Trick Flow Specialties 11 Second 1998 Chevy Camaro Project Car - 11s For 14 - Speed Parts Testing

Going quick and doing it cheaply is a time-honored rodder's mantra, and Trick Flow Specialties' '98 Camaro Z28 proves the concept is still valid. You can drive it to the track, run 11-second e.t.'s all day, and get 25 miles per gallon on the way home with the A/C on Arctic and the power seat set to full Detroit Lean.Going quick and doing it cheaply is a time-honored rodder's mantra, and Trick Flow Specialties' '98 Camaro Z28 proves the concept is still valid. You can drive it to the track, run 11-second e.t.'s all day, and get 25 miles per gallon on the way home with the A/C on Arctic and the power seat set to full Detroit Lean. And that's with no blower, no nitrous, nothin' but motor. Total cost for the Stage One version: a smidgen less than $14,000, and that includes the purchase price of the car. Stages Two and Three got more serious and far more expensive in a quest to go faster, but you don't have to do that if it's too much.

What a complete waste of an article. They spent 3 times too much for half the results. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that the TFS product was crap, solely based upon their subpar results.

11.8 @ 114 is a joke, even on a regular street tire. You don't need a $1000 FAST intake and $3000 aftermarket heads for that. Bolt-ons, small cam, and a converter will get you there. Including cost of an average LS1 car, those mods would put you well under $10K.

They bought the car for $6000, and put over $8000 into it, for a high 11 second pass with a weak trap speed.

Yeah I wasn't too impressed with that either. I thought it was cool they did the article, but when I got to the end of it and saw what they spent, I was a little dissapointed.

I mean you couldn't buy a new car that quick for anywhere near that price, but still.

Ok,I see your point,maybe I can find a nice Z28 for 6k with a six-speed.

And fucked the tune up (or payed too much for a junker) so it went pop

Yeah, the thing had 150k on it IIRC. I thought that was pretty high mileage to start with. Plenty of these left with under 100k I'd think. Mine's a DD and I'm still under 100k.
