My Buddies Camaro on Jalopnik

Hello All,

My buddies Camaro that I have been helping him build made "Hoon of the Day" on Jalopnik! Having some fun with his Camaro project.


Click ME!



A bit about the car:

3g Camaro
GM 3500 V6 with custom ground cam
GT40 Turbo @ 18psi
Fully Built Turbo 350 Trans
Spooled Rear End

It is an monster, it starts to hook up on the street around 90mph when its @ 18psi.


Anyways figured I'd share as I think its pretty cool, hope you enjoy.

Not bad quality. Is it just all go and no show or did he keep the body clean? Can't really tell too much from just the tire lol

Ya its a really nice camera....it will shoot in full 1080P if you want it to, I think that video is on the low quality setting. Only thing is the audio is never really any good cause there is always alot of wind noise.


The car is basically all go.

Stock body (not the greatest of shape), he has some Diamond race wheels on the way for it and it has a 4" fiberglass cowl hood thats painted flat black (stock hood weights a million pounds).

He wanted a shitty car to mess around with and to do the swap...now that everything is fabricated he will probably pick up a really clean car and swap the drivetrain into it.

Nevermind, it was shot in 1080p, if you watch it on youtube you can select the higher res.

I can do burnouts in the wet, slick tarmac too...

Not hating. This video proves nothing.

You can spin your rear tires?

Ya we could probably swap the driveline in a weekend....there is so much room in the engine bay with just the V6 in there it is very easy to work on.

Hasn't dyno'd it yet as he just finished it and is still finishing up the tune.

I think he said it should be around +600whp at 18psi.

He wasn't trying to prove anything...just playing around at cruise night, my buddy took a video and put it on youtube and Jalopnik picked it up and put it on their site, which I thought was very cool!

I added the details about the car since its a pretty cool build and I figured people would be curious.
