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.

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.
