Earlier this year, General Motors officially went back to selling the Chevrolet Camaro after ending production of the sports car in 2002. With a new design, more power and a strong heritage, the Chevrolet Camaro is speeding past the Ford Mustang to become Detroit’s muscle car sales leader.

The new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro outsold the new Ford Mustang by 3,000 units last month, the fifth consecutive month that the Camaro has beaten the Mustang since it went on sale this spring.  GM says that the Camaro may even outsell the Mustang altogether this year, which would be the first time the Chevy model has topped its Ford rival since 1985.

Through October, GM has sold 47,233 Camaro units, 9,237 less than the Mustang.

The Camaro “definitely could overtake Mustang as the segment leader by the end of the year,” Susan Docherty, GM’s vice president of U.S. sales said. “We will hopefully do that with only nine months worth of sales versus 12.”

Ford, on the other hand, doesn’t seem too bothered. “I don’t think Mustang sales would have been much different one way or another,” said George Pipas, Ford’s top sales analyst.

When General Motors kicked off sales of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro earlier this year, it hoped that most customers would opt for the V6 LS and LT trims. However, based on Edmunds.com’s estimates, two-thirds of the 47,233 Camaro units sold from April 2009 to October 2009 have been V8 SS models.

The Chevrolet Camaro with a V6 is rated at 18/29 mpg (city/highway), while the Chevrolet Camaro with a V8 is rated at 16/25. GM was hoping that strong V6 sales would help it raise its Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE). The automaker even priced the entry-level Camaro LS at $23,530, making it a bang-for-your-buck purchase for a rear-wheel-drive car with 304-hp.

Nonetheless, Vice Chairman Bob Lutz says that the V6 Camaro coupes actually cost GM as much to build as the V8 version, so the company is content that most sales have come from the Camaro SS.

At the 2009 SEMA Show earlier this month, Jay Leno unveiled his twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L V6 Chevrolet Camaro. With the help of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers, output was taken up to a total of 425-hp. Apparently, when the turbochargers aren’t being used, there is virtually no loss in the fuel-economy of the base 3.6L V6 engine. Sounds pretty cool huh?

Well, according to GM’s Bob Lutz, Chevrolet may “perhaps” do a twin-turbocharged version of the Camaro. Nothing is confirmed but the “perhaps” does leave the door open for some turbos in the upcoming Z28. Pervious reports have suggested that the Camaro Z28 will get the 557-hp 6.2L supercharged V8 from the Cadillac CTS-V.

Lutz also confirmed that the Camaro Synergy concept will enter production along with an all-black special-edition model.

While most people who retire spend their life golfing or living in a beach house, 101 year old Virgil Coffman likes living in the fast lane. The centenarian recently became the oldest known owner of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. Which Camaro did he purchase? A 400-hp, bright yellow, Transformers edition Camaro SS.

“Impressed by the overall design, Virgil was ultimately sold on the cars’ easy handling. After owning nearly 40 cars in his lifetime, he follows the philosophy that if you want something, get it,” GM said in a statement. “These days Virgil says he can’t go anywhere without strangers asking him about his car and he’s already planning road trips for next summer.”

Coffman has officially became our favorite 100+ year old person.

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is back in the egmCarTech garage – however, unlike the V8 Camaro SS we previously tested, this Camaro carries a 304-hp 3.6L V6 mated to the Aisin Warner AY6 6-speed manual transmission.

First Impressions: It’s yellow like Bumblebee but it doesn’t have the black stripes nor does it have the Transformers package. While we would have loved to test the V6 Camaro mated to a Hydra-Matic 6L50 and see how it manages to hold up to its EPA rated fuel-economy of 18/29 mpg (city/highway) – as enthusiasts, we never give up a chance to get behind a manual transmission and test the car’s performance to its limits. When compared to its rival the base V6 2010 Ford Mustang, the V6 2010 Chevrolet Camaro really sticks out. While the V6 2010 Mustang only makes 210-hp, the V6 Camaro makes a respectable 304-hp with a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft. Opt for the manual transmission and the performance of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro LS and LT model is sure to put a smile on your face.

Our test 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT carries a total vehicle price of $29,270. Base pricing starts at $26,875 and the RS Package (20-inch wheels, HID headlamps with a halo ring, RS tail lamps and a rear-spoiler) adds $1,450 to the final price.

Ask us all the questions you want about the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2LT while we’re test-driving it this week and we’ll be sure to answer as many as we can.

