Camaro Restomod Has 650 Ponies Under the Hood
With 650 horsepower on tap from an LS7 unit and Wilwood brakes to slow you down, what more could you want?
Restoration
A recent rotisserie restoration has this '67 Camaro looking sweeter than ever. But it hasn't just been restored to its former glory, its previous owner added a few modern touches.

Powerplant
Propelling this beauty is a blueprinted 427 ci LS7 powerplant. This unit pumps out an eye-watering 650 horsepower. Good look keeping this thing in rear tires.

Laying it Down
Getting all of this Camaro's power to the asphalt is a GM 12 bolt rear end. It's rear axle with 3.55 gears and Tru-Trac Positraction does its best to get all 650 ponies to the ground without too much fuss.

Handling
This Camaro is undoubtedly fast in a straight line, but it might surprise you to know it can handle some corners too. It's been fitted with Detroit Speed tubular suspension and a Detroit Speed 4-link rear.

Turn Heads
If the noise of this model's LS7 doesn't grab enough attention its PPG Deltron Inferno Orange paint job is sure to. The car's previous owner must have taken exceptional care of it because there isn't a scratch on it.

Brakes
It'd be downright irresponsible to create this 650 horsepower monster without upgrading its stopping power. Bringing everything to a brisk halt are Wilwood disc brakes.

The Extras
Approximately $125,000 has been spent on this build so, as you'd expect, it has some extras. It comes with a Vintage Air system and power windows. Does this qualify as the most awesome daily driver?
