Camaro SS: BRB - Gone Drifting w/Conrad Grunewald
Written by Corey Mullane Monday, 21 September 2009
Our friend Antonio at MotorMavens.com just posted the latest on a story we broke back in June - that a 2010 Camaro would be going drifting! We posted that one of the winners of a SEMA Camaro was pro drifter Conrad Grunewald. However, a rendering of this upcoming sideways Camaro was hard to come by but that’s where Antonio came in, and then some. MotorMavens just posted renderings of Conrad’s Camaro along with some fabrication shots that make us drool for more. We have all the pictures for you here as well that you can check out after the jump.
All the details are listed below but in short, this ‘Maro is getting blown via an LSA engine swap that will deliver over 600rwhp to the rear tire. That, on top of all the other goodies that allows this bad boy to kick its tail around a k-rail, makes us want more pics and now! We’ll definitely be sure to make a stop by the Hankook booth at SEMA and get tons of shots of this new Formula Drift entry.
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 www.conradgrunewald.com.
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.
