What's unique or interesting about the car or how did you come to own it? I have owned the Camaro since 2007, spent a year in panel shop re doing body and paint. As always, it is an ongoing build trying to go faster!! Currently the fastest street legal small block in NZ (8.59@164mph), now we have changed to twin turbo and we want to get it in the 7s.
