Mark Stielow's 69 Camaro, Red Devil

[Beach Cruiser]

The guys from GrassrootsMotorsports took a lot of pictures of Mark and Jake's cars. I think I heard them say they were going to run a feature on them in the next edition.

Awesome build. Way awesome build!

Anyway, I've read this whole thread trying to figure out what ABS controller that is.

Mark, do you mind telling us a little more about the ABS controller and associated wiring?

thanks!

John,

I spoke with Mark at that motorstate challenge, he has access to software to program it. Us mortals have to deal with a system that will not be optimized for the application. Matt from Morrison has adapted one to his 69 and seems to like it, but I have no idea if he was able to program his or not.

Yes, Matt Jones and I have had several discussion about his setup, and I'm going to use the same wheel sensors (C6 front/4th gen F-body back) he is using. It's the controller that Mark is using that intrigues me. It looks like a Bosch 8.1 unit (CTS-V, maybe?) and I'd just like to know some more about it.

Mark stopped in at a local car show with it briefly today, you should have seen the size of the crowd slobbering all over it (me included). Got to talking with him a bit about the various systems, during which he mentioned the ABS system is from a 2006 Z06.

The car is spectacular in its execution. Nothing unnecessary or out of place, just purposeful components and systems. All while looking mean, kicka$$, and gorgeous. Made me want to junk all my stuff and start over.

Well, I have a dilemma. This weekend I can take my car to Gingerman Raceway to a Ferrari Club track event and kick sand in the face of some uber Euro cars and eat brie and drink wine. Or I can go to Detroit and do an AutoX in a parking lot on Belle Isle (they find a few dead bodies on Belle Isle every year). Hmmm.

Ferraris, wine & cheese OR gunfire, grumpy SCCA people while standing in the sun shagging cones…..such a tough decision.

Well, due to the fact that the AutoX counts as the same amount of points at Optima as the road race portion, I need to go sort out my car for AutoX. “Honey where did I put my Glock and my AutoX tires”?

Since the Wal-Mart went to 24 hours I can’t practice there anymore.

Oh well, could be fun. I moved my speed limiter up to 60 mph because they said it would be a “fast” one.

I have been beating on my car a bit. After the VIR deal I got the rack fixed and the ABS working. The car hauls now.

We did Woodward Dream Cruise. Fun doing 3rd gear burnouts on Woodward.

Looking forward to the LS Fest in Bowling Green, KY and then SEMA and the Optima Shoot out.

My only problem with the car is I have to wash and polish it all the time because the paint and body work is so nice…. I blame Paul and Joe… Thanks guys everyone loves the paint.
