With This ’80 Z28, George Paul Unintentionally Raised The Bar When It Comes To Building Late Second-Gens.

Hit any car show these days-from a colossal spread like the Detroit Autorama to an intimate gathering at the local Fuddruckers-the chance of coming across a stunning late second-gen is somewhere between slim and none. Sure, you’ll see quite a few nicely-restored examples and a plethora of drag cars, but nothing that will compare to George Paul’s award-winning ’80 Z28. And it’s not as if these cars aren’t plentiful and still affordable-they are. They make great projects, it just seems like owners of these particular rides have yet to be provoked with the appropriate template on provisions to give these cars proper street cred … until now, that is.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro

Mark Stielow’s Latest Camaro Is The First Recipient Of An LS9 Engine Swap-And This One Makes More Than 700 HP

You are looking at the first hot rod powered by the LS9 V-8 crate engine sold by GM Performance Parts, the same supercharged, 6.2L mill used in the latest ZR1 Corvette. But while the engine choice is really cool, don’t be fooled; this ’69 Camaro is about way more than just an engine. It came together under the guidance of well-known Pro Touring car builder Mark Stielow. Unlike the other 35 or so cars Mark has built, this one started in the mind of his friend Charley Lillard. As a direct descendent of the killer ’69 Camaro that Mark unveiled back in 2003, which was called the Mule, Charley decided to simply call this ride Jackass.

The name is somewhat misleading. The Mule represented a huge step forward in the build and performance of a Pro Touring-style muscle car. It featured massive rubber, production-looking mini-tubbed rear wheelwells over a streetable four-link rear suspension, a 1,000hp twin turbo V-8, a late-model front suspension, 275/35R18 front tires, 335/30R18 rear tires, and was detailed in 22 consecutive months of magazine buildup stories. The Mule was chassis-dyno-tested in 0-to-200-mph runs, run in track events at facilities such as Laguna Seca, and driven cross-country on four HOT ROD Power Tours(r).

Camaro gets a Trans-Am makeup

Pontiac may be staring at its grave, but the brand’s legacy will live on, point in case, the ASC Trans Am. Using the 2010 Camaro, ASC (American Specialty Cars) recreated the decades old Pontiac Trans Am. They have created a muscle car that follows the Trans Am in spirit, but does not come across as totally the same car. There’s no word from ASC as of yet, it is believed that a custom program to convert 2010 Camaros to the Trans-Am will be available.

Is this the end of Chevy SS models?

So GM is shutting down its legendary High Performance Vehicle Operations team. This is the unit of GM responsible for bringing us every SS model ever built, from the ’63 Nova SS to the upcoming ’10 Camaro SS (not to mention the crazy fast Cadillac CTS-V and insanely goodCorvette ZR1).
