Hello from Germany, please allow me to introduce myself, as I am a big fan of this site. Although I live in Germany I’m am 100% American :). I have been living here now for 4 years with my family and I must say I love it here too. My car is a 1968 Camaro SS/RS with a new GMPP 454 BBC (Pro Built), T700R4 trans (Pro Built), full Art Morrison front and rear suspension, plus a whole lot of other nice gear. My car has been featured in Camaro Performers magazine you can find it at this link;

I have already change to a Professional Product EFI, and just ordered the T-56 Magnum to install it this winter. I changed to an EFI for a few reasons, 1st the temperature can change here quite a bit in the same day and always tune my carburetor was kind of a pain, and 2nd gas here is about 9.50 a gallon! Although I really do like my T700R4, I need more gears as I am topping out at 140+ MPH and 5800 RPM, so a 5th and 6th gear is a needed change.


Going to the Nurburgring next year, anyone else free?

Aboslutely Sweet car you have....

If I lived where you live,I would take out my Tranny in a minute....

I am good for 140 max, but in California, it is a waste to have more gears for me.

Your Car is really nice...

Nurburgring ??? Oh yes...But alas, I am working on Just doing Infineon...

Enjoy your Ride... One Sweet 68 RS/SS

Thank you all for the kind words. CruizinKev, I'm living in Sennfeld. But with winter fast approaching I will be putting my cars and bikes into storage until the Spring.
