Yeah, that's pretty cool. I bought my Camaro from my 5th-cousin or something. (Didnt know it until I told my father who I bought it from.) But I've been itching to show it to him now.

I still have the name and number of the guy I got my Z26 from...

Kurt, I love your car. It's gone through some interesting changes over the years (haven't all of ours at some point?).

Stop making me want to swap a 5 speed into my rust pile lol!

I love the story behind the car, Kurt, as well as everything you've done to it. Thanks for this thread!

Some freshness after scoring 3rd in class at a recent show. Interesting thing is that we got stuck in the 1970+ Street Machine category. 1972 big block Chevelle won the class, with a nice mouse motor 70 Nova taking 2nd. Somehow I beat out a Challenger with a 340 6pack. Guess the plaques and mod sheet worked.

Image

A funny thing about this photo, if you look through the blue canopy you can barely see a newer style silver Mustang GT, modded by NQS Performance in the back background. I smoked that thing at an autocross on a half mile road-course like 3 weeks after my swap was on the road back in 2009. hahahahaha. Actually whipped every pile of Mustang ass that was on street tires that day. :D

Image

I'm going to take a trip to the strip for the v6z24 bash on the 19th of this month. Hoping to smash the 14.85@92.59... I know my old wheel bearings were already going out at that time, and it was causing wheel hop. Now the car just spins if I launch too hard, hoping that holds true at the track and I can air the Azenis' down and giver hell. 14.699 would be the ideal at the moment I think.

edit for the mini story above:

41 pwnz joo.

Kris, I'd be interested in those parts for sure. I'm always worried that my rowdy driving is going to leave me with a dominated side skirt and a half naked GT one day. ;)

Not sure if Dustin is going or not. Chad, you definitely should!

Finally started buying parts again for this beast. Oddly enough, they are suspension parts... For the front end.

Interesting!

You and me both... I may have to postpone that until the house situation changes (which I'm working on right now, hopefully it works out soon).
