Have you actually seen the abominations they call "Mustang" and "Challenger" in the Nationwide series?

I think the Nationwide Challenger/Mustang front end looks like a damn good representation of the production car.....I'm just talking the front end. C'mon, for a spec car...what are you expecting.

Sure NASCAR is racing, but my point was that Grand-Am is a lot more appropriate for Camaro. I think GM realizes this, too which is why I doubt we'll see a Cup Camaro any time soon.

I have nothing against either series -- although I am more familiar with NASCAR, having attended about 15 races over the years.

I am looking forward to seeing a Grand-Am race, as soon as I can. From my very distant vantage point, Grand-Am seems to be more like what NASCAR was when I was a kid (a long time ago). The cars in that series are more closely linked to their factory counterparts.

Re: Nascar + Camaro

First Chevy should market the camaro as not being allowed in Nascar as it is an unfair advantage.
Then they need to use a name like Chevelle and market it as a performance package as well.

Re: Nascar + Camaro

I'd like to see the Camaro likeness come back to NHRA funny car racing. It sells Camaros. So will a Camaro likeness in NASCAR...even though I don't like NASCAR.

Re: Nascar + Camaro

There were big rumors last year of Camaro entering NHRA Pro Stock at some point this year.

IIRC The first body that was rolled out for approval (can't remember if it was 5-star, RJ, or who actually built the body) didn't make the cut and the effort was delayed.

Pro Stock would be cool since the cars are a stretched likeness of the production car without the "cartoon" element that Pro Modifieds and Funny Cars tend to get.

Re: Nascar + Camaro

Pro-Stock consisting of Dodge Challengers, Ford Mustangs and Chevrolet Camaros would totally rock!

Instead of the lame putz-mobiles that they are using now.
