This is far from being your average pro street camaro. This car was built for show, BUT it can KILL YOU! This car has scary power and dynoed at 960HP and it MUST be driven carefully on the street! Here in Texas this car is 100% street legal. You can run super unleaded mixed with a Torco high octane boost or similar fuel. You can also run it on a high octane unleaded fuel. Leaded race fuels will work great, but just know that breathing in leaded fuel is toxic to your health.
This is a toy of mine and must sell because we are buying a new home! I have a very low reserve compared to the appraisal value and words cannot express how spectacular this vehicle is. I have NEVER taken this car to the race track because I built it for show. However, I added everything to this car for safety such as a full roll cage, safety harnesses, etc. and I wanted to build one of the most awesome cars in the country and I kept it all old school. Big engine, big tires, big everything. This car is beyond awesome! This car is too nice to tear it up so I would hope the new owner would never race it, but that is your choice. I've been asked multiple times what I thought the car might run in the 1/4 and based on the horsepower and weight of 2960 I would estimate anywhere from 8.60 to 8.90s.

Some people were asking me some details about the engine cylinder heads and crankshaft. Here are some specs.
565 Cubic Inches - All Aluminum Donovan Block with fully ported Dart 360 heads with titanium valves. Intake flows 425 @ 800 liftLunati Steel Crank with Manley Pro Rods with ARP Bolts. Solid roller camshaft with ISKY bushed lifters so I would not have to worry about needle bearings falling apart while driving it on the street. These lifters are NO joke and are very expensive, BUT they are absolutely the best lifter money can buy. https://www.jegs.com/i/Isky-Racing-Cams/609/37296RHMEZMA/10002/-1
There were NO shortcuts taken when I built this car. I wanted the best of everything and I chose to NOT cut any corners. Even every single electrical wire was replaced.
All new glass on every window, new felt, chrome trim, everything down to the nuts and bolts!

I forgot the mention that the entire body is all steel. There is only a 2-3" section around the rear fender well that is fiberglass from when I stretched the wheel wells to fit them massive tires!
