Why, it is a Camaro, since 1967 these things have made them selves at home and a familiar site at drag strips and road courses across the country. It's a performance vehicle with a long history of being some thing popularly modified, 5th gen should be treated no different and subject of it's own new history of racing, the same as model years of past of have enjoyed. The only people who would gasp are the car queers (waxers/ car show posers) who think modifying/racing a car is destroying it. They generally dislike people like us.

The only reason I saw that is crazy isbecause of the price. I mean if that is an SS car decked out, what did it cost? $50k? A lot of money to **** away on one car for a race car just to start out. Doesn't count of the money thats going to go into it.

Most people can't fathom modding a brand new car, especially one that is nearly $40K. Still, if you have the means, and you know the "risks", go for it.
Thing about numbers-matching cars, though...They all started out as new cars at some point. In most cases, they've been modified, and someone went through the time and expense of tracking down the "correct" parts, and put the car back to like-new condition. Cars we consider classics today were new at some point, too.
Here's something to think about. A 1969 Camaro SS had a base price of $3100. These days, a restored '69 SS goes for $30K and up. If a 2010 SS has a base price of $31,000, does that mean it will be worth $310,000 in 40 years? I highly doubt it.
Mod away, I say. And if anyone has a problem with it, remind them that it's not their car.

I'm all for drag cars like this one, but why not start out with a V6 Camaro if your just going to gut it like you did. I'm sure your going to get a new motor, tranny, rearend any ways. just sayin...
Looks like a badass drag car for sure

They could have just done the white version and they would have saved themselves some money.
