Ride onboard with SCCA Solo II Champion Danny Popp as he takes us around the autocross at the Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational at Michigan International Speedway.
Danny holds class records at various tracks across the country and has captured more championships than most mantles are equipped to handle. He also managed to make wrangling this 680+ horsepower fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro around the course look like child’s play.
Modifications to the Camaro are as follows:
Lingenfelter 427ci Crate Engine
Tremec 6060 transmission with ZR1 gear ratios
Quartermaster dual disc 7.5” clutch
Lingenfelter 9.5” rear axle, 4.10 ratio
BeCool radiator
Ridetech Stage 3 Suspension upgrade, including triple adjustable coil-over shocks
Baer 6 piston brakes, with 14” rotors on all 4 corners
Akzo Nobel custom mix blue paint, with inlaid white stripes
Sparco racing seats
Sparco racing harnesses
Six-point roll bar
Let’s see what it’s like from the cockpit:
