That is what I called my previous '69 Camaro, since it perfectly described it. Here are photos, all I did was change the wheels and loosen the QA1 shocks:



Here is the car with the "drag look". https://ls1tech.com/69Camaro/racing/index.htm

I vote both

On a stock bodied car the pro touring look works better because the car sits at the angle the manufacturer intended, but nothing can beat the look of a car with 14" wide tires tucked away into wheel tubs and sitting level.

The results are pretty one sided. I'll add to the PT setup count.

Looking good man!! You are way more ahead than me!! LOL!! Im still in the planning stage. I need first to build me a nice garage to bring the car from my grandma's house. I see you are going for a LSX engine. Im considering the stock inline 6 in a turbocharged setup to be really different. You can have a really nice setup with very good power also that could put some V8 in shame. Lets see what happens!!

Thanks! Yeah...I was thinking of some other engine combos but I when I saw the LS7 it just seemed like the closest thing to a race engine with street manners. I figured since this will be almost DD it would be the best of both worlds but I like your engine choice to!
