My new car...

Hey guys...remember me. I thought I would show everyone my newest project. It's not a Camaro, but I thought everyone could still appreciate it. Its a 1990 Corvette, ZF6 speed, 57K origional miles, ATI 10lb, twin intercooled Procharger, Lingenfelter SuperRam intake, Lingenfelter full length headers, high flow cat, Borla Exhaust, 58mm throttle body and 30lb injectors. The motor itself is stock for now. It also has the Dana 44 posi rearend with 3.33 gears. No dyno numbers or time slips yet. What do you think...

Yep...i'm sorry to say its gone. This one is just as fast though...will be much faster once the 383, AFR headed long block gets put in its place. Should make about 500-550 RWHP with the blower when it's done.

I liked the Camaro better also. I have nothing against Vettes, but your Camaro was YOUR Camaro. You built it the way you liked, and it was different from the rest, a lot different. I guess if you've seen 1 Vette, you've seen them all. And thats why I'm not to partial to the newer ones.

That's very nice, I like how clean the SC install is, and the engine in general. Get some track times ASAP!
How do you like that ProCharger with the SuperRam? That looks to be the path of my new car.

Hard to believe the Camaro is gone. I'm sure it has a good home though. Nice upgrade btw. I bet it sure is fun to drive.

I have plans on at least taking it to the dyno within the next week. The color is called dark smoke metallic. It looks like a metallic charcoal gray. The SuperRam works very well with the Procharger. the headers and exhaust really opened it up too. If I had to guess I would say that it is capable of mid 12's at 112-115mph right now.

Very nice man, I still like the Camaro better though. That car was gorgeous! I thought you had to sell it cause you had no money to insure it or something... I'm sure this isn't any better!

Very sweet though, keep us updated.
