Early second-gens have had their time in the spotlight, but more and more of the later-year Camaros in that group are enjoying their rise in popularity. This ’81 Camaro built by Classic Performance shows off the potential of the platform. Some simple custom graphics flow with the shape of the body and also have their own ’80s vibe.
DSE suspension helps the Camaro handle and sit just right. Nineteen- and 20-inch wheels update the look and allow for big brakes, which are needed due to the powerplant. An LS9 mated to a T56 lays down plenty of power to make this a competent performer.
