The MACK DADDY OF 510s!!!!!!!

[StraightSix]

Yea the 510 was James Apels, Joes Z28 was a freaking monster man. Both Joe and James are super cool guys. I always enjoy talking to them.

I only met James once or twice when I was working at the Duluth Station Kauffman, which is also where I worked with Joe.

I agree both are very cool cats to talk to. Joe left the company and was getting into WERA, IIRC. Joe's Z28 was a very nicely done car. As I recall, that car held the record for most hp from a NA SBC for a good while at Atlanta Chassis Dyno.

Oh well, enough reminiscing.

Before the Z28, Joe had a really clean White ITC 510 that was still street legal. It was the best handling 510 I have ever driven. He sold it and it got an SR20det swap and then moved to FL the last I heard.

Nah, Joe lives around Peachtree Ind and mall of Ga area.

Yea, both James and Joe were racing Wera. Also you are correct, Joe's car did hold the SBC record for long time at Atlanta Chassis Dyno. That car was set up for curves and ran 10's if I remember right. It was a monster. The white 510 he had with the Turquise BRE stripes was gorgeous. I used to come up there and talk to him from time to time. Probably met you. Can't remember what I drove then, either a red or black 3rd Gen RX7 probably.

Hmmm, I remember a white 4dr. 510 that sat behind the shop for a while. I was told that one was a work in progress. But, beyond that particular car, I don't recall seeing Joe with a white 510 with BRE stripes...could have been before or after my time.

I was at the shop the day Joe was installing the Bilstiens in the Z28.

It's entirely possible that we met back then, I'm not sure though. I worked at Duluth Station during my last semester at UGA as a part time tire sales guy. As soon as I graduated, I was transferred to John's Creek and stayed there for almost two years.

Oh, I'm pretty sure solosi was referring to one of Joe's old cars, not Joe himself. I had to read the post a couple of times before I realized that solosi meant the car went to FL.

I did mean the car went to Fl, not Joe..........sorry.

This is Joe`s old car that I was talking about. He sold it to Marty Respess.
