2013 Shelby GT500 Takes on 2013 Camaro ZL1 on the Dyno


America's two newest and at the same time, most powerful series-production muscle cars are the 2013 Ford Mustang-based Shelby GT500 and the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

On paper, the $54,995 Camaro ZL1's 6.2-liter supercharged V8 produces 580hp at 6,000 rpm and 556 lb.-ft. of torque (754 Nm) at 4,200 rpm, while the $54,200 Shelby GT500's 5.8-liter supercharged V8 delivers 662hp at 6,250 rpm and 631 lb.-ft. (856Nm) of torque at 4,000 rpm.

'Yellow Steam Hammer' is a Supercharged Camaro by O.CT-Tuning with 621-Horses


Germany's O.CT-Tuning tells us that the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro SS with its naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 that produces 426-horsepower and 420 lb-ft (569Nm) of peak torque is not fast enough and that owners should take a look at its new performance package called the "Yellow Steam Hammer".

Poll: Which Sports Car Would You Buy for Around $25,000?


Let us just start off by saying that if you live in the States, you should feel fortunate that you can acquire a fairly rewarding and fun to drive sports car for $25,000 (approx. €19,300) or even less if you don't care much about all the bells and whistles of modern automobiles. If you are wondering why, head over to this post.

Now, with the recent arrival of the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins as well as a pricing announcement for the 2013 Ford Focus ST, which goes on sale later this year, buyers searching to buy a sports car for around $25k will have plenty of options to choose from.

The automotive menu at this price point includes front-wheel drive sport hatchbacks such as the MazdaSpeed 3 and VW Golf GTI, rear-wheel drive coupes like the Hyundai Genesis 2.0 Turbo and Chevy Camaro V6 and the Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster.

Video: 2009 Camaro Caught on Tape without Camo

Yep; the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro has been caught again unmasked. Only this time the fella that managed to capture it was holding a video device (possibly a cell phone judging by the poor quality), instead of a photographic camera. We must say however that we easily could have done without the movie-type intro and the rock and roll music… -Video after the jump

Thanks for the tip Mario!

2009 Camaro Spotted Uncovered... Again

Another day, another fella spots a pre-production 2009 Chevrolet Camaro wandering around without a trace of camouflage. This alpine-white Camaro was captured on film by Camaro5 forum member, BalzOnYer4Head (where do they come up with these names?) who snapped the test vehicle on I-75 just north of Tampa, Florida. –Two more pics after the jump

2009 Camaro: Unmasked Black Prototype Scooped

General Motors had “warned” us about their decision to remove the camouflage off all Camaro pre-production prototypes and here’s one of the first cars to be caught on film by a non-professional. The pictures where shot by Corey R., a member of the Chevy loving forum at “Camaro5”. Corey spotted the unmasked test car on Fletcher Ave. and he followed it until the driver pulled into an office complex to turn around. The Camaro’s driver allowed him to take as many pictures as he could, as long as he didn’t take any of the interior. However, we did manage to magnify one of the cabin as you can see in the image gallery after the jump. –Continued

2009 Chevy Camaro: Front-End Picture of Pre-Production Model

We knew this was going to happen the minute that GM released the first image of an uncloaked, pre-production Camaro being tested. This time, the folks at GM decided to give us a peek of the front end, stating however that some of the details seen here (such as the headlamp design) may change before production begins this year. Until GM releases a side view pic (…) click here to check out the rear-end of the upcoming Camaro Coupe.

