Mikey 97Z M6's ""The Black Car"" - 1997 Chevrolet Camaro

Vehicle Photos

Description:

I bought this car in 1999. Modified it fairly heavily with the LT1, including self ported heads, cam, gears, full bolt-ons etc.. Car ran mid/low 12's at 114mph with that combo on street tires. Got tired of working on the car so it sat pretty much untouched from 2004 to 2007.

Late in 2007 I started the LS1 swap, and completed the swap in 2008. Now it has the mods listed below. Tuning and dyno numbers to come soon. Hoping to get close to 480-500rwhp N/A. I have a goal of getting some mid/low 11 second time slips this coming summer.
