1983 Camaro
Straight-Line
Performance is what this ‘83 Chevrolet Camaro is all about. The engine
is a 427ci Dart Little-M Small block producing 650hp at 7,800 rpms. A
PowerGlide transmission equipped with a transbrake delivers power to a
12 bolt rear end fitted with gun-drilled 40 spline axles and a Mark
Williams Spool spinning 4:56 gears. The chassis consists of a hand
built 2x4 boxed tube frame with a fabricated rear 4-link system and
the front section has been modified with tubular down bars tying into
the stock front clip. Strange Pro-Race 4 piston steel brakes slow down
the 3100lbs car after its 9.40 @ 144mph quarter mile pass. This SST
Camaro wears 15x4 & 15x15 Centerline Convo Pro wheels and runs on
Mickey Thompson Tires. Body modifications include late model RS ground
effects, stretched wheel openings, shaved emblems as well as door
locks and drip rails. The exterior is sprayed Matador Red candy
tricoat. The interior is all business and houses several AutoMeter
gauges for monitoring the cars vitals. A set of upholstered
polycarbonate racing seats are fitted with 5 point harnesses for
safety. Electronic Delay and cross-over box and full CO air system
make this car a consistent threat in drag racing competition.