This week at the 2009 SEMA Show, Chevrolet is showing off five new Camaro concepts, one which is a race-ready, twin-turbocharged V6 from Jay Leno and the one we’re interested in the most. As you can see from the pictures, the Jay Leno Camaro is one of the most radical looking Camaro concepts at SEMA this year – it almost makes us dream of a production Camaro Z28.

Power for Jay Leno’s Camaro comes from a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L V6 found in the Camaro LS and LT models. The Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers take horsepower up to 425. When the turbochargers aren’t being used, there is virtually no loss in the fuel-economy of the base 3.6L V6 engine.

“Jay’s Camaro offers style, performance and efficiency in a big way,” said Dewar. “It delivers the power of a Camaro SS on demand, but with the fuel economy of a V-6.”

Additional touches to Jay Leno’s Camaro include Brembo six-piston brake package, pedders coil-over lowering kit, new front fascia with custom fog lamps and integral brake cooling vents and air extractor-style hood.

Check out other Camaro’s being shown at SEMA in the press release posted after the jump.

The Jay Leno Chevrolet Camaro (2009 SEMA):

Press Release:

Camaro Extravaganza

November 03, 2009 – LAS VEGAS – Chevrolet unveiled five dramatic Camaro concepts at the annual automotive aftermarket extravaganza known as the SEMA Convention, each representing a different vision of style, personalization and performance.

The Camaro concept vehicles include:

* A race-ready, twin-turbocharged V-6 concept built for talk show host and auto enthusiast Jay Leno
* The Camaro Synergy concept that reveals a new, limited-production exterior color for spring 2010 and is accented with a number of production accessories and custom touches
* The Camaro Chroma, an SS-based concept with a number of future accessories
* The Camaro Dusk, which incorporates current and proposed accessories to create a contemporary tuner aesthetic
* Camaro Graphics, highlighting six proposed accessory graphics packages, with online voting by the public to gauge interest in potential future production of one or more of the packages.

“During the annual SEMA Convention, the popularity of a new car can be easily judged by the number of ‘tuner’ versions used by various companies to showcase their latest products; and the Camaro is our runaway hit this year, with countless examples displaying everything from mild styling accessories to wild performance modifications,” said Brent Dewar, vice president, Global Chevrolet Brand. “We’re thrilled by all the creative ideas, but especially proud of the cars we developed in-house. They represent modern interpretations of the Camaro that could easily be created by owners using the accessories offered by Chevrolet.”

Many of the Camaro accessories can be ordered through Chevy dealers for installation at the time of the vehicle’s purchase. This allows customers to personalize their cars to their exact wishes, with installation handled by the dealer and the cost rolled into the monthly payments.

Camaro Synergy:

The Camaro Synergy concept previews a new Synergy Green production exterior color that will be offered on a special-edition Camaro in the first half of 2010. It also features a host of the latest Camaro accessories offered through Chevy dealers. They dramatically enhance the performance appearance of the car, demonstrating the personalization possibilities open to Camaro owners. Designers took liberties with the accessories, creating a totally unique package. Details include:

* 21-inch wheels, with a black center finish and polished rim
* Ground effects kit
* Cyber Grey Rally hood stripes
* High wing rear spoiler (future accessory)
* Performance air intake

The ground effects include pronounced rocker moldings, a rear diffuser-type styling piece and a front spoiler. They, along with the rear wing spoiler and rally stripes, are finished in the production Cyber Grey color, although the ground effects and spoiler can be painted to match the exterior of the car. The Rally stripes are adhesive-backed and are offered in grey, black or white. They’re part of a broader range of heritage-inspired graphics that also include “hockey stick” stripes for the front fenders.

Chevy designers further enhanced the concept with a Pedders coil-over lowering kit and a set of large, Brembo brakes, as well as color-coordinating the Jet Black interior with Synergy Green accent stitching, piping and other accents. The lowering kit, brakes and interior accents are not among the accessories offered for the Camaro, but represent common and popular aftermarket upgrades. Chevrolet will gauge public interest in the features for possible inclusion in future accessory offerings.

