Jimmie Johnson's 67 Camaro now on Lateral-g

[Payton King]

A Cup motor tuned to make 815 hp and turn 10,000 rpms is a little peaky for street driving, not to mention the fact it idles at almost 2 grand. They are hard to drive around the garage area much less the street. Jimmy also would not like to keep barrels of race gas at his houses. I would say a pump gas street motor that makes 650 hp would be good enough. The car is going to have a/c as well. He is not trying to build another race car as he has a whole stable of those at his disposal.

Cool looking ride for sure!

Danica Patrick, now Jimmie Johnson, what well known driver is next to get on the Camaro bandwagon? At least it isn't a '69.

This is going to be a pretty badass car I worked for Jim Ptigrew (If you didn’t read the article Scott wrote that’s whose shop it is at) Saturday and we rehung the front sheet metal to start construction of the dry sump oil tank. I have should have some update pictures next weekend.

any news....

Well that's certainly impressive ...makes my 554hp 383 stroker look like chopped liver.

Love the exhaust!

else. Jim Pettigrew is suppose to pick it up some time this week and bring it back for final assembly. The motor is not back from Hendrick yet, so he is going to do everthing else while he waits.

Once the car is back, I will take some progress shots.
