L T/A on the Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour

[lpestaff]

We've built another L T/A! This one's based on a Victory Red 2010 Camaro and we sprayed the new components to match the original paint. The interior is updated from the original black with gen-u-ine vinyl and we've fitted 20" Rally wheels.

Stopped to ice-down an overheated fuel pump supplying the gas to feed this LS9 supercharged / LSX 850hp 1972 Chevelle. T/A ran problem-free.

The T/A now has a total of 2500 miles on it. The trip computer hasn't been reset since new. Photos speak for themselves- 20+ MPG over the full life of the car, including development, city, highway and occasional "demonstrations of speed" - only within legal, safe limits ;)
