This week's Readers' Car of the Week is 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Pro-Touring. Apparently the Camaro is ideal for a Pro-Touring restoration, and this car has had quite a few upgrades. Actually rather a lot of upgrades. And what is Pro-Touring? Essentially it's extensive modernisation, making classic muscle as fast or faster than modern sports cars: "taking the best of the original muscle car and fitting additional modern components to function and compete with most modern performance cars."
This specific Camaro is rocking a 427 cubic-inch V8 mated to a five-speed manual; as standard this engine makes 535hp and 517 lb-ft but PHer 'Boyzee' has then added a new cam and different heads. Oh, and a 175hp shot of nitrous...
Sadly we don't have a video or full dyno run data yet but hopefully we can hear and see more of this beast very soon. Top work that man!
