Building a Triple Threat: The Ultimate Camaro Project

🚀We're turning a 1973 Camaro into a triple threat car that can dominate on the streets, tracks, and autocross courses.

💪A high-performance custom chassis from Street Rod Garage is the foundation of our build, providing strength and rigidity.

🔥To increase the power, we'll be swapping the stock engine with a high-performance small block that offers a balance of power and weight distribution.

⚙️Upgraded suspension components, including coilovers and a manual quick ratio steering rack, will improve handling and responsiveness.

🛑A larger braking system with 13-inch rotors will provide the stopping power needed for the increased performance of the car.

What is a triple threat car?

—A triple threat car is a vehicle that is designed to excel on the streets, tracks, and autocross courses. It combines performance, handling, and versatility.

Why did you choose a small block engine instead of a big block?

—We opted for a small block engine to maintain a better balance in the car. A big block engine would have added more weight to the front, affecting the car's handling.

What benefits does a custom chassis provide?

—A custom chassis, like the one from Street Rod Garage, offers improved strength, rigidity, and adjustability, allowing for better performance and handling.

What upgrades are you making to the suspension?

—We'll be installing coilovers and a manual quick ratio steering rack to enhance the car's handling, responsiveness, and ability to navigate tight turns on autocross courses.

Why are you upgrading the braking system?

—With the increased power and performance of the car, a larger braking system with 13-inch rotors is necessary to provide the stopping power required for aggressive driving.
