GM Reveals Chevrolet Camaro Z/28.R

[LostPony]

Nevermind previous post, I found the thread about it. If true about limiting the cars power to 405, like they do to the Boss and BMW, any comparison between the actual race car and the competition either on the track or street is moot.

To me that's a shame.

Not only will it be de-tuned by about 100hp, it also won't have the CC brakes, the 305 tires or the Multimatic shocks.

But that isn't really a surprise since it's been mentioned many times before that these things wouldn't be allowed in competition.

The Continental race at Daytona will be on Fox Sports 2, Friday Jan 24th from 6-8 pm. The Stevenson Z/28.R cars qualified 5th and 8th today.

Which I understand on keeping costs down but isn't that what road racing is? The teams with the best equipment and staff usually are on top. I would think if allowed it would force the other big name manufacturers to step up and play. Perhaps force them to advance the technical side of the sport a bit more.

Nothing about live timing and scoring, which they have done in previous years. I do have my DVR set to record.

its to keep it fair, thats why there are salary caps in NHL, NFL, NBA, Look at all the rules in the NHRA rulebook for their classes. It makes it so that it always isnt the person with the deepest pockets, best tech that will always win, it keeps the playing field level.
