East Texas Muscle Cars, a Texas hot rod shop, has announced its intentions to build a 2010 V6 Camaro that is capable of running with and beating the vaunted Nissan GT-R on the Nurburging in Germany.
The GT-R has been the apple of every clean-hands magazine and website since it first came to the US and the car has backed up a lot of its heady performance claims by laying down crazy numbers on road courses (especially the Green Hell) across the world. The Nissan has whopped on stuff way out of its price range. Frankly, we’re pretty sick of hearing about it.
This Camaro, equipped with the Direct Injection V6 that makes a healthy 300hp stock, will be receiving several upgrades, the most important of which will be a turbocharger. Fiddling with these DI engines is a new frontier of hot rodding so we’re interested to see how this whole thing works out.
The company claims that it is going to ship the Camaro over to Germany with a GT-R to back up its claims once the project is finished. This could be totally awesome as the Camaro is sure to be seen as an epic underdog in this matchup.
