Ah, it's been 2 weeks of hell and screw ups caused by powers out of my control. Caused me a lot of disappointment, as I had to miss the invite to the GM Nationals, very disappointing, especially since I spent close to $5000 the past month just getting it ready for it to be on display.

Thanks RC....Want to buy it? It's going up for sale at the end of the week. C7 Stingray has been locked in

You're so right bro, the Showstopper mirrors are so much better than the AAC Concept Mirrors, the paint was perfect, ghosted perfectly, no internal glow, hooks up real easy...Hands down, they rock.


So, the ZLX will be going up for sale. I'll be posting it up in the different regions and if the price is right, I'll pay shipping if it's more than 300 miles. This will be someone's opportunity to purchase a basically brand new vehicle with 3400 miles/2400 on Maggie and many parts with less than 100, some still in boxes. I have over $110,000 in receipts that will transfer over to the new owner. Currently the car is safely tuned at just over 700 RWHP @ 11.5-12 lbs of boost. The whole car has been upgraded to handle 1000 RWHP. Just finished the Mcloed RXT clutch break in period, and it's smooth as silk, and you can't tell it's not stock, except it's a twin disc Kevlar clutch with 1400 HP holding power. To replicate this vehicle, expect to pay close to 6 figures, here's your opportunity to own a professionally built (Cunningham Motorsports) Supercharged, Cammed Camaro capable of beating 95% of the vehicles on the street. If you've followed my thread, you know I only used the best components and the best builder/tuner on the West Coast, and one of the top in the country.

I'll be taking serious offers, so feel free to shoot me a PM if interested. Otherwise, look for my For Sale thread in the different regions.

Here's some pics of the new ACS Composites rear deck lid painted in House of Colors Piano Black with blue metallic flake & LEDs. Custom Carbon Fiber ZLX badge from Roger at EmblemPros, the magazine plaques the car has appeared in, Showstopper side mirrors and the reason it's up for sale.

[aquablueL99]

Heck Yeah!!!! I am real close to getting you converted.....Laguna Blue!!!


Nice choices my friend.....Kurt ABL99...

[rccamaro]

Wow John. You impress me more and more each day. That blue is kinda slick but you have to think about which color would you be able to see every day without getting tired of it. I'm not saying you would get tired of the blue, necessarily. Take for instance a yellow car. It looks good for a short time but how long can you really stand seeing it compared to black?

[The Stig]

damn that is going to be one sexy Vette - congrats on the order

Laguna Blue forever!!!
Guaranteed Head Tuner.....Ours have been turning heads since 1988 and 2009 and continue going strong...

But I know how John feels about black! His ZLX is beyond reproach. I am just "tickled blue" he is considering LB....

Kurt ABL99...

[Kronix]

Thank you RC, Kurt & Stig,, appreciate the kind words! It's just something that I think has to be done, I've had Vettes before and always loved them. But this new Stingray, just reached into my heart & soul

As much as I love looking at the Laguna Blue and it reminds me so much of you Kurt I have to go with the black, I was lucky to get my same Cali plate, SSYNSTR, here in NJ and it's just so fitting on the Black order form with the black wheels, but I promise Kurt, I will powder coat the calipers JetStream Blue, just for you!


Here we go:


2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS/RS SLP Supercharged ZLX

For those of you that have followed my build, you know that this has been an all out, no expense spared, open checkbook build from Day 1. You can view my build thread by clicking my signature at bottom of post.

Here's a little history on the car, then a summarized list of components.
I moved to California from NJ in March, 2011 for my wife's 2 year contract position with the government, so this was my project after selling my sport fishing boat back in NJ.

I am selling the car ONLY because I have a 2014 C7 Stingray ordered from the largest Vette dealer in the world, and they just happen to be 20 minutes away. I also have an allocation at my friend's dealership, so I'm covered either way. I really never thought I would be selling this Camaro, especially after all the time, money & effort put into it, I thought this would be my lifer. But when I saw the new Stingrays and having owned a Corvette, it was enough to persuade me to put my Camaro up for sale.

This is not a desperation sale, this Camaro is basically brand new with 3500 miles on it, and all parts have even less miles on them. To have a company like SLP, Hennessy, Livernois or Lingenfelter build a similar car would start at about $75,000 & up. But I know that there's plenty of people out there that intend to buy a Camaro and then let the mod bug bite. Well, if you want to do it right and produce a world class super car capable of performing better than cars costing $250,000+, then be prepared to cover every aspect of the car from engine internals, to drivetrain, suspension, rear end, axles, and even bolts and expect to run into the 6 figures to do it right. This build was done correctly from the start, with no corners cut and basically took over 18 months to get where it is. The majority of the important stuff, Engine, Suspension, Drivetrain was done by the Best in the West, Renowned Late Model Muscle Car EFi Specialist, Ryne Cunningham & Team of Cunningham Motorsports in Murietta, California. Since the build was so thorough and included so many upgrades, the car has actually spent more time in the shop's garage and on it's dyno, than my garage and the streets.


