Few Camaros can turn heads like this one, and fewer still can plant
people in the seats. With under 4,200 original miles, the car's
nearly new, inside and out.
Here's what Super Chevy Magazine had to say:
Since 2000, Scottsdale, AZ-based Chris Fesler and his company
Fesler Built has done numerous project and demo vehicles for GM and
other car companies. As Fesler once churned out 10-plus SEMA cars
every year over a six-year stretch, you could say that he knows a
thing or two about building a crowd-wowing, show-stopping machine.
When GM brought the new Camaro back in 2010, Feslers enthusiasm for
the popular ponycar resulted in him putting some what-if Camaro
designs on paper channeling his penchant for design, he put the
ever-popular 69 Camaros essence here, visualized a body kit there.
He eventually settled on a design that had a 1969 flair to it, and
was both visually striking and undoubtedly unique. Of course, what
separates Chris from the thousands of 16-year-old boys who draw
awesome cars in study hall is the fact that he actually turned
those drawings into the Fesler-Moss Camaro you see here.
Fesler Built not only owns the design patent for this stunning
Camaro, the company also makes most of its parts in-house. But this
machine is much more than a 5th Gen with a body kit and a Jon Moss
licensing deal the expertly integrated LS9 engine is your first
clue. The LS9 itself is a direct swap into that engine bay, Fesler
starts. The difference is, we use a re-pinned Camaro ECU and
re-wired a Camaro wiring harness to work with the engine. And by
doing that, we've got almost a complete factory install. It
probably took us about a month to figure out all of the wiring and
computer issues so we could do a plug-and-play setup.
The learning curve for building a Camaro LS9 was steep - probably
the biggest problem we had was getting the paddle shifters to work
with the automatic transmission. Other LS9 swaps use the manual
trans, which is easy compared to using the auto. Getting the
transmission to talk to the motor and the paddle shifters to work
right was a pretty good challenge."
This supercharged LS9 has been tweaked to make a bit more than the
rated 638 horses. While this beast's internals are all factory
stock, the team designed a new air intake that wears an Airaid
filter to inhale lots of clean, smooth air. And a highly efficient
Magnuson intercooler is charged with keeping the charge air nice
and cool. Once the LS9 does its thing, spent gases flow through
Fesler 1 7/8-inch headers, feed into a 3-inch collector, go through
high-flow cats, and dump into a 3-inch B&B exhaust system.
Those additional go-fast goodies are combined with a two-stage,
in-tank fuel pump system and a tuned ECU to produce roughly 705
horsepower, and 680 foot-pounds of torque. "We can get a lot more
out of it, but we tune it back down to keep it reliable for years,"
Fesler says. "And really, anything over 700 on the street is just
nuts anyway."
While initial auto trans work was done with a 6L80E, once the GMPP
6L90E became available, one was bolted up along with a custom
Hughes Performance converter. The Driveshaft Shop supplied a new
driveshaft - good for 1,500 horses, and axles - good for 1,000
horses, with only the stock differential between all of that power
and an overworked set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires.
Chris's thoughts on keeping that diff stock: "We haven't put
stickies on it yet...and those street tires will definitely
spin!"
Fesler-Moss number 1 also sports a serious suspension, as a Pedders
Track II kit was installed. Pedders is known for providing just the
right parts for sublime handling; in this case, goodies like body
and suspension bushings, 27mm sway bars with endlinks, and
30-way-adjustable coilovers. These Pedders parts nix the wheelhop
and kill the body roll, while dropping this Camaro's stance a
couple inches in the process. Speaking of dropping, a
Fesler-branded Baer brake system adds some serious stop to the
LS9's go; 15-inch rotors sport 6-piston calipers that clamp down on
all four corners, and braided lines and a Baer proportioning valve
keep the pedal firm and the stops drama-free.And no, your eyes
aren't deceiving you: if you know those brakes are 15s - how
freakin' big are the wheels? The 3-piece Asanti FS-914 rims measure
a whopping 22 inches. While hitting potholes would definitely be a
bad idea, these rims, when spinning, provide enough wind power to
light Scottsdale for a night. Seriously though, the multicolored
rollers are 9 inches wide up front, 10.5 inches in the back, and
wear Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires that measure 265/30/ZR22
front, 295/25ZR22 rear.
But what really sets the Fesler-Moss Camaro apart is its unique
body. This bold design features a wide-look, low, and aggressive
front fascia with larger, billet aluminum grilles and billet fog
light bezels. And thanks to the suspension drop, the Fesler-Moss's
bumper looks like it could headbutt a beetle. Watch those curbs,
folks... Redesigned side skirts complement the front fascia, and
the stunning rear fascia touts a body-color lower bumper, restyled
spoiler, and the best-looking taillights this side of the '69
Camaro. Visually, the finished product is as clean as it is
dramatic - a testament to Fesler's innovative design team.
Fesler-Moss number 1 wears 1969 Chevy white paint that, according
to Fesler, was sprayed by Gary Sharp from Prescott Auto Body
sprayed it, and then added orange stripes to complete the retro
look. In the Camaro's cabin, retro '69 meets edgy contemporary. The
Fesler team hunted down some Houndstooth, then Hydro Carboned the
rest of the interior to match. The two-knob factory stereo was
tossed in favor of a full-display navigation screen that powers a
1,350-watt, 3-subwoofer sound system. Final touches include branded
leather seats with special stitching, and touch door handles from
Cadillac.While the dyno runs are the only recorded performance
parameters so far, Fesler saw 185 miles an hour on the rollers, and
estimates that the modded LS9's grunt and the revised bodywork
could put top speeds in the 200-mph range. So, you can see why
Chris Fesler is mighty proud of this Fesler-Moss Camaro - and he
thinks you'd like it, too.
