Detroit Speed & Engineering has done it again! They have built a top notch Pro-Touring ’72 Camaro<\/a> for a man who will definitely push it to the edge. Once again proving DSE’s aftermarket products are some of the best in the biz for early Mustangs and Camaros.<\/p>\n

Dale Jr. was looking for a functional, race inspired, and fun to drive 2nd Generation Camaro. He was looking for a Camaro that had design cues of a 1970’s Trans Am road race car.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Upgrades to the Camaro were LS2 Crate, 6 speed trans, roll cage, modern sound system, DSE Mini-Tubs, DSE QUADRA Link\u00e2\u201e\u00a2, 2nd Generation Hydroformed Subframe, and Subframe Connectors to increase the car’s stiffness. This car has a complete frame off restoration with just about everything upgraded. <\/p>\n
