Camaro z28

Camaro z28
After the Camaro Z28 was all but confirmed as fact rather then rumor (despite most folks already knowing it was on the way) by GM’s Karl Stracke, it looks like the this modern rendition of the Z28 is going to be a real stormer.Word has it that it will use a 6.2L supercharged V8 packing an explosive 550+bhp, giving it enough horses to run with the likes of the Ford Mustang GT500, and at the same time possibly making buyers for the Ford take an extra moment to consider their purchase decision.The Camaro Z28 is taking shape rapidly as the months pass, with an apparent scheduled release date of early 2011, we believe the car must be in its final stages of tweaking before oiling up the production line to starting putting the pieces together of one of the most exciting muscle cars we have seen for a little while.Were expecting some more details on the specification anytime, along with some shots of the completed car, but we’re salivating already at the prospect of the Camaro Z28, with all the green focus currently taking over the motor industry its great to see monstrous muscle cars still being developed and put into production.

Camaro

Camaro
Chevrolet Camaro was introduced in North America by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors in the early 1967 model, the competition for the Ford Mustang. Although they are small cars (by the standards of the time), Camaro, Mustang a whole bunch of competitors, soon known as a pony car. It can also serve as intermediaries for cars, sports cars or muscle cars classified. The machine has the same engines General presented the main elements of the platform and the Pontiac Firebird, also in 1967, F-Body. The production of both cars ceased in 2002. Although the car was absurd artificial, GM find a word in a French dictionary as a slang term for a friend or companion. Ford Motor Company researchers discovered other definitions, including the creation of similar to the shrimp, and word tarry stools soft. In some automotive periodicals first officer was code-named Panther. Historical examples of pressure product manager for automotive Chevrolet Camaro, which is, ', the reaction to Smile, a small wild animal that eats Mustangs, called reference next to the Ford Mustang competitor. Although it has never been a beacon Chevrolet Camaro, which was for many years one of the most popular models. If the frequent inclusion of car enthusiast magazines is any indication, the Chevy Camaro is one of the most popular vehicles on the changes in history.

Camaro Sets Pace for the U.S. Sports Car Segment


Chevrolet Camaro extended its lead in the U.S. sports car segment in February, posting 6,482 total sales. This is a 21 percent increase over January results, and marks the ninth consecutive month that Camaro total sales outpaced sports car models including the Ford Mustang, Nissan 370Z, and Dodge Challenger.

Consumers have bought nearly 75,000 Camaros since it was launched in early 2009, and demand continues to hold steady even in winter months.

“Traditionally, we expect to see a dip in sales for rear-wheel-drive performance cars over the winter,” says John Fitzpatrick, Chevrolet Performance Cars marketing manager. “But, demand for Camaro shows no sign of slowing down, particularly in the Sun Belt” Texas, California and Florida account for about 25 percent of all Camaro retail sales, and six of the top 10 U.S. dealers for Camaro sales are located in Texas.

Importantly, Camaro continues to attract new customers to Chevrolet. Of Camaro buyers who traded-in a vehicle at the time of purchase, about half traded-in a non-GM vehicle.


Camaro Kicks Mustang’s Derriere. Again!
Nine months running, the original pony car loses the sales race?
by Ken Zino on Mar.05, 2010
Year-to date, it’s Camaro, 11,853 in sales and Mustang at 9,862.
More importantly from a trend line point of view, Chevrolet Camaro has now outsold the Ford Mustang for nine consecutive months – while being production constrained all the way.
Ford seems to be taking a “wait until next year” attitude?



GM’s Oshawa, Canada, Assembly Plant has been running Saturday overtime since June 2009 to keep up with demand for Camaro.
Where, oh where, is now retired Ford sales executive Bob Rewey, when Ford needs him, Mustang aficionados might ask?

With this ongoing rout, there is no doubt that Rewey, who arguably moved more metal than any other Ford sales executive since Lido Anthony Iacocca, would be on the phone with key dealers and pushing through the packages and promotions that would — at the very least – let Alan Batey, the new vice president, sales and service at Chevrolet, know that this ball game is going into extra innings.
Moreover, it’s not only the Mustang in Camaro’s rearview mirror. Such formidable competitors as the Nissan 370Z, at 1,372 sales YTD and Dodge Challenger, 3,828 YTD, are eating Camaro dust as well.

2010 Automotive Excellence Awards Best Vehicle Design: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro


Popular Mechanics Best Vehicle Design Award: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro





Best Vehicle Design: 2010 Chevrolet Camaro
By The Editors
Published in the December 2009 issue.
Popular Mechanics....

After a painfully long eight-year hiatus, the Chevy Camaro returns packing V8 power and V6 efficiency wrapped around classic sheet metal pulled forward into the 21st century. The design certainly pays homage to the past, but the muscular lines of this Camaro are modern and fresh.
The success of a new car design, especially a sporty one, depends on its ability not just to turn heads, but to inspire an almost primal lust in everyone from a college kid to his grandfather— hitting all the age groups in between. The new Camaro does just that—and it’s become one of the few cars outside the supercar ranks that will almost always elicit a conversation at the gas pumps.
Under the watch of GM design boss Ed Welburn, Chevy imagined the new Camaro as a thoroughly modern take on the 1967 original. And it looks amazingly close to the 2006 concept car. GM engineers somehow avoided the compromises that tend to dilute a designer’s original
vision as it makes its way into production. The inset front grille and the outboard round headlights offer a real link to that first Camaro, yet the big wheels and taut proportions perfectly convey 21st-century muscle.
Good design extends to the interior too: The view through the windshield is 1960s cool, yet it’s the subtleties that make this car feel so right. Of course, a Camaro wouldn’t feel right at all if there wasn’t some serious firepower under the hood. The top-dog SS models have a big 422-hp 6.2-liter V8, and even the base cars receive a potent V6 that returns 30 mpg highway.
The real triumph is that all the Camaro’s performance and intelligent design can be had for just a tick over $20,000. That’s a bargain.
