[Jordan]

Ok.

The cold-side charge piping completed, with air diverter panels in place...



Mocking up the bumper and front carbon fiber lip;

The car looks evil!

Sweet dreams.

Well thank you very much for the kind words, they mean a lot.

Absolutely. Like I've previously stated, I have a feeling Eric will be plenty happy on position one.

[QUOTE=Jordan at National Speed;2289520]Oooo, look what just showed up...

(please note, these units are prototypes for NZ1200, but may be for public sale in the near future through National Speed)



Carbon fiber rear valence and front lip...



Lightweight, much?






I´m so want those carbon fiber parts, please let us know when you have those for sell.

So you guys are mocking up my "clone" promo advertising car as well? Right? Of course I will meet any predetermined required show schedual as well as provide 24/7 security for the vehicle.



lol

well, lol I mean, you know unless you'd really consider it!

SSMX, will do! We haven't decided yet if we're selling any NZ1200 components separately or not.

Z28RockStar, only if you bring the puppies and beer.

Once again Jordan, the execution of this build is impeccable.

I think you should definitely sell the rear and front valence separately, we have been waiting for those parts for over a year and you are the first to finally offer them...

Very nice build and awesome power. What size wheels and tires are you going to use to hook that power to the ground?

[mrgm]

this is amazing. In for the win

[footbalosu52]

Coming from you, that is very appreciated.

We'll see how it goes, as of right now; NZ1200 components will not be available for separate purchase. Things change, so we'll see how it all unfolds. I'll make sure to keep you informed if something changes.

The largest we can put in the factory well; 315. With the way the gearing is setup in both the transmission and third member, traction loss will be minimized. However, on the 1,200hp setting, traction will certainly be an issue when the turbochargers come online. 427ci torque and sledge hammer power band makes for an interesting battle for traction at low speeds. On street tires and the 1,200hp setting, I'd consider NZ1200 a second-gear roller. Put some 315 radials on it and it's a different story, obviously. She'd clear daylight under the front tires with the best of them.

Hopefully not as severe as the most recent turbocharged GM we built;



Both cars will have similar power at the wheels, Cookie Monster has about 700lbs less to deal with. I would absolutely love to get NZ1200 on the drag strip with radials. We'll see if Eric wants some straight-line times or not.

Well, Eric just wanted a car he could get it and drive, it's completely understandable. Not to mention, automatic turbocharged cars have a certain allure to them, especially for straight-line performance. I'm a road course racer, and even I love an automatic turbocharged vehicle.

I had a feeling you were on this site.

It was great meeting you, I had a good time talking Camaros! I wish it weren't so busy when you walked in, I'd have liked to show you around a bit more thoroughly.
