This car will be a coilover set up front and rear, but live axle, Nascar nine inch type grand national floater with detroit locker rear end. Penske shocks, 3 link rear suspension with a Watts link set up. Nascar cup brakes, and Penske shocks. Jerico road race four speed with Quartermaster triple disc clutch. Sweet rack and pinion steering.
about 2400# without driver.
With 550 plus HP and with brakes made to stop a 3400 # Cup car, the Go & Whoa should be top shelf.

I will make sure the wheel studs are a brand that you carry. I want your parts business to be sucessful.
That is my ride for next year! It is going to be a long winter waiting to try it out.
I hope things are going well for you in NC!

My Bemco car used the square tube design, and the low front frame rail rather than the Trans Am 2 type kick up style that Mike's will get. For all practical purposes, they will be very similar. The 9" Ford Nascar rear ends and the Jerico tranny's can handle up to 900 HP. With an all forged LS3, Mike's car should be pretty bullet proof.
Mike's car is getting the World Challenge look, while mine was built to Rolex rules and has the stock C6 look. Mike's should have an additional 80 HP or so over mine, plus more downforce. Mine is very quick......his should be BAD.

This is another Bemco car that recently got completed. This photo was taken about a month ago.
The car was built for a South Florida racer. It is a Howe TA2 chassis and body but with an all forged LS3 making about 550 HP and 500 # torque. Also uses the Jerico 4 speed and the nine inch Ford rear end. This one weighed 2517 without driver.
Has Motec data, PFC brakes, Penske 8100 shocks. A really nice piece.
The owner had this built to replace his Viper ACRX.

Thanks guys. I will need a driver mod to live up to the car's potential.
You guys are the fastest TT1 drivers in the NASA central region so I was forced to upgrade the car to keep up with you.

That was until John Boos made his race car TT1 legal. He is about 4.5 seconds faster than me at MAM

In 2005 Bemco built Squeak Kennedy and I, the Monte Carlo pictured below. Always a fast car, it won a bunch of races in this configuration.
A couple years ago Woody converted it to a Camaro and it is now even faster. Powered by a 550 HP carbureted LS6.
The second pic is how she looks today. (pink ain't my thing) I sold my 1/2 to the Kennedy's a while back. The car is now driven by 19 yo Bobby Kennedy, one of the most talented young guys I have seen.

Bosco,
How significant were the changes to the chassis when switching from the Monte Carlo to the Camaro body?? We have been thinking about doing just that. Thanks.........
