By now most of you have seen this Nova, aka ResurreXion, which was built by the guys over at Speed Tech. We ran across this photo of the car on AutoMeter’s Facebook page and decided it was worth a second look. This is one of those cars that has so many cool features and yet is super polarizing as well. The diehards get mad at the fact that it has ’69 Camaro park lamps, tail lights and rear bumper. I’m a Camaro guy and think they look cool. I would freak if they stuck the Nova parts on a Camaro, but the other way is okay I guess.
It’s got the venerable all aluminum 500hp LS under the hood, a T56 backing it up and handling suspension of course. Along with all the previously mentioned little goodies.
It’s cool in our book, and as teenagers we would have had this as a poster on our wall.
What do you think? Good? Bad? What would you change?
The name on the title, to mine.
I would ruin it by taking off the rubber band tires and wheels and putting on MT skinnies up front and 14×32 MT ET Streets out back with Weld Magnum Pros and beadlocks.
Yes, yes you would ruin it.
Change up the wheels, or at least paint the rivets. Ditch the decals.
That car is Speedtech’s test car and is super competitive in the pro-touring world. I’ve seen it in person and it’s way bad, inside and out. I wouldn’t change a thing.
N2O Hemi- Sounds like a great plan, if you still live in 1988.
Thanks jaynova for the diss.
Not my bag really but that sure is a sharp car. I would look at a wheel and tire change, those arent really doing for me but look alright on this car. the decals would go away I would have shaved the door handles as well but thats just me….
I found more photos of it here- http://www.speedtechperformance.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=227/category_id=110/home_id=110/mode=prod/prd227.htm
I’ve seen a bunch of youtube videos of the car on the track too. Just search speedtech Nova
BTW I’m not the same Jay in those videos, I wish I had his sic mad driving skills!
A little bias as this is a relatives car and I think they did a hell of a job. believe it’s the last project prior to a move from Canada to Utah
our loss is USA gain for some excellent car and suspension guru’s
