      Big Red is my all time favorite car (and the reason I built my Camaro)! I keep praying it will make it to some of our Pro-touring events for some exhibition laps!

      This car makes beautiful music at 200+.

      Picture from the Mojave Mile this weekend. They had to change a trans and clutch on Sunday morning.

      Enjoy.

      Ok, what's up with the exhaust splitters? Looks only or actual function for something?

      The exhaust looks really low, but I guess for a straight track car it doesn't need too much suspension travel.

      I made the assumption that they wanted 8" exhaust but needed flat tube to do it. So cut 4" in half and weld in 2" square.

      I remember reading about that car when I was in high school. Back then it had 540 IIRC and "just a 4 speed" as they put it. Then it went silent for many years. I heard it was coming out of retirement some time ago but never saw Anything about it. Nice to see it do the road course and the Texas mile.

      I'm guessing by the license plate it has a 598 in it now and I saw a glimpse of a hogan sheet metal intake too.

      That thing would sit beautifully right next to a 69 ZL1 and the sledgehammer corvette in my imaginary car collection

      Whoever was 1st, Big Red and Stielow did inspire many of us (especially those of us too young to remember Trans Am's glory days) to make these old cars handle.

      All the above! I had a Koni racing suspension, LT-1 in my first 71 RS camaro in 1984, I was inspired by the Trans Am series when I was like six or seven....

      But Big Red has business written all over it! Sic!

      Big Red will be back in Mojave again next weekend just FYI(June 1st) If anyone nearby wants some more photo ops.

      Make sure to spread that trailor around, this film is the type that obviously car lovers will enjoy but even non car-nuts that have seen clips seem entranced.

      Did anyone see the newer "Big Red" Camaro? LS3 supercharged I believe... but the guy that built it wouldnt run it.

      I took a few pictures of it, but they are on my phone. Pretty cool little toy I thought . But its definitly NOT The Original Outlaw Racer.

      The chances are it will be destroyed and never rebuilt WAY before it is ever sold. I think its too much of a family heirloom.... but anything could happen.

      But I could see someone offering 7 figures for it SOMEDAY

      Anyway, first post here. Saw the thread on Google and decided to pop in.

      If anyone is going to be in Mojave next weekend, stop by Big Red's stall, there almost always hats and shirts for BR fans.

      Hope to see you guys there!
