Custom 2010 Camaro SS To Enter Formula Drift

As some might say, “there’s a new face in town.” A custom 2010 Camaro SS drift machine is being built by BR Racing in partnership with Conrad Grunewald Racing for the 2010 Formula DRIFT Championship competition, with Hankook as the tire sponsor.

Entering its sixth season, Formula DRIFT is recognized as the North American professional drifting championship.

“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, in a statement for the press.

“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,” added Grunewald.

Grunewald announced the Camaro will use Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires on custom Forgeline aluminum 3-piece wheels. The car is to be controlled by Eibach’s Multi-Pro-R2 two-way adjustable dampers and coilovers.

Powering the Camaro will be a GM Performance LS-A supercharged 6.2 liter V8 engine, controlled by the AEM Universal EMS, expected to develop over 600 RWHP. Moreover, all body work will be made using carbon fiber from Seibon Carbon.

The building can be followed here. The car will also be on display at the 2009 SEMA Show at Las Vegas Convention Center between November 3-6, 2009.
