R U Faster Than A Redneck ?
Mar 01 2013 09:17 AM | Jeremy@SSP in In the Media
Make sure and check out the Speed Channel this Monday at 9 pm to the SSP GT-R go heads up against the Redneck Mafia for $10,000 !


The car he’s driving – a Year One built, 600-horsepower 1969 DynaCorn Camaro – is reminiscent of Trans Am racing’s glory days. It’s an overflow of performance, as Schneider tries to harness the car’s LS-7 crate engine, custom competition camshaft, GMPP dry-sump oiling system, fabricated headers, Tremac five-speed transmission and its Quadralink, four-link race suspension. It’s a car built for competitive road racing.

Jeremy, we'd love to see you come back to CMP with your AWD working for the Detroit Speed Southern Slam on April 20 & 21st . The Southern Slam isn't wheel to wheel racing, but it is timed and many of the rednecks will be running in it, so you'll be able to figure out if you could've lapped them (everyone else is welcome to run as well).
The Southern Slam is also a qualifying event for the 2013 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational. We don't offer $10,000 to the winner, like the Redneck show, but if you get invited to compete in the OUSCI, your car will be on display at SEMA all week and our event is filmed for TV. We also give away some pretty nice swag to the competitors. It is an event for street cars only, so we do have a 200 treadwear minimum as well, but most of those guys aren't running ABS, so an AWD GTR should still have quite an advantage and the two that have run the past two years have done quite well.

Ahhh then it must've been the editing they did, and I wouldn't really consider beating a GTR in autox that big of a deal haha

It was funny at the end when the Red Neck guy brought out your $10,000 winnings inside 30 Glasses of Jams for you to take home.

GJ Jeremy! Would they not let you run real power out there? 500hp is like, factory :(
Watching this show fills me with so much rage, it makes me want to bring my cars out and spank them hard.
Hell, I'd love to spank them in my tow truck, even if it is by default since I smoked out the race track with diesel smoke :D
Also your car sounds really good and looks pretty hot too

Thanks bud. They didn't care how much power the car made per say, it's just what I run it at. And to be perfectly honest with you I didn't have the 498 rwhp/505 rwtq 18 psi map loaded on the car. The car was probably making around 450 rwhp ( mustang dyno ) on the 14 psi map I ended up running on. I don't want to build the motor unless I have to, and I've always had it tuned on the conservative side.
