 Meet you at the Farm for a Friday Test n Tune (when it opens). Then the trip to Zmax for Drag N Brag. Then a trip to Ohio. Then the car gets a cage. Because you don't want to be one of "those guys" that runs greater than 135 then brakes prior to the traps. etc.etc.etc.

You my friend have bought one bad ass ride.  The modern muscle cars are speed, comfort and a joy to drive!!

Plmkrze,

The Stude is my main LSR Car,,, The Vicky is being set up for "The Farm" and Zmax"  for Drag Racing.

The Camaro is for Shifts and Giggles... also the reason for the HP Upgrade question is
the ZL1 Camaro is due out in April at 580 HP (it is superchaged),,, I am just doing a little research now... so If my
Lil Brother gets the ZL1,,, I would have a plan to wax him ,,, LOL

If he gets the supercharged version your NA will be just a little short. I raced another STR8 with a Kenne Bell at VMP. I had him in the lights and to 60 foot. (he was leaving soft) Then it was all tail lights and ass.

Just start Google searching. The aftermarket has numerous supercharger kits. The question is which one? Air to air intercooler, Air to water? Centrifical or screw? Cat back, which one? Cold Air, which one? Tuner again which one? Drag radials? Line Lock? MSD Coils?  :?

I will say this. I have had a ton of fun with my new generation muscle car. I have raced at the Farm in August, been all hot and sweaty. Folded up the pop up canopy, threw it and the chairs in the trunk and drove home in the AC with the Siruis blasting thru 13 speakers. Oh what a life.  :-)

So, do you have to build another shop to hold this one? :-D

Trent,  

The Small Garage (#1) Holds 3 cars no problem as well as storage and my office etc..
(the New Camaro will stay in #1 with the 39 Chevy Coupe and the 36 Ford Roadster)


The Larger #2 (Garage-Ma-Hall)  can "store"  as many as 9 cars, but is roomy enough for working on and parking 5 or 6 cars and still leave room to work and get on and off the lift.

I do plan to sell the 70 Ford 429 Cobra Jet Torino (as soon as I figure how to post pics and ad on Ebay)

Hey Charles,

You haven't posted in a while, you still with us?  Or are you having to much fun with your new Camaro?
