Default Flared ‘70 Camaro With Hotchkis Suspension

We love this ’70 Camaro built by Spectre Performance. It’s a great throwback to the early 80’s when flared Camaros roamed the streets and it brings back fond memories of the early days of Trans Am racing. We were very flattered when Spectre came to us for suspension.



This Camaro really tears up the track with its ultra wide tires and a bunch of Hotchkis suspension components.





Check out the SpeedHunters.com article on this beast!

Very cool car! I love it too. Do the little "ribs" on the roof really do much, other than detract from a very clean roof line? Other than those it's perfect to my eye!

I thought those were for mounting cameras, the bottom pic looks like there's a camera on the passenger side.

Maybe, but still think they look out of place and ruin the roof lines.

I think they were trying to either make it look modern or do something like the roof rails on a stock car. I don't see that car going 200mph in a corner though.

Well all 2nd gens look like Vegas Joe, or should I say all Vegas look like 2nd gens? They were designed to look like 2nd gens when they were introduced, so the family similarities aree pretty strong.

Yeah, it's like the miniature version lol. No, just with those flares it makes the body look small?

I always had a hankering for a V8 Vega in a '71 to go with my Camaro!
