Hey Cap...I got a new toy!

[Shuffler]

This member was lucky he hit a small tree and took it out. His was a 2010 camaro that normally runs 10 second quarters.

One week later he had already replaced it with a 2011. It'll be going into the shop soon to install his heads, whipple SC, and have the axles and tranny worked over.

His car was and is an A6.

jeeze....i picked the wrong living. 

 oh yea.........there were 5 liter mustangs running 10's last year. 

[Shuffler]

Oh is he by no means the fastes, quickest, or most HP 5th Gen Camaro.

We have another in the club that was the fastest 5th gen in the world till recently. It is 1015 HP at the rear wheels. It is currently number 4. Another is a Hennessey we have that has dyno'd 1040 RWHP and over 1000 ft lbs tq. These are street cars.

I was just refering to the wreck when racing a lightning.

 know what just hit me....we shouldn't start this.....2 reasons.....first we're hijacking a thread about one helluva cool truck.....second, youknowwho's gonna be along in a bit with a 2 kajillion hp something or other.

Hi Jack away...I enjoy hearing about cars.   Its not a problem.

The truck has factory 4.10s and a e4od, which I'm more of a stick shift guy than anything.  So I'm thinking of converting it to a TKO-600, seems like it could be a fun idea. 

At that point then I don't need an ECU to run the trans, so I can run a Mustang 9AL ECU, and big MAF.  I also just ordered some underdrives and still looking for the cold air fit from my 89 Notch I used to have. Also doing a little engineering for some long bar traction bars for the rear end. Seem that being ultra light in the tail equals craptastic 60ft times.

Then after the TKO swap I'll really dig into the engine.  Coast Hi Performance has a really nice 427 stroker kit for 351Ws.   Overall I want the truck in the 11s, which would be sufficent for 4,000 p/u.

[MaSonZ]

Tranny conversion. interesting. gotta buy it all. good luck 

on a side note, Manual is more fun to drive. gioves you something to do while your driving

I thought the street legal camaro record is around 7.7 by a LMR (late model racecraft) car.

Of course, street legal and "equipped with all factory comfort items" (non-stripped) are pretty different from each other.

 big difference as i'm sure you know, between "street legal" and daily driver.....or even legitimately street legal.........

LMR does have the quickest now I believe. They are also in Houston and do work on some of the club cars.

Here is a new article on the car I am talking abut....
