JUST WANTED TO GET ANY THOUGHTS ON IF GM WILL MAKE A PRUE RACE VERSON OF THE NEW CAMARO. LIKE THE CHALLENGER RACE CAR AND NOW FORD HAS THE NEW RACE ONLY COBRA JET. I THINK DON GARLITS GOT ONE OF THE FIRST NEW CHALLENGERS AND JOHN FORCE GOT ONE OF THE COBRA JETS WE ALL SAW IT ON B & J LAST NIGHT AND I HAVE THE NEW CHALLENGER IN SOME OF THE MUSCLE CAR MAGS. IT WOULD BE SWEET IF GM MADE A RACE ONLY COPO WITH THE LS9 MOTOR. AND COMMENTS ANY ONE

Firstly, hit your "caps lock" button...

Secondly, there are rumors are a 'body in white' Camaro coming in the near future, but I doubt a rolling S/S version of the Camaro (ala Mustang & Challenger) happens...as a matter of fact, last I knew the certainty of a new Camaro itself was still up in the air due to the economy as well as an issue with lack of interior pieces (supplier declared bankruptcy)...

At SEMA GM showed a Camaro 2010 with LS7 engine. It was part of a GMPP package that included a driveshaft loop, headers and some more stuff. The meaning of this package was to get a dragracer out of the new Camaro.

There haven't been any pure S/S Camaros like the Challenger but I wouldn't be surprised if one showed up soon.

The body in white will be just that, an empty body shell, it is even without a VIN. The intentions for the body in white is for racers to build what ever chassi and suspension they would need for the application.
