Took them long enough to get involved in the new era s-s/s racing.

I quess GM felt it was time to give Ford & Mopar a lesson on how it's really done !!!!

It's a concept.....but a cool looking one.

Bunch more info and pics here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=179715

and here: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/sema-...#photo-4572528

About the only view I don't like of this car is straight on from the front. I don't think the cowl looks good from that angle. Everything else appears to be great though.

Shame about the graphics. But I like it, and think it's cool they made it COPO 9562.

Saw this in the cam for the LS7 is 233/276 @ .50-in...Can that be right?

The 5.3 motors' cam is 244/255 which is big but sounds more normal with the split duration.

WildBillyT 11-02-2011 09:53 AM

Yup, it can be. As long as it clears the pistons I guess.

It says it here too so I guess it is right.

Apparently this is a video of it but I can't view youtube at work.

Yeah, it makes much more sense in that context. SS guys run wacky cams to stay within the rules.

I'm sure the graphics are only there since it's a SEMA car. I highly doubt they will bother delivering these to racers with any graphics package if they go ahead and make them.
