Lingenfelter-LS7-V8 in the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Restomod!

Our Tuning Wikipedia taught us the so-called Pro touring cars in principle too Restomods are - so old vehicles with modern technology - the focus of a Pro-Touring car is much more on the subject Performance than on the Show and shine Effect lies. A pro touring car combines the classic style of that time with state-of-the-art hardware and General Motors Engineering Manager Mark Stielow is considered the forefather of the tuning trend and is still perfecting his conversions. And a vehicle that Stielow would definitely like this one 1968 Chevrolet Camaro with mighty Lingenfelter LS7 V8-Small block under the hood. The potent one Crate Engine V8 comes directly from the Lingenfelter Performance Center in Wixom / Michigan (USA) and of course it was assembled by hand. 

Pro Touring Chevrolet Camaro

The 7,0 liter V8 came from General Motors ex works in the Corvette Z06, the Camaro Z / 28 and the rare HSV W427 based on the Holden VE Commodore for use. With it, Holden Special Vehicles celebrated its 20th anniversary. Yes, back to the Chevy.

The engine was from Lingenfelter Performance Engineering 660 PS and 793 Nm torque tuned and enjoys, for example, a Wet sump, Stainless steel manifolds and of course is also a matching one Transmission on board. And a Tremec T-56 Magnum six-speed manual transmission with one hydraulic clutch kit. In the direction of the road, the Camaro transfers the enormous power by means of locking differentialto 12-hole axle And of course the beefy tires also contribute to this. Are specially built in front 235/40 17 inch slippers from Pirelli and there were even huge ones at the back 315/35 rollers also in 17 inch format. From Nitto, however.

Billet Specialties chrome rims

By the way, the tires were pulled up Billet Specialties chrome rims And of course, behind the wheel set there is also a befitting one Wilwood sports braking system. And one with perforated and slotted brake discs. And the landing gear? Among other things, this consists of one Martz chassis front suspension and one specially made Martz four-link rear axle together. The chassis can of course be individually adjusted in countless variants. The completely restored and from unnecessary ornamentation freed body is in the beautiful GM Arrival Blue lacquered and enjoys small details such as retractable ones Door handles or a minimalist one front lip. Components like that are befitting for a restomod Headlights or even the tail lights of course with the latest technology such as LED daytime running lights equipped.

And inside, too, everything was turned inside out. Most important details are one Vintage Air climate control, Dakota Digital VHX instruments, Bluetooth connectivity, new speakers, power windows and sporty TMI bucket seats.
