For those of you that were not there, the Pfadt car ran well, the Eibach car not as well as the Pfadt car. The Grannetelli car -- well he has his story and I have my suspicions as to why it wasn't on the track to compare to those 2010 Camaros that ran. Any more thoughts you care to share with the group? |

After that – they deemed it too dark. Your car was very fast at 1 min 50sec and congratulations. But that was 8.5 seconds slower then the Red ZR1 that ran 1.41. Just to keep it all fair I did also drive the GTR R35 to a 1.53 so your car beat mine by 200+horsepower which translated to nearly 3 seconds faster per lap – Hell I was just happy to get under 2 minutes |

I read your posts, and was concerned that poeple could interpret what you said openly. We know the Nickely Camaro, and these guys are off the charts fantastic in all areas. I wanted to make sure that everyone knows that Nickey Camaro are as good as it gets!. thanks for responding and I know that you understand. On a side note, I look forward to the opportunity to put our Camaro to yours at the next Optima Challenge. Friendly, spirited competition is healthy. Nickey Camaro could not make it because of local committments. Maybe Nickey will be out there, get Pfadt out there, others are useless, and we can have a serious battle of the Camaros!! the Pedders Camaro will probably have 25k on it since it truly is a daily driver. Hi hp will not help at the Optima. So running twin turbos will be a negative. Just my thoughts. Again, all done is the spirit of friendly competition mike dms |

We are very honored and pleased that he chose Nickey and Pedders in order to help make his Camaro just the way he wants it as well as in the spirit of the Legendary Don Yenko himself. I would think that Don could appreciate a Camaro that can find the fast way around a road race track as well as down the 1/4 mile too. Please stop by and see us at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN.com) this November 21st and 22nd in Rosemont Illinois. Lynn Yenko, one of Don's Daughters will be there to talk about the New 2010 Yenko as well as the vintage ones, along with the rest of our crew. We will also have the Nickey Stage III FLP TT on display along will a bunch of other cool 5th Gen Super Camaros we built. |

We are anxious to get the car home (Southern Missouri) and play it.
We cannot thank the staff at Nickey Chicago enough for their work on this project. We dropped off our new SS at their place, showed them a picture of our 1969 Yenko/SC 427 Camaro and they did the rest. transforming the 2010 into a late model twin of our '69. Also, thanks in advance to Pedders for helping with the suspension.

How does this kit not melt the power steering resv? How do you change the plugs? Is this a 1 off customer kit or production?

Kinda off topic, Not trying to hi-jack this thread either, just need a question answered... Does Granatelli still own the Turbine powered Camaro? It was a 67-68 as I recall? The whole underside was an exhaust as wide as the car! Talk about heat build up! Is this car still around, does Granatelli still own it? Yes I remember the turbines at Indy, saw them in person! Is Vince still around? Always thought that this was an amazing and innovative automobile!
