I just saw one the other day in Tyrone. It was red or orange. It was not that impressive looking. Looks too similar to the stock Camaro. Chevy seems good at making their top of the line cars look way too similar to the base cars. Base C6 and the ZR1 then the V6 Camaro and the ZL1.

Internals are stock but the manifolds are not. The car will be taken to Vengeance Racing to have a custom cam (possibly heads) after the new exhaust is on. VR will also be tuning it as well. With a cam, they make ~390-425whp. Parkers made right at 400whp after his cam built by another shop.
I dyno'd it not long ago and was not impressed with the #'s but after installing the new IM, I noticed that the throttle wasn't opening more than ~75-85%. During my research, this is a common issue with the swap due to the TB actuator and FD accelerator pedal not working together without quick fix, which I did. The car is night/day different.

The wire to the intake tube and the bundle of wires are not from the factory. This was a shop owned car that they are working on. Everything else is factory, they just took the plastic cover off the engine. It has to be one of the ugliest engine bays ever.

I know Dan Gardner (the driver of the FR-S in the first video). Talk about a cocky bastard. We displayed a video of him running his old Scion TC (he was a sponsor driver of ours) at SEMA '08 and the entire time he just sat there watching himself drive around Laguna Seca. He watched that video more times in one day than a nerdy teenage girl has watched Twilight.
I'm not surprised that this bumper melted. Look at the angle of the exhaust. All that heat is going directly towards that area.

That boosted one is still only on 4psi. Its a "disco potato"/gt28 which is appropriately sized for the 2 liter motor.
Visconti is waiting on speed density patch for the ecu before cranking up the boost a bit. That car also had a stock exhaust in that video.

Ya im not saying its fast by any means with only 4 psi. Its just a step in the right direction and I think they should have came that way from the factory.

Edit: This is why I give the zl1 crap. I dont hate the car, I actually like the idea of it but come one now Camaro owners.......
A recent post from camaro5.com(One of the largest camaro 5th gen sites including a few big name GM big wigs who post frequently)
"Guys,
I turned the car on so I could replace the fog and DRL bulbs. I finished an encore I button everything up I wanted to make sure the lights are working. I get back in the car and put the key in the ignition. The key won't turn. And the steering wheel has no "wiggle" to it..."
Conclusion-
" I had to put some serious torque on it with both arms then use my knee and my good arm (broke my elbow when I was a kid, the arm its on is significantly weaker) to hold it while I used my other arm to turn the key.
Lesson learned: Do NOT turn the wheel all the way to one side. Find the "full turned" point then give a quarter turn back to the opposite direction."
I mean ok you broke your arm I got it but really???.......that website has some of the best automotive reads on it. It's absolutely hilarious, including all the excuses on why the zl1 is under performing in the real world :goodjob:

They're crazy man. They love to mess with the newer Pvts it's not even. Even when you see the Apaches over here fly around, they do barrel rolls. When we did a training exercise by assaulting a mock village, the pilot thought it'd be a good idea to just suddenly do a high speed descent after a sharp turn. Our stomachs didn't like that.
And I think that guy thought if he could angle his wheels more it would magically turn into a flying car like the ones in back to the future.

This is his comment about it when it originally happened.
In the middle of all this, I decided to get Ratty's old engine running while it was sitting in the driveway, all out of sheer boredom. I made a new wiring harness for the engine and during the starting process managed to hydro-lock one of the cylinders full of gasoline. I pulled the spark plugs to plunge the gas out, and while turning the engine over, the battery lead hooked up to the harness sparked. The fuel ignited and sent a fireball towards the garage. By sheer chance, the flaming gas landed directly on another 5 gallon tank of gas. The garage more or less exploded. It went up so fast that there was literally no stopping it.

What Does It Take To Kill A Car? - Stance Works (http://www.stanceworks.com/2011/05/kill-car/)
So glad to see that car is coming back. Granted his old school Benz he brought to H20i last year was clean as hell as well.
And that celica is an example of how to make this "fad" look like shit.

Bersa is a bit big/heavy. Bodygaurd sux dick. I looked at a couple and just couldn't get excited about it.
My LCP is awesome. I shoot it fairly rapidly at 30' and can easily place all 7 rounds in an 8" target repeatedly (no crimson trace here.). Its reliable, accurate, affordable and concealable. WTF do you not like?!

Size? Its a hair smaller than the bodygaurd and despite being a long heavy DA pull, I feel like its a good bit better than the bodygaurd.
I like Smith products, but that's one I feel like it needs serious improvement. In all fairness, I did handle a first production run model, so they could be slightly different now...

