I like it. Not a big fan of the new-gen styling, but it's cool to see the modern Camaro in stock again.
BTW - it's going to be a matter of time before a person complains about the HP ratings etc etc.....

Just what stock eliminator needs......another 8 second "stocker"
Why is it that people complain about lack of innovation, yet when something newer and faster comes out they complain about it?

Some people aren't happy unless they have something to complain about...

Because people love to complain.

If I had spent a life times years-and 2 life times money making my stocker competitive-and it got bumped back to being a bracket car because of this, I'd complain. But I haven't-so I think its great there is factory involvement from the big 3 again.
It answers my question...Ill take two please.

As soon as Dodge comes out with a supercharged Challenger, the NHRA can give them there own class to compete in. Sort of like what Pro Stock was in 1970, full of factory teams. I would definitely follow that class, it would be good for the manufacturers, and good for the sport in general.

A $90K stocker. And folks wonder why car counts are down.
OK, say you take a bone stock 1969 Camaro and decide to go racing with it. How much to buy the car, and how much to prep it to be competetive for the class?
I'd wager you'd not be that far from $90,000 before you're all done and ready to race.

Thank you Sherman!!!
Plus, if it's like the Challangers/Mustangs were, it'll take 1-2 years for them to be half way accurate on their factored ETs!
PS: Love Camaros but hate the new 5th Gens! Maybe they will grow on me.

Same here. I think Chrysler did a better job recreating the Challenger, IMHO.
(I wonder if anyone in Hollywood is considering re-making "Vanishing point?")

After reading the specs I have to ask what, exactly, is "stock" on that car?
I'm not complaining though, it reminds me of the days of the factory wars where one-upmanship was the order of the day. I say "BRING IT!"
Awesome idea! But will they destroy a Camaro at the end like they did in the original Vanishing Point?

they'd have to do SOMETHING to acknowledge that, wouldn't they??
I just noticed that picture has been "flipped."

Stockers are shoe polish racers most of the time anyhow, aren't they? How often to they race heads-up?

Thats my point---it costs a fortune. I have a customer who built a 2002 Camaro LS1 car for stock and he did all the work himself except the engine machine work and spent $50K. Then throw in another $150K for a toter home and stacker with support equipment to compete in a lower level class. Hard to grow the sport when it costs a fortune to play.
