Remember the broken axle Camaro???

Back alive with with a new built 12 bolt. First time out 6.9x @99mph on tiny 255mm wide M/T drag radials. Little street car opened the eyes of a few race car owners last night. Just wait till the bottle valve gets opened.

Like we said, what does not kill ya, makes ya stronger. Love the fact he can get the wheels off the ground now.

Its a full weight street car. 406 pump gas motor with some decent heads with a built TH350 4.10 gear (i think). Motor made 530 on the dyno. Its built to run a bottle but he is going to sort it out on motor first. Should be good for some low 6's with a 200 shot.

Man, the way those wheels are off the ground I would've thought it was lightened up a bit or something. That's awesome! I bet that's a fun ride...hope mine gets there someday.

Pics make it look better than it really is. The car twists up pretty good. It needs an anti-roll bar bad. The RH wheel was only up 4-5 inches.
