The Camaro looks great with a lowered race-suspension.

That body, sub track 400 pounds, add 475BHP gen V LS3 and you have a proper Z28 Camaro.

SpeedTV. Just need to check the schedule. It's usually shown in time delay. Here's the schedule: http://www.grand-am.com/schedule/ind...es=k&cat_id=61

Re: Camaro: KONI Challenge Race Car

why cant nascar make the cars look like this, and leave it to the car makers to come up with a design and if there cars can compete then dont give them a inch here or there make the car maker change what it makes to make the teams happy or get out of racing

Re: Camaro: KONI Challenge Race Car

Those high res shots make the Camaro look incredibly bad ass and sinister!

Re: Camaro: LMP Challenge Race Car

LMP Challenge, an exciting new class, was introduced earlier this year as part of the Le Mans Series in Europe and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans through the collaborative efforts between the ACO and ORECA/DPPI. In Europe, the ORECA Courage FLM09 that comprises the class has a minimum weight of 900 kilograms similar to its LMP brethren, but its horsepower is 450 hp which is considerably less than the LMP cars which range from 500-700 hp. The LMP Challenge car is a true Le Mans prototype, but represents an affordable “value engineered” entry to Le Mans prototype racing. The FLM09 is a very sophisticated race car with a full carbon fiber chassis, carbon brakes, and an Xtrac sequential gearbox with paddle shifting. All LMPC cars will race on single-supply tires.