2009 Chevy Camaro Update: XXXL Image of Pre-Production Model

True, this is getting silly… We mean, it’s our fourth post on GM’s official image of the pre-production 2009 Chevy Camaro with no camouflage whatsoever, but since we found an XXXL-sized version of the picture -2000 x 1200 pixels- we couldn’t just keep it to ourselves, could we…

2009 Chevrolet Camaro Production Version Image Update

We managed to dig up an even larger version of the 2009 Chevrolet Camaro pre-production car teaser image that GM first released last week (see here & here). The new picture gives us an even clearer look of Chevy’s upcoming muscle car that will compete head on with the Dodge Challenger. Compared to the prototype (see image after the jump) there are minor differences including the door handles, mirrors and the addition of a B-Pillar, but in general, Chevy has kept the concept’s basic design. -Continued

2009 Chevy Camaro: Large Picture In Various Colors

Just the other day Bob Lutz gave the “ok” to Chevy officials to remove the camouflage off all Camaro pre-production prototypes and while he was at it, he also gave permission for the release of a teaser image (click here for the story). But that wasn’t enough for the guys at “TheGMSource” who managed to dig out a larger image of the car that allows us to see the new Camaro in more detail. And if that wasn’t enough, CamaroZ28.com forum member Rampant, fiddled around with Photoshop colorizing the 2009 Camaro. –Check out the pics after the jump

GM Takes The Camo Off The 2009 Camaro

You gotta love those folks at GM; Chevrolet’s General Manager Ed Peper just uploaded a picture of the upcoming 2009 Camaro Coupe without a trace of camouflage. But it gets even better; according to Peper, Bob Lutz has given the order to remove the camo from the pre-production Camaros so further evaluations could be done for aerodynamics and cooling efficiency during the car’s testing phases in both U.S. and Australian roads. Yeah right… Make a bet that we’re going to start seeing un-camouflaged Camaros here and there from now on? Marketing (...and free publicity on every forum, blog and website) at its best.

Win A 2009 Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee Transformers Replica!

Chevrolet has kicked off “The Bumblebee Camaro Sweepstakes” competition which will see three lucky chaps winning a 2009 Chevy Camaro modified to resemble the exterior of Bumblebee, as seen in this summer’s blockbuster film, Transformers.

The winners will be announced on January 30, 2008.

A bit off topic, but we checked out the small print in the “Rules & Regulations” section and we discovered that, the Transformers Bumblebee Replica Edition has an approximate retail value of $40,000. According to Chevrolet, the price is based on forecasted 2009 Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of a base model Chevrolet Camaro. Link: Chevy

Chevy Camaro Cross-dressed As A Mustang

Too much time combined with so little taste can have catastrophic results. Take the owner of this Chevrolet Camaro for example; yes, we could live with the “bumblebee” paintjob but the Ford Mustang look-alike front end is something that even “Dr. 90210” would find repulsive. As for the title of the forum thread in Xmodsource, “Warning: you will crap your pants”, what can we say… -More images after the jump

VW Based Chevrolet Camaro Replica

Here’s America’s answer to all those greenish-eco-friendly prototypes and production vehicles that caught our attention at this year’s Frankfurt Show: a low weight compact coupe with a 4cylinder engine that hides its technologically advanced powertrain underneath a fiber-glass body inspired from the 70's Chevy Camaro. Its small, its unique, its cheap to run and you can buy it as low as $3,000. What possibly could you want more from a car? -Extra images after the jump

Vehicle description

This is a 1976 VW car with a 1971 Fiber Glass Carmaro Body. The paint is Green Matlic paint with green metal flake in the clear coat. The paint flawless!!! The car is sitting on 15 inch cragers. These wheels are hard to find. The Odometer reading is 45,000 miles but the title says that is not the actual mile. (There was a mix up at the local clerks office but this is the original miles on the car). The engine is a 16 single port 4 cyl. and the trans mission is from a bus.

What The Bug? Chevy Camaro Replica Based On VW Beetle!


Continuing our Bug saga (see the Hummer Bug here and the Porsche 911 Bug here), we discovered yet another weird replica based on the VW Beetle. The Bug..aro, a ‘66 Beetle dressed as second generation, 1972 Chevrolet Camaro looks more like the premature offspring of a Texan mullet-hair ranger and a… Woodstock hippy than a real replica. The project isn’t finished yet but if you place your bid on eBay to obtain it you could be well on your way to creating a one-of-a-kind mini-muscle car. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below
