Sweeeeet. The way they said it sounds like it's not just making a cameo but could actually see some track time.

^^^That should all change soon.
So are we all expecting to see the GT350R? How far after do you think the street version will be?

I think he means Roush but most Camaro folks I know have spelling issues.

Sadly that appears to be the case so far. The balance of performance seems to be in Camaros favor. I'm sure there is no politics involved;)
Anyways I got a feeling things are going to change soon. I can't wait to see the beast at COTA.

Fast because they are allowed a 7 liter engine with a 15mn restriction. Chevy doesn't build their cars either, Riley and Pratt build their Camaro's.
I'd be embarrassed to show up after 4 years of losses just to bring a 3rd party built, 7 liter Camaro. Of course they are fast... They NEED the help they are getting.
Too bad Chevy can't build a competitive Camaro. They need to have Pratt build it... I sure wish the Mustangs could only run a 75mn tube and have 2 extra liters. That points directly to the platform... The 5th Gen is AWFUL in competitive road racing. The 1LE sucked in T2 and every Camaro since then has been a Riley or Pratt/Miller Carbon Fiber Frankenstein.
...and still won't win a championship... pathetic...
Boy, the Camaro's sure are fast, only the uninformed would buy that. The Camaro couldn't win a championship, they took pity on them. The last time this happened, the GSR won back to back when the Camaros restrictions were removed..
Like the KIA in WC, the Camaro took on way too many changes for the class. The z28R isn't even close to OEM and they ran a Riley ZL1 in WC. The Boss didn't need the field restricted to win 11 races and a championship in two classes in its maiden season. The z28 still struggles as is.
Say... Where did the OEM z28 race this season?
Nowhere you say???

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the rule bending GM gets away with. But let's face it, a series sells more tickets and attracts more as dollars when GM comes to play. The Boss had an excellent debut, with a car we could all buy. It will return to the podium. Swings and roundabouts.

I'm not a fan of it either... Chevy threatened to pull the 5tg Gen in 2011 and they got their restrictions removed for 3 races... Finished 2nd, 1st and 1st with a pole position. Same shit here...
They couldn't win with a Riley prepped 6.2 SS, so, they are allowed a larger engine with hardly no restriction.
These idiots are proud of that...

They are 2nd in the championship only 15 points behind. They were slowed down for Road America this weekend. We will see if it finally impacts their performance or if they still have more in reserve to pull off a championship.
I don't think Ford builds their cars either, outsourcing it to Multimatic like Chevy does with P&M.

Ford Racing builds ALL Boss 302's, especially for the classes that required homologation. This is published in the vehicle overview. The Camaro had one of the worst performances out of all the active competition. Sadly, a nearly unrestricted 7 liter was the answer, along with a 100rwhp advantage over the 370rwhp class maximum.
This is a perfect example of just how unfit the 5th Gen platform is. There is no reason any car needs 470rwhp and 7 liters. In order for Riley or Pratt to make this thing competitive, they swapped out the exterior panels to CF. The entire suspension and brakes are aftermarket while everyone else uses OEM stuff.
Of course the z28.R is fast... The class was specifically set up for that exact reason. They have sucked the last 4 seasons, they were handed a bone.
