Love all the choices she made - Split bumper, color, wheels, exhaust, interior. And it can be a daily driver too. Perfect.

I like this car. It’s simple. Not like a lot of the others that are way over the top.

My thoughts exactly. Way to respect the original car while giving it a modern twist without turning it into Batmobile.

My favorite gen Camaro aesthetically speaking. Everything about this build is so perfect for that chassis & it's still a street car. Rips hard, sounds perfect. The combo of owner & ride is like sensory overload. Too good

[@w.g.121]

She's gorgeous!

[@davehall4226]

[@JaredR1996]

[@andrewipp426]

There is something so freaking cool that this young lady knows her car inside out every detail and spec, she put real thought into the build I love the Momo wood wheel and shifter knob the combo works so well with the wheels, paint and interior. 600 whp with a T56 is a killer setup for a 3200lb car, the sound and she is adorable too and obviously can drive the wheels off this beast! The car, her look and the fact she auto-crosses the car just adds to her gearhead status!

[@idaho2ndgens240]

I love this car and Laura is a true car enthusiast. Saw this car on a Speedtech interview and so glad you featured this car. I am in the process of building a '70 Camaro now, DSE tubs are in, new quarters and tail panel is done. Hope some day to put in the Speedtech torque arm with the Art Morrison front clip I have. LSX 427 is my goal, some day it will be on the road.....

[@offroadnut]

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

I had a 70 R/S Camaro that I let get away from me years ago... one of my biggest regrets throughout my time in the hobby . I used to be a purest where it came to hot rods in that they had to be "period correct' , but I've completely fallen in love with the "pro touring" aspect of the hobby & really wouldn't build anything but that style , moving forward . I hope to buy another 70 R/S someday soon but I'm currently invested in making my 1960 Chevrolet Biscayne an LS powered street beast & that dream of another Camaro will have to be put on hold a few more years. Gorgeous car , Laura ... hope to see you laying rubber sometime in the future.

the skeleton on the rear mirror is the last touch for a super cool car what I like the most is the deafening sound is amazing, specially on this no sound beginning era. Laura you know Your stuff, thanks for bring this muscle car to live.

[@rollin19]

These cars ride nice and corner pretty darn good. About 9 years back I drove 71 an all orignals RS around NY,mind you this before the car became popular. Everybody had their opinions about it,some would say the 67-69 is better and I was like yes they are nice but these are better,then some local actually bought the same car because he liked mine. I basically fixed it up and kept it in it's orignal state with the original engine, but tuned is so many times that it pretty much ran like it had fuel injection. I fixed it up to drive and enjoy while Id go to the car show and guys would tell me that theirs was apart in the garage but people wanted to see the car so I kept driving it. The concept was to do what most guys would not do,to show people can drive an orignal car and have fun without having to take it apart and let it sit for years. I broke down a few times,but it was the exprience of driving this car that made me understand how you can push these old cars. All the while never seen another one,but now in the last few years they are all over. Some would say they liked the way it looked all original while others would just tell me to get the body restored,either way I made a statemnt with the car. A very straight and good handling car until one night after a year and half of driving it,a deer decided to leap over the front end of the car,and he came up short. I hit his leg at about close to 70,pushed the bumper in,crushed the fender like an accordian,cracked the windshield which was replaced right before that. These cars are fun,they are light in weight,they handle good and they can be extremely fast but do not drive them at night time,it's risky with this type of car! To me its one of the best looking and designed sports cars gm has ever built.

[@damonmuse6567]

Damn. She absolutely nailed it. What a killer build!

[@chrisgray318]

Stumbled upon Laura and her Camaro on her Instagram a couple years ago and have followed her progress with her Camaro since. I’m a Ford guy but I have great appreciation for all well done cars regardless of the badge it wears and Laura’s car ticks all the boxes. It looks awesome in every aspect, the mods are all well thought out and executed really well and I just love that it’s simple and more importantly it gets DRIVEN and driven hard. Look forward to when you get to shoot Laura’s C10 project when that’s finished.

"You're badass Laura" A beautiful car for a beautiful woman/car geek. My dad taught me to drive in a '69 GTO when I was 13 and I am now lucky enough to own a 32 option numbers matching specimen now. But, unlucky in that there is no way I can modify it because of the rarity of it with the options. One of them is cornering lamps for $32 at the time of purchase and probably only a few with them. I wish I could resto-mod it but, I suppose if I did want to do a resto-mod GTO I might as well just start with a Le Mans and clone it.
