2001 Chevy Camaro Z28 Hardtop 6-Spd Manual, Arctic White, ~35k miles This is an original 1 owner car. I ordered the car in 2001 and it was used as a street car for roughly the first 20k miles. Then in 2003 it became a street/track car, and by May of 2003 I started it tracking it with the BMW club. It became track only in 2005 I believe. Basically, I made sure this car would be durable before it ever hit the track (hence the oil cooler, brake upgrades, etc.). The first few years it was tracked with a 6pt bolt-in cage and then in the winter of 2006 a full cage was fabricated. The car is very durable and has seen roughly 85 track days (Limerock, Summit Point, Jefferson Circuit, Shenendoah, Watkins Glen, Pocono, NJMP Thunderbolt, VIR). As you can see from the list of parts, I really only went with high quality parts with durability and performance in mind. Horsepower is approximately 430rwhp and weight is approximately 2900 lbs. I shaved weight just about everywhere I could (Lexan, LW clutch, pressure plate, body sealer, lightweight battery, stripped wiring, parking brake removal, tubular front bumper, etc.). The car is very tight with solid rod ends everywhere except for the shocks. The car has never been crashed, never seen snow/salt, and has only seen rain on a few occasions. I’m an engineer, as well as my mechanic/racer friend that helped with the build. The car was $25,000 and I’ve got over $27,000 in modifications without including labor, tires, brake pads, or other consumables, which would easily bring it up over $60,000 invested. I always put a focus on quality and having a plan before attacking something. I’m basically burnt out and between being recently married, a homeowner, and planning for a family, I’m contemplating selling the car. I’m scheduled for a track day at the end of October, but haven't been out in the car since Oct 2009. This will serve as a great track car for someone or with a few small additions could compete in NASA American Iron Extreme. I’ve included a few pictures below, but have many more. I’ve kept a full history of the car in pictures, covering nearly all modifications. I also have 90% of the receipts, etc. Prices paid are shown next to items (I’m not parting the car out at this time). Car is currently stored nicely in a garage with a fresh oil change.

Thanks for the comments guys. Those two interior shots are actually before the dash, seats, covers, etc. were put back in (as shown in the garage shot).
I'd like to keep it, but I'd also like the money. If I get back into the hobby, I'd enjoy building something else (some of the fun is in building it and passing cars on the track). For now, I'm furnishing a house, and enjoying my iRacing. This is the only place I posted it so far. I know I should put it on LS1Tech as well, but where else would you all suggest I post it? |
