if I'm not mistaken, the Z06 cam works good with turbos.

Do a search on Youtube for 228R or MS3. They both sound good, but the 228R is more driveable.

oh man....... that thing is gonna be bad ass..

**Paul_J** · 03-22-2009

You have got to be pretty excited to finally drive it! Nice how your buddy was there to meet you at the bottom of the drive way too!

I love how this car is turning out. The concept, the looks, everything.

**Krazed** · 03-23-2009

Very nice! Have any video? I would love to hear what those home made mufflers sound like.

SO? How is it? Does it feel quick on it's feet? Ride rough? Gonna need alot of debugging? Spill the beans man. This car is close to the only reason I even check in on this forum.

**Ron S** · 03-23-2009

I hate to say its kind of hard to tell,it blows the tires off,but the doors were held closed with bungie straps,the seat wasn't bolted down,and I ate so much gravel I could hardly see.It feels pretty snappy,doesn't seem like there will be alot of debugging.Its alot nicer a car then I originally planned.

I've really got to get on the body though,I want it in color before Georgia,and I'm only one guy.Still haven't picked a color yet,a buddy of mine is trying to talk me into spraying base silver on it,then going over it with a scuff pad then clearing it.Kind of a stainless steel look.Kind of intersting?{still doing the hood and top of fenders flat black} Ron

I cant wait to see this thing!!
You are giving me ideas for a rusted out 69 camaro shell that i got laying around. LOL!!

**srh3trinity** · 03-23-2009

I know that you are still some ways off from finishing it, but there will be a void in my daily pro-touring.com visits when this car is finished. The car is coming out better than I could have ever imagined. I also like the idea of the brushed stainless with the flat black.

**Martin71RS** · 03-23-2009

I sooooooo love this car!

**craigs73** · 03-24-2009

**Throttle** · 03-31-2009
