A unique "design innovation" implementd by Roger Penske and Mark Donohue on this Camaro was to devise a way to cool the rear disc brakes and reduce drag. They drilled holes in the front and rear of the driver's and passenger side doors, the door jamb and the inner fender well in front of the rear tires. This allowed cool air to travel through the body of the car to the back wheels.
