ZL1 #271 Rubeus XIII (aka Silent Thunder) and her quest to be a single digit DD - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

8AD•SS · 08-10-2012, 04:47 AM

I'm not the best with words and all post will be VIA my IPhone (its my only internet

) so forgive me for favoring pictures over words. I'll be having a local performance shop, 510 Race Engineering to turn my not so mild mannered 2013 ZL1 I've affectionately dubbed Rubeus XIII into a daily driver that when out fitted with some sticky shoes can turn single digit quarter mile times. I will be taking her to work every day as I have done since the day I took delivery (as long as it wasn't raining) do if you're in the area and feel like catching a movie at the drive-in Rubeus and I will be there to greet you

Alrighty then, let's get started with few pics. These are from the day she was delivered that my friend David sent me from the dealership. Name: j8cxn.jpg

Here are a few shots of Rubeus with her first add on, a factory black stripe (I'm using mod loosely since its a ZL1 item I just couldn't get it as I wanted from the factory) I think the black sets off the exposed weave pretty well. Name: mLgXf.jpg

Body color heritage grille installed. Not everyone is hip on changing from the stock grille but I've always been partial to it myself. Name: yf8Ki.jpg

Beautiful car, congrats on the ZL1

8AD•SS · 08-10-2012, 03:29 PM

I appreciate it, she's an amazing car, seems better every day I drive lol

8AD•SS · 08-10-2012, 06:43 PM

JusT cut a check to my friend Randy at 510 Race Engineering for a laundry list of parts for both Rubeus and her older sister Nox. Hopefully if nothing is on back order I'll get my pre modification dyno and then get started on the build next week

Very excited.
Sorry, no new mod pics with this update but here's a few shots of the sisters at work.

I Appreciate it buddy, it should be fun. Will hopefully be posting up the more in depth modifications soon. I'm told there will be a fairly involved video being done of the build by hightechcorvette so as soon as that gets under way I'll have to figure out how to link videos in the thread. They have a short vid up of the Z06 I sold to order and build my ZL1, I'll see if I can post it up if anyone's interested in the car I gave up to finance this little venture. Though I will be with the great guys at 510 Race Engineering so that I can take many pics of the build, the head and blower work, Cam, fuel pump upgrade, exhaust etc, etc. few more cosmetic things as well.

Mike,
