This car is so fun to drive and bulletproof! We really just checked tire pressure pre and post race and that was it. So nice compared to a GT3 car that takes a lot more attention to run it throughout the day. Check out th youtube video and subscribe to see more action in this car...youtube --> Charlie Ferer

Any questions about the car or racing please let me know in the comments below or on the youtube.

Very cool and nice to see you running it.
I thought I saw in the auction the body was a ZL1. Is there a VIN that was left anywhere. Doesn’t matter for what it’s built for, just for curiosity.

Thanks

Great job Charlie, your car sounds and looks amazing! Thanks for sharing.

Hell yea! I’m really jealous.

Really good stuff.

Video work is uber pro!

Car looks and sounds solid as a steel block! That one would be a joy to get a few laps in!

Wow! That Z is really "next level" and then some. From what I've read that track is a lot of fun and the facility is amazing. I've been running my C5 Z06 at AMP, I need to wander out to APEX one of these weekends and check the place out and hopefully see that beast of yours in action.

Very nice.
It is interesting to watch how Porsche loses when the V8 in the Camaro make fire under the boiler when leaving the curve.

Yea that IS really cool. Bye-bye... No replacement for displacement!! Is the old saying in the muscle car world..

The only thing I can see that car needs is one of my old rear view mirror stickers that says "mediocrity seen here".

No, this is a body in white from GM and did not come with a VIN. Yes, car ran as a ZL1 body car and then everything went down to the frame to a Z/28.R with the backing of GM to run next series since the Z/28 came out. Everything on the car is from the Z/28 Camaro (control arms, brakes, gearbox/transimission, motor, body panels, etc. but runs Ohlins suspension).
