Frank Hartman (Captthunder) built (or bought?) some nice headlights covers for his Camaro, which would put you in
/ALT but running a turbo LSx will probably put you in a Modified class anyways. We made ours with flexible poly from
Allstar Performance and braced the cover with 1/4" solid rod. We used the same material for our chin spoiler; it was
easy to cut, drill into and bend around a support structure.
As for street legality, I drove the Camaro to and from meets at Maxton before we switched fuel systems (and went to
a 3 gallon cell)... The 2.50 rear made stop and go ridiculous, but that was with a T56 and later a Jerico. A 4L80 would
be much less of a pain.
Good luck, and feel free to PM me with any questions or pointers. We built a 200mph car on a slim budget; with the more
widely available/cheaper turbo stuff out there now, you can do better with less $ I'm sure.
Thanks, I may yet.
I looked at the thread of JL222, makes my Camaro, or a dedicated TransAm, seem silly after that, except I doubt I could rent a run.
BTW, the Veyron was hypothetical, I'm not making that much money.
I'm thinking about trying for a record 305-cubic-inch with a 3.736" bore, I doubt any 305 ever saw 200, but I have 2 4.8L LSx engines now, and I'm more likely to get a V6 'bird, then get the T/A aero / GFX bits from salvage yards.
I saw the rule about different years of parts, but I'm guessing that since an '85 T/A is no different than a '90, that isn't what was meant. So if one yard has an 86 nose, and another had an 87 rear bumper, I could still be legal even if the shell is an '85. Just not trying a '91 nose on an '82-'90 or some such.
I'm hoping to bring a decent car and make some 124-MPH runs this August, and meet all my new friends here.
