Jackass w/ LS9: original build and new Jackass 2.0 updates!

[Stielow]

Should finish the engine wiring tomorrow and deliver the engine and trans to go in the car Sunday. The guys at Reiter's are doing a great job. All the panels are painted and ready to install after the drive train is in the car. All the glass should be done today less the windshield.

Only 18 days until the car has to be in Cobo hall for Autoramma..:_paranoid

I'll shoot some more photos this weekend. Last night I just grabbed a couple shots.

Mark

[chicane]

160 MPH speedo... now, that's funny.

[awr68]

Is that a stock finish on the wheels? They look great and easily cleanable!

[n9013c]

Charlie - I know you really do like Butternut Yellow... It'll look good when get the car home to 'Jackass Acres'. :D

Ok I guess 160 is fast enough for an "old guy"... I think it's about time for you to build a Buick...:lol:

[Reiters Metal]

Well we got all the side glass in and lined up, dash cluster is in, interior should be finished up monday. I am going in tomorrow(sunday i know but its autorama time) to start the brake lines and install the rotors and calipers. Mark is dropping the motor off and taking some more pictures. the car looks killer with the wheels on it!!!!!!!!

What are the wheels from the first post? These wheels look different

[Stielow]

The wheels from the first post are Corvette Z06 these are ZR1s

[clill]

I already feel like I'm going fast with those switches.....

[ironworks]

Car looks awesome with those wheels.

[camcojb]

those brakes and rotors are just trick. Get those guys to straighten/level that rear bumper so Charley and I don't have to do it on Power Tour................ :) Car looks awesome guys, great job.

Ok...that is sick.
That's got to give you some wood Charlie...

[Tom.A]

Looks great :thumbsup: I like how you guy's are keeping the outside kinda stock ie; Bow tie emblem, factory mirrors, and trim. "The wolf in sheep's clothing" type. The pedal looks like the GM Harness DBW piece, but I would guess it is not as I thought I read the ECM on a LS9 was not a E38 unit. Keep the pictures coming!

[thedugan]

I kinda like the other wheels on the car. They both look real nice and the car is killer, I just like the look of the other wheel better.

Either way its an unreal ride.

[Steve1968LS2]

Man 'o man.. very nice blend of the classic and the leading edge tech.

The "drool" smilie seems woefully inadequate...

[tones2SS]

That is looking KILLER!!!!
Love the "old school" look with the modern technology. AWESOME!!!
Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

[customcam]

Absolutely awsome! Charlie and Mark my hats off to you :hail:

[awr68]

See the old man was right, yellow works!! :thumbsup:

[Serpa69]

Are you going to space out that rear wheel closer to the fender lip?

[3SuperSports]

You'd better be strapped in tight before you stab those brakes!


Looks great.

[66LS7]

That looks awsome Charlie can't wait to see it in person.:thumbsup:

[clill]

LOL...Here are a couple pics from the camera wizards at Reiters.....Just kidding guys, don't worry about pics. I know you are knee deep in getting it together.:cheers: :woot:

[Jr]

Stock motor mounts? How much work did that take? The wheels and tires look good.

[clill]

Are you going to space out that rear wheel closer to the fender lip?

The wheels get spaced out farther when the parking brake assembly's are installed.

[clill]

Stock mounts were more work but that mount should make for a quieter-smoother ride.

[J2SpeedandCustom]

Looks great guys! Can't wait to see it all together. And man that LS9 has a ton of stuff on the front, 2 belts, geez! But you all did such a great job fitting it looks like it factory. :thumbsup:

[GMracer]

is that wiring harness plug stock? I would assume no... who makes it? or is it a factory harness cut with a connector? either way info on it please, thanks in advance

[syborg tt]

the plug is called a canon connector or a mil spec connector

Used on all aircraft, you can get high density into a small area. Very little voltage drop, positive lock, keyed to prevent incorrect orientation.

The B400 belongs to a friend out here in Ca. Weird that we both end up with our cars at Reiters and we had never mentioned them to each other.

Yes the latch setup is all custom because of all the coolers stuffed up front.

