1983 Chevrolet Camaro Dragster "Overall Connection"
VIN. 1G1AP87H7DN164311

Starting with a 1983 Camaro Coupe, little about this machine has remained stock. Under the hood—or at least the part that can manage to cover the engine—is a 350ci OHV V8 from a Corvette that has been topped with a massive 6-71 roots-type blower fed by two towering dual 4-barrel Holly carburetors. The coolant system, fuel pump, injection, and ignition systems have all been uprated and steel braided lines have replaced most of the rubber hoses. And just in case that isn't extra enough, a 16-port nitrous oxide injection system is installed for extra boost, literally. Everything breaths through massive straight sidepipes. Outside, the rear end has been fitted with C4 corvette bodywork and a massive spoiler. Most impressive is the impossible to miss custom paintjob that was said to have cost more than a new Corvette when it was completed. Named "Overall Connection", you can practice your response to the Christmas tree by raising your paddle rapidly.
