[source: Car and Driver] 2010 Chevrolet Camaro V6 LT vs. 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 Battle of the sixes: Who'd have guessed that the Camaro V-6's most earnest competitor would hail from from Ulsan, Korea, and not Detroit? 1. Camaro V6 LT Highs: Superb ride-and-handling trade-off, styling that guarantees smiles. Lows: Ugly dash graining, impossible to heel-and-toe, needs to lose weight. The Verdict: The first V-6 pony car we'd marry in a minute. 2. Hyundai Genesis 3.8 Highs: Tenacious grip, race-car brakes, fast-revving V-6. Lows: Can't be shifted smoothly, buck…

Did anyone catch the episode of Rides where the HHR gets customized by different teams? No?... well, here's some info with pics. HHR by Year One HHR by Unique Performance HHR by Darkside HHR by P Teaser My favorites: RWD V8 HHR's done by Year One and Unique Performance (I was just thinking that a RWD HHR would kick ass) Maybe somebody can post some of the pics into this thread, I know how much it sucks to open a thread and get no eye candy. Thanks. Thanks to HHR Club for posting the info, which I couldn't find anywhere else. Not that I tried that hard.

I have some speed stats for you. This vehicle runs 0-60 in 5.4 seconds. The quarter mile is eaten up in 14.1 seconds at a terminal speed of 99 mph. Am I talking about some 2-seater sports car? NOOOOOO... these are actual instrumented figures for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crewcab 4X4 High Country, with the blazing new 6.2L V8 engine. That is the definition of BAD.ASS.

Link to Article One of the most highly anticipated vehicles to be auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson this year was the first 2010 Chevy Camaro. There are very few instant classics these days, and this is one of them. There's still a month before actual series production of the car is slated to begin, but the winning bidder claimed the right to the very first retail production car that can be ordered in any color and with any options he chooses. Last year, it took exactly one-million dollars to win the hotly contested rights to the first 2009 Corvette ZR1, and this year $350,000 claimed the first edition of the newly-revived Camaro. Just as with last year's ZR1, all pro…

Too bad and a huge shame it is an American car. I wonder how much more it is going to cost Americans to buy this thing now that Trump has put 25% tariffs on CANADIAN aluminium and steel? (effective on March 12) Because I do NOT doubt one iota that Chevrolet uses CANADIAN raw materials for its supercar... Oh well, this PROUD CANADIAN is a lot less proud of this American sportscar now. If I had boat loads of CANADIAN looneys. Yeah...that's right! CANADIAN CASH, BABY!!! to buy me a sportscar, Id buy myself a Porsche now that my country NEEDS me to boycot ANYTHING American...

SUV with mind of its own wins robot car race Sun Nov 4, 2007 4:03pm EST By Peter Henderson VICTORVILLE, California (Reuters) - A souped-up Chevy Tahoe sports utility vehicle with a mind of its own was declared the winner of a robot car race on Sunday after it traveled without help from humans for six hours and 60 miles around a California ghost town. Nicknamed Boss, the vehicle from Carnegie Mellon University of Pittsburgh won a $2 million prize in the third such race sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense, which wants robots eventually to drive military supply vehicles. The entrants -- including station wagons and a huge green military truck all decked out with…

A couple of years ago, Chevrolet rolled out the Colorado ZR2 concept. This truck showed what a possible off-road focused model could look like. At the time, Chevrolet said this was only a concept. But some new spy shots show GM is considering putting this model into production. While the front end is camouflaged very well, we can make out certain details such as a new front bumper, tow hooks, and a skid plate. The bumper is an important change as the current one limits how far you can off-road. The suspension has been lifted (an inch or two we're guessing) and there is a set of meaty off-road tires. Engines choices are likely to be the 3.6L V6 and 2.8L Duramax fou…

