You guys gotta see it in person. It was built by Reiters Metalcraft here near Detroit. Ive watched them put this thing together for a while now. Absolutely Sick. I believe it also won like best of show or something at Autorama. The Entire Drivetrain is basically out of a ZR1 right down to the brakes and wheels

Stielow is cool as hell.

EDIT: And it just occurred to me after reading the article that they are talking about the NEW ZR1, with the LS9...

I have to admit, I sometimes still think of the original ZR1 when I see those letters (though I think it may have actually been ZR-1 ?? Can't remember... ). I was thinking it was sort of an odd choice to use an LT5 for this car...

Damn, that is hot.

Even with a supercharger, that engine looks so tiny in that enormous engine bay! Very cool creation .

Do want! I will echo the feeling of not liking the color, but its Mark f'n Stielow. After "The Mule" he can do whatever he wants and I'll still jump off the bridge after him.

The color is okay but the only wheels I ever liked on a First Gen Camaro are rally wheels. Badass car though.
