Funny you mentioned that. I was watching brickyard racing a couple of weeks ago and it had Firebirds in it.

Toyota Solara??? Ahahahahahahahaha how funny is that?



Anyway, its not gonna make a bit of difference: Lumina, Thunderbird, Monte, Grand Prix, Stratus, Fusion, Charger... they all look the same anyway under all those stickers.

They need to put it in GT races to replaces the GTO instead of just making headlight stickers and slaping them on a nascar car.

Stratus, when did NASCAR use that? Do you mean Intrepid? And the Lumina and T-birds looked alot like the real thing on the outside... it's only now that they just have different headlights, well not really "only now" it started with the Monte and the GP and Taurus.

Just wait till next year, with the Car of Tomorrow.

I think that GM fields the Corvette in the GT Series, and Pontiac fields the GTO. I don't think that GM would pull the 'vette to throw in the Camaro.

Re: Camaro in NASCAR?

The GTO was in SPEED World Challenge GT, Grand Am Rolex GT, and Grand Am Cup (and doing well too). The C6.R races the American Le Mans Series in the GT1 class. If they entered a Camaro in American Le Mans it would probably be in the GT2S class. It doesn't really matter anyway because Chevy is pulling the Corvette out of American Le Mans next year.

Re: Camaro in NASCAR?

That COT looks good really agressive but it's getting to be borderline rice. Pretty soon they'll stick a big bullet muffle out the back and add some neon underneath. That'll draw in the crowds.

Yes i meant the Intrepid. Thanks for the clarification.. all those Chryslers look the same anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did use the Stratus... I wasn't trying to correct you, I was seriously asking.

Yeah, I thought that I saw some 'vettes at the Rolex. But now that you mention all those other series, I think I'm wrong. It must have been just the GTOs.

Now that you mention it I think you are right about vettes being in some of those series. I want to say they would be independents because I thought the only chevy sponsored vettes were the C6.Rs in Le Mans, but I could be wrong.

On another note when I was trying to track down an answer I found a picture of a T/A from the Rolex series.
