Beautiful car! Love those 500 pound bumpers and wide beauty rings.

Yep, all these years I've never seen one on here, or in the wild! Even the car shows I watch on TV have never done, or shown one, so yeah, yours will be THE first!! Going to be something when it's done, and running. And on another note, sorry to hear your wife got laid off, that sucks!! Especially this time of year with the holidays. I wish you guys all the best! Stay strong, and stay well!!

I echo this, this is the first 5th gen I have seen with a roots type blower. That is going to be one fun ride! I hope all goes well for you

I've been reading this thread for so long, but I finally feel I can contribute- while modification of my Camaro has been a constant throughout the 10+ years of ownership, I feel like this is a mile stone, I finally have the LSD installed into my car, something I've been dreaming about since I discovered that these V6 cars come with an open diff. If you have some time, please check out my video, hope you all enjoy it and happy holidays!

Going to be awesome to see your progress on here and see some start up videos. When I see big blower hood Camaro's I think of the yellow one that the Aussies built that Cleetus McFarland bought. Such a cool setup when its idle surge/lope almost chirps the tires.

Very cool that you did that in China. I remember reading in your thread about some crazy rules about what days you can drive and what days you cannot based on your plate number etc.
Glad you were able to get a mod done that you've wanted to do for so long. That's always a good feeling.

Ha ha, yes the bite from the big Cam and those chirping tyres!! My cam is slightly more street friendly so will be interesting! Can wait for the big wine from blower belt too !! Bring it on!!!

From one Jeff to another, thanks for your support, I am still overjoyed just knowing that my car is getting closer and closer to where I want it to be!

The license number plate is still a thing, my wife drives my car into town once a week because of this, it's a little bit more stressful for her than taking her Jetta the other 4 days.
