Top Tuner Camaro Single Turbo 454

[2xtreme]

Hey guy.s sorry i havent been posting lately ...lets clear some things up

the car didn,t not cost me 320.000 ...when we did the photoshoot they asked ...how much is it worth ...they wanted numbers ...a little over 3000 man hours where spent at my shop to build this car ...add up all the parts and custom fabbing ...you are well over 300k ..that at are shop rates ...plus 40k for the car
we charge 60 an hour wich is cheap compared to some shops

the plan for this summer is to work out the small bugs out of the car...this winter we will be changing the tranny to make some real
power ...wanted to do this sooner but too much on the go this summer

ive been driving the car around this summer ...here a couple pics

Sure. What do you want the title to be?

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.

thank you for your post ...doesn,t get more clear then this

The OP tricked me changing the thread title... so I ended up back here again looking at the car. I still can't get over that interior. It's like a homicide scene gone wrong. If it were all black inside (while that might be overdoing it with the black), it would look a LOT better. That spoiler looks awful too. It looks like it broke, and is hanging off the back flapping in the wind.

No offense OP... there's a lot of criticism in this thread for what you did. To spend as much time and money as you did that needs to be expected. I personally don't like the direction you took the car at all... but it's your car (or shops car). I don't know what you plan to do with it, but hopefully it works out for you.

Hello 2Extreme, with all respect:

What did you do different from the first initial post of 1400whp / 900tq to 615whp 690ftq ?

Sorry so many people disapproved of certain aspects of your build.
But you got to admit, everything seemed extreme.

Conclusion: congratulations to the time, money and effort put in the car
