Nothing quite satisfies the soul as watching a Chevrolet El Camino race against a Nissan Silvia in Formula D competition. Is the ElCy out of its element? Sure, it’s not a late-model Japanese pocket rocket, but it’s light, rear-wheel-drive, and seems to have no problem with going slideways.
In the video below, shot circa 2005, we see Formula D racers Mike Peters (El Camino) and Chris Forsberg (Silvia) dueling through four rounds, with the Nissan coming away as the victor. Sadly, being 2013, there are currently no more El Caminos racing in Formula D. Maybe HSV can do something about that with the Gen-F Maloo R8…
