700hp LS7 1970 Camaro Pro-Touring Detroit Speed Built to Track

[@scarbourgeoisie]

THIS CAR just does it for me. Love everything about it. Second gen Camaro's rule.

[@AutotopiaLA]

YesyesyesyesyesYES!!!!

[@wkanost]

I will always be a Mopar guy but...I have a soft spot in my heart for these 70 - 73 camaros because my mom had a 71. I still remember going to the beach in that car and all the fun we had.

[@AutotopiaLA]

70-73 Camaro is my personal favorite muscle car

[@matthewmcclain1316]

My neighbor had one when I was kid. I used to sit on my porch at look at it for literally hours. He would do burnouts every once in a while and I loved it. One of my favorites cars

I’ll take mine with the split bumpers. There’s something that is so aesthetically appealing to me.

The early second gen Camaros and Firebirds are some of the prettiest shapes ever...I think they rival any Ferrari from the 60’s and early 70’s for pure beauty!

I love seeing that you're highlighting some badass cars in other parts of the country instead of just what is in CA. Awesome car from an awesome builder

[@AutotopiaLA]

We’re working on the AutotopiaLA Roadshow. We’re limited on budget for travel but will pull it off in springtime 2021. We can’t wait to shoot and show cars around the country...and the world!

[@robertc4311]

Another thing about this bad ass build...The DSE suspension really makes that car stick, but the spoilers on 1st and 2nd gens really help the car stick at speed. My first Camaro was a 1973 Type LT, and had no spoilers...at speed, the car was all over the road without them. If you add the rear only ( cause I broke a couple fronts on parking curbs) it pushes the rear down and the front still catches air. With both, the car really handles noticeably better. JMO.

[@deadstockz463]

I’ve always loved that front end on the second gen camaro with the single headlights and the solid bumper

[@OneThirtyTwoScale]

So pumped you featured Kyle tuckers 1970. Ive been waiting for this one for a while, always been a favorite in the pro touring / autocross scene

[@soyounoat]

This setup makes for the best looking gen 2 Camaro I have seen. The ride height and stance, tire width, and even the spoiler are just perfect. The driving character combined with the appearance make this Camaro a winner.

I auto crossed a 1970 1/2 Z28 from 1982 through 1990 in SCCA B Street Prepared. I never won an event. LT1 powered with the M22 and 4:11 rear end. 1 1/4 front bar, 3/4 rear with 850lb springs up front and an add a leaf in the rear. Lowered 1.5 inches. I used BF Goodrich R-1's and Hoosier tires. My cousin bought a 1985 Corvette Brand New 4+3 with the Z51 suspension and blew me away on his first event by .75 seconds also on R-1's that I gave him. Just sayin that the old muscle cars need updated suspensions to be competitive with what is now available even in the 80's.

Kyle Tucker is a true CAR GUY in every way! Showing everyone how to make a 50 year-old car perform like a modern car. DSE is a GREAT company headed by an equally GREAT guy!
