I don't know, I saw some Baer Claws in another picture. Can't believe they're not power. Where did you see that it had manual brakes?

Ummm...the fact that the master cylinder is bolted straight to the firewall kinda gives it away....there's no power booster or hydro-booster in sight

Since when do you need to have a brake booster to make a car's brakes work? This car WILL stop on a dime, I guarantee it. The amount of effort needed to press the pedal is the only thing a brake booster will change, it has nothing to do with the stopping capability of a brake system.

It's very very clean looking. Almost a little TOO clean.

Anyone see the Camaro in one of the last few issues of HOT ROD? It's more or less a NASCAR with a 69 Camaro body on it. Something like 750hp NA out of a dry-sump small block, Lenco tranny, WIDE tires with custom built fender flares. Looked like semi-gloss black paint. It was build for road course work, and totally looked the part.