Orginal (Bug guts and all...) Okay so I saw Mario's Camaro desktops and thought they were missing something... So I went through my archive (I save every GM Wieck Photo) and found a Camaro badge from the same angle and pasted it where the Chevy logo should be. (As in in the orginal it wasn't there.) I them removed all the big "bug spots" from the front end and edited the color slightly I also have it in 1440X900 (for wide-screen monitors) and or 1280X960, PM me if you'd like one of those size(s). I can't host the large than 1024X768 on photobucket. Take care and enjoy... Be sure to tell me how I did on the chop and what you think! :AH-HA_wink: I want the CAMARO NOW…

Chevrolet has revealed ahead of the DAYTONA 500 the Chevrolet Blazer EV.R prototype which is an example of their dedication to test, and explore new technologies as they learn how to apply the technology to both racing and production version auto's. Chevrolet has been a leading contender in NASCAR with proven V8 technology as they pushed to continually look for better ways to improve power, durability, and efficiency in then transfering that knowledge back to production vehicles that show up in the showroom. The Blazer EV.R prototype delivers 1,300 horsepower from three six-phase electric motors that instantly rev up to 15,000 rpms, power w…

Rumor Mill: V6 Corvette? Yech... Rumors of a V6-powered Corvette model have been floating around for years but weren't taken very seriously until Motor Trend decided to spend some ink on it a few issues ago and predict the six-cylinder model would revive the "Sting Ray" name. The model would basically be a Chevy-branded version of the Kappa roadster that GM has liberally passed out to such brands as Pontiac (Solstice), Saturn (Sky) and Opel (GT). Chevy's version would be different in that power would come from a V6 rather than an inline-four cylinder, and rumor has it that it would be badged a Corvette. Kind of sounds like a long shot, but Rick "Corvette" Conti, the #1…

Super Vette Spied! Again! Chevy’s 650-hp Corvette SS caught heading in for EPA testing AutoWeek | Published 11/06/06, 9:03 am et Link to full article and pics @ Autoweek Not even a month has passed since we first reported on Chevrolet’s plans for a super Corvette, a halo model well in excess of the already superb Z06. Judging by these spy shots, it appears assurances we were given earlier this year that the car was on the development fast track (“To Hell and Back,” May were right on target. These photos were taken by George Kachadoorian just outside of Ann Arbor last week. He suspects the car was headed in for EPA testing. While the hood scoop indicates t…

G. David Felt Alternative Fuels & Propulsion writer www.CheersandGears.com Chevy sent out tonight their Newsletter in which they showcased the Monte Carlo Masterpiece. This is a Modernized 1988 Monte Carlo SS with an LS376/525 V8 using a T-56 6 speed manual Transmission. This 525HP upgrade replaced the original 180HP with 4 speed automatic.

I have it from a reliable source that the GMX001 is due for a major refresh for MY08.

http://media.gm.com/us/chevrolet/en/produc...cars/index.html They have it marked under 2007 as '07 Camaro Concept, but it was actually a concept for 2006. Hmmm.

I don't know about everyone else, but I haven't been able to get a good idea on just how small these cars are yet. I just got off the phone with AH-HA and others who are on the show floor. They say the cars are B segment sized. In other words, they are Mini Cooper, Toyota Yaris, Chevy Aveo, Honda Fit sized. Maybe these pics with people around the cars will help:

This week, Hagerty obtained a document from General Motors' executive director in charge of program management, Michelle Braun that says development on future car and truck programs has been paused due to the COVID-19 outbreak. But the document also mentions some intriguing information on upcoming powertrains for the C8 Corvette. Here are the details, Corvette Z06: 5.5L DOHC V8 known as the LT6 that will produce 650 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. No mention of any type of forced-induction. Corvette Gran Sport: 6.2L OHC V8 with a hybrid system that's expected to produce 600 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. Corvette ZR1: Twin-Turbo 5.5L…

Here's a nice article reviewing all powertrain iterations for the Camaro: MT Article Needless to say... this put a smile on my face!

Decide for yourself... it would appear that MT likes the Malibu at least as well as the Accord: http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/car/11...let_malibu.html http://www.motortrend.com/oftheyear/car/11...nda_accord.html We won't know until there is actually a comparo, though. I expect all of the rags to have their own comparison of all the midsizers soon enough.

