Richard Childress Racing is one of the best names on the racetrack, and those in the know also remember there was an RCR Street Performance division. And this 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS Supercharged Richard Childress Racing RC2 Edition is a one-of-one that celebrates the best of both its competition history and mind-blowing street performance.
Richard Childress Racing (RCR) is just as much a keeper of the Dale Earnhardt legacy as Dale Jr (that's why they both signed the dash.) That's why this special Camaro looks so right with a tribute to The Intimidator. The color theme is a sleek factory back with silver accents and red perimeter striping. So it doesn't need a big #3 on the door or all those classic sponsor decals to already let you know this one is doing it for Dale. And more than an awesome race car color package, this one earns its intimidation with a prominent chin spoiler, blacked-out grille, NASCAR-inspired rear spoiler, blacked-out tail lights, and a custom sculpted style hood. RCR even has its own set of unique 20-inch alloys that let you get a nice look at the complete brake package within. And everything looks so clean because this car has less than 18k miles. In fact, you know they kept it to quite a high standard because the car was a promotional piece and won its class at the 2013 Detroit Autorama.
The interior continues the thoughtful style. The black with gray upholstery and carpeting is similar to the exterior color theme. And the red carbon fiber accents bring the full-color package together. There are also RCR logos embroidered on the headrests and floor mats and the signatures on the dash to remind you how special this coupe is. While this is desirable for its uniqueness, you'll also really appreciate how this is a loaded modern machine. You get cold-blowing air conditioning, power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, power steering, and cruise control. Plus, you get an awesome Boston Acoustics stereo system. We all love the retro-cool gauges that give you the large speedo and tach up front with the classic quad auxiliary readouts in the center console. But your favorite gauges will likely be the modern head-up display ideal for performance driving.
Under the hood lives the 6.2-liter fuel-injected LS3 V8 now topped RCR aluminum heads and an awesome polished supercharger on top. It inhales deeper with a Roto-Fab cold air intake system. And the mighty V8 exhales with authority as headers feed the special free-flow catalytic converters into the dual exhaust and Billy Boat mufflers. The full package is said to make a whopping 720 horsepower! So they upgraded the six-speed manual transmission with a Hurst short throw shifter, twin disc high-performance clutch, and a billet steel flywheel. They have also upgraded the fully independent suspension, including thick PFADT sway bars. And stopping power is upgraded with special RCR four-wheel power disc brakes by Wilwood.
We love RCR builds because they know how to deliver a quality speed machine. So if you want power, history, and rarity, don't miss this coupe. Call now!
