Talking Finally bought my Panel SS.

Five speed manual transmission (I would have preferred an Automatic)

372 horsepower 352 ft.lbs. torque (this car is beyond fast).

Title says it only weighs 2700 lbs.

Engine drive train (done by ZZ Performance in Wyoming, MI):
s256 turbocharger –
Stage 1 camshafts, with large fuel pump lobe and 82# valve springs –
Stage 4 clutch by South Bend
ZZP Intercooler, air intake, blow-off valve and charge pipes
ZZP stainless exhaust manifold, catted down pipe and 3" exhaust.
Eibach anti-sway bars and springs front and rear
Wilwood brakes with slotted and drilled rotors
TWM short throw shifter
SRP Aluminum racing pedals
Reconfigurable Performance Display

(Yes this was Steve Dumaine's (Tubameat) Panel SS.








I am now really Car Poor! and a little nuts

PS. I had to give my wife the keys to my SS, Black Beauty, in order to get permission to buy the Blue Beast.

Picked it up down by your neck of the woods in Wyoming, Michigan. Drove it 5 hours to Rogers City and it was a blast. Three inch stainless steel exhaust manifold through the "see through" muffler. It sounds very sweet outside but a slight drone in the ****pit. I'll add a resonator to quiet it down. It will be garaged in winter, not very good in snow.