Cobalt was compared against a few others. It's not good. Edmunds

Does anyone know where a new Camaro would be built at? Im thinking Spring Hill TN, because of the rumors over the summer that the next generation Ion would be built in Lordstown Ohio. the lansing crafte center because the SSR might get axed in the next two years. Doraville Ga if they lose the minivans, maybe Oshwa ontario.. Wilmington Delaware could have some extra capacity..

"SS" Won't Go On Just Anything Anymore General Motors Corp. is rethinking the way its uses the SS moniker that has adorned souped-up Chevrolets since 1961. SS -- for super sport -- has traditionally signaled performance versions of vehicles like the Camaro, Impala and most recently the Cobalt sedan. The automaker felt it was getting a bit carried away with the label after putting it on the most recent version of the Malibu midsize sedan. So now only cars with the best horsepower, braking power and handling will get the title. It's part of GM's bid to stoke sales by building exclusivity into some models, a move the automaker hopes will burnish the overall image of a …

After countless spy shots, speculation, Transformers tie-ins, leaked photos and numbers comparisons, we've finally driven the 2010 Chevy Camaro. Does the reality match the hype? Well, it's like Star Wars. Asked on May 18, 1999 what my favorite movie was I, like many of my contemporaries, would have had an easy answer: Star Wars. Just one day later, with the release of Phantom Menace, that answer would change forever. It didn't make sense. Episode I, compared quantitatively to its predecessors and, according the huge amount of buzz surrounding it, must have been a much better movie. It had a bigger budget, benefited from modern technology, had really neat imaginary creat…

Just got back from NAIAS. Of course the Camaro was on the top of my list of cars to see. Looks great in person!! I was so so about the interior pics I saw on here and other websites but after seeing it in person it looks awsome!!!! After seeing the Challenger and the Camaro, the Camaro was SO much nicer inside and out. A lot better interior and more design/design features on the exterior. But the exterior will really come down to whether your a Mopar or GM musclecar fan (personally I liked the Camaro quit a bit more than the retromod Dodge). Here's some pics I took of it, got a half assed shot of the rear underside too (notice that the exhaust does not cross each other l…

By William Maley Staff Writer - CheersandGears.com March 13, 2013 The current Chevrolet Impala holds the title of being the queen of the fleet market. Last year, nearly 75% of the 169,351 Impalas sold went to the fleet market (about 127,013 vehicles). With the new Chevrolet Impala just around the corner, General Motors would not like to have a repeat of that. Chevrolet marketing chief Chris Perry said yesterday at the media launch of the 2014 Impala that Chevrolet will sell the old Impala to fleets for one more year. Those fleets looking to get their hands on the 2014 model will have to wait till next year. GM's goal is to drop fleet sales of the Impala to around 30%…

I just got home from the new york auto show. Now I have been infatuated by the Camaro Concept since I saw it but after actually seeing the car im awestruck. There really is a difference from seeing the pictures and seeing it in person. I asked for Scott Settlemire the girl said I just missed him and he would be there tomorrow. The girl who introduced the car was real informative and even made things interesting with some comments about the car. I was speaking to her after her presentation and I said I believed the car was already being worked on and she winked at me. I know everyone knows the car is a go, but I still like the hints she and other GM people dropped at the s…

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/19/this-is-your-best-look-yet-at-chevys-c7-corvette/ GM has really gone to lenghts to hide this car with camo even on the dash. The things to take here are the seats are seen. Also the Steering wheel and the C7 is next to a ZL1 to better judge the size. There is a shot of the rear hatch that looks like a more flat rear hatch with no wrap around to the opening part. The large rear center pipes with the 4 outlets are a nice touch. We should see more soon as this is following the same patter of GM photo leaks and bring the cars out to tease.

This is only personal speculation/hopes. My Speculation: Design: Front end will have one of two designs. One, quad headlights with a lower grille like the 4th Gen. Two, something like Horton's. Rear design will definitely have LEDs and the taillights will either be quad round ones or a panel lik…
