coty061885 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/camaro-gs-racecar-concept By far the coolest iteration of the new Camaro yet. It will actually be available for competition in the Koni Challenge Series GS class next year, hence the GS name. Start saving some money and you too can be re-living the glory days of Trans Am haha.

2 Sweet Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Holy FUCK thats sweet. I'm not a huge fan of the new Camaros but this is tits. GM Performance Division always makes a badass racing Camaro like this, with the same #6 and color scheme and everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 BTW, what is the Koni Challenge series, is that basically like the SCCA Trans Am series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcan900 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 That looks great. The maize and blue is in tribute to the Mark Donohue car that dominated the Trans-Am series in the late 60s. Atleast that would be my first guess from seeing it. I thought his car was numbered 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coty061885 Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Nope, #6 is accurate. The Koni Challenge series is the lesser series to the Grand American Rolex Series. It has two classes, GS and ST, with GS being cars like Camaro's, Mustang's, M3's and 911's. ST is tuner cars like the GTI (woo!), Miata's, Honda's, etc. Yet another excellent racing series with low popularity and even lower coverage.

ImUrOBGYN Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Whoever got paid money to implement the chrome trim around the tails needs thrown off a tall building. Agreed. Rice. Just like the halos. Car looks pretty sweet. I actually like the halos, don't like the chrome as Brian said. And for some reason, the lower valance grill... I dunno. Just seems like it could be something better looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbotrio Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I didn't see it mentioned but do they say what they got the weight down to at all? With the V8 models being damn-close to 4000Lb's trimming 500+ Lbs somehow would do wonders for handling/performance. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff I'd imagine if it really is a "race prep" car they should have easily been able to remove near 1000lbs considering all that goes into a car today. Heavy stock seats, air bags, stereo/interior bits, emissions maybe and a/c stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
