Hi Guys,
Long time reader and finally have something to offer up here..
We're currently building a 2010 Camaro SS for wheel-to-wheel road racing in NASA's American Iron series and hopeful to be homologated into the SCCA's American Sedan class.
Check out the build site/blog here if you're interested; http://www.CarriageHouseCustoms.com
We will be putting up a gallery of over 300 images of the car in various stages of disassembly. Along with that - we are weighing every component of the car and documenting it. That information will be made available as well. The car (SS-1) weighed in at 3840# with 3/4 tank of fuel. The rear suspension (including the carriage) weighed in at 390# alone.
I'm very impressed by this car and when comparing it to my 1969 Camaro-SS, I find there is no comparison. My 69 drives and handles like a truck compared to this beauty..
Enjoy..
Regards - Randy

Cool, are you keeping the stock engine or are you putting in something with more HP.

Hi Guys,
Don't know what happened to my Big-Foot account - it won't let me log in anymore. I re-registered under this handle instead..
To answer your question about engines - We will be using the stock engine with a good tune on it and a set of headers. The goal is to bring the weight of the car down to the point where it will perform as good or better than a high horsepower upgrade.
Our Website - We exceded our bandwidth and are working with the website host to get our website moved to a higher tier (another server). We'll be back soon as we have a LOT to share with you..

IF you want a good solid hosting company I would go with Lunar Pages. I used them in the past for freelance jobs and they were damn reliable.
