Well yesterday took the Camaro to the drag strip at Bandimere speedway. I had her all washed up, so I took some pics before I drove down early in the morning. Thought I would share them with you all!!

Before the track... Sunrise pics




Here she is at the track...








Thanks to my camera woman for taking all the pics at the track while I was doing work!!!!

 

whos that in front of your car??

 

car is lookin very sharp as usual

 

VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that paint job!

 

nice... what'd she run??

 

Damn I've really got to hand it to you.. you've put together one of the most tastefully put together cars I've seen. Just beautiful man keep it up!

 

that car is sweet. great lookin thirdgen man! so what was youre best e/t???

 

Nice pic! Good job, looks great! Oh yeah, the car looks ok too.

 

Thanks guys!!! The car ran well at the track, not the best she has ran, but the best with this wheel and tire combo.

Best of the day was a 15.293 @ 90.25mph with 2.3 60'.... Before you go telling me my car is slow remember that I am at 5280 ft elevation.

 

all 305 are slow, but hey, youd be running mid 14's at any decent elevation track, i know a guy that run at bandmere with a 99 trans am WS6, he runs 11's, with a 550RWHP engine, but would be in the 10's at other tracks

 

"all 305 are slow, but hey, youd be running mid 14's at any decent elevation track"
12 pd's of boost wouldnt hurt.

 

Yeah I need to get some sticky tires, and that should put into the 14's up here pretty easy. The best she has run on my old set of Zr1's was 15.02, and with a conversion calulator someone showed me it should run 13.89 at sea level... I'm pretty sure I would have even bigger traction problems at lower elevation though.

Boost would be cool, but I need more dough for that

 

that car is freakin nice man!!!

 

Gorgeous car. Very clean, good work.

 

i like the camera girl

 

Outstanding as usual.

 

yep...ALL305's are slow

 

Owned.

 

i second that

 

with some more launch practice you should be able to hit the 14's. a 2.3 60' is slow even for a fwd car. i cut a 2.09 60' with my stock lb9 auto and ran a 15.400 at 86.

 

wow the ground effects look great in those pictures! some of the pics you have taken made me unsure whether i like the teal accents, but i do now. very unique and race car looking (not in a bad way). cute girl too

 

looks awesome !!

 

I have plans to help improve traction. Mainly I am going to get a pair of 295/35 Bfg G-force Drag radials, Lca reloc. brackets, and get subframe connectors (which I should have got a long time ago). That should make a big difference.

As far as the paint goes, I had plans and an appointment to get the stripes and accents painted satin black to give it a "meaner" look, but my painter WON'T let me change it. I get compliments on the teal all the time, and probably won't end up changing it... Since my painter is making me think about it untill his schuedle opens up (who knows when that will be).

Thanks again for ALL the compliments, I appriceate it!!!

 

I was wondering on the status of your new paint scheme...

nice pics as usual, great looking car.

 

I'm still waiting for some pictures of that dash cap. Looks amazing as usual.

 

i agree my old 13.0 305 and 11.60 on 150 shot was slow as well. Just think of how much faster it would be with more CI

 

What kind of pics did you want to see?? I forgot that I was supposed to post more of those. LMK

 

it's pretty ridiculous, but i'm sticking with it for now. i'm redoing some 416's and hoping for 11's n/a. which heads were you using on your old 305?

 

that car looks sick...i like the blue fade on the gfx's

 

Incredible car as usual man! Keep on waxing

 

i was using some 416s with some bowl cleanup and 1.94/1.50 valves in it.

 

pretty sweet looking ride, just add traction!

 

i'm actually thinking that the 1.84 intake valve might be the trick though. keeping shrouding to a minimal. this is the size valve that stock eliminator guys have to run and is what i ran on my first combo that went 13.0's

 

no idea honestly, I had $600 into the whole motor when I was done and just bought the carb and nitrous kit and took it to the track to make some money.
