Re: cool video

The lotus is nimble, but that old tried and true mantra of "No replacement for displacement" can help you carry a BIG stick! Chevelles and Caminos share the same frame, so any and all G-machine mods work on both and chevelles can be tuned to carve serious corner, maybe not exactly like a Lotus, but darn near. As for the driver, if John Force lines up against a rookie, and the rook sleeps at the light, is John Force any less the winner of the race? Machines are only part of the racing equation, that is why there is only one winner and 42 loser in NASCAR.

Actually the frames are different but use the same suspension. That elky belongs to a member o my chevelle board I go to. It`s pretty tricked out and was also in CHP mag a while back. I think it`s got a 496 and a 6 spd. It`s definatly set up for road race chassis wise.
