CHEVROLET CAMARO SS TRANS AM TA4-SPEC RACE CAR
CHEVROLET CAMARO SS TRANS AM TA4-SPEC RACE CAR TODD NAPIERALSKI’S CAMARO RUNS AT THE FRONT OF THE FIELD WITH CHEVROLET PERFORMANCE ZL1 1LE PARTS 2017-10-30 For more than 50 years, SCCA Trans Am has pitted production-based race cars in one of motorsports’ most exciting and enduring road-racing series. One of the standout competitors today is Todd Napieralski, who drives this Camaro SS racecar in the Trans Am TA4 class. He drove it to a second-place finish at Road America last year, in its first outing. Part of Napieralski’s competitive edge with the Camaro comes from ZL1 1LE chassis and suspension components that enhance the car’s road-holding and handling capabilities. When built last year with the cooperation of Chevrolet Performance and Total Performance Racing, the ZL1 1LE components were mostly concept parts, but they have been incorporated in the production Camaro ZL1 1LE and many are available for purchase from Chevrolet Performance. That means any racer with a Gen Six Camaro SS can use them to build a more competitive racecar.

The Camaro TA4-Spec race car joins approximately 20 additional Chevrolet models this week at the SEMA Show, Oct. 31-Nov. 3.

A little confused by the article. So the car in the picture(the race car) is a standard SS with ZL1 body parts and 1LE underpinnings?

Sweet! I wonder how the first part number alone (shocks, springs, swaybar) on a regular SS compares to a SS 1LE.
Anticipating this package is one of the reasons I got the non-MRC suspension.

Pretty much a ZL1 1LE minus the LT4 engine. The car I was asking for. Now time for the "street legal" version. This car is going to be fast around the tracks.

I tried those part numbers @ thatgmpartsguy.com and they bring back "No results".

so they are making this a production car? What makes a ZL1 a ZL1 if it doesn't have the LT4 seeing that the suspension is now 1LE? Forgive me just trying to understand.

It could start as a production car or a body in white. Not sure what the Trans Am rules are. Either way it's turned into a race car homologated to run the TA4 spec class in the Trans Am Series. Much the same way The Pratt & Miller GT4 spec Camaros were built to race in IMSA and PWC. It will not be produced on the production line for sale to the masses.

I used to be Dragoneye...

This is an example of what parts you can buy from Chevrolet Performance. It won't be a production car as-is.
Still....pretty cool! |

Kinda seems like this would fit the Z28's M.O. eh? ZL1 1LE underpinnings but naturally aspirated?

Correct. Similar to the camaro GT4. They use the ZL1 bumpers for the added benefit of that wide open mouth for cooling and canards.
