[MOC] 1968 Pro Street/Time Attack Camaro (Speed Champions 8-wide)

[Jonsson]

1968 Pro Street/Time Attack Camaro - A Penske racecar for the new millenium.
I've always loved the late 60s Camaros and have long been wanting to build a racing version in 8-wide Speed Champions scale. 
(Approx 1/26). The Penske racecar have something special about it.
I therefore went with blue to make somekind of homage of the vintage racecar. 
Cred for inspration goes to SP Lineup.

The recipe:
1968 body
Twin turbo LB4 V6 (yes V6 ;), the one from the Syclone) with large air-inlets replacing the fog-lights. Large custom intake manifold. High capacity intercooler.
Separate exhausts for the blow off valves - on each side, just in front of the main exhausts.
Latest spec FIA rollcage (fully build even though it may be hard to see in the pictures.
Two different aero-packages depending on amount of boost and which class to run in. The time-attackversion has a ridicously large rear wing! :D

Hope you like it! :)

Brilliant. It evokes the late 60's Camero vibe, but with an aggressive drag racing look. The engine work is outstanding and a great bonus.