[thedude327]

Camaro is looking good !!! Just about ready for Detroit Autorama............less than 2 weeks and seeing the glass and dash in, means it's in the home stretch. One thing that troubles me is the 160 top mph , with that engine package, doesn't the Corvette do 200 mph top speed? Time to put Stewart -Warner on speed dial.....:thumbsup:

we wehre not able to use the stock latch because we moved the rad, air cond, and intercooler forward, so we used a VW latch and made a cover to make sure all the air went through the rad.

Nice fit ,just like the ultimate COPO .

[WSSix]

Love it but I would change the engine cover. I know it's a Corvette engine but the car is not a corvette. Maybe make a brushed aluminum insert for the sides where corvette is stamped. The insert could have Camaro on it or just be plain. That way the cover is still there brining people's attention to the fact that it's unmistakably an LS9 but it doesn't say corvette on it.

Or just remove the cover all together and show off the supercharger and everything in all their glory.

[T-Type]

Holy crap!!!!! This thing is sweet! I love the way that motor looks in the engine bay.

Yeah, Charley was out playing with his Duramax today........ :) We were talking about all the projects he has right now, I'd guess he has as many un-finished as finished, maybe more............... :lol:

I have no interest in Autocrossing so I guess you just have to get off your ass and do Power Tour. Once you do you will regret all the ones you have missed.

[ZMAN1969]

Charlie, just following up with my offer to give you a hand with this problem you've got going now - which car to take on the tour. If you want to take more than one I'm still willing to follow you with one of the "old wore out p/t cars" of yours, this way you wont be feeling like you left the wife at home :D
Seriously, I will be asking you again this year- see ya on the road :bow:

Charley........You also need some Yellow Tinted Maui Jim's to go with the new Ride and shoes.............:rofl:

I can't afford the Maui Jim's. I bought Capstone stock.....

[kwhizz]

Ouch!!...............:yes:

[Stuart Adams]

Charley........You also need some Yellow Tinted Maui Jim's to go with the new Ride and shoes.............:rofl:

The yellow lenses allow you to see better contrast, especially with old people and cataracts, so they probably would benefit him, your right Ken, LOL.

And I know Stuart is going to give me a free pair when he shows up for Power Tour.

Mark,

Is that intake tube sourced from a GM vehicle?

Is the airflow sensor sandwiched between it and the throttle body?

Intake tube is just aluminum tubing with the sensor added.

Are the front wheel tubs stock or modified?

[clill]

Inner fenders have been modified to close up the area around the upper control arms. Just looks alot cleaner and Reiters is pretty good with metal.

[Payton King]

I like it a lot. What did you use for pedal covers...corvette stuff?

[Tom.A]

Outstanding job! Everything just flows great. It's really great to see such a high-tech equipped car without all the bling and body mods. I am sure buying a ZR1 would have been cheaper but it would not be nearly as cool. :hail:

[clill]

This will be more fun than # 3. Yes I miss it. I have # 14 going together though.

You have owned MANY cool cars. I plan on doing the last leg of this years Power Tour. Look forward to seeing JACKASS

I am anxious to hear it too !!!!:thumbsup:

Jason

[coolwelder62]

Charlie were any spacers used to fit the pos. offset ZR1 wheels on the AME. frt. sub. And what did you do on the rear. I would like to use the new ZO6 wheels on my 72 camaro.Thanks Scott.

[gearhead1186]

I love how clean and simple it is. Crazy car, but not disgustingly overdone.. exhaust dumped after the rear, stock door panels, no center console, no crazy sheet metal work...

but drivetrain and suspension mean business!!!!! just how i like it!!! :thumbsup:

[Ummgawa]

Did Mark help you acquire the LS9? It seems to be in short supply and from what I hear, with GM's woes the ZR-1 may be a one maybe two year car. I hope the engine come with a warranty just in case....

awesome car again.

All I want to know is, where the video of the engine running?

What goes in the boxes in the rear seat area?

Charlie,

In the storage compartment built in my back seat is 700 watts of XM. The cover is hinged and covered in carpet. Plenty of room to throw a few duffle bags. No room in the trunk because of the battery and fuel cell.

Charlie were any spacers used to fit the pos. offset ZR1 wheels on the AME. frt. sub. And what did you do on the rear. I would like to use the new ZO6 wheels on my 72 camaro.Thanks Scott.

No spacers used on the front or rear. I did hear it running over the phone and it idles smoothly at 700 rpm and sounds pretty cool.

