Alan, I really don't think the body in white, no VIN # Camaro's will be that heavy.

Being a die hard Mopar fan all my life I was very impressed by the new Mustang's this year at Indy. I believe once Chevy steps up to the plate I'll be impressed with them as well. Time for Ma Mopar to step up to the plate with a blower.

From a GM Body Enginer the new style Camaro body in white is about 350 lbs heavier than the last F-Car, don't forget it was done down under off the Holden/G8 platform.

Jerry, it's been said before, but I'll say it again. Chevrolet is not coming to the game. The program was cancelled 3 years ago, and the people transferred or laid off. It ain't happening. There aren't going to be any "no VIN body in white" Camaros. In fact, the 2012 Camaros are already out, and GM says the replacement (a new platform) is due about 2014. Chevrolet is not coming to the game 3 years late with a car they're going to replace in two years.


Besides, the last thing we need is a third company producing factory race cars to be put in a class full of production street cars.

I think this looks pretty cool to me.

A LS7 has Titanium Rods, Intake valves and Dry sump the rules in stock does Do Not Allow any of these! As the rule state even thought the LS& has been in the NHRA STOCK BLUE PRINTS FOR the last 3 years.

Gm has to lower the HP rating on their best engines for new camaro's to succeed in NHRA drag racing . If they dont the car will not be completive and no one will race it

The fact that GM keeps the HP rating high on their cars is the main reason that I moved to the Mustang Cobra Jet. Ig GM would just put a LS7 427/ 505 detuned to 350hp in a new camaro it could run with the CJ &DP . The car with driver would only weight 2970lbs . The reason guy's like me are switching to Ford & Mopar is that these companies want fast race cars racing NHRA.

As long as GM rates the supercharged LS9 @638 it will not out run the CJ and Ford
