A Visual Spectacle
Striking Exterior Elegance
Drenched in a captivating red gloss paint, the Camaro’s exterior exudes a sense of allure that’s impossible to ignore. Accentuating its profile, a glossy black hockey stripe runs along the sides, harmonizing effortlessly with the black vinyl top.

Matching this captivating display, the RS rear tail lights complete the dynamic look.
Wheels and Stance: A Marvel in Motion
The side profile of the car showcases a customized set of Brush Tinted Clear Budnik wheels, strategically staggered at 19/20” for a commanding presence. A feat in engineering, the rear wheels are an astonishing 305mm wide, shod with Michelin tires. To accommodate such remarkable dimensions, a meticulous installation of a mini-tubbed rear end was executed flawlessly. Complementing this setup, Wilwood power disc brakes, complete with drilled and slotted rotors, promise exceptional stopping power.
Powerhouse Performance
Heart-Pounding Powertrain
Beneath the hood resides a powerhouse—a meticulously built GM LSX motor. Designed for reliability, power, and style, the engine bay is an epitome of automotive excellence. The LS7 Polished Head Intake Manifold takes center stage, paired seamlessly with the L92 heads. This LSX masterpiece joins forces with a Kessler Built Tremec 5-Speed manual transmission, offering an engaging driving experience. The Centerforce 11” dual friction clutch channels power to the built Strange Engineering Ford 9” rear end equipped with 3.50 gears.
Modern Comfort Meets Raw Power
Despite its formidable performance, modern amenities find their place in the cabin. AGR power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, an aluminum radiator with an electric fan, and a fully polished serpentine kit by CVF ensure a well-rounded driving experience, where power meets comfort in perfect harmony.
Mastering Performance and Control
Reinforced for Precision
The underbelly of the Camaro has undergone a meticulous transformation to enhance both performance and handling. A comprehensive underbody renovation, coupled with the installation of brand new Ridetech Shocks in the front and Ridetech Adjustable Coilovers in the rear, solidify the car’s road prowess. Noteworthy reinforcements include the transmission’s crossmember support and the Total Cost Engineering Torque Arm Rear Suspension, ensuring that power is harnessed with precision.
The Symphony of Power
The LSX’s robust horsepower resonates through the Hooker Ceramic coated headers and flows through the Magnaflow 3” exhaust system, positioned right alongside the Total Cost Engineering torque arm rear suspension—a symphony of power and engineering excellence.
