| The 2010 LS3 powered Camaro SS puts GM back in the American PonyCar wars. Versus the Iconic Ford Mustang GT and the resurrected Hemi powered Dodge Challenger. A market that GM has not competed in since the discontinuation of the the 400hp LS2 powered 6.0 liter Pontiac GTO and LS1 powered 5.7 liter Camaro Z28, Formula V8 and WS6 "Ram-Air" Trans Am. Thanks to a loyal Camaro following and publications like GM High-Tech performance for leading the cause, GM listened, built the 2006 Camaro Concept, and in the summer of 2008 officially stated that the Camaro Concept would be a reality in early 2009, as sales would begin for the 2010 Camaro. Built on the new GM global rear-drive platform, offered up would be a 300hp "economy version" V6 powered RS model (thats right, a 300hp V6, nuts huh?), and the Big Brother "performance version" 400hp V8 SS (Super Sport) model. Thats almost 100hp more than the Blue Oval's revised 2010 315hp PonyCar. But Ford was not going to sit back and let The General and the Dodge Boys have all the glory... But thats another topic on another page... (Mustang fellas can click here for the new 400+hp'd 5.0 Mustang GT) - A 3.6L DI VVT V6 engine with a 300hp and manual six-speed transmission is standard on LS and LT models. Choose the available six-speed automatic with TAPshift to achieve an estimated 26 mpg highway. - A 6.2L V8 with a 400hp with six-speed automatic transmission with TAPshift includes Active Fuel Management technology to achieve 23 mpg highway. - For the top-of-the-line, the 6.2L V8 with manual six-speed transmission produces a projected 422hp. - Four-wheel independent suspension system, including a 4.5 link rear suspension. - Variable-rate power steering with the rack mounted forward of the front axle for better weight balance and greater driver feel. - Four-wheel disc brake systems with ABS standard on all models, including four-piston Brembo calipers on SS models. - StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System with traction control standard on all models. - Competitive/Sport modes for the Stabilitrak system offered on SS models, including launch control on SS. models equipped with the six-speed manual transmission. - Robust body structure and exceptional build quality. |
