If you found one of these race cars today how would your restore it?

Love The Tin Soldier, and I think it's a great idea to de-tune it enough to drive to shows and cruises. So many more people would get to see an amazing Camaro.

With todays stroker assemblies you can pull out compression add cubes and end up with the same HP and more torque and drivability actually drive them and enjoy them . Outwardly they are exactly the same stock look they had and the same performance without the worry of having to grab race gas all the time .

The down side is nothing makes that kind of sound unless you have some ungodly compression which a detuned engine will not have (correct me if I am wrong here). I just love that sound.

----That's what everyone always said about Red Alert once my second rebuild went back in the car, Rick. 14 to 1 compression just makes a great sound!.....Bill S

I don’t agree with that at all. I have a RAV pro stock engine 13.6 to 1 compression and a D port low compression 9.0 to 1 turbo engine in my other car. They sound exactly the same. You’d never be able to tell me which was which. My turbo engine even when not I. Boost sounds angry and nasty! Just like my RAV engine .

Kind of hard to hear it the sound quality sucks in this old video
