Default My 71 Camaro

Here is my 71 Camaro. Done in a big and little theme. Have been thinking about going the pro tour look. What do you guys think? (pretty sure I already know )

I've had the car for 30+ years and need to do something different with it. Plus an autocross track opened up in my town and it looks like fun!!

Thats a sweet looking 2nd gen. and way to go for hanging on to it for 30yrs If your thinking about some changes/upgrades Put the weld wheels/tires up for grabs and look at some more proportionate sizing. You can easily upgrade your suspension components to your goals without putting in a new front clip or changing out your rear end and so forth, unless your wallet is looking for attention.

Default Beautiful car

I love the car. It looks great. I would love your wheels and tires for my 71 project. If you do decide to go that route keep me in mind for them. Take care.

Part of the decision is wether or not you like going around corners at high speed, stopping fast, etc etc. I had my car set up as a road racer when I got it around 1991. After a few years I put a 6-71 blower on it and used it on the street but mainly drag racing. I missed the ability to corner, so I decided to change it back to a road race car but add more power so I could accelerate quicker then before to.
If you want that 555, you can use that to. I put a 581 with a procharger in mine.
