Granatellis turbocharged '82 camaro

I think this is one of the best representatives of a turbocharged third gen camaro. I know it was put together a long time ago, but it is still awesome even by todays standards. 220 mph at mud lake and able to cruise in the L.A. traffic without over heating. It gets my vote. Don't know too many cars today that can do that. :hail: :hail:

Why do you think that cool cars could not be built back in 1984?

I dont think he meant cool cars couldn't be built in 84, but just the thought of someone browsing a 1984 magazine in 2003 is kind of funny.

from what the old magazine says, the carbs were plumbed into the original Bosch fuel injection system since the motor required more fuel and air than the fuel injection could provide. I'm surprised they used 3310-2 carbs, though, but that might of been all they had. Wish someone could post some pics of the motor. It is really impressive. :hail:
