Mooresville, NC - While Dale Earnhardt Jr. tries to win the USG Sheetrock 400 at Chicagoland Speedway the weekend of July 13-15, his freshly-built 1972 Camaro will try to win the Goodguys 2007 Street Machine of the Year award presented by Air Ride Technologies. The talented crew at Detroit Speed and Engineering built Earnhardt Jr’s “Bitchin’ Camaro” and recently announced it will make its official debut at the Goodguys 10th PPG Nationals in Columbus, OH. Don’t miss your chance to be one of the first to see the car unveiled Friday morning, July 13th at the Detroit Speed & Engineering booth.
The car was built from the ground up this past winter and spring at DSE. The Camaro was brought into their North Carolina shop as a complete vehicle. It was stripped, media blasted it, and completely overhauled including all the body work. The object of this build was to complete the vehicle with a vintage Trans Am road race look while still remaining all business and pure function.
Features include DSE’s new 2nd Generation Hydroformed Subframe, DSE’s 2nd Generation QUADRA Link,™ with 2nd Generation Mini-Tubs. Also included are Subframe Connectors, a customized Roll Cage, and a custom T-56 crossmember. For cooling the car features a Be Cool radiator with Stewart electric fans with a DSE custom shroud. The engine is a GM LS2 engine with a T-56 6-speed transmission that rides on Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires and custom two tone wheels.
Don’t miss the unveiling of Little E’s new super car Friday morning, July 13th at the Detroit Speed and Engineering Booth. The booth is located on the main vendor midway right in front of the Bricker Building.
