She's on the road! - 69 Camaro Vert - Jersey Blue Claw

[rob07002]

Well I got to do what I've only been dreaming of for the past 2 years.... Drive the car!!!

Initial impressions are fantastic! It does everything I thought it would and more. All the parts really seem to compliment each other and with some adjustment, debugging, and seat time, I doubt you'll be able to wipe the smile off my face.

Now, I only have about 20+ miles of test time on some wonderful Jersey roads, but I am very happy with ride quality, handling, braking, engine responsiveness, and power.

Still have some minor things to work on like getting the hood painted, but she's a driver and want to thank some friends for all their help.

Thanks Blake, I can't say enough about the Speedtech/Killer team, great bunch of folks!

As for impressions, I'll say that we build, or one of our goals when building a "Pro-Touing" car is to make an old car perform like today's performance vehicles, and I truly accomplished that.

This car handles like a new Vette! You just point the car and it goes there with no effort. No body roll, no feeling like your pushing the car beyond it's limit. Keep in mind I've yet to put a proper alignment in it yet, and plan on much more seat time, but that just means it's going to just get better from here, so I'm very happy.

I think the biggest surprise was that I expected the car to ride like a brick, but it's very comfortable considering. The combo seems to really work and you can tell that all the components compliment each other.

Since PT isn't as widely known here as some other regions, people are really taking notice.

Some one asked about color, it's factory LeMans Blue, code 71.

Thanks for all the kind words!!!

More feedback, pics, and vids coming soon.
