94 - LT1

No door emblems, low spoiler, base hood, etc..

I’m a MAN.

“Roadrace Magnum F” is a nasty Tremec TR6060 stuffed inside a T56 case with close ratio gear set for opentrack/roadracing. Monster LT1-S twin disc clutch, Billet CrMo flywheel, Tilton slave, Tilton adjustable billet master, Hinson shifter, Mark Williams CrMo 3.5” driveshaft with forged CrMo weld yokes, 1350 solid Spicer joints, Sonnax billet CrMo slip yoke…

I tore that car down to nothing, and started over. I seriously left no bolt unturned.

Awesome! I know Tremec, but not enough to know the Magnum F. Sorry- I figured it was a man peddle! It sounds nasty bro!!!! Big Red outta look out!

Thanks man-I spent about a year and a half building it. I’ve done a BUNCH of 4th gen Camaro’s over the years, and a TON of SBC/LSx s10’s more than anything else. The last s10 I did was over 1000 to the pavement, and on radials. I wanted this SS to be an absolute terror on the street. All around-going, stopping, turning-but while looking very unsuspecting for what it actually is.. While the intention was to above all else; take a LOT of punishment, and punch up from its weight class- I don’t think The Gottlieb’s have much to worry about..

I feel ya. I want a life mulligan so I can move to Alaska and live in the woods off grid. I'd buy a huge solar panel system, a windmill, and live by a stream to generate hydro electricity and sell it to my neighbors a mile away after they run their own power lines.

I think I would have become a hit man.

My mulligan:
I would want to spend my days wearing a ghillie suit, nights wearing a hooded assassin's robe, play with guns and swords, throw knives and axes, and just enjoy lots of different foods!
Oh, wait a minute.....

4” Exhaust, and D1 Procharger dumped to atmosphere… I’ll play… 680rwhp on a very conservative dyno, 3100lbs, Roadrace Magnum F, 35spline 9”, methanol, Forged Welds, Toyo R compounds, Wilwoods, blah, blah, blah…

my grandfather had a 94 z28 drop top after he passed his brother took and then my mom bought it from him a year or 2 ago, when I last visited her she surprisingly let me drive it it was fun but man did it show its age I was not ready for

I feel like it’d be more fun working for you than what I do now

Where I work used to be one of the best places I ever worked but the branch chief of our org is a POS who has done his best to completely destroy our work environment in order to try and rebuild it so he can have a bunch of bullet points on paper as to why he deserves his next promotion. You work for the gov/mil so I'm sure youve seen the type. I try to keep the atmosphere like it used to be for the guys under me but I can only do so much. I can't wait until Craig gets his promo or leaves.

funny story still waiting to get clearance for a job there

I dont wanna have to get a TS, too much hassle. I've had opportunities to go to NASIC but..... nah lol

That Challenger is sexy! I had a 73 340 904 car that was terrifying!
I bet 700 hp is a lot of fun to drive!
I'm a Mopar guy. Still have my Coronet ragtop.
She needs resto now tho.
Nice ride!!!

Its a ridiculous ride. I've broke the rear tires loose at 50MPH just from smashing the gas to pass someone lol.

Gotta get that Coronet resto'd!!!

Love it! I'm sure it screams!

Tiny little item that can be shipped in a standard letter envelope for the cost of a single stamp,
but was charged $1.35 shipping and shipped in a plastic back that would fit an album.

I hate it when Amazon sends me a product in a big huge box that would fit in a much smaller one. So I have more cardboard than I want. Not very efficient. Bad for everyone.

 

[Doom!]

There are people in Africa who would kill to live in that box! You and your 1st world problems, you should be ashamed of yourself!

I could sell them to the highest bidder. But I have one problem.

They wont pay shipping. .

 

[Doom!]

Donate them to doctors without borders, they can take them on their next visit.

 

[blaster27]

But they want me to break them down first. .

Like his new red balls. .

They've just ripped up the old skate park near my house to make room for more shops. That's one less place to bash my RC's. But on a positive note, thats one less place for me to break my RC's

damn that’s unfortunate I have a skate park across the street for me I have thought about going there once the builds finished, also found out the closest hobby store has an open dirt spot for bashing it seems

 

[Warby]

That would be good. I don't even have a local hobby store. The closest one is about 2 hours drive and the staff there are d-heads. I do most my shopping online.

On the topic of bash spots.
I actually just downloaded an app for RC trails and spots. Call RC Spotters.

There's also the RCmaps website https://www.rcmap.io/

Plus there's a map of locations that someone on Arrma Forum made.

I could find the app. What's it called? Is it Apple or Android?

the website says iOS app maybe they haven’t made an absous version yet

So Gieco will not cover my challenger anymore because I put a procharger on it, but IF I owned a hellcat they would not only cover it, but it would be almost $200 cheaper than what I'm currently paying for insurance. HOW DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?!

we’ll see the problem is you told them you had it

the only solution is to buy a hellcat I guess sorry I don’t make the rules
