TheSmokingTire – Modified Rental V6 Camaro – Video

 

TheSmokingTire didn’t love the fifth-generattion Chevy Camaro when it first came out; it took later chassis, suspension and power updates to bring them around. But that doesn’t mean the early cars don’t have potential. This V6 Camaro began its life as a rental car before its current owner decided to do some select modifications to improve the handling in the canyons.
