Other than the six inch cowl induction hood, the wheelie bars, and the 33 inch Mickey Thompsons, the Camaro looks bone stock. As well it should-the car has just 39,652 miles on the clock, and is all factory steel. The front end, doors, and glass have never been removed, and the paint is genuine GM-issue. According to Ed, the Camaro was a race car from the day it left the local dealer's lot 35 years ago, and had just two owners before he acquired it in 1992.

They set up the Camaro with a 2 x 3 inch tube backhalf and a four-link/Koni coilover suspension, fabbed a 10-point roll cage, and made room for those big Mickey-T ET Streets. The front suspension is basically Koni shocks and a pair of Moroso Trick Front Springs for better weight transfer. Strange disc brakes sit on each corner, as do Weld Aluma-Star wheels. They're not suspension-related, but the Holts also built the 21⁄4-23/8-21⁄2 inch step headers and 41⁄2 inch dual exhaust system.

Slide 3

Other than a row of Auto Meter gauges, a Hurst shifter, and the Simpson belts, you'd swear the Camaro's interior was as factory-original as the body. The rear seat was removed to make room for the wheel tubs, and the front buckets were lightened to reduce weight. Ed's mom Patty did a great job stitching the upholstery in the factory gold vinyl and nylon.

The engine is based on a Donovan 500 block with a 4.75 in. stroke crank, 6.800 aluminum rods, and 14.5:1 compression forged pistons. A .833 in. lift roller cam spins the valvetrain in a pair of fully ported Big Chief heads. The intake is home to a pair of 1,320 cfm Dominator carbs and a 350 HP dose of nitrous from a single stage NOS Fogger system. A Powerglide with a TCI valve body and 4,200 rpm stall converter move the 632's 1,140 HP and 960 foot-lbs of torque to the 4.11-geared rear axle.

That's Ed Parker on the right, holding the United States Fastest Street Car Shootout championship belt and shaking hands with runner-up Gary Box. Ed qualified Number One with an 8.187/165.88 pass, and ran an 8.076/170.00 in the final to defeat Box. The rivals' roles were just the reverse in 2001 when Gary defeated Ed in the Ohio's Fastest Street Car Shootout at Norwalk Raceway Park.
