If I'm not mistaken the last race of the season at VIR was the new Camaro's Koni GS Series debut, in classic Sunoco colors no less. Fastest lap for the new Camaro wasn't bad, but the team only managed a 43rd place showing...not sure what happened. On the happy side for GM enthusiasts Camaro is allowed to run a full power LS3 with no restrictor plate, which should work in their favor since Camaro possesses the largest displacement engine in the series.
Ironically, in the 'who did Dodge piss off' section of the news Dodge's Challenger, which weighs more than Camaro and uses a slightly smaller displacement motor, is power restricted through the mandatory use of a restrictor plate. While I'm no Mopar fan, to be fair they probably need to go a bit easier on the Pentastar boys here.
With the Coyote powered GT coming for 2011 and the Camaro running it's first full season next year this could be the closest things to the classic Trans Am series of the 60's and early 70's that we have seen since that era.
