Shelby boys lay down challenge to new Nicky Camaro

The 2002 Nickey Bill Thomas Camaro did better than 1,000 hp the first time it was put on a chassis dyno. (Yutube video). Once it was dialed in and the boost was stepped up, it registered 1,200 hp at the rear wheels.

It's a street car,(cold air conditioning and power steering.... etc...) not a full on dedicated drag car. It even handles well! It still blows the tires at half track, like a top fuel car, while it is under full boost. (We now have it dialed back to 1,000hp).

Traction is a limiting factor to maximizing/lowering ets, but that is not what this car is ALL about!!

Another real world example are my Friends at the now defunct, Super Viper Systems. They were able to get their 1,500 hp street twin turbo, into the 9's and to go 250mph on the top end. (Different tires required all around.)

The Nickey BT camaro was built/designed circa 2002. There was quite a bit of "leading edge" technology, incorporated into this car, especially for the Era.

We choose to wait for the new platform (Gen V 2010 Camaro)and continued to develope engine technology for the New Nickey Camaros.

a) We already have a killer twin Turbo set up.

b) We have a naturally aspirated 700 plus hp LS7 427ci.

c) We have a proprietary Roots Blower 700hp LS7 427 ci

d) We may now also have GMs crate LS9 648hp ZR1 engine, available.

We are not looking to compete with Ford or Chrysler on a volume basis. The Nickey Super Camaros will be much more exclusive than any of their offereings. We feel confident that we will have a performance package which will exceed, what the competition has to offer, on many levels.
