It was a busy weekend August 25-27. Locally, several members visited the Landmark of Fridley Car Show--Cruise-In. This is their 2nd Annual car show. Member Bill T.'s dad is a resident there. It was great to see all the smiles on the residents faces. They treated us to grilled food and live music.
On a second note for the weekend, we had a few of our members drive to the Wisconsin Camaro Rally in Elkhart Lake--Brent, Dodi, Anthony, Angelique (brother Chris and nephew Gregory met her out there as her pit crew), Jason and Angie. Angelique, with her BlueBee, brought home 2 trophies. 1st Place 6th Gen and Judges Choice!!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for our Summer Banquet Boat Cruise on Sunday, August 20th. About 100 Club members enjoyed a cruise down the St. Croix on the Andiamo. Our time was spent visiting, enjoying a buffet lunch, and prizes for everyone. Thanks for coming! Until next year...
We had record attendance with 104 vehicles at our Certifit Summer Classic Car Show on Saturday, August 5th. It was our final Club Car Show for this season. Thanks to all members who assisted in making this car show so successful! We look forward to surpassing this attendance next August.

Road Rage Chevy Camaro By Roadster Shop Goes Wide With A 454: Video
By Jonathan Lopez August 20, 2023
Finding the right balance between form and function can be very difficult, but this custom Chevy Camaro manages to do it beautifully. Dubbed Road Rage, this second-gen Camaro was built by the folks at the Roadster Shop in Illinois, best known for their aftermarket chassis products and restomod builds. This particular build takes inspiration from European sports cars, finding an excellent balance between American muscle goodness and the refined, easy drivability of a GT, all of which is wrapped up in a custom widebody package that’ll drop jaws wherever it might go. Now, this thing is on display in the following extended feature video.
Clocking in at more than 33-and-a-half minutes, the video provides extensive details on the vehicle’s styling, powertrain, and interior, all culminating in a firsthand driving experience on the street.

1969 Chevy Camaro Restmod With 850 HP Is The Ultimate Tire Shredder
By Jacob Oliva August 19, 2023
Classic beauty meets modern beast.
We've seen tons of restomods over the years, and this one from Famous Whips - an automotive dealership selling tuned and modified cars in California - is one of the cleanest.
At first glance, the classic Chevy Camaro looks as stunning as most vintage muscle cars, but it hides a more modern secret.
Steve, the owner of Famous Whips, also owns this Camaro. He shared insights about the build, explaining that the car initially featured a 400-horsepower LS1 V8 engine. However, his appetite for power wasn't satisfied, so he installed a custom-built 427-cubic-inch LS3 engine, hence the "SS 427" badge up front.

2025 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Will Be the Last of a Legendary Line
By K.C. Colwell May 8, 2023
This final internal-combustion Camaro will amply honor its track-focused predecessors when it appears in the fall of 2024—if Chevy doesn't pull the plug first, of course.
What It Is
The last Camaro before Chevy replaces it with an EV. This track-focused version is the spiritual successor to the fifth-generation Z/28.
Why It Matters
Among never-ending bar arguments over cars, none is more heated than Camaro versus Mustang. It's as American a rivalry as Ohio State versus Michigan, Cowboys versus Eagles, or "Tastes great!" versus "Less filling!" After this Camaro, though, the debate may...
