Camaros to Cobras: American Pushrod Power at the Rolex Motorsports Reunion

Monterey Car Week is not all about the imported exotics. You can find fine domestic cars at plenty of venues all across the peninsula, even at the exclusive Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. However, American V-8 muscle shines at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion where Trans Am cars from Chevrolet, Ford, Pontiac, AMC, and Dodge rev out a small-block symphony and Corvettes and Monzas pit their pushrods against flat-six Porsches. There were plenty of big V-8s making noise as well, as 427 Corvettes rumbled down the Corkscrew, battling against Cobras. We'll dig into the technical details of some of these race engines a bit later. For now, enjoy some of our favorite shots from historic Laguna Seca.
