They are NA, but they are EFI.

As a huge NASCAR fan for years, this is great news.

I have been getting worried as of late about the future of the Camaro.

This is not the same GM that we grew up with. They will drop this car in a second if sales dip much further.

Having the ZL1 Camaro in Nascar is a good thing for the exposure and longevity of the brand. Now all they need to do is win!

It honestly is the best looking stock car body the have had for a long time. really wish they would use bodies in white and make it a true "stock car" should have to run it based off of a actual body and motor. Not necessarily the stock motor but the architecture of the motor should be based off of what would come from the factory.

For a limited production car the sales were on target. It wasn't meant to be a high volume car.

It's just a sticker

Wrong, they are allowing some contouring of the body panels to more closely resemble the production car. They are not as crisp or deep but they are there,look closer..:

Thats pretty cool still won't get me to watch any races. Quit watching NASCAR a couple years ago all I care to watch is when the truck series is at eldora.

Been to the Eldora race twice. Is defiantly the best race in all three series. Stay for the entire week last year and also went and saw the kings royal. $2 beers and $4 mixed drinks makes the whole experience worth every penny both on the track and in the stands

Here is a picture of the hood of the real car, you can see the contours of the ZL1 air extractor. Of course it is not functional, but it is not just a sticker.

Ok, I stand corrected

Chevy used 2 door cars until the Monte Carlo went away and they started using Impalas and then the SS.

I thought the Chevy Lumina was the first 4 door sedan raced in NASCAR? (Days of Thunder)

I also noticed NASCAR is allowing the tear quarter panels to have some contoure near the top. A few more front pictures
