Vinnie's TT 69 Camaro "Sure Shot"

[68protouring454]

Jrs is proud to bring you the reincarnation of our company test car. Vinny a returning customer, wanted an all out track day, time trial car. We had thoroughly tested and tuned all our parts for the 67-69 camaro platform, and we were ready to move onto the next project/ products. It was a perfect match. As well tuned and fast as the car was with the hot cammed ls1, t-56, 18 inch ccw wheels,jrs apex front subframe and 3 link tq arm out back, with 6 way adj bilstein custom valved shocks. Vinny wanted more, so we hooked him up with a Mast motorsports black label ls-7 engine,to protect the engine on track, we went with a autokraft rr oil pan and a 3 qt accusump, killer baer 6p calipers with 14 inch 2 piece rotors, hanging pedals, triple master cylinders, remote reservoir,flushed lexan windows, with black edge,smoothed bumpers, new paint, powder coated wheels, ring bros anodized door handles, air frame hood hinges, and a custom track inspired interior. Check back for video and final completion photos. Also keep an eye out for Sure Shot at your Nasa pro racing and Pro touring events next year.

[awr68]

Bitchin'!!! Love the new look! Really like the interior and coated wheels! What paint code is it? :thumbsup:

Bowtie, the mast engine runs incredible. I have done 4 of them this past year and they all have been great.I am a dealer for them
We thru it together because it was the customers birthday and he wanted to run it on the track.

Jake did you right. How did you like driving it a NJMP?

What seats did you get again. Jake told me but i forgot.

[Vegas69]

Killer car man! It's definitely going to be a car to be reckoned with. Are you going to keep the blue car?

[vinz68]

That's the kind of tool I want!

Where did the tri-y headers come from?

I had some Huffacker Engineering one's for my car that wouldn't clear the stearing box as is. Looking back I regrete selling them.

[vinz68]

Looks awesome Vinnie.

Won't know for sure because the engine was dyno'ed at Mast Motorsports with out Jakes intake. I'll be getting a chassis dyne tune when I get back home. I'll post up the sheet when it's done.

Thank you!! It's hard to say right now...... as soon as the weather breaks here I'll take them both for a ride and see for sure. The ls is def more friendly to drive but the 496 pull's great up top!!

Jake, your post is a reminder of how important indoor air quality is for those who spend time in a automotive shop this time of year.

:lol:


Enjoyed the pics... awesome build. :thumbsup:

[Vegas69]

My kind of build, all business and done very well. :thumbsup:

[Tom.A]

Jake, That is awesome build. Tell Vinny to throw you an extra tip and buy a better camera :D . We need some better pictures. Is that a steam line connected to your catch can?

[68protouring454]

its a 16 mp canon slr, just done quickly and in reg shop lighting also resized
yes thats connected to the catch can, the radiator is a c/r with built in oil cooler and no fill neck, so the catch can is the reservoir as well

Gotcha. I guess I forget you are likely under a blanket of snow this time of year so no outside shots. I look forward to seeing more :thumbsup:

Looks real good Jake. The pics do look like cell phone quality, maybe post some better quality shots.

Pleasure is all mine, thanks for the inspiration.

What tires do you typically run and what is the life expectancy?

[syborg tt]

car looks awesome.

I love all of the little details

[vinz68]

I have Hoosier R6's on it now. Only have one track day on them. They are great. Don't think they'll last to long though. I'm getting another set of wheels to put ps2's on for the street and PT events.

How many track days will do you expect from a set of tires? What is your "home" track and what's your favorite track? Cant' wait for some track day video!

[tones2SS]

Looks great. Love the layout of everything in the cockpit.:thumbsup:

[vinz68]

How many track days will do you expect from a set of tires? What is your "home" track and what's your favorite track? Cant' wait for some track day video!

I think I can 6-8 track days out of a set of R6's. Hopefully more! My home track is NJMP in Millville NJ they have 2 tracks there,Lightning and Thunderbolt. I like Lightning better. I'll be there April 2nd. can't wait!! I just got a go pro HD so I'll get video!!!

Better tire wear estimate than I expected. Glad to hear you've got a TD Fix scheduled, I'll bet you're chomping a the bit to get her on the track. I've got a fix coming Sunday at Fontana with KTM. :thumbsup:

With the GoPro suction cup mount you can use one of the adhesive plates and a mounting arm attached as an anchor for a tether line. The GoPro's are also great for monitoring suspension travel, check out your wheel-well and undercarriage mounting options. Also use it to monitor your foot and upper body to improve technique. Rearward facing footage can be a useful learning tool for covering lines and seeing where you're giving up time in sections.........and it gives a looks fast perspective. :unibrow: Here's one from ORP on my little 690 single with a buddy following on his 690: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obHins69HoI excuse the audio, it's from the old non-HD camera.

Congrats on an awesome car, I'm really looking forward to your video and audio!

The engine has 16 injectors , 2 fuel systems. Under 5 lbs boost it runs on pump gas, over 5 lbs race fuel.

I'm going to weigh the car to see. It was 3100 before. But now we got rid of lexan, installed flush glass, heat and AC. The new motor is an iron block as well.

[Jr]

Vinnie,
Are you going to have jake beef up the rear suspension after the install? Did you use the factory frame rails in the rear?
