Here a video filmed yesterday...

Some also like pictures, here are some interesting pictures for you;

This one is showing this Camaro SS hood scoop. I've had one in 1997 and this is the who gave me this love of V8 unique sound and torque;


In this image we can see the aggresive look of the whole new design;


We can see here the finition made behind the rear wheels, if you look carefully, you will notice how the tires are streched-in because of the 12 inches mag wheels, still 275/35/18 on !!!


And finally a more overview image of the car;


I have some more images posted here:

Now, we still have to finish the rear carbon deflector, the front grill (still not fixed for the look, looking at the 612 Ferrari style), the sides to cover the mufflers, finition on the wheels (they were not new) and a whole lot of finition before the molds !!!

Comming soon...

Thumbs up from me

Holy crap! That looks the balls! My only qualm is that it looks like your back left tyre is on backwards ie rotating in the wrong direction. I might be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me.

Otherwise, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Interesting videos to say the least. I think I remember reading that someone over in the Eastern States had also done a V8 conversion but I have never seen any photographs or specifications for it ...

looks VERY aggresive

there is also a video floating around youtube with a ferrari (fogot what model) against an nb V8. they were neck and neck most of the way, but over 160kms the mx started to fall back, remember though the roof was down