Camaro Chroma:

It looks like the custom creation of a tuner shop, but the Camaro Chroma simply demonstrates how carefully selected accessories available through Chevy dealers can create a look like nothing else. The Camaro Chroma is based on an SS/RS model in Summit White and uses a combination of current and not-yet-released components, including:

* A new silver stripe package
* 21-inch wheels (future product, with silver-painted spoke centers and a Victory Red stripe)
* “Blade” rear spoiler (future product)
* Summit White ground effects package
* Rear fender vent graphics
* Accessory front grille with body-color outer frame (future accessory)

“With its silver graphics on the Summit White paint, this car has a tailored, tone-on-tone appearance that is simultaneously racy and subdued,” said Todd Parker, design manager, GM Accessory Studio. “It is a sophisticated-looking car that is easily duplicated by any customer, because all of the parts are available to build it.”

From a performance standpoint, the Camaro Chroma’s standard LS3 V-8 engine is equipped with current accessories, including a performance intake, shorty headers and performance exhaust system. There’s also a Victory Red engine cover and a Hurst short-throw shifter for the six-speed manual transmission, as well as red-painted Brembo brake calipers.

Inside, the black-and-grey leather seats feature red accent stitching, as do the shifter boot, floor mats and door trim. Accessory inserts for the dashboard and door panels (in silver) are also included as available accessories.

“What’s great about the Camaro Chroma is it speaks to the almost unlimited possibilities that the accessories offer,” said Parker. “You can build your Camaro mild or wild, but build it your way.”

Camaro Dusk:

Inspired by the style of young, urban professionals, the Camaro Dusk concept rolls with a contemporary tuner aesthetic. It is understatedly aggressive looking, with a lowered ride height, new 21-inch wheels, the rear spoiler from an SS model and a custom ground effects package.

“This is a car with an international flair, bringing the Camaro to a place it hasn’t traditionally been,” said Parker. “It is a very tailored look that is stylish and sophisticated, but with a distinct American accent.”

The ground effects package includes a racing-inspired front splitter, rocker extensions and a rear diffuser. They are prototype parts that may enter production as dealer-available accessories at a later date; the same goes for the 21-inch wheels from BBS. Many of the details, such as the taillamp and fog lamp bezels, match the finish of the wheels, lending a more premium look to the car.

The Camaro Dusk’s body is painted Berlin Blue, while the ground effects are painted a contrasting color. Additional performance items include the exhaust system and Brembo brakes from a Camaro SS (with painted calipers). The interior is trimmed in stylish Jet Black and Sedona, with complementing features including footwell lighting, premium door sill plates and other details.

Today’s young professionals expect advanced technology and premium audio options and this concept delivers with a crisp, well-tuned Boston Acoustics sound system, WiFi connectivity and a convenient cradle for an iPhone.

Camaro Graphics
Camaro designers dreamed up half a dozen proposals for accessory graphics packages, with the intent of soliciting feedback from Camaro enthusiasts for possible production. Chevrolet then launched the graphics campaign in mid-October, asking Camaro fans on Facebook to pick their favorite design.

The top four designs were produced and brought to the SEMA Convention, where a Silver Ice Metallic Camaro will wear each contender on a different day. At the conclusion of the convention, after thousands of enthusiasts see the graphics on the car in person and on Facebook, another round of voting will occur. The top vote-getter will be considered for future production.

“Camaro has thousands of fans on the various social media sites and this is a great way to demonstrate that Chevrolet is connected to our customers,” said Dewar. “With so many great designs to choose from, we’re sure the voting will be close, but whatever the outcome, the real winners will be the customers who personalize their Camaro with the winning graphics package.”

The Camaro Graphics display vehicle will be located prominently in the GM display during the SEMA Convention, starting on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009. At the close of the convention each day, the graphics package will be changed.

All of the proposed graphics packages can be viewed and voted on by logging onto Camaro’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/chevycamaro.

There is not much to say except that this is the coolest Halloween costume we’ve ever seen. We wonder if this guy will go to the steps as a Chevrolet Camaro and then transform into Bumblebee and scream “TRICK OR TREAT!”

Because that’s what we would do – but we are geeks and car enthusiasts who would get excited about things like that.

If you’ve been following some 2009 SEMA show news, you’re about to love the next couple of posts (and they all talk about modified versions of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro). First up is the new General Marketing Capital Incorporated’s 2010 Yenko Camaro.

“The company will present the modern Yenko almost 44 years to the day that Don Yenko’s Corvair Corsa was officially recognized as a Class D Production Competition Car by the SCCA,” GMCI said.

Based on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, GMCI added a 600-hp supercharged and intercooled LS-based engine, Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, Hurst short throw shifter, 6-piston big brake package and Magnaflow high-flow cat-back exhaust system.

We’ll get to see official pictures next week. For now enjoy these renderings.

Follow the jump for the press release.

