Stock Springs, Four Cylinders: The Camaro That Went the Distance in Tennessee

A Chevrolet Camaro was the car everyone talked about at Tennessee's Overmountain Rally, and the reason was what it lacked. It ran on the suspension it left the factory with, not a purpose-built rally setup. Under the hood were four cylinders, not the big engine the Camaro name usually brings to mind. Built that way, it reached the finish of an event ranked among the hardest on this season's calendar. That's the part worth noticing for anyone who keeps a Camaro in the garage. A car built much like theirs took on one of the year's roughest rallies and made it to the end. The success came in Tennessee, and it belongs to an American car.
