Official press release:

Custom 2010 Camaro Constructed for Competition in 2010 Formula DRIFT Championship

LOS GATOS, CA – BR Racing by Luke Lonberger in partnership with Conrad Grunewald Racing reveal they are in the process of building a 2010 Camaro SS in preparation for the 2010 Formula DRIFT Championship competition.

“I am very excited to be able to drive such an iconic American muscle car in the Formula DRIFT Championship,” said Conrad Grunewald, driver and owner of Conrad Grunewald Racing. “Our main goal is to have the Camaro ready for the 2009 SEMA show but our preseason testing should start immediately after the show. I have a great amount of confidence that BR Racing and Luke Lonberger can build this Camaro into a highly competitive car and I look forward to getting back out on the track."

Hankook Tire Corporation will provide tire sponsorship for the 2010 Formula DRIFT season. Grunewald announced the Camaro will use Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires on custom Forgeline aluminum 3-piece wheels. The car is to be controlled by Eibach’s Multi-Pro-R2 two-way adjustable dampers and coilovers. A GM Performance LS-A supercharged 6.2 liter V8 controlled by the AEM Universal EMS and expected to make over 600 RWHP will power the Camaro. All body work will be constructed with carbon fiber from Seibon Carbon.

The car will also be on display the 2009 SEMA Show at Las Vegas Convention Center, Nov. 3 to Nov. 6, 2009. The Camaro build can be followed at Conrad Grunewald Racing, LLC.

Entering its sixth season, Formula DRIFT is recognized as the North American professional drifting championship. Established on the streets of Japan, drifting has evolved into a worldwide competitive sport that challenges each driver's driving ability and vehicle control. Formula DRIFT provides a forum for professional drifters to compete in 7 events nationwide for the coveted Formula DRIFT Championship crown. As the first official series in North America, Formula DRIFT has taken competitive motorsports to the extreme attracting fans and car enthusiasts from all walks of life and establishes itself as the global focal point for the Sport.

Right on man.

BTW, heard you love Adams Track, lmao!!

turboboost12004 · 09-21-2009, 10:52 PM

dam i bet its going to make crazy torque and power.....

GSXRJJordan · 10-05-2009, 04:14 AM

Just got back from 4 days of intense wiring work on the Camaro, and it's unbelievable. The engine's still on a stand, but I was able to create a harness from scratch with parts of an AEM harness and the rest with Mil-spec wire, and of course, Mil-spec circular connectors going through the firewall.

As soon as Luke emails me the pics from his D-SLR, I'll post 'em up

I wasn't down with the ditches off the corners. I thought the track was coo though. First time there at night + car i had never driven + 700 hp = fun time.

blu808 · 10-19-2009, 11:52 PM

Carbon fiber, cool engine, sparco stuff, brembo stuff, gm performance stuff, all sorts of win. Hennessy even did some magic on the blower.

*exitspeed* · 10-20-2009, 08:21 AM

GSXRJJordan · 10-20-2009, 10:24 AM
