Chevy “SS” is the Chevy FC body in 2026??

[Custom Body Fan]

Per the release on Team Force’s 2026 crew chiefs, it mentions the Chevy SS will be the car for the Force FCs https://nitromater.com/articles/joh...neup-for-nhra’s-75th-anniversary-season.2121/

While I know GM stopped making Camaros, they also don’t make an SS (and when they did it was only raced in NASCAR.). Wonder what their rationale is, and will they just keep using all of the Camaro headlight and grill stickers?

Prock and Beckman referred to them as that in their first interviews all last year. I wondered why as well.

Well if you look around none of the cars resemble their counterparts. If it wasnt for the stickers you would not know which is which.

I wonder if the pro stock Camaros are now going to be called SSs also?

Starting last year, NASCAR teams could run the Camaro ZL1 body without any Camaro branding and now for 2026 that body has received an update. It's branded as the Camaro ZL1 Racecar. To cover homologation rules, that update package is available for the no longer produced Camaro ZL1 road car.

Crazy. I think this is might be more of a problem for Nascar then Nhra. They both have always used brand loyalty for factory support but it seem bigger today in Nascar. Gm does not make a car today that fits the bill except maybe Cadillac. Going to be interesting, eventually they have to stop using a name plate that is not in production.

Hopefully in a few years Camaro gets resurrected. Tough living in a world of no Camaro's
