Conrad Grunewald's Hankook Chevrolet Camaro SS Drift Car
Considering the Chevrolet Camaro's propensity for melting tire rubber, it was only a matter of time before someone turned one into a drift car. Now it's happened. BR Racing and Conrad Grunewald Racing have teamed up to campaign a Camaro SS in the 2010 Formula DRIFT season.
"I am very excited to be able to drive such an iconic American muscle car in the Formula DRIFT Championship," said Conrad Grunewald, driver and owner of Conrad Grunewald Racing. "Our main goal is to have the Camaro ready for the 2009 SEMA show but our preseason testing should start immediately after the show. I have a great amount of confidence that BR Racing and Luke Lonberger can build this Camaro into a highly competitive car and I look forward to getting back out on the track."
BR Racing will be building the Formula D Camaro using all carbon-fiber body work and a GM Performance LS-A supercharged 6.2L V-8 crate engine making over 600 hp. Eibach Multi-Pro-R2 adjustable dampers and coilovers will keep the suspension in check while the Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires will be sacrificed to the racing gods on an altar of Forgeline three-piece aluminum wheels.
If you'd like to follow along, the Formula D Camaro's build-up will be chronicled on Conrad Grunewald's website and the finished product will make its debut at SEMA in November ahead of the start of the 2010 Formula DRIFT
