1969 Camaro 'Red Devil'
Some cool pics of Mark Stielow's latest build 'red devil'. Every car he builds is awesome in terms of build quality and performance (all his cars get driven hard), and he takes function over form to an art form. When we saw the yellow LS9 powered 69 (nicknamed jackass, a lol-nod at 'the mule') last year we were blown away at the build quality and the way it all looked so simple, OE and unassuming.

Early Performance # 0-60 mph 3.29 seconds 0-100 mph 7.26 seconds 1/4 mile 11.19 sec. @ 129.84 mph all corrected values (should go in the 10s next time out) Braking best 60-0 107.4' & 2.5 sec 0-60-0 with 1 ft rollout best 6.84 with overshoot to 61mph 40 foot slalom Slalom best 48.34 mph Skid pad 1.03 G. ABS is very impressive and to date not something the DIY guy can do. Being a GM engineer sure helps him get this accomplished. But it is build like this that help get the ball rolling for the rest of us. True retrofit ABS is probably going to appear in the next few years. But this tells you a bit of the difficulties involved. Not mentioned is the reprogramming that you & me can't do. Quote:

LOL I love looking at cool builds like this. Although I could never afford or honestly even know how to do some of this stuff, there are so many cool little details you can pick up for your own car. Or learn how to do something in a way you hadn't thought of. that was one of the best parts of SEMA last year, seeing all these cars up close & personal. Besides if looking at cars like this doesn't interest you then you need to question your 'car guy' credentials. :lol: |
pretty sweet build. i bet dialing in that abs was a nightmare.

I love that red.

That car was FAAAST at Optima this weekend. I think he pulled down the fastest lap time on the road course
|
It won the Optima Challenge as well.

More vids of maybe the best street Camaro going right now. Seeing it effortlessly work at Optima this year I remain in awe. This is how to build an 800HP street car.

Who the hell took pictures of my car
