There's not much Camaro left in Stinky Pinky's Camaro after they stripped it down.
Team Stinky Pinky, saddled with the final vehicle choice, got right to work on their white third-gen Camaro — a car they admit was not in their game-plan. Team leader “Disco” Dean Karns, whose engine combinations are as flashy as his personality, had already planned ahead for the build, procuring and arriving with a roots supercharger to bolt on to his team’s ride.
Early on, they were able to acquire a big-block Chevy to mate to the blower, and also found a screaming deal ($300) on an aftermarket 12-bolt rear with 35-spline axles that the Horsepower Wars officials immediately chose to review, believing the team had bartered a “buddy deal” to procure them at a less-than-market price.
Stinky was behind from the get-go, with a busy racing schedule and perhaps a lack of preparation.
