ben and I spent a lot of time together working on that car. I tried to buy it myself but when I found it sitting in the weeds out in the country completely gutted to the bare shell I was flat broke and unemployed. I tried my best to come up with the cash to buy it but by the time I was working again it was already bought. Ross, the new owner is a really great dude. We have become friends through that car. It brings back great memories of one of my best friends when I see it go down the track. I didn't know Ben for very long but those few years we hung out a lot and had some great times. I'm going to talk to Ross tomorrow and see about bringing it to the party. Hopefully Ill be able to leave my Trans Am with him and take the Z28 for the afternoon.

That's a very cool picture Jeremy! I'm glad to see the car back up and running again. I remember running that car when Ben had it.
RIP BEN!!! **Your memory lives on friend!

How is that any longer then a LSwan to Swap a pill, make sure the nitrogen is full in the nano, open the laptop swap programs, and unroll that mat and place the picture of benny on the end and get on your knees and start praying to your god.. Your chant is probably "Oh great one, make my camaro be as fast as yours, oh please great one allow my camaro to as fast yours"

I used to do the Japanese car thing, but the overnight parts from japan were costly on my wallet. So I had to get a part time job at night hijacking semi trucks with my other fellow money strapped friends who had really strange fashion taste.

bah. i don't even have a camaro. and technically...motor to motor the camaro i had was quicker than his...without the heads, cam, suspension components, etc.

you and i both know getting an lsjuan to run 11.99 isn't all that tough. let's not open that can of worms...it's not like i crashed the ta into a dump truck or anything. maybe you'd believe me because the fbod brakes are quite inferior to basically everything else.
