The Raybestos® 1971 Chevrolet Camaro RS “G-Machine” featuring the Element3™ brake pads with Enhanced Hybrid Technology™ (EHT) is going on tour before heading to the Virginia home of grand prize winner Brian Williams.
The Raybestos Camaro RS was awarded to Williams during the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) in Las Vegas and will be delivered to him in Lynchburg, Va. Before reaching its final destination, the one-of-a-kind vehicle will travel coast to coast and back again, following a route that starts in Woodstock, Ill., heads to Washington, D.C., onto Vancouver, B.C. and ends back in Virginia.
Jeff Schwartz directed construction of the custom car build project at his Schwartz Performance shop in Woodstock, Ill. The Raybestos Camaro features a 700-plus horsepower Schwartz-modified, GM LS3 V8 engine with SLP supercharger, mated to a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and severe-duty Moser nine-inch rear axle.
Schwartz Performance is well-known for its “G-Machine” chassis that incorporates modern geometry, materials, suspension components and braking technology into bolt-in full-frame designs. The Schwartz team installed a performance disc brake package featuring Raybestos brake components, including innovative Element3 hybrid brake pads that are engineered to ensure optimal performance, improve pad wear and durability, and deliver unsurpassed stopping power and vehicle control, even under the most aggressive braking conditions.
