  • Say what you will about them, but we’ve got a soft spot for a clean third gen Camaro. Especially when it’s home built, in full drag setup, with mirrored twin turbos and just enough street trim to make it feel like a proper car - not some bone rattling racecar. Our pal from Jessie’s Performance brought this damn near perfect customer car out to LS Fest West - and sand storm or not, we had to feature this thing.

      ​@@danielnunez3518No they don't. The number one enemy of these cars is the level of abuse they receive. I've seen them get stress cracks but it's always with higher power and hard launches. Sub-frame connectors or a cage need to go on if you're adding power. If you are getting stress cracks with no added power you're abusing the hell out of the car.

    Now where can we get some of those photos from for wallpaper or iPhone screen savers? Also what do i have to do to fit some 17x10.5s in the back of a 86 Z28? I just got one and trying to setup for drag racing! Also does anyone know the style of the skinnies wheels?
