The install would be totally custom, so you can try whatever you want. Trick is finding a rack bwith enought travel, about 6", to keep the proper turning radius.

Maybe flaming river can make you a custom build? I've asked Steeroids and they said they don't offer custom jobs.

iīve found this rack:
http://www.flamingriver.com/index.php/products/c0014/s0005/FR40022 and i maybe seems to work with the camaro. they have the same travel length if not the flaming has a little bit more. what do you think about this?