Congrats Charlie. You gonna give me a ride next time I see you?

You gonna be out at the show in Woodland this year? If so, bring this one. El Mule is cool, but I think dad would like to see your new one. He and I still gotta come over one day and see your collection.

Do you happen to have any back spacing specs on the ZR 1 wheels? I"m guessing about 8" in the front and 9.5 in the rear. Any better specs then my rough guesses?

I love to hate that color. That's a serious sleeper if your not paying attention to the details. If i saw that car on the road I think I'd be so thrown off by the color and try to pick on it, :lol: once. Then i get my face shoved into the dirt.

All hail the Jackass?

-Russell

[syborg tt]

This car is simply the most understated car built. Everything about it screams quietly at you.

The more I look at it the more I think back to the car that got me hooked ( the "Mule".

Just incredible cool - nice work guy's

[tones2SS]

Very nice.
I love the "old school" look with the new school technology, which isn't real apparent, until you get smoked by the car. lol:lol: :thumbsup:

[awr68]

What a great build! :hail:

[buickfunnycar.com]

Normally i am not a fan of those style of wheels on these cars nor do I really like them w/o stripes but that car just looks so damn sinister it's scary...stance is absolutely spot-on.:hail:

[almcbri]

love this car! The first time I saw a ZR1 I thought about how cool it would be to transfer its parts to a 69. Killer car

Well said Marty!! Nice job Mark & the guys' at Reiter's! You have to be a happy camper with this one Charlie!

[Vegas69]

Very nice....the Mule is still my favorite of all that you have built.

[clill]

I'll be a happy camper when we are headed down the road in it on Power Tour........:cheers:

[MattO]

You gonna have it back home for a bit first, or just pick it up @ Power Tour '09?

I still have to come see your collection one of these days...

[OLDFLM]

What about GM Jetstream Blue?

No time to ship it home before Power Tour. GM Jetstream blue ?

[OLDFLM]

:yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: But expensive

I'm sure Charlie can afford it... and you know why I like it Mario! :unibrow:

[clill]

What are you guys talking about ?

[tones2SS]

What are you guys talking about ?

I think they're talking about the X car you have for sale?
I may be wrong, but I think that's it.

[OLDFLM]

Sorry Charlie! My CRS must have been kicking in or I got my wires/threads X'd... Jetstream Blue would look incredible on Camaro X!!!

Man Jody can you snap a pic???:willy: I would love to see that color on a 69

[JETSET700]

Jackass is the penultimate PT car of today as was X. The combination is barely even available yet & it's done. All this in the anti-bling style I love.
It's built to be driven, not to win SMOTY. I'm sure Mark will get the suspension balance dialed to match what that car deserves. And you go with your yellow Charley! Quite the dreamy car there. I just wish I could get my car done but it's close to start now.

Peter

[camcojb]

yeah, I'll have to move some stuff in the second shop and push it outside. Really looks good.

[fleetus macmullitz]

A video of it on the road would be excellent. I'm sure you have no shortage of volunteers Charley, that would help if you decide to. :thumbsup:

[Stielow]

Working on JA today. Getting all the new car bugs sorted out. We shot it for a Hot Rod feature last weekend. Static shots and drifting shots.

Due to the fact the photos will be used in the Hot Rod story I'm not posting those photos them until after the mag comes out.

I will try to get some other shots of the car outside when it stops raining.

The LS9 is killer. On a 3rd gear stab it will ignite the tires. It idles at 650 RPM and make torque just off idle.

The ride is good on the low profile ZR1 rubber even on crappy MI roads.

Brake feel is very good with the ZR1 brakes. They still need one more bleed to get a little firmer pedal.

The twin disk ZR-1 clutch is butter smooth on launch and the sytem effort seems just right.

I have about 100 miles on the car now and just sorting it out prior to Power Tour.

Well back to it.

Mark

[fleetus macmullitz]

Great info, thanks Mark for that healthy JA snack.

Look the same as what I'm using on my car - I got mine out of a '91 Jetta.

Kller car Charley & Mark - congrats on a great build, as usual.

That's good to know, Mark. Katech is working on a new flywheel so the LS9 dual disk will work on standard LS motors.

Is it also activated from the inside of the car?

