SEMA 2009: Grunewald Racing Camaro sets its sights on 2010 Formula Drift season
2010 Grunewald Racing Camaro - Click above for high-res image gallery
Conrad Grusewald has been an occasional participant in the Formula Drift series for the past several years with a supercharged C5 Corvette as his vehicle of choice for piloting around clipping points and narrowly missing concrete barriers while in opposite lock. For the 2010 season, however, he plans to step up the efforts with an all new 2010 Camaro built specifically as a drift car with Hankook Tire as the lead sponsor.
In addition to providing the Camaro for Grusewald, Chevrolet also pitched in an LS-A crate motor from GM Performance Parts that should produce more than 600 horsepower at the wheels. The car also features an Eibach suspension, carbon fiber body panels from Seibon, Forgeline aluminum wheels and more. Expect to see more of this car when the Formula Drift season starts in April, but until then you'll have to settle for our gallery of high-res photos below.

It's Hankook, not hancook. "all new 2010 Camaro built specifically as a drift car with Hancook Tire as the lead sponsor"

I'm tired of autoblog covering camaros and mustangs excessively.

I would think the Camaro would be a poor choice for a drift car because of the poor visibility? The giant hood seems like it would make it harder push the limits...or no?

Aren't the words racing and drift mutually exclusive?

I liked the color combination so much that I recreated it in Forza Motosport 3. If you've got Forza 3 on the XBOX 360, you can download it from the Storefront.
