Stefano,

I may have missed it in this thread, and you may want to PM me an answer, but how much for an identical unit out the door? Has anyone researched the 50th state (CA) smog implications? I'm not so much concerned with the sniffer levels as I am with failing visual. I can see the look on my smog guy's face now...

I consider myself a level headed, law abiding citizen, but my big concern is getting stupid behind the wheel of one of these. I have had to lock cars in my garage for years because I was witnessed by local law enforcement missbehaving.

JB

Well, we had a chance to play with the 2010 Yenko Camaro today..

Steve and the gang at Nickey Chicago accomplished the impossible. We now have a cool car that is as equally comfortable going to the super market (which Diana did this morning) as it is in full race mode (which the boys tried).

Idles at 650RPM, very slight lope, takes off smooth, shifts as normal, exhaust has a nice deep rumble, not too loud.

When you hammer it, with the new torque converter and program, the auto transmission is awesome. Add the Pedders drag race suspension to the mix, feels really strong. At wide open, the exhaust sound is very musclecar-ish.



Cannot wait for the first test –n-tune.

Tom,

The news could not be any better than that!! And the BIG TEST was Diana taking it to the grocery store and us getting HER APPROVAL!!

Thank you,

HUGE THANK YOU to Stef &amp; the gang @ Nickey-Chicago, FLP, and the host of other folks who had a hand in this car...folks in town have been driving me crazy wondering about the car, and when I got to show it off today, they went absolutely BONKERS for it! Only problem is, my wife has decided she'd like to roll into work in her own new Camaro...I think she drove it more than I did today?!

The thing rides &amp; drives like a dream, but will run like STINK! Might be a couple of new pucker marks on the seat now, though...!!

Rob,

I see the front end of the '69 Y-Camero is up in the air. You have not got the new bullet relaoded yet?

Glad to hear that the package is all you were looking for and more!!

And Rob, do what you have to but you need to get your Chevelle up and going. If that requires you to get your wife a '10 blue w/ white stripes, then you had better make her happy!!!!
