They are way overbuilt for both series.
The 7 ltr v8 Camaro makes 500 hp and 475hp in stock streetcar trim. As advertised.
Throw in a KN filter and ECU mapping who knows what it makes. The throttle body is 9mm with an 80mm restrictor which is probably about 25-30 hp and still makes 475 ftlbs of torque.
If you see the cars up close and know rules for the series... They were given very thing they asked for and a lot of it is beyond the spirit of the rules for the series .
When cars in this series are allowed to put in racing pedal boxes and dual master cylinder systems , lexan windows, its beyond the intentions of the series.
Again $350k for a Contincar is insane and all It will do.. Is kill the series.

Since when are big racing series fair, sane or not political? Chevy wants to sell more Camaros so they influence regulations. Guess the solution is Drive a Camaro. Or drive a car that strong manufacturers support and influence over sanctioning body. Not first or last time a manufacturer is given preference in a race series. $350K Camaro? ...No thanks. You could build a pretty nice Porsche for that amount. Chevy must want the win to tout the whole new line of track ready cars they are marketing? Too bad you cant counter the Chevies with a well developed GTR.
