In the late sixties a road racing series began in the United States. While the muscle cars dominated the straight line of the quarter mile, these road racers had to due something that muscle cars were notoriously bad at - turn. Even today there are some who would think that a smaller engine, bigger brakes and a bigger suspension is just lunacy, it was the perfect recipe for what became perhaps the greatest road racing series this side of the Atlantic - the Trans-Am.
For 2011 Dave Weise put together the '70 Camaro Road Race. Based on the 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 race car, built in the Trans-Am's golden era, to take on Ford's Boss 302 Mustang which began dominating the Trans Am race series in '69. I think DW did a great job in capturing the spirit of one of the US's greatest road racing cars.
In line with its racing heritage I swapped in some wheels from an old Racing Champions NASCAR model I scored off of ebay a while back. Oh yeah, she's a real looker now!
