If We Were Building A Pro Touring Machine Right Now This Would Be It


If We Were Building A Pro Touring Machine Right Now This Would Be It

We’ve said for a long, long, time that nobody in the pro touring world has actually went out and built the ultimate pro touring machine to compete at Optima’s Ultimate Street Car Invitational. And this wouldn’t be the ultimate either. Yeah, we know lots of bitchin cars have been built. Lots that we would love to own and drive. But all of them have been built because someone likes the car they are building, and decides to try and make that into the Ultimate Street Car. We’re no different.

After showing Daphne what the wonderful world of autocross is like, she and I spent days driving cross country dreaming about what we would build if we won the lotto or something. Well, the likelihood of that happening is slim, so if we were realistically building something what would it be? Answer: IROC era Camaro.

Yep, they are pretty cheap, look cool, hold an LS or any other engine we could ever want without issue, and they have a really really strong aftermarket support. So building one that will be fun to drive, fun to race, and still be a cool Camaro isn’t the biggest project in the world.

Depending on what you plan to do with the interior, and how much of a street car you want it to be, the two most expensive things to do can be paint and body and interior. But if you are cool with the simple Maaco paint job, then interior is probably going to be more expensive. So, we found this one on our local Craigslist that has a really really clean interior and seems to be in really good shape overall.

Here is all the info from the seller.

I have a 1989 v6 camaro rs. It has about 110k miles on it and still runs strong. I have done all the basic maintenance to keep her running. I had the car for a while but I have gotten bored of it already. Could be a nice project car or a daily if you wanted. Interior is a 9/10 so that’s a big plus. Let me know if you need any more info

    Chad – you want to get that horrible growth chopped off the end of the end of your index finger…..

    Turbo ls, t56, c4 suspension front and rear with bigger brakes and could overs, a 4 point or so cage, subframe connectors, etc, a little clean up on the body work and paint, this would be an incredibly fun car.
