The #81 Stratagraph Camaro
http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/news/...?src=soc_fcbks
Think about America's presence at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. What comes to mind? It's probably a trio of Ford GT40s crossing the finish line, the ten-cylinder roar of an Oreca Viper GTS-R, or maybe even the black-and-yellow streak of C6.R. Those are our enduring memories. But there was another.
In 1982, a Chevrolet Camaro raced its way to immortality at Circuit de la Sarthe.

Re: The #81 Stratagraph Camaro
Thanks, must have missed the link. That second gen is crazy looking, like a cartoon. I could have identified the #81 as a third gen, but I don't think I would have been able to identify the #80 car.
