New camaro ss
The new Camaro SS muscle car made its much anticipated launch in the first quarter of 2009. It is an early release of a 2010 model year Camaro. Full size pictures and the SS Camaro video are at the bottom of this page! The latest news is that this retro-styled long awaited new release is being offered in three trim levels. The LS, LT and super sport versions. And this is just the beginning despite General Motors financial troubles. The near future will bring a ultra high performance Z28 and a RS trim level convertible to the line up.

The LS will be the cheapest model and will most likely have Chevrolet's 3.5 L V-6 producing around 220 hp while knocking on the door of 30mpg. The LT model will have the 3.6 L V-6 that is slated to produce around 300 hp. And the Camaro SS will lead the pack with the 6.2 Liter V8 that is currently found in the base model Corvette. The 6.2 liter V-8 engine is currently producing slightly over 400 hp while delivering decent gas mileage in the low 20 mile per gallon range. General Motors is currently considering a super high performance Z28 muscle car model of this automobile. They are talking about installing the 6.2-liter LS9 motor. The LS9 motor is currently in the Corvette ZR1 and is supercharged producing a massive 638 hp. New Camaro SS drive trainIt will be hard to tell which transmission is in the vehicle by just looking at the console shifter. Both transmission offerings will have a similar looking baseball sized shifter knob, surrounded by a rubber boot. I could not find any information if the automatic will have a manual shift mode, but it sure seems like it would be a great idea to help boost sales of the automatic SS model.
The new Camaro SS should provide very interesting competition for the already developed Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang muscle cars. These vehicles had a large head start on the retro-high-performance American-made vehicle market. The advantage that Chevrolet has over their two competitors would be learning from their mistakes. And it would seem that Chevrolet has not only produced an excellent looking vehicle, but many character traits are preserved from the late 60s Camaros. Back then Chevrolet out sold both Dodge and Ford and history may repeat itself. The Camaro SS interior
It looks like from the latest pictures released that the interior of the SS Camaro will be very close to the concept car that we have been seeing pictures of for the last couple years. This speedometer and tachometer are round but housed into rectangular chrome edged bezels behind a three-spoke steering wheel. For me this brings back fond memories of the 1969 camaro dash set up. Easy to read with a quick glance down and also well lit for night driving.
But the console also contains four gauges mounted below the climate control system providing a very nice twist. These gauges will be large analog units that will report oil pressure, engine temperature, alternator output, and a new read out that will show engine torque output. This will give Chevrolet the opportunity to switch out these gauges for the Z28 model when it hits the market in a few years. Since the new Z28 will have a supercharged 6.2 LS9 motor Chevrolet may decide to put different gauges into the 4-pack cluster.
Chevrolet has a lot riding on this project. And they plan to go after the muscle car market full blast with extremely competitive pricing and fuel economy that far exceeds their competition. General Motors knows that we want fuel economy, but Americans do not want to give up horsepower. They are making their best attempt at providing a vehicle that suits these needs. The LT and LS models are targeted for the price range of $25,000. The new Camaro SS will be in the low $30,000 range. My closing thoughts about the new Camaro SS. Pontiac on the G8 has already tested the Zeta platform that is at the heart of this new vehicle. I would like to see the Buick platform Use this body style for a re-release of the Buick Grand National. Buick is holding its own as far as United States sales, but is gaining popularity in foreign countries. The Buick Grand National could be a big hit in these countries.
