Hey guys. Had a opportunity to polish up my buddies 800hp Camaro.

Little background on the car.

427 LSX block, Mast heads, Whipple supercharger, Direct port nitrous, Stand alone fuel system, stereo, suspension. 800hp on the blower and then another 200-300 worth of nitrous!!!!

The Camaro was in need of some love from being in and out of the shop over the past year or so. It had over spray all over it including the wheels. Once I got the car prepped and the overspray removed it wasn't too bad underneath. And seeing that 80% of the car has been repaint/re-cleared and has softer than factory clear a nice one step with a wax was perfect.

Washed with Mothers car wash soap
Wheels cleaned with Dawn/apc (didn't want to risk damage to wheels)
Overspray removed with Meguiars clay and ONR as a lube
Flex 3401 with SF4000 using black and white CCS pads
paint was topped with Pinnacle Synergy
Wheels sealed with Hydro2. Tires dressed with Pinnacle Black Onyx tire gel.

Interior was vac'd. Plastics dressed with Pinnacle vinyl dressing, leather treated with Pinnacle leather conditioner.

Didn't get any before pics. So here are a couple finished shots. Was a little cloudy out so the metallic doesn't show but in the sun it just pops right out!









 
looks great Justin. man that's not only a beast, it's a bellowing beast.

That is more true than you know. The sound quality in the stereo is amazing!!! Sounds like your front row at a concert with no distortion. Simply amazing work by the shop that built this car(Extreme Performance).
 
Beautiful ride and fantastic work!! I'm pretty sure I would lose the system but hey, he wants to hear his music over the car I guess.
 
Great work Justin. What a monster !!!!

Thank you!

Normally I would agree but this is a all around type car. He shows it/drives it on the street a lot. It hasn't seen the track yet due to complications but should be hitting the track over the fall/winter. Just a plain monster. And the sound from the exhaust is just plain awesome!:rockon
 
Here's the build from the ExtremePerformance page:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150454289052703.354096.321132347702&type=3

If Jeremy Carlson (national Installer of the Year multiple times) had anything to do with it, I bet it sounds amazing.

It is truly a work of art. I am sure some my not like the in your face paint but the time/money spent is unreal. And the quality of the install. Just an overall in your face bad--- machine!!!
