I am sure there is nothing out there this like this car. It took 5 years to build and was done right in every way.
I bought the car originally in Wisconsin and sent it directly to Muscle Up Performance in Janesville, Wisconsin.
Check their website and you will some of the info on the car. Rich Bickle the owner and former NASCAR driver re-did
the body and built the chassis.
The full chassis frame was built the similar to the way NASCAR teams build theirs but without the full roll cage.
Full tubular design with mounting points to the original Camaro mounts. The mounts are solid and there is no flex
in the chassis or movement where it isn’t wanted. This keeps the suspension geometry exact continuously. The
shocks and coils are fully adjustable with ride height and car load. QA-1 products were used.
The front end has a Sweet power steering rack, tubular A arms, Heim joints at all pivot points, tie rod end and
ball joint locations. Brakes are Wildwoods best 4 piston calipers and large rotors.
Muscle up Performance took the car to bare metal and then gave it a perfect pain job in GM Corvette red. The hood
is fiberglass with a stinger scoop accented in silver. Really makes the car come alive.
The engine is a new crate LS6 with a 6 speed T56, The McLeaod hydraulic throw bearing was purchased to ensure
trouble free operation and simplicity for bleeding and operation. A 3 ½ inch drive shaft was sourced and connected
to Winters Ford 9" rear end with a 3.70 gear and posi. The 4 link suspension controls the movement of the rear end
again with QA1 coils and adjustable shocks, 450 lb/in used on the rear. Brakes again are Wildwood.
The black leather interior seats were taken from a newer GM vehicle with six way adjustment. The rears were
sectioned to fit and the complete installation looks factory. The door panels and console were done in a matching
black leatherette which was also wrapped around the original dash. New gauges were added and the overall effect
with the black low pile carpet giving it sporty but elegant look.
An aluminum rad with two electric fans was added to cool the engine.
All engine management and sensors were provide by Turnkey engines with a Painless wiring installation. They
certainly do a great job with their packages.
The car was complete last year and I drove it 60 miles to a local car shown. Having driven all types of performance
cars in the past 40 years this was one of the best handling and driving cars I have driven with a ride to rival
only the newest performance car designs. This is not the type of car I drove some 45 years ago when I got my
license. The first thing that I noticed after the build was there was way more chassis then engine. I then added a
Procharger Supercharger and ATI pinned balancer. A water to air intercooler, pump and cooler were added to help
cool the charge. The final inclusions were a water/methanol injection system, MSD coil packs and wires were added
to ensure a reliable spark.
The wheels are Foose 18 inch rim 8” in the front and 9.5” in the rear. The tires are 235/45x18 on the front and
rears are 275/35x 18.
The car has 0 miles with this set-up. I don’t have the time to enjoy all the vehicles I built and have now. The
car would cost more than $100K to reproduce as that is what I spent to date

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.

GM might outsource vans to AM General

Thu, Nov 26 2015

General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
