Just look at it. The lines, masculine and athletic, muscularly refined in elegant style. The shape, the stance as it just sits there commanding your attention. You canâ??t shy away, curious, captivated with a sense of self, déjàvu like. You canâ??t look fast enough as your mind races soaking in the Screaming Deep Forest Green Metallic as if it were dipped rather than painted â?" duel Midnight Black racing stripes showing itâ??s SS pedigree. Itâ??s a real one, SS Cragars at each corner mounted 275/60/15 Performance meat instigating the road on the rear and 205/15/15 up front with graceful purpose. Its calling you, come closer it says. The two tone green buckets and matching rear seats not only compliment but make you feel like this is what the factory should have done. YES! Itâ??s a stick, 4 speed Hurst shifter sitting there waiting for your hand to fit it like a glove, you let out an audible wow. You start to realize this thing mean serious business. Like a voice in your head you hear the next command; get in. You reach for the door handle like extending your hand to an old friend. You get in, comfortable, amazed at the attention to deal, the simplicity of it, laid out like someone blue printed your desire. Rally Pack gauge cluster nestled on the console where it should be. Chrome steering wheel clearly isnâ??t stock but its right. A look in the rear view mirror you notice the rear deck lidâ??s custom work that matches the headliner, another wow. Key is in the ignition, you turn it, instinctively giving two pumps of the accelerator. All four senses become alive â?" the roar under your feet, the smell of fuel and exhaust only cars like this can claim, the somewhat stock looking dash lights up with the coolest hue of blue and super easy to see as a chill runs up your neck and good bumps down your arm. Throttle the gas and everything repeats. Youâ??re 19 again. Clutch depressed, hand on shifter you slide right into first. The 383 CID Stroker engine churning 485 hp matches your breathing with its Seasoned I piece rear seal block, Scat cast steel crank and 4340 forged rods, Icon Keith Black forged pistons, Perfect Circle moly rings, Clivite bearings, Howards hydraulic roller cam and lifters, Melling oil pump, Elgin double roller timing and Elgin stainless valves, Comp Cam push rods, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Quick Fuel 750 CFM mechanical secondary carburetor, Dart heads and MSD Pro Billit ready to run distributor. New aluminum radiator and wiring harness keeps the coolant and electricity flowing without fear. Fresh with only 1036 miles since build, you take the Rockcrusher transmission into second, chirp, now into 3rd gear, chirp again. 485 lb-ft torque screams power through the new headers and Flowmaster exhaust yet the Camaro SS handles it with refinement, cavalier as a gentleman when it needs to be and an out-right animal when it wants to be. Sound familiar? Of course it does, itâ??s you.
