2010 Camaro GS Racecar Concept At SEMA
Man, doesn’t this bring back memories for me.
When I was a kid, a Trans-Am Camaro, painted in Sunoco blue and campaigned by Roger Penske and driven by the great Mark Donohue swept all the competition before it. That car was as much a racing icon as a silver Mercedes or an Italian racing red Ferrari.
This current iteration is a SEMA show car that is a working prototype for the Grand Am Koni Challenge GS racing class. It’s powered by a LS3 V8 engine, features solid engine mounts and is hooked up to a Tremec 6060 six-speed manual transmission with close-ratio gearing. It also has a lightweight carbon fiber hood, trunk lid, doors and fenders, a C&R racing aluminum radiator and the three-inch exhaust system with Coast Fab mufflers.
In the words of Ron Fellows sa-WEET!
I’m not really one for modern American cars, but if they were to make a street version of this, I might be tempted.
More great shots after the jump.
Where can I buy a poster and/or a scale model/model kit of this car?
Thank you.
