Just take a look at the NASCAR versions of the Mustang and Challenger. Those things are horrendous. Instead of subjecting the beautiful Camaro to such abuse GM wisely chose to use another car which already more or less fits the appearance of NASCAR vehicles.
I am not at all a NASCAR fan and I have never watched a race in my life, but I can sleep easier knowing that some abomination isn't rolling around pointlessly in an oval with the name Camaro on it (except for the badass Camaro pace car). This decision is a win for Chevy, huge loss for Dodge and Ford IMO.

I like the use of the word "uglified."
