Grand-Am. And American Le Mans.
If for no other reason than to beat out those elietist punks who dont think a Camaro can get it done.

it would seem to me that if they campaigned in gt2 in alms, it would still conflict with the corvettes in gt1. it could work but i would think it would be better to campaign in the rolex sports car series. the gto will be leaving an empty slot to fill...

Grand Am GT. That's about it. ( I like the idea of Pro Stock and F/C in NHRA).
Can't compete in SPEED WC GT, 'cos it'll compete against the Vette. The TC is for 4 doors. No place for it in ALMS, either. There're of course grassroot racing levels it can enter in (SCCA T2, Mustang-Camaro Challenge, AV8SS...)
I agree to enter it wherever Mustang is competing.
Of course, ideally SCCA (or whoever owns it), brings back Trans Am, since we'll have Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger very shortly.
that'll be mighty suhweeet!

Would be nice to see it start with grass roots stuff. For example, Mustang drag racing dwarfs any other single model in this regard. It has to help.

I don't see why a Camaro entered in the GT class for the ALMS would compete against the Corvette. It would be going against Porshe, BMW, and whoever else races in that class. It wouldn't be competeing with the Corvette. Just imagine the advertising when both Camaro and Corvette win their classes at Daytona or Sebring.

Whatever happens, I hope GM helps private teams by developing the Camaro (to compete in races). Like Ford with the Mustang.

Mushasi: Speed Touring Car challenge isnt limited to 4 doors but 4 passengers. its more a matter of power/displacement between the 2 series. i went to the site and looked up the official rules:
Grand Touring (GT): Includes a variety of production displacements with no maximum. Forced induction is permitted and is used to equalize individual models. Sedans, coupes, convertibles and two-seat models are permitted. The cars can be rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive. Class horsepower range is 425-550 bhp.
Touring Car (TC): Cars up to 2.8-liters that are naturally aspirated are permitted. Forced induction permitted as if it came that way from the factory. The cars can be front-wheel, rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive. The cars must be able to seat four adults, and convertibles are not allowed. Class horsepower range is 225-275 bhp.
