All Dale Earnhardt Jr. Concept Photos will be posted in this thread.

Camaro Dale Earnhardt Jr. Concept -
NASCAR star Dale Jr. is fan of vintage Camaros - he cruises around in a Pro Touring-style '72 Camaro powered by a GM Performance Parts LS crate engine - and the heritage-inspired design of the 2010 Camaro appeals to him like a checkered flag at Daytona. His vision for the car was channeled to GM's designers and crafted in a multi-color combination of style, capability and comfort.

They started with a new Camaro SS that uses the standard 6.2L V-8, but modified to use E85. Taking advantage of E85's favorable octane rating, the engine was calibrated to deliver a few extra horsepower, with the exhaust exiting through GM Performance Parts' new headers. It's backed by the SS's available six-speed manual transmission and GM Accessories' short-throw Hurst shifter. Additional performance enhancements include a Brembo brake package and a lowered ride height, giving Dale Jr.'s Camaro a sleeker look to match its road-hugging capability.

custom gray-over-white paint scheme blends the high-performance drivetrain with serious style. It is accented with an orange stripe separating the gray and white sections. Also generating attention on the exterior is a set of 21-inch, five-spoke wheels inspired by the Camaro Convertible Concept. They feature dark-painted center sections on the spokes that complement the body's gray color. The wheels are wrapped in Pirelli P-Zero ZR-rated performance tires.

Additional exterior details include:

* Chevy Accessories grille
* Chevy Accessories ground effects and rear diffuser
* Chevy Accessories exhaust system
* Early Camaro-style "dovetail" rear spoiler
* Production high-intensity discharge headlamps
* Production RS taillamps

Similarly, the interior is outfitted for performance and style, including:

* Custom-trimmed leather-and-suede-covered seats with accent stitching
* Leather-trimmed steering wheel, shift knob, door armrests and center console lid, with accent stitching
* Carbon-fiber treatment on the instrument panel and door panel inserts
* Racing-style aluminum pedals
* Production-optional four-pack auxiliary gauge cluster
* Revised gauge cluster with unique graphics and colors
* Custom sill plates

Dale Jr. also specified Chevy Accessories' upgraded audio system for the Camaro, which is matched with a Boston Acoustics speaker system, including amps and subwoofers.

that was a IVER car that they took for the show to customize so it hasn't been updated to current specs.

Was exactly what I was thinking, if thats not it, it's close. Also, that spoiler really looks "at home" on this car.

Captain Awesome · 11-04-2008, 02:03 AM

What white-face guages look like ass, but the rest of the car looks pretty slick!

JimLE#1301 · 11-04-2008, 02:22 AM

I want this one!!!!! It's awesome.

THESE ARE AWESOME!!!!! Love the gauges too...the wheels....seats...everything!

headpunter · 11-04-2008, 03:56 AM

what do people think of the Accessory Grill?

*TAG UR IT* · 11-04-2008, 04:07 AM

I like it, but want that with the SS in the center instead of the bow tie

Supermans · 11-04-2008, 04:51 AM

So is this the first time we get to see Cyber Grey Metallic on a Camaro??? I do wish GM would have kept the torque gauge as that is so much more cool...

Nice package. It would be good to see something like this actually offered as a production model.

If you like that, you will absolutely LOVE Cyber Grey!

Seriously, if they offered this JR camaro as a limited edition production run, I would probably buy. Sell it only at Dale Earnhardt Chevrolet. Like the 2002 Intimidator SS's

ctk1 · 11-04-2008, 09:48 AM

So is this the blade spoiler or is this some custom piece just for Sema?

ctk1 · 11-04-2008, 09:50 AM

Did anyone else notice that the XM/On Star antenna is painted on this car. Hmmm, could GM be realizing how shitty it looks?
