GM just released the info and photo's on the new track pack Camaro SSX for 2011. Looks like GM was not sleeping at the wheel while they went thru their reorganization and seem to have an answer for fords mustang boss laguna seca model just released for 2012.

I think GM has the upper hand when it comes to these two offering, but i might be a little biased but that's JMHO. Who do you guys think would win at the track between these two offering?

I know GM has not released the hp rating for this model yet but i think a different cam and heads are part of the package.

2011 Camaro SSX Track Car Concept Debuts at SEMA

2011 CHEVROLET CAMARO SSX TRACK CAR CONCEPT

Ever since the new Chevrolet Camaro’s launch last year, owners have explored the performance potential of the car. The Camaro SSX Track Car is a concept for transforming a street Camaro SS into a closed-course track car, and a showcase for new performance parts.

“The SSX concept explores taking Camaro’s excellent street performance and extending it into a road course context,” said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet marketing. “The car expresses Camaro performance while also signaling Chevrolet’s new commitment to developing and offering a portfolio of performance parts for racing enthusiasts."

The Camaro SSX Track Car has a purposeful aesthetic, with exterior appointments and suspension modifications aimed at road course performance. They include carbon fiber aero parts – front splitter and adjustable rear wing – lightweight carbon fiber body panels, revised lower grille and unique brake cooling ducts. The carbon body panels significantly lower the Camaro’s weight, as does the elimination of much of the production car’s sound-deadening material, carpeting and rear seat.

Low-gloss Icy White Metallic exterior paint is contrasted with the carbon aero parts, door graphics/racing number and red details; and this competition-ready Camaro rolls on dedicated track wheels and tires. This concept was constructed with input from Pratt and Miller, Chevrolet partner in Corvette Racing, and Riley Technologies using parts proven in the Grand Am racing series.

Exterior:

* Icy White Metallic color with red accents and door graphics
* Carbon fiber hood, fenders, door and deck lid
* Exposed carbon fiber front splitter, rockers and adjustable rear wing
* Unique lower grille and brake ducts

Interior:

* Carpeting, sound deadener and rear seat deleted
* Ace suede-covered racing steering wheel and shifter
* SCCA-approved roll cage and window net
* Racing driver’s seat with five-point harness
* Racing pedals
* Fire suppression system
* Fuel cell
* Video camera system mounted on the roll cage

Performance:

* LS3 6.2L V-8 enhanced with Chevrolet Performance Parts’ camshaft, cylinder heads and dry-sump oiling system
* Production six-speed manual transmission
with Corvette ZR1 twin-disc clutch
* Low-restriction air induction and exhaust systems
* Four-wheel disc racing brake system with six-piston front/four-piston rear calipers and drilled and slotted rotors
* Modified production suspension with Pfadt licensed components
* 20-inch racing wheels and tires

Mustang in a quarter and my guess would be the Camaro would edge out the Mustang on a road course.

im going to guess the opposite

In the end we all will be the winners due to the pony wars that GM along with ford and dodge are wagging. Enjoy them while you can, because just like the 60's hp heyday it will not last forever.

Too bad it's just a concept car and will most likely never see production.

That's the exact same thing they said about the Camaro... and look what happened.

[RLHMARINES]

This is more than just a concept, it will be produced as a whole car and/or the parts will be available thru gmpp catalog thru dealers.

if that exact car is built you can expect at least a 75k price tag. carbon fiber parts? cha-ching

[assasinator]

that is a killer car. but pricing it high is a mistake. strip it, use metal, and that engine. hat car should be the Z28.

[assasinator]

that car should be compared to BOSS302R. i just read the specs. its a race car. if they price it a 40k. it will rule.

[chain777]

It looks like this concept is a track only car, so it wouldn't really compete with the Boss. Even the Laguna Seca is street legal, so this looks more like it would compete with the FR Mustangs.

You'd be looking at six figures plus for a car like this.
