The Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R will debut this weekend at the Pirelli World Challenge race in St. Petersburg, FL. The GT4.R is campaigned by the Illinois-based Blackdog Speed Shop and driven by Lawson Aschenbach and Tony Gaples. In addition to the Pirelli World Challenge's GTS class, the GT4.R will also be entered in the Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge's Grand Sport Class, and its debut in that series will be at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, in May.

Chevrolet says the GT4.R is based on the production ZL1 1LE track-day special. In production guise, the ZL1 1LE is gunned by a 650-horsepower, supercharged LT4 engine coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox. But it's the improved aero along with the track-adjustable suspension that really shows off its racing chops. The hungry, aggressive front is festooned with air deflectors and dive planes to give the car more of the downforce it needs, and in stock form the rear wing affords it 300 pounds of downforce. The production ZL1 1LE even features Multimatic Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve dampers that give it pitlane-adjustable ride height and camber.

Lingenfelter Chevrolets Light Up the 2017 Chicago Auto Show

Stock cars can be boring sometimes. Sure, there are plenty of hot wheels at the 2017 Chicago Auto Show, but these three cars by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering are superior rides. First up is the 2017 Lingenfelter Chevrolet Corvette Z06. The red beast packs a V-8 engine that delivers a whopping 800 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. The coupe also sports the optional Z07 performance package and carbon ceramic brakes.© Automobile Magazine Staff 2017 Lingenfelter Chevrolet C7 Z06 Corvette Coupe The second car on display is a 2017 Lingenfelter Supercharged Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

In track livery, the sheer effectiveness of the Camaro's aero and design enhancements might be lost. Still, looking at the rear of the car, the black paint on the rear fascia almost looks like a football player's eye black grease menacingly applied on game day.
