Mike McCracken's sharp Super Pro/Gas 2010 Camaro SS

Interest in GM’s newest Camaro has been growing by leaps and bounds of late, especially in the drag world where there are more projects underway involving the car than we can honestly keep track of.  There is also talk of the possibility that many Pro Stock teams and chassis builders intend to switch over to the Chevrolet muscle car in the next couple of years.

Thus far, if you wanted a 2010 Camaro for drag racing purposes, you had to go with a heavy, body-in-white car, as fiberglass and carbon fiber versions made specifically for race cars hadn’t been developed and placed on the market yet.  But now, thanks to VFN Fiberglass, we may be seeing many more of these cars hit the track in the coming months.  This body appears to be at or very near stock body dimensions rather than a swoopy-looking piece that we might expect on a Pro Stock car, but nonetheless, it offers folks a huge weight savings compared to a factory steel body.  The complete body weighs in at 135 pounds.  For some of the series that allow certain composite body parts to be utilized, the doors, nose, bumpers and such can all be purchased separately.  Being nearly stock appearing, its possible these may show up on other applications besides drag racing, such as full-on pro-touring builds, road race cars, and the like.  Now we’d like to see someone take this relative brick and make it slick.
