Hot Rod Magazine’s 11-second E-Rod LS3 ’79 Z28 project car is Hotchkis TVS equipped.

When Hot Rod Magazine picked up the Z28 it was in sad shape.

They wanted the best and easy to install suspension parts so they went with Hotchkis (http://www.hotchkis.net). Here you can clearly see the Chassis Max Handle Bars with the GM 430hp E-Rod LS3 nestled in between them.

^I agree, maybe someday.

The HotRod Camaro is a sweet ride though.

I would venture to say that GoodGuys will be allowing newer cars into their shows pretty soon as attendance is down at some of the shows at this might help generate more interest.

I always liked these cars decked out with the factory spoilers. The good thing is these cars are still priced reasonable.
