It was only a matter of time before the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro hit the Nürburgring test track. GM has been using the German road course to fine-tune nearly all of its performance cars as of late, so the appearance of the Camaro alongside the 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 didn't surprise our spy shooters.
Unlike some of the earlier Camaro prototypes we've seen, this particular test mule has a set of Brembo brakes and a more aggressive wheel-and-tire package. The obvious conclusion? This is a Camaro Super Sport model. But not so fast, because when you consider that previous Camaro test mules have featured very tame-look brakes, this upgrade could indicate nothing more than the Chevrolet Camaro Z28.
Then consider the sound of this Camaro test mule. It's all motor, yet it doesn't have the same sonic signature as GM's supercharged LSA V8 that speculation indicates will be the centerpiece of the top-of-the-line Camaro SS. With 525 horsepower, the supercharged engine would give the SS a big advantage over both the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and the Ford Shelby GT500. But this prototype sounds like it probably has a normally aspirated V8, most likely a detuned LS3 V8 with somewhere around 400 hp.
Judging from the looks of this Camaro at speed, the suspension is already well dialed in. Roll, dive and squat are all pretty minimal for a car that's expected to have a curb weight in the range of 3,600-3,800 pounds. With the start of production for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro still a year away, the engineers at Chevrolet still have plenty of time to fine-tune this car, so these Nürburgring tests are just the beginning.

depends on how much ... ( 1 month ago by Tr1llobite)

depends on how much torque it has, usually the torque is about equal to it's horsepower rating, but that is still a decent number, then you also have to remember how much it weighs (which i don't know) and see if it even needs all that horsepower :D

Why are this ... ( 3 weeks ago by tikolyco)

Why are this companies going for the fucking BOX look? OMG!!! I'm a Camaro fanatic, but I just shed a tear watching this, it looks horrible!!! its like when I see a Scion on the road, I'm just like... WTF? why didn't they just put an engine and some rims on a shopping cart? I seriously thought they would keey the Camaro nice sleek and curvy and sporty looking like the Mid-late 90s models (like mine), I mean, yeah, change it up a bit, but not completely... they fucked up.

I know everyone ... ( 3 weeks ago by tikolyco)

I know everyone loves horse power, but I'm more into looking good then driving faster then hell, its not like I'm going to race down to work every morning or get into high speed chases every fucking day, you can't take full advantage of all this new beefed up cars anyways, once in a while maybe, but not for every day driving. Put a Corvett and a Boxy looking car together and see who picks up a chick first, the last thing she'll ask is "how many horse power u got under there?".

and before anyone ... ( 3 weeks ago by tikolyco)

and before anyone talks shit, I'm not saying its going to be a bad car, I'm sure its going to be a fast and comfortable ride, but its not much on looks.

the corvette looks ... ( 3 weeks ago by khrizmeister)

the corvette looks better than any car you could have in kind :) nothing is more consumistic-wise appealing to a girl than a sports car and even the dumbest and superficial of the chicks knows what a corvette is. and probably they would be willing to know how much power you have under the hood, if you know what i mean. haha ;D

i hate when people who know nothing of economics talk about GM going bankrupt. They won't if they don't want to. Here's why you dipshit GM haters: a. by closing plants, they cut supply, raise price, reduce their cost curve below their revenue curve and generate profit to be distributed to shareholders and a smaller work force b. the company becomes smaller and more dynamic, able to adapt to a changing market c. if they aren't bailed out u.s enters a full scale depression d. you suck cock

You're absolutely ... ( 4 days ago by IHateWarmPickles)

You're absolutely right, thank you. If GM was so broke why have they pulled out two badass cars this year Zr1 and the best car for the money the one and only Cts-V.

We're not money ... ( 4 days ago by IHateWarmPickles)

We're not money hungry like the Europeans, this year the Zr1 blows the Enzo out of the water for a tenth of the price.
