This just in! You heard it FIRST from MotorMavens.com!!! Some of our readers may remember Luke Loneberger’s Chevy LS1 turbo-engined S14 from our All Star Bash and Megan Racing Competition stories. Well, apparently we were just given the green light to release the big news that we’ve been keeping under our hats for the past couple months! Los Gatos, California based Luke Loneberger will be building Conrad Grunewald’s new competition car for the 2010 Formula Drift season – a brand new Chevrolet Camaro SS, with Hankook as the tire sponsor.

Apparently all of Conrad’s work as a driving instructor at Skip Barber Racing School and his unmistakable presence when driving the Tanaka Racing Corvette in Formula D last year has finally paid off. Let’s also not forget – Conrad isn’t a stranger to the Formula D podium! We have photos to prove it!

Thanks to Andrew and Conrad from CG Racing, we’re able to present you with these sneak peek photos on MotorMavens.com!

Before I even picked up my 2000 Suzuki TL1000R, I had the dealer swap the stock units for a set of D&D carbon fiber race cans, and though I never got around to changing the mufflers on my XJ6—I was totally happy with its exhaust note—when I get a new ride, the first thing I’m going to do is put a Magnaflow on it. Lately, the company has been busy developing units for all the new muscle cars, and its posted the results of its efforts over on StreetFire. You can check out how the ’09 Challenger sounds below, but there’s also plenty of of other audio-porn featuring the Mustang GT, Camaro SS, Corvette ZR1,  Pontiac G8 and BMW M5 on its profile page. Head over and have a listen.
