2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III

[Stefano]

George,
What we would like to do for the Stage III is a 700hp version of the new Corvette ZR1, LS9 Supercharged engine.

This will depend on the availability of components and/or complete assembly through GM Performance Parts.

We have been working with some LS engine specialists and have the parts and technology to get a very reliable naturally aspirated (race tested) 700hp. So, for now we are keeping both options open.

OK, I've been one of the most severe critics of the styling misques (my opinion) on the Gen 5. But with that in mind I will say I applaud what you're doing with the car. The red stripe tires and <font color="blue">NIC<font color="red">K</font>EY</font> exclusive wheels are (again; in my extremely humble opinion), a home run, and the performance options you're outlining are exactly what is needed. Being an old-school kind of guy (i.e. Dinosaur) I would cast a vote for the normally aspirated Stage III package; holding more true to the historical lineage of the <font color="blue">NIC<font color="red">K</font>EY</font> cars.

Congrats Stefano, and Best Wishes for a successful Launch!

So you can teach an old Dinosaur new tricks

Thanks to all for the Support

See you at the Vette Fest.

I have one question...
who is building/supplying the motor?

Ok maybe two... where can we sign up?

Looks and sounds great -- how invasive is the roll bar that your putting in with stage 3 ?

[Stefano]

We are working with two Engine Builders, One here in the Midwest and One in California (Sound Familiar?)

We Plan to Announce Both Builders and have an actual engine and some Dyno Sheets available at the Vette Fest.

Since we don't have an actual car to work with, as of yet, the Roll Cage Option is not yet developed.

I also would like to announce that Dennis Barker is the Sales Manager for the Nickey Camaros. He has filled his Dealerships allocation and will be referring any additional orders, to other Network Dealers.

So would a stage two have a LS7? That would be awesome with full exhaust and a cam. Another shop to consider would be Vengeance. They do awesome work for the LSX community. Several of my friends have had their cars built there and they definately know how to squeeze every bit of power out of the motors.

[Stefano]

We are familiar with them and they seem to be a very competent builder.

The builders we will be using will have very strong and direct "Back in the Day" ties and are currently involved with leading edge technology in many current racing venues such as NASCAR. They have also been instrumental in the development of LS engine/technology and have worked directly with GM.

I'll Provide More Details but this is a summary.

Stage I: Mild Modifications to the Stock LS3

Stage II: Completely reworked LS3, (Stock V8 used in the Camaro).

Stage III: This is a complete new/different LS7 427ci transplant.
