Hi Robert, great to see that Brandi is all together and better than new That engine bay definitely looks sleeper except for that l'il black box. Question: your newly painted calipers, are they not at the factory position? and if not, is that an easy adjustment? Oh, and Brandi sounds great, she doesn't sound like a 1000+ HP machine.

To my knowledge, the calipers are at the factory location, I don't believe they can be moved, but IDK... several people commented to day on them, they are powder coated...

So how many exact miles logged on the break in period, and how many miles are you all doing?
500?

I'm around 180 miles of 500 or so... I may take a trip up the toll road tomorrow and log another 150 or so... We'll see...

Pics are great, but she looks even more awesome in person! Was great to meet you tonight and see the impressive work you've done on Brandi. Had never heard of a street-drivable Camaro passing the 200+ mark and appreciated the info about Texas Mile. Hope to see you again at Cabela's in the future.

Hey, Thanks for stopping in, and the pleasure was mine... I look forward to more meets... and I'll be posting a video or two about the Mile in a few weeks...

Sorry, from the pics they looked like they were in a different position. The calipers look awesome, gives a new meaning to "Red Jewel"

No apologies, I really had no idea and my photo skills are utilitarian at best anymore...
