I believed that the LS7 was what was planned for the SS Camaro. I have been told that it has been postponed or even cancelled completely. I guess we will find out eventually. The Camaro line workers were called back to work in early November. Production should be pretty well up to speed by now.

I believe the Z28 was going to get the CTS-V motor 556hp, but the Z28 was cancelled.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

So no thoughts of putting the 427 LS7 into the Nickey Camaro?? How much would it be to order one??

From Page one of this thread:

The LS7 has always been in consideration for the Nickey Super Camaro. It seems that we may also have some other GM options available, such as the Cadillac CTS-V or ZR1 Corvette engines too.

"I'll Provide More Details but this is a summary.

Stage I: Mild Modifications to the Stock LS3

Stage II: Completely reworked LS3, (Stock V8 used in the Camaro).

Stage III: This is a complete new/different LS7 427ci transplant."

More than 1/2 of the Current orders are for Stage III 427 ci LS7 based Nickey Super Camaros.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

I thought the Stage III was going to be (from the 1st page of this thread):


"What we would like to do for the Stage III is a 700hp version of the new Corvette ZR1, LS9 Supercharged engine."

I am not looking for 700hp I would like to have the LS7 with 505hp in a 2010 Camaro. It would be very cool to have a 2010 Nickey Camaro with a 427.....

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

How Streetable will the Phase III be, and I read the 427 will be "Normally Aspirated" ? I take it the Fuel Injection is not capable of feeding that much HP. I just placed my order with Denny for the Blue w/red stripe. I plan on Phase II, but I have an LS7 crate motor just sitting here that I planned for my 58 vette, but what if I gave it to you for a possible Phase III ? Curious on your thoughts.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Things have been in a state of flux but are changing for the positive, on a very regular basis. What we were told would not be available just a few months ago is now scheduled to be available; An Example is the LS9 engine assembly/crate engine.

I know that I would like to have a 427ci LS7 in my own Nickey Camaro.

When I said naturally aspirated, I meant with no forced induction such as a blower or turbo etc.

All the Stages we have been working on are Electronically Fuel injected. The stock Fuel injection system and stock intake manifold need to be upgraded in order to get a streetable 700plus hp with a huge and linear torque curve.

This is one of the reasons Wegner Motor Sports has developed an exclusive Nickey Cam and Tunnel Ram type fuel injection intake.

We are very fortunate to be working with some great components from GM!

Jeff,
Thanks you for your order! You certainly picked a unique color combination.

Having 700hp is one thing but being able to use it is another. I don't want to release the torque figures just yet as they are staggering, to say the least. The power comes on very early and holds strong until redline.

We have both a professional Chassis builder/drag racer. (They have done some work on an OLD ZL1 Camaro dubbed "Its something Else" just to name one) as well as a Professional road racing shop called Team Stradalle, to help with designing the shocks/valving/spring rates etc. and making certain that the Nickey Super Camaro can get around corners safer and faster than the competition.

Also, I spoke with Dennis regarding your other special requests and I believe that we will be able to accommodate you.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Thanks, I will wait til I hear from Dennis on how those requests will work and we'll be in touch.

As Far as my unique color, Dennis and I talked this over on my Hot Rod Camaro, the red centers in the seats, red in the Hot Rod Emblems, red powder coated calipers and red bowtie in the grille, for me the red stripe tied that whole combo together. It was also the ONLY blue with red striped camaro ever built by Berger. I attached a picture of it on the other thread about color choices.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Any word on pricing yet??

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

The nose in the cars you have pictured does not have the SS "Slot", the non-functioning, faux air scoop. Will you be special ordering your cars with the non-SS nose or are these just pre-production pics and the cars will have the "Slot"?

Personally I do not like the looks of the slot.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

We have several options to work with. One includes having a custom front Facia made up. Our Artist is working on putting our ideas on to paper.

The Stinger hoods will be an option so there might be no necessary changes to the front facia on non Stinger hood Nickey Super Camaros?

Right now our Stage III configurations; blower and/or Tunnel Rammed engines may require more clearance than the stock hood can provide.

We will also need a much stronger rear differential set up, in order to properly handle massive amounts of torque and hp, provided by the Stage III Nickey Camaro.

Many questions will be answered once we have an actual Camaro to work with.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

The Stinger Hood really makes the car look like it means business, and I think it adds great character to the car as well.

Will you be building a prototype ??

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

The Stinger hoods may become available in: Aluminum, Composite and/or Carbon Fiber.

My car was slated to be the prototype/Mule, but it depends on what we get and when we get it.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

I know of somebody that will probably want one of those hoods... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif I predict there will be a LOT of people wanting those hoods!

John McBride side view. More to come soon.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Very Nice Stefano. Your design/detail is considerably better than GMs renderings. Very nice!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Stefano,

Lemmee ask a stupid question??? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

WHY in the world didn't GM hire YOU to help with the design?
The yellow Camaro with the 427 hood and front end is epidemy of what the Camaro needed(s). As some members know, I'm partial to yellow and will sell my eye teeth to get this car!

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Jeff,
Thanks for the compliments, but I am not a designer. We have only tried to take some of the key elements which made the Nickey Conversion cars special, back in the day and apply them to a New Generation of Camaros.

John McBride the Artist has been able to execute exactly what our team had in mind.

We are truly blessed to have so many significant contributors who have lent their support, in many different ways, for our project.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

I received news today that 1) My 2010 Camaro Order was pulled out of the order bank, by the plant and 2) that is was placed on restriction, due to the optional Hurst Shifter, I had ordered.

Dennis Barker, eliminated the restricted component and we should have an estimated delivery date, some time very soon.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Poof.....out of the Blue, Dennis Barker was informed that my Camaro is built and was provided the VIN. It is on hold for delivery and we can only speculate as to why??

We are getting closer https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/burnout.gif

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

Dear Sir,

I am pleased to be sending you your VIN # on your new 2010 Camaro 2SS.

Thank you,

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

I saw a GM company car Camaro here on the Easter weekend. VIN was 9100293. Looks like they must have built over 5K Camaros now going by the VINs.

No he is no relation to Ben Wenzel.I would be suprised if Ben has not contacted Todd over the years about possibly sponsoring him with the name recognition.

How much for the stock hood for some wall art? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

You can Email me direct @ [email protected].

As far as the stock hoods are concerned, we had to buy some in order to develop the Stinger Hoods. I believe they cost approx $700.00 or so.

Re: 2010 Nickey Camaro Stage I,II or III
 

ok, I don't want it that bad lol