You parted with it one way or another. lol
And you'll have to buy another one. Its a bit more comfortable to carry than my Glock (its just a tad smaller all the way around), and is a great shooter. Unfortunately it does not shoot to point of aim. Gonna call Smith one of these days about it. Its off for both windage and elevation..

Who needs drag tires anymore? Just pick up a set of Camaro wheels and tires. :idb: Do people actually believe this non-sense. The chief engineer of the Camaro ZL1 claims to have pulled 1.69 60ft times and lifted the front tire off the ground on street tires. Yes the ZL1 is an IRS car........you have to pull pretty damn hard out of the hole to pick up a tire with that. They are Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires. 305/35ZR20 if anyone wants to go pick up a pair :crazy:
As Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer, told us, “We did extensive testing with Goodyear to optimize the tires for the road track, but through the use of sidewall stiffness changes, groove development, compound selection, and footprint shape, these tires perform nearly as good as drag radials. How do we know? Our development engineers ran drag radials over and over again to tune in the Chassis Controls for Performance Launch Control, and ran sub 12-second times during internal testing on the Goodyears. There may have even been a run that lifted the front tire off the ground, but you didn’t hear that from me ... OK, you did.”

It has the NFS feel to it, although it feels a lot better than NFS. It also has some Dirt style elements. Idk man, this one may disappoint some Forza fans but heck I love it. A lot of time will be wasted on this game once it comes out. I like the fact that it kept the driving feel in the earlier games even though the handling's a little bit more forgiving to fit the fact that there are no racing lines because you are driving on open free roam roads.

Best new car for around 30K?
Focus ST, Base model Mustang GT, Challenger RT, Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S, ect..?
Someone I know is looking and the question got me thinking. Would you rather go all out performance like the base 5.0 Mustang GT? Or a loaded Focus ST? Maybe a Subaru BRZ since its reported to be an amazing drivers car?
I know it depends on what the car will be used for and how important performance is in making the decision but Im just curious what other people think. It will be used as a DD. Any car you can think of. Im just trying to help brainstorm even more.
The Focus ST seems like a pretty cool car to me.

If I came into some money I would get a 5.0 Mustang for the weekends and a Focus ST for daily use, so I guess to answer your question I would pick either one of those. I am a Ford guy though, so that is an extremely biased answer. haha

I really like the new Focus ST. Ford already confirmed a 2.3L Focus RS model will be here in the states in 2014. 300hp+.

Hi, kinda new here used to go to meets like 3 years ago. Probably all new people now but I was just wondering if you guys still meet up or is it just the southside meet now?
SHHHH: You should tell your friend to look at a new Mazdaspeed3 if a daily driver 4dr hatch is what he wants. The new ones with the tech package are pretty loaded and they are pretty quick stock. "263-hp, MZR 2.3L (DISI) turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 280 lb-ft of torque" straight off the mazda website. If he drops some extra $$ for mods he can get to 300hp fairly easy. I may be biased though since I just got my white 2008.5 about a week ago :D

Thanks! Thats a route I dont think hes talked about either. Hes really liking the Focus ST but the performance from a base model Mustang GT has him second guessing.

incredible. I was looking at getting a Termi instead of the Z, but my insurance (being I was 18 at the time) would have been over $600/mo. So I paid ~300/mo for the Z. In Retrospect, I should have just put the money in the bank and bought a beater to drive for 2 years, I would have a Termi right now...
But if something goes wrong with the Z i'm just getting a 2013 5.0, black on black, with the Recaros.

how's the shift throw? My new edge mustang had what seems like the longest throw in the world, and my 350 is way short. I would say it was almost a foot from the top of 1st to the bottom of 2nd in my new edge, while its maybe 4" in my Z.

I know with a stock or mildly stock 03/04 Cobra wheel hop will kill those axles if you're drag racing. If you're doing it to go around a track then you'd be off to a good start with that stock IRS setup. You could consider looking into a 8.8 Ford solid axle swap to save some weight from the IRS Check out the Boss or Shelby going around a track. You can get them to handle pretty damn well :goodjob:

Ooooo I see what you're saying. IRS brace will fix that. Billetflow and Steeda both make a good product and its around a couple hundred bucks. No more broken dif covers.

Been busy with setting up a freshwater African Cichlid tank. Im having a blast doing it! I just have 1 Electric Blue(No its not dye injected) at the moment. Its a 20 long tank so I'll only have 4 fish in it when its finished. They can be somewhat aggressive depending on the species. Come spring I'll probably throw more parts on the GT500 and see what she'll throw down.

Saltwater can get insane in prices. Freshwater isnt nearly as bad but you can still dump a lot in a nice setup and some pretty expensive fish. Im absolutely loving it so far. I did cough up some mod money but its all good.
