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 can't shy away, curious,
captivated with a sense of self, d�j� vu like. You can't look fast
enough as your mind races soaking in the Screaming Deep Forest
Green Metallic as if it were dipped rather than painted - duel
Midnight Black racing stripes showing it's SS pedigree. It'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!
It'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 isn't stock but its right. A look in the rear view
mirror you notice the rear deck lid'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 - 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. You'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, it's you. To view your
