Nickey Chicago

In my searches on the net I ran in to some great information about one of the super car builders of the 1960’s, I must say I love this news, as far as performance, and the new SS camaro news doesn’t get any better then this, I’m sure if your a camaro fan at all you’ve heard of Nickey camaros.

Nickey Chicago plans to build a 427 LS7 powered 2010 camaro that will put out 700 HP, this for a camaro freak is great news, it will help the new camaro get the fame it so much deserves, all of the details are not yet worked out, but this is exciting for you if your a camaro freak like me.

After all of the studying that I have done on the ZR1 Corvette, I have learned a few things, the car is hand built, it has a carbon fibre front clip, and the best cam last night, as I seen a test drive of the 2009 Zr1 Corvette on the autobahn last night. (more…)

After some more research on the new camaro, which is due to hit the showroom floor in mid 2008, for the 2009 year, I have learned that Chevrolet has done a superior job in the design and construction of this car, form the interior to the retro exterior look of the car.

This car should attract buyers from all realms of the muscle car era, I know for sure that it has impressed me, and I’m not that easy to impress, I used to own a 1969 Z/28 camaro, and I think that the new version has just enough of the 1969 camaro built in to it to be a real player in the muscle car market.

Being as how I’ve been on the step by step tear down articles, and there starting to get just a bit old, I think I’ll just yammer about another subject that is near and dear to my heart, and most other true muscle car people.

This of course is like all of the rest of the steps when building a muscle car, you need to first start by thinking about what it is you want the engine to do, do you want a good reliable every day driver, or a race car, because there is a huge difference between the two engines.

Last week end a couple of friends and I went to the Dodge dealership to see the new Challenger, and it was so much more then we expected, this car could not have been built better, it is absolutely perfect in every way, it could not be any better.

We didn’t even get to drive the car, as it was already sold, it had been ordered early by another fan of the Dodge challenger, so needless to say we’re still waiting for one to come in that isn’t already sold, I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was to see this car on the showroom floor.

There are a number of things that I like about the 2009 camaro, But will it pick up where the first generation camaro left off, or will it build a legacy all it’s own, I think it’s going to be somewhere in between, I don’t see it raising eyebrows like the first generation camaro did.

It has it’s good points, and it’s bad points, I’m going to start with the good points about it, first of all Chevrolet has done a great job in the engine area of the car, using the best of new technology to build horsepower, and keeping it low in the emissions area, the 2009 camaro is a contender in this area.

A force to be reckoned with was the L88 Corvette, it was a dominant force on the drag strip, and in the 24 hours of Daytona road race circuit, if your not a believer in the Corvette, maybe after this post you will be, I know that I am, for years I’ve wanted an L88 Corvette, a little more specific a 1967 L88 Corvette, what a machine, the likes of which as never been seen since the 1960’s, and may never be seen again, I had a Friend that owned a 1968 model L88 Corvette, and awesome did not even begin to describe that car, it was a furious all out powerhouse built to destroy anything in it’s path, and that it did on many occasions.

Noe that I have finished my shining promotion for the 1967 L88 Corvette, it’s time to talk about the car itself, I could write an all-day long article about this particular car, but we’ll stick to the specifics of it, and try to impress up on you the impact of a true American super car, the genius behind this car was of course Zora Arkus-Duntov, a brilliant Russian car designer who had an idea that made him a force to contend with.

I’m waiting for the 2009 camaro to hit the showroom floors, it should be out around June sometime, I’m already hearing reverberations about the gas prices affecting the release of the camaro, but I heard this back in the mid 1970’s also, and usually the people saying these things have no idea what staying power the muscle cars have, I’m hearing such things as, Chevrolet is only going to release it with a V6 option now, and no available V8, I don’t think that this true, but if it is, there is absolutely no point for Chevrolet to waste their time with it, just put the resources in to the corvette, and let the camaro die a hero of the muscle car seen.
