Project Overview
This Hot Wheels Edition Camaro carries all the childhood nostalgia its owner remembered—right down to the polished blower poking through the hood.

From the factory-style manual swap to the 1LE brake system and Cragar wheels, this Camaro captures the look and feel of the Hot Wheels dream car, with the performance to back it up.

Engine, Fuel System & Drivetrain
To deliver the owner’s vision, we installed a polished Kenne Bell supercharger kit for that unmistakable muscle-car look and serious airflow. The build later returned for a fuel system upgrade with a KPM in-tank pump and Fuel Injector Clinic injectors, ensuring reliable fueling under boost. Power is routed through a manual transmission conversion using ZL1 factory parts, including the rear axle for proper integration. Final calibration was performed in-house on our Mainline Hub Dyno.
Wheels, Tires & Brakes
A set of Cragar wheels and new tires complete the authentic Hot Wheels-inspired look. To balance the added power, we installed a 1LE big brake upgrade kit, giving the Camaro confident stopping power to match its performance and style.
