Love the red interior. This is what the Camaro needs, more colorfull interiors. Now a sattle tan would be nice...

Ok, how about the King (Elvis)? Or is he really still alive hiding out somewhere.

From post above......Functionality; This car wasnt built to drive to and from work or the grocery store like the rest of us bums. Can it even rip or hold traction well enough to beat an LPE or HPE800 down the 1320? Maybe, maybe not..on paper though...



Maybe...but I'm betting it won't beat a Livernois 1000 hp build....

Thats my guess as well. Seems like its built to be an ultimate show car rather than a track monster. What gives it away to me is the wheels.

Complete waste IMO. We all love our Camaros but one of the things that makes them great is how much bang for your buck you get, similar to the Vette against other supercars. This throws that factor right out the window.
For everyone caught up on the price, go back and read through the early parts of the build. Serge owns the shop that built this. He actually has quite the reputation for doing things like this with prior vehicles. This is not an individual dropping ungodly amounts of money on a vehicle, but rather this is a custom fabrication shop, building a one off competition vehicle which in reality is a marketing expense for them in many ways.

And for what it's worth if the 3,800 labor hour figure is correct then the $320,000 figure is close to hard cost not what a customer would pay to have the same thing done. If you were a regular customer there is no way you are going to get that much labor from a fab shop for that cheap. Hell, a conservative labor rate of $100 per labor hour (salary cost, insurance cost, overhead cost, and profit) puts the labor cost alone at $380K. Now add the base vehicle and parts of top of that and you can only imagine where the cost would end up.

Awesome build. Thanks for all the effort and time to show us the construction. I imagine a lot of the people on here gasping about the money spent or the all red interior or the wing haven't been to a large car show in a while, or at all. Some of these things are over their heads.
