Chevrolet Performance Camaro Drag Program

GUMP · 11-19-2018, 11:24 AM

As there has been a lot of conversation about the new cars this week I have decided to share my current project here.

I am sure that some of you are aware that Chevrolet Performance has released a drag race package for the Gen 6 Camaro. This link is to my build thread. Hopefully it will prove entertaining and add insight into these very cool cars and their potential.

Good stuff Daren! I look forward to the finished product, if there is such a thing with you! I know you like to keep adding to them. ��

Good luck with your project.

No class in particular. The goal is to put together a reliable street/strip car that most anyone can duplicate. These parts will be in the latest catalog. Chevrolet really wants to see more of these cars running at the dragstrip.

Thanks. I have done several of these "how-to" builds on different forums. They are fun to do. Kind of a crossover from what we do.

So what your saying is there's a manufacturer out there that actually wants to support racing and racers?

Cool build.

Cool build.
It's always good to see more late model performance machines at the track.
Great quality pics.

Dodge also has a factory built drag race inspired new car coming out ( or is already out)....the "1320" Challenger

Now....if only Ford built a drag race themed Mustang GT without all the added weight of heated seats, 20 speakers, and other non essentials....

They used to have it, order an LX with no options, they pulled the plug because everyone figured out you could buy a lighter faster Mustang for a whole lot less money than a GT. I bought one in '87 for $11,008 delivered, a GT was more in the $20K range.
