Here is the front end with the new 8" HID kit we will be offering.

So I am confused. You mentioned that you did not get your Camaro completed for Sema. So whose Camaro you are showing went to the Optima Challenge?

I think they look great. $145 a set for satin and $160 for polished. They thread to the top of the strut. It requires no modifications to the underhood and clears everything without leaving a mark. Please let me know if anyone is interested.





Polished



Satin

I like satin although in these pictures the polished looks better
NICE STRUT CAPS!!! Looks killer
Please start another thread for the turbos. PLEASE!!!

I've seen that 1000hp Nickey car go down the track many times...and man oh man does it *hate* tires! Wheel spin on demand doesn't even begin to describe that thing...all seems well, then the boost hits, and it's Katy bar the door!

I know you all have a choice and I know there are plenty of shops that want your business. We have a 60-plus year track record from winning at Indy to 300 land speed records while owning Paxton Products and so on. We do not promote ourselves very well in that department...That needs to change. I read about other "big name" shops and all the hype...i wonder why Motor Trend forgets to include us in some of thier tuner wars but just go on my mary way. If you want inflated numbers and hype - we are probably not the right shop for that...if you want honest effort and great driveable power - we honor everyone business
With all respect you you and Granetelli, this is a thread about the Nickey Camaro. They too have a outstanding reputation with generations of experience for sure. I for one do not think it is appropriate in their thread, to make refereneces to "....If you want inflated numbers and hype - we are probably not the right shop for that." Make your own thread about how great you are and let people ask questions about you and your services. But this should not be done in a Nickey thread.

Just my thoughts

Nice project
That is not true - The twin will spool even faster than the single - plus turbo lag is a thing of the past

The fastest 2010 Camaro at the Optima Challenge was riding on Pedders suspension -- the same suspension that is on the Nickey series of Camaros and what this thread is about.

Stefano,

What is the latest news from Nickey?
