Well. Once again the blog monster has attacked my photos. This Camaro is actually a vibrant ORANGE, so you will have to check out the real cover when the magazine comes out next month. My apologies to Jessica Chamberlain for this lousy image.Here's the info on the Camaro: Jessica Chamberlain, a student at Inlet Grove High school in Rivera Beach, FL, is the proud owner of this blazing hot 1970.5 Chevrolet Camaro. "The car is a project car my dad started on back when he was 17 years old," Jessica said. "He got me in to racing when I was about four years old. Ever since then, I have been interested in cars."
The Camaro racer features a 454 Big Block V8 engine with a quick shift that throws down 450 hp at 5600 rpm, with torque listed at 500 at 3600 rpm. The car can travel a 1Ž4-mile in 13.7 seconds at a speed of 103 mph. Jessica said she uses 101 octane fuel for the car that¹s contained in a 15 gallon fuel cell. The following are some of the changes, modifications and enhancements that Jessica and her father made to the Camaro. Most of the mods to get the Camaro race ready for an afternoon on the strip include solid lifters with four-bolt mains, forged steel crank and connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons and Mickey Thompson slick tires. To make the car safe for the track, a six-point roll cage was installed and five-point safety harness/racing seats were added.
