That's a shame. My wife and me plus some other family members did the below link. I plan on doing the Camaro in Sept. Low 13's for the 1/4 mile is impressive for a automatic street machine.

They should turn it into an SUV, then it would sell more

hell for $500 you can have my car for the day haha. not sure what car they use but i can all but guarantee the 18 ss 1LE is better in every way. except visibility and backseat use.

more “unconfirmed sources” saying it’s only delayed, not killed altogether.

There are always discounts and coupons available so the final price for the ride along in the dragster for one run was $106 each. Didn't get a chance to check out the Camaro's. Next time (Sept hopefully).

i think the issue is that camaros aren’t camaros anymore. gm has invested too much in the chassis and has added way too much stuff. 2020 will bring a cheap base v8 car but i don’t think it will be cheap enough to compete. the chassis is hands down the best of the big 3, but no one cares about that - as evidenced by the challenger selling hand over fist on a 20 year old chassis design.

When I go racing, I swear that half the cars there are Camaros. You may have 1 or 2 Mustangs, 5 or 6 Vettes, no Challengers (cause they suck) and then some misc imports. But man, Camaros everywhere. In one of the series I race in, they actually have a Camaro only class. Thats how many there are..
