Putting together a potent pro-touring package isn’t all about big wheels, brakes, and a glossy paint job. It goes way beyond that. Case in point, Wegner Motorsports’ naturally aspirated Second-gen Camaro.  Trust us, there was no shortage well-built sleds at PRI. Beginning with an already potent rear-drive platform, Wegner’s ride was certainly a cut above the rest of the vehicles located in the car corral area at this years PRI 2011 show. It instantly caught our attention.

Obviously, in the pro-touring game, looks alone won’t get you to the finish line. Yeah, it may look great, but if it doesn’t scoot along a straightaway, have the confidence to brake late, and stay flat mid-turn, all that look is for nothing. Wegner made sure their build stood above the rest and left no chance of anybody questioning its ability to track properly.

Wegner didn’t leave anything unchecked and when it came to powering this sled, they chose the reliable LS powerplant. More specifically, Wegner went after it in full-force by dropping in a fully built GM LS3 416ci mill. Beginning with an aluminum LS3 block, it was machined and blueprinted and stuffed with a complete, forged rotating assembly. Callies provided a large amount of swing courtesy of their crankshaft as well as a set of their bulletproof rods, too.

Slugs consist of JE and were wrapped in a set of their high-tech rings. Digging further, at its heart sits a complete COMP Cams custom ground ‘stick, GM hydraulic roller lifters and 3/8-inch pushrods. For lungs, Wegner dropped on a set of LS3 (square port) GM cylinder heads, which included SS light weight valves, endurance valve springs, and a set of lightweight steel locks and retainers.

Adding to its muscle, Wegner Motorsports also added its LS Pro Toruing Diamond Cut Accessroy Drive to its build. The kit includes an ATI Racing Super Dampner, heavy duty Gates tensioner and belt, Powermaster amp, Maval GM power steering pump,  and even AC. Wegner made sure it was strong enough to hold up to even the most severe track conditions. For that, they placed its entire design on a CAD system and spit the final version out with CNC-machined brackets and pulleys.

Wegner Motorsports pulled off an amazing build that looks as well as it performs. It’s just a shame we weren’t able to see the car in action. For more of Wegner Motorsports’ products, be sure to check out their site. We’re pretty sure you’ll be impressed.
