| You can see the stainless exhaust and the fuel cell mounting in this view. Believe it or not the car runs the stock final drive ratio and helical limited slip differential. A clutch type diff is planed for next year. |
 |
| The carbon fiber drive shaft is both lightweight and strong. The carbon fiber absorbs shocks and cushions the drivetrain to reduce breakage. |
The engine is set into the unibody with PFADT solid engine mounts and breathes through Stainless Works headers coupled to a Blu 808 stainless exhaust system. An AEM Series 2 ECM tuned by Mitch Peterson is used for engine management with a Jordan Innovations wiring harness. Jordan built the wire harness using an AEM universal wire harness kit and pin and plug kit for the EMS. A 5 bar AEM map sensor was also used. The air fuel ratio is monitored by twin, one for each bank AEM UEGO FR gages.
An Aeromotive high volume fuel system is used. A Fluidyne radiator with an integral oil heat exchanger keeps the engine’s temps in check. Since drift cars run at angle and have somewhat poor radiator flow, dual SPAL fans keep a high volume of air circulating. An Exedy Carbon Clutch and a PST carbon driveshaft take the LSA power to the ground. A superlight Braille Lithium Ion battery keeps the Camaro powered.

| The interior has Sparco seats and harnesses. |
 |
| A safecraft fire system helps keep things safe! |
 |
| A Braille lithium ion battery provides plenty of power and saves about 30 lbs of weight. |
 |
| Seibon supplied the dry carbon lightweight bodywork including this hood. |
The interior of the drift Camaro features two Sparco racing seats and a Sparco steering wheel. Sparco six point harnesses are used for safety. An AIM electronic dash is set into an Xtreme Motorsports lightweight carbon dash. The car’s lightweight bodywork and aero kit are made of strong dry carbon by Seibon. The strength is important in the rough and tumble world of drifting.

| The intake takes cold air from the front bumper. |
Compared to some of the other exotic cars in professional drifting, Conrad’s car is actually pretty mild and his build could easily be recreated by someone. It is more like a hot street car with a gutted interior and race prep. A car like this is truly in the spirit of what drifting is all about. Look for Conrad to return to the Formula D circuit in 2011 with more development to do some damage in the top 32. You know we will!
