If you do a search you will find some more pictures on here a year or so ago. There are pics of a yellow one as well.

From the website it shows it was entered by 'AC Automotive' and it was driven by Andrew Chester and Richard Wood and it gridded 24th and was credited with an 18th place finish and a 'did not finish' with 28 laps completed. Strange.
The photographer has an email listed 'jeremy.jackson@btinternet.com' and maybe he knows more? Interesting car for sure. Looks like a derhaag front body clip w/modified hood. Centerlock wheels, lots of cage...damn interesting. Costas cars and such... |

The guy who USED to make those cars/body kits was from Sweden. Joran Persaaker I believe. He has a speed shop and website last time I checked. He sent an email to me last year when all the people on here were going nuts over those cars.....he offered to send some of the kits over here for a price.....

no sign of scary widebody camaros...however it does have a cool link http://www.camarocup.com/ I don't remember those links and that much info and pictures last year. A lot of guys are running what looks like a common front splitter. I'd be real curious to find out more about that. It's not as wild as the one in the picture in the first post. I think it would be really cool if we could get some of those guys on this board (there's enough of them). I'm sure they could learn a few things from us, and we could learn a few things from them. A field trip would be nice too! Front breather, Porsche 911 wheels?: (IMG:http://www.camarocup.com/bilder/2006/38.jpg) This post has been edited by Teutonic Speedracer: Jun 2 2006, 10:54 AM |

there was a quick post on LS1 tech about those cars, as well as on here and CZ28. Several e-mails switched back and forth, there were language barrier issues and in the end nothing really happened, the cars were wild and very interesting, but it seemed that nothing could be done to get the body pieces to this side of the pond. The various camaro GFX that came from Japan took several years to make their way over here.

Good News, I called AC Automotive, they are based out of London. he said all the parts were made in house and that "Steel is a Dirty word" so apparently everything is Fiberglass. They still have the molds, he is getting me a price on monday.plus he said the car weighs about 1000 kilos.
edit:2200lbs. I plan on buying the front and rear fenders and Putting them on my T/A/ Somehow. This post has been edited by Totenkopf: Jun 2 2006, 06:53 PM |

Don't forget to update us on the cost, details, etc......Joran Persaaker was the one building the body kits for the "Camaro Cup" cars if I remember right.....the bodies were MUCH less aggressive, but still a nice kit for our cars..... |

One of those front fascia pieces would be really nice to have. I'd like to know if they mount directly to bumper cover or if they require some sort of bumper cover massaging to attach them. Although I'd buy one either way if the price is somewhat reasonable. Which brings us to, of course, cost and cost for shipping.
Also, are the pieces unique to the LT1 and LS1, or do they fit both. I think the bottom of both bumper covers are the same, but I'm not sure. That front piece with a nice splitter attached would be SWEET! Jason This post has been edited by JKnight: Jun 2 2006, 09:35 PM |

Jason The black "radical" car looks like you will need the ENTIRE front section (nose, fenders, hood) and A TON of fabrication......I doubt very much it is ANYWHERE near a bolt on effort. I think, again from memory, even the less radical Camaro Cup cars would require all three peices together to work.....they look like they might just bolt on though....dunno..... |

Here we go....it's one big piece I think..... (IMG:http://www.camarocup.com/bilder/2006/05-19/Camaro060519-007.jpg) Still interested in price either way. |

The camaro cup cars can get away with just a nose section. But its a one piece nose ie: the entire thing. So it would require a BIG box to get it over here. And the more "radical" cars is a complete package to get it to work right. |