2010 Yenko Camaro:

Press Release:

Westminster, Calif. – (October 28, 2009) General Marketing Capital Incorporated (GMCI) announced today that it will present its official 2010 Yenko Camaro Prototype to the public in the OER booth (# 23795) at the 46th annual SEMA Trade Show in Las Vegas, November 3-6.

The company will present the modern Yenko almost 44 years to the day that Don Yenko’s Corvair Corsa was officially recognized as a Class D Production Competition Car by the SCCA.

The official 2010 Yenko Prototype began its life on a 2010 Camaro SS platform. The vehicle then underwent several significant upgrades including modification to a “Phase I” Yenko Camaro Supercar. Preliminary highlights and specifications of this powerful vehicle include a high performance 600hp supercharged and intercooled LS-based engine, Tremec six speed manual high performance transmission, Hurst short throw shifter, 6-piston big brake package and Magnaflow high-flow cat-back exhaust system.

Plans call for three Phases to be available to take the fifth Generation Camaro from ordinary to extraordinary. This “Phase I” Prototype from GMCI maintains the unique retro appeal Yenko enthusiasts are so passionate about, while including significant performance upgrades to the stock GM specifications and keeping the car affordable. Phase II and III cars will have higher output engines and even more suspension and handling upgrades.

Additional Yenko branded upgrades to this prototype vehicle include: the Yenko stripe package, official emblems and badging, retro-styled 22″ Yenko billet aluminum wheels, Yenko leather interior package featuring Yenko Super Car (sYc) embroidered headrests, Yenko/SC sill plates, Yenko/SC embroidered floor mats and more.

Nearly 45 years ago, racing legend Don Yenko embarked on a mission to build a race car that could effectively compete in the 1966 SCCA racing season. His inspiration resulted in the development of the Yenko Stinger, an SCCA race car based on the Corvair Corsa platform. It was in the last quarter of 1965 that Yenko’s plans for that vehicle came together changing automotive history forever.

Originally, the 60s era Yenko car was a special order vehicle, designed and built by Don Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsburg, PA. Don Yenko used the Central Office Production Order (COPO) program, a program GM used for fleet vehicles like police cars, taxi cabs, etc. to special order the vehicles and then modify them into some of the most powerful vehicles available. Today, an original Yenko is one of the most sought after Camaros in the world.

For more information about GMCI or Yenko licensing, please contact GMCI Corporate Headquarters, P.O. box 12049 Westminster, CA. 92683 or info@gmcilicensing.com.

It has been rumored for some time now that Brad Pitt has been seen flying around in a new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS. The folks at Celebrity Car Blog have now spotted the Benjamin Button star rolling around in his new muscle car.

During a live chat session with General Motors Company’s CEO Fritz Henderson last week on GM’s FastLane Blog, the head of the Detroit automaker was asked what cars he has in his garage right now.

Fritz replied that he owns a “Camaro, my 2005 corvette and a Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible.” Henderson did not specify which Camaro (V6, or the V8 SS) he owns, neither did he tell us what’s under the hood of his Corvette.

Either way, we just thought you guys would like to know.

We just heard that the final Chevrolet Camaro Convertible version was privately shown to dealers earlier last week. Speaking to consumers and the media on a live chat at GM’s FastLane Blog, CEO Fritz Henderson said that the Camaro Convertible will arrive as a 2012 model in the first quarter of 2011.

Interestingly a consumer asked whether or not GM is planning a Camaro sedan.

“Will the new GM branch out their successful brands,” asked an individual named Brian. “For example, will we see a 4 door Camaro. I would love to own one but I need 4 doors for my family – I DO NOT want to buy an M3 from BMW.”

Fritz responded saying we “do not see a 4-door camaro in our future. We will continue to look for performance opportunities across our lineup, including in sedans.”

Honestly, we wouldn’t mind a Camaro sedan based on the beloved Pontiac G8.

During a live Web chat on the GM Fastlane Blog, Chevrolet’s Vice President Brent Dewar said the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible was privately shown to dealers earlier this week. He did not give a specific date for when the Camaro drop top would hit dealerships.

“We are working on the specific timing, but it will come out soon,” Dewar said.

As for the Chevrolet Z28, Dewar’s response was a bit disappointing.

“We have not officially decided to bring back the Camaro Z28,” he said.

It has been previously reported that the Chevrolet Camaro Z28 is back in GM’s product plans and is estimated to arrive in late 2011. Of course, we’re not sure if that statement holds weight anymore.
