PROOF
Wheel output is 396 lb-ft at 4,300 and 420 hp at 6,100 rpm, and there's at least 25 percent more at a 10-psi boost threshold. As for empirical data, Shane's comeback on the performance is "12.20s spinning the tires" and "Top speed? Saw 130 once."
OUTSIDE
Another perfect fit for the perfect build: a body that had no wounds to minister and solid, imminently revivable original red. "I guess I'll eventually paint the car, since it is now the weekend fun car.
UNDERNEATH
Polyurethane body mounts, solid aluminum leaf-spring bushings, and Competition Engineering subframe connectors eliminate untoward suspension movement and foster the rigidity necessary for the handling characteristics Shane sought. Then he was able to apply lighter components and superior geometry found in the Global West upper and lower control arms, Coil Spring Specialties 630-lb-in coils, QA1 12-way adjustable shock absorbers, and a 11/8-inch antisway bar. He stuck a fast 12:1 AGR steering box in the midst of it all. By incorporating John Calvert's CalTracs bars and split-leaf springs, and another pair of QA1s, Shane would eradicate all traces of hooliganism at the back balonies.
FRICTION
Stance is as critical as camshaft choice. Shane blocked his Camaro out with big and little Boyds hoops, 17x8 and 18x9.5, respectively, posing Nitto NT01 competition-compound P245/45ZR17s and P275/40ZR18s. The larger wheels easily accommodate 12.5-inch Wilwood discs and four-piston calipers on each corner. Guess this could be serious. CHP