We have a little cruse in here in Detroit on Sat. mornings. It is a 8 - 10 am deal so I took Charley's car. It was a lot of fun and the car was a big hit.

[Stielow]

After the car show I went to Stenods to keep sorting out JA.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq118/Stielow65/DSC_2625.jpg

We bolted it down to the chassis dyno to verify all system (cooling, fuel pump, intercooler system) were all working correct.

It was awsome. Joe put te dyno in drive simulation and we were able to work out all the drivability issues in the shop. Make quick tune ups and WOT runs with no speeding tickets.

[Stielow]

Well after about 70 hours of thrashing on JA over the last 6 days I took it out to cruise Woodward Saturday and Sunday night. I put over 200 miles on it and it is a kick to drive. The LS9 is awesome. Great drivability. Idles at 650 rpm. The instant torque is crazy. A guy in a hopped up 5.0 Mustang jumped me from a 30 mph roll. Naturally I hit JA. Not used to the instant torque I blew to tires off and the Mustang got a jump on me. Once I gained traction I blew by him with a lot of authority. The noise and tire smoke show got me a big thumps up...

[Stielow]

I'm no chassis dyno guy so here are the numbers from a quick pull. Joe said these were good numbers because he had a twin turbo 427 on the dyno last week that made 525 HP. That car went low 10's.

We dynoed another LS9 with the same engine cal on an engine dyo and got these number.

Mark, Thanks for posting the pics and all the info. This has been a great build to follow. :thumbsup:

I hope I get a chance to see JA on the road here in Michigan before you send it home to Charlie.

[Vegas69]

Awesome numbers.....that would be way to much drivetrain loss. I'd have to question those engine dyno numbers. Either way a blast to drive.

[tones2SS]

That is so awesome.
Seeing those pics of JA at the car show is just breath taking. The car just sits PERFECT and just by looking at it, you can tell it was put together VERY well!!
Very nice!:hail: :thumbsup:

[coolwelder62]

Mark can I get some info on the wheels on J-A Dia, how wide. offset ,& back spacing.I really want to use the 06/ZO6 wheels on my 72 camaro I am working on now.Just love the look of that OEM wheels. Scott.

Mustang Dyno's are notoriously low #'s wise. Would def see higher #'s from a dynojet, I wouldn't be too concerned after seeing the engine dyno #'s tho

[clill]

Awesome numbers.....that would be way to much drivetrain loss. I'd have to question those engine dyno numbers. Either way a blast to drive.

Both dyno #'s were posted to show just what it is. The engine dyno was done at a shop that builds stuff for GM. The Chassis dyno was done on a new Mustang Dyno at Stenods. Joe at Stenods says his same dyno showed a twin turbo 427 making 525hp. I doubt if there is a 200 hp loss thru the drivetrain. We are not trying to sell engines here and posting fluffed #'s. A Dyno guy can make it show any # the customer wants.

[Musclerodz]

Looks great Charley. JA definitely is a culmination of all the others done just right. After looking at it for awhile now, I wonder how an argent grill would look to tie in with the wheels?

Didn't say you were. Simply stating that there is no way those numbers go together. There are a couple ZR1 chassis dynos on you tube. I would agree those numbers, especially the torque is conservative. Edmunds chassis dynoed a new ZR1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC-PQca6FJU

Im still waiting on the Video :(
oh.
She looks awsome

[coolwelder62]

I know the ZR-1 wheels are 19X10 & 20X12 And the C6ZO6 wheels are 18X9.5 & 19X12. And they are differant in design. I was thinking the offsets might be close to each other. I just was hoping some one would know the offsets.

[Stielow]

Production ZR-1 wheels are.

Front 19 X 10 40 mm offset
Rear 20 X 12 59 mm offset

Tires 285/30R19 Tire
Front 335/25R20 Tire

ZR1 Wheels Part Numbers
Front 09597239
Rear 09597241


Mark

[Rhino]

Front 19 X 10 40 mm offset
Rear 20 X 12 59 mm offset


If anyone else is interested to see how this equates to backspace...

Front: 7.07"
Rear: 8.82"

[Ummgawa]

Are the wheels being reproduced yet?

[Rhino]

They are being reproduced, although I have yet to see them in true ZR-1 sizes.
They were originally slated for March of this year.
