Default ***LG Motorsports Gen5 Camaro World Challenge Race Build***

Hey guys,

I had this going on a few of the Camaro boards but figured you guys would like to see it as well.

This is a full build layout of a Pro Level World Challenge Camaro race car. While some of the more 'trick' items will not be shown in detail we are going to give you a very in-depth look behind 'locked doors' of how a Camaro goes from the street to the track.

Of course if you need any custom fab work done to your Corvette, or need to get a Vette going into a series we can help you from suspension to a full car build as you see here.

Be interesting to see what the tortional rigidity numbers where before and after the chassis mods! How stiff would you say the chassis is now?
