But can it pull a trailer?

Yes, that's one approach to a fast fun car, and likely a good investment. However, there are lower cost alternatives. Supercharging with either a Callaway package, or by installing your own Eaton supercharger will get you in this horsepower range with the stock engine, and at lower cost. I would prefer to start with a Corvette than a Camero.

If it works, this will be this generations Yenko or Baldwin-Motion for sure. I would be suprised if in 30 years these cars will be fetching something in the 6-figure range, easy. That is of course....if it works....

I've driven past Redline many many times. Cant say the appearance of the building, or the P.O.S. cars typically in thier lot have given me any encouragement to stop in and see what they can do with one of my "babies". For me, warrentee or not, I just dont want to have to worry about the potential headache if things go wrong and that place goes belly up.

You could not give me a Craparo.

Warranties are only as good as they are written and the company backing them up.

The increase in HP has two issues:

1. When you have it, you tend to use it and most don't know the difference between use and abuse.

2. Unless the rest of the drive train is over-designed (not likely these days) you are possibly pushing or exceeding the design limits and it is difficult to distinguish between failures from this or abuse for warranty purposes.

Good rule (especially if you are going to race it) is to upgrade working backwards from the wheels (not starting with the engine).

Best/ most accurate automotive comment I've read in years!

You say you're based in Maryland?

I have seen these cars in in person and they are the real deal. Brings me back to the 60's.

I have lived in the area a long time and DeNooyer Chevrolet has been a dealer in this area for I think over 30 plus years. I think they are solid for sure.

Although I have never met him personally I have heard alot of good things about the guy that is running the peformance divison. He races cars local and many people say he is really easy to talk with and is passionate about the cars he represents.

I have been by redline performance as well and I think the guy that made the comment about the facility needs to have his eyes checked. It is right next to their other glass business and it is a very nice facility. They always have crazy corvette's and camaro's out front that I assume they are building for customers. maybe the guy with the earlier post drives a honda.

Anyone can slap on modified parts. but we know what you get 0 warranty. their 3yr warranty is definately attractive. 600 plus HP daily driver for a decent price with a warranty. I like that.

I can say one thing. I personally would rather buy a modified car from a Chevrolet dealer. I think it is great that a business in my home town is trying to bring back the old days of baldwin and yenko. It is about time a dealer got in the game and I wish them a ton of luck..A++ for starting this venture.
