Introduction of new Hot Rod Camaro on 2014 Power Tour - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

kyle@ridetech.com · 06-06-2014, 12:44 PM

Check out this special edition 2015 Camaro built by Nickey Chicago. They've built two prototypes already based on 2014 models. http://blogs.hotrod.com/hot-rod-limi...#axzz33sJom5eX

There's only going to be 67 of them built to commemorate Hot Rod's 67 years of publication. Wanting the best performance out of the suspension, they selected Ridetech as their choice for CoilOvers. The car will debut on this years Power Tour, so be sure to check it out. We will also have a booth set up with Lingenfelter on the tour. Stop by with any question on our CoilOver setup. We'll also have our 2010 Camaro out there.

Looks like a 1le is what they started with. Looks good, but what about the performance #'s.

NicKey · 06-06-2014, 08:44 PM

We finished the car, just before it had to leave for the Hot Rod Power Tour.

We did get to drive the car and can say that the Ridetech coil over suspension is very compliant.

The car will be driven and tested by Hot Rod staff on the tour as well as for a tech article, so stay tuned for details.

You are correct this car as well as number 001 are based on a 1LE, it's a great platform to start out with.

This is so cool! The car looks sweet in the pictures. Can't wait to see one in person!

DrkPhx · 06-06-2014, 11:21 PM

I love the coil relocation setup. Looks great.

Well, I haven't heard much from Rodney Prouty. He's behind the wheel of our 2010 Camaro on the Power Tour. He must be having too much fun and what not. Some guys have all the luck........... Anyway, I hoping to get some pictures of the Tour up soon. Stay tuned. I do know they had an autocross at the first stop in Charlotte. Prouty ended up on the podium with our new CoilOvers. If any of you guys are going to check it out, stop by and say hi. He's got some product on display in the Lingenfelter booth and can answer any of your questions. Free shirt to the first person to come up to the booth and asks to talk to "Fat Horton".

I saw this car at the Zmaxx dragway in Concord,NC. This is an absolute beast! I got hear them start it up as well and Wow! This car is definitely the baddest sounding 5th gen out there. I have always loved Nickey Camaros and seeing this car in person has made me really consider getting one. Time to save up some to make that happen. This is definitely worth the money. Unlike the GM offered editions this car is not only an appearance package but it also some performance add ons, of course depending on what package you get from Nickey. Great Job by Nickey

Here is some pictures a friend of mine took.

Nice to see a Hot Rod Test car again brings back the memories of the GMMG Berger Hot Rod Test cars Dennis used to sell.

suzook · 06-10-2014, 03:22 PM

Ugly...not a fan.

BubbaSS · 06-10-2014, 05:17 PM

Nice ride! Love the side stripes!

PalmerGA · 06-10-2014, 05:25 PM

Love the side stripe. Minus the "Hotrod", of course.

I liked these cars, I liked the fact that they were also numbered. great pictures.

Numbered and the best thing about GMMG cars very well documented and you could not buy the emblems.