I actually started the planning of the build long before I purchased the Camaro. While I was living in California and I'd fly back east, I would rent a Camaro SS from Avis, and after 3 rentals my mind was made up. After seeing all the aftermarket parts and discovering this forum and seeing all the awesome cars here, it really motivated me to make something that would really stand out from the crowd.....And so it began..


I ordered the car in early October, 2011 with my request being that it be a black on black, 2SS/RS loaded with sunroof, leather, no stripes & LS3/M6 Engine/Transmission. The car was located in Nevada towards the end of October, and sent enclosed trailer to the dealership, Paso Robles Chevrolet. I purchased the Magnuson TVS2300 from SLP (Street Legal Performance) of Toms River, NJ primarily based on their long running history of building special modified vehicles for GM for over 3 decades. The supercharger arrived at the dealership in December, 2011 and installed shortly afterwards, along with the SLP LoudMouth II exhaust. So for the 2 months prior to the supercharger being installed, I completed the break in procedure for the brand new 2SS/RS and put roughly 1100 miles on the car. So the actual supercharger has 2400 miles on it, and almost every other component has even less miles on them. I've also done my best to include date & milage install below, to let you know that you buying basically a new car with new parts and the break in's have pretty much been completed. Every receipt for every part & labor is included in a nearly 6" folder. I am extremely organized, have left no stone unturned, used only the best parts and you will not find a better professionally built vehicle, with the performance this car has that rivals the likes of Hennessy, Linginfelter, SLP ZL cars, that start at $75,000 for base packages.

The car has been built & tuned for reliability, drivability and safety. The car produces over 700 RWHP at 12lbs of Boost safely. It has run Torco Octane Accelerator since the first tank full of gas, since while in California the highest octane was 91, the Torco adds 4-5 octane per 32 oz bottle per 20 gallons of fuel producing 95 Octane. Now that it's on the East Coast and we have 93/94 octane and I still continue to run Torco, it can be tuned to 99/100 octane(which is like race fuel but nowhere near the cost) thus creating even more power and can safely run close to the 800 HP level should you desire,as the parts used are done for even more power. This car is not my daily driver, has been garaged since day one, never driven in the rain, and was transported from Cali to NJ in an enclosed car carrier.

As you read the parts list, you'll see that I did not wait for parts to break before replacing them. For instance, how long would the stock clutch or axles last at that power level, I didn't want to find out. I wanted to build it correctly from the start and not take any steps backwards, and make a 1 off vehicle that was second to none.
There are many parts still in the boxes, because of the timing of our move back to the East Coast and they are also noted below in bold.

Aside from being Car of the Week on Camaro5.com, the ZLX has also appeared in April Issue of GM High Tech Performance, the May Issue of Camaro Performers Magazines, and most recently was invited to be one display indoors at the GM Nationals in Carlisle, PA, but due to unforeseen circumstances out of my control I could not attend, but I already have a signed invitation from the show's director Tyler Staley, to again be on display indoors for the 2014 show.

If you intend to buy a new Camaro and want to modify it to the 650-800 RWHP level correctly, leaving no stone unturned, then I urge you to consider this vehicle, because to do it correctly, professionally, safely using only the best parts and shops with years of late model muscle car performance experience and only the best paint shops used to create a flawless 1 of kind Camaro, you WILL be looking at $100,000+ to replicate. If you want to lower the horsepower, that can be done quite simply by adding a larger 3.8" pulley and a new tune. The car drives like stock, with the exception of the supercharger whine, the old school rumble of the CMS custom spec'd blower cam, the exhaust tone and the fact that it's nearly a 200 mph car, that drives like it's on rails. I just got done the break in period for the Mcloed RXT Twin Disc clutch, and it feels exactly like stock and just like every review I have read for it.

Only the best hands have touched this car, from Cunningham Motorsports, to the body shops that have done my custom paint work and body panels, the car is a flawless show winner. I must advise you, it is not for the inexperienced driver or the faint of heart, I have had owned many high performance cars, and driven many exotics and this car is by far the fastest car I've ever been in and just as reliable and turn key as a 2011 should be.

John,
How cool is that going to be?!?! I can only imagine what you have in store for the new ride...especially the name...What could that be? Pretty hard to top ZLX..

Believe me, I totally understand the "Black Ray" thing. I am just flattered you would think of us and the Laguna Blue. The calipers will look stunning with JetStream Blue...Remember the ones on the ZR1? They were soooo cool.
John, Please don't hesitate to let me know if I can assist in any way on my end with the sale of the one and only "ZLX" ...

Take care. I trust things are progressing well for you and the family. You have been in our prayers.....Amen.......

Kurt, my friend, thank you for all your kind words & prayers! I need all the help I can get! I'm honored that you always think of me when talking to the Big Guy upstairs, I hope he's listening!

I'd be glad to give you a finders fee if you can locate the right buyer. Everyone seems to want something for nothing,, and not realize this is a new car with 3500 miles on, just barely broken in, and I have receipts that I quickly added up totaling over $112,000 ( I know, I'm )



$60,000 Or Best Offer, that's basically .50 cents on the dollar spent.
3500 Miles!!!

John, let me talk with Matt Hubbard. He is in the business of working good deals with his customers...this might just be something he or his Dad would be interested in. I will send him the link and we'll see!!
