I don't care how many times I see the black car. But every time I do it makes my pee pee tingle.



That black one is outstanding, and that hood is WICKED!

Whats the contact info for the Black and yellow cars?


Was anyone ever able to contact these guys? I would seriously start looking into it if I knew how to get ahold of them.

Do a Google search.....they were not too hard to find. Communicating with them was not easy, but not hard. I emailed Joran Persaker several times.....he was willing, but we didn't get far. Someone here asked for a body kit, and they were willing to ship one over here for a price....wasn't too horrific, but not cheap either as I remember. They even said something to the effect of "Hey buy the kit and produce it and sell it over there if you like....."

...just never gained traction around here.....

Was that the "camaro cup" guys or the or the black and yellow one. I know the black and yellow cars are UK based and the Camaro cup are swedish, norwiegin or danish.

I searched AC Automotive on the side of the black car and it was an air conditioning place that did american cars but didnt see anything about a race team.

Joran Persaker was a Camaro Cup guy....that is the guy I talked to. I am pretty sure there was a guy who talked to the AC Automotive guy or someone similar on the other cars as well. I would persue the AC Automotive angle and also do a search on or about the very first month of this site about "european Camaros" and there should be some mention of who they got ahold of.....

Sounds like the car was competitive. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif)

Also, from what I'm reading I think the series it ran in was discontinued. It was called Formula Saloon and the guy who drives/owns the car is Andy Chester (no doubt the "AC" in AC Automotive). I think he has a shop in the UK. I wonder if he still has the car?

that third gen firebird is hot. 6L twin turbo, the stuff dreams are made of. Too bad about the tranny issues. Interesting it mentions 1000hp too much even for the track.

This quote says it's a V8, probably a carb version.....
Like a phoenix from the ashes, and in stark contrast arrives the bright yellow Camaro. A more reliable 6.0L, normally aspirated, 1998 Chevy 350 performance block.

The last mention there is in 2003. As boyce said, one of the links goes to nothing which suggests the series is dead, the other has a ton of info, but I'm not having an luck finding anything about the camaro.

Given the date of the pictures I would imagine we will have one hell of a time coming up with the parts. I would guess it becomes less likely every year.

Don't know why I keep looking at this since I have a pontiac... guess morbid curiosity.

hmmmm, lets see....still need to pay for the 14.0:1 solid roller motor, dry sump and hood. that kind of leaves me broke. Maybe I can talk them into a free bee on the body kit. I will try to amaze them with my whit and charm.

There was an email link on that site but the email page was down. I will try to find another way to contact the guy that wrote that article and see what I cant do.
