THR will start with either a V-6 Camaro LT or V-8 SS model using any stock color or a custom THR Jetstream Blue which the pictures depict.  Body modificiations include front splitter, fender hash marks, racing stripes, hockey stick graphics package, rear duck tail spoiler similar to the one on the Jr. Camaro concept at SEMA and matte-black-coated "tail panel".  All V-8 modified THR Camaros will receive a custom designed "SS Grille" replacing the OEM version.  Each and every THR Camaro will get a windshield header and special THR nameplates on the front fenders.

Performance modifications for both the V-6 and V-8 Camaro versions will include low-restriction exhaust system, cold-air intake system and a custom ECM tune.  For V-8 Camaros a set of long tube headers using an X-pipe will be optional.  The LS3 enginewill receive 1.85:1 rocker arms.  A power increase from the stock 422 hp to 440 hp should be the norm.  Down the line into 2010 Tom Henry Racing will offer customers supercharger options which will bump power over 500 horsepower.

In late March, Tom Henry Racing announced plans to market its own special-edition 2010 Camaro. The "Tom Henry Racing Camaro" will build on the reputation established by Tom Henry Racing (THR) when it built and sold the unique "Tom Henry SS" Camaro during 2001 and 2002.

This customized, performance-enhanced version of the new, 2010 version of Chevrolet's famed sports coupe will be sold exclusively by Tom Henry Racing, the high-performance subsidiary of Bakerstown, Pennsylvania dealer, Tom Henry Chevrolet.

"At Tom Henry Racing, we've always been partial to Camaro," Henry says. "Our special Camaros have always been more narrowly-focused products for hard core enthusiasts. The focus is on the look and feel of a road racing car. Our appearance upgrades and performance modifications are intended to give our customers that road race ambience."

During an announcement at his dealership 15 miles north of Pittsburgh, Henry laid out tentative plans for the next version of his company's specialized interpretation of the Camaro--a car for that iconic Chevrolet's most serious fans. One point which Henry drove home is that, unlike his company's last Camaro customizing effort, the new Tom Henry Racing Camaro program allows buyers more leeway in "cherry-picking" various appearance and performance enhancements to make just the "THRC" they want.

The Chevy hot rodders at THR will start with either the V6 Camaro LT or the V8-powered SS. You can have a Tom Henry Racing Camaro in any stock color along or a special extra cost, THR Jetstream Blue. On V8's, the stock grille will be replaced by a tricked-out "SS Grille" specially designed by Tom Henry Racing. A front splitter is an option and gives the car a very aggressive look from the front. Three more, optional, visual enhancements are planned, twin "racing" stripes, inspired by the popular look of the first generation Camaros, the Hockey-Stick stripe package popular on the '69s, or right front fender "hash marks" which carry on the visual tradition of the 1996 Grand Sport and the 2007 Ron Fellows edition Corvette Z06es.
