chevrolet camaro SS
The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car produced by General Motors and marketed under the Chevrolet brand. It is the fifth distinct generation of the Camaro to be produced since its original introduction in 1967. Production of the new Camaro began on March 16, 2009 after several years on hiatus since the previous generation's production ended in 2002 and went on sale to the public in April 2009 for the 2010 model year.
For the 2011 model year, the Camaro V6 engine was certified at 312 hp (233 kW) and 278 lb·ft (377 N·m), an increase of 8 hp (6.0 kW) and 5 lb·ft (6.8 N·m) from 2010. No engineering changes were made for the increase as GM claimed the 304 hp (227 kW) in the 2010 Camaro was a conservative rating.
The Synergy Green color from the 2010 Special Edition will be available on all 2011 model trim levels. A head-up display with most of the instrument panel's information will be offered. The HUD is a modified version of the Chevrolet Corvette's display. The main difference is that the Corvette's is able to display lateral g-forces, while the Camaro's can not.

Inspired by the COPO Camaros of the late 1960s, the Camaro LS7 Concept was built from the 2010 Camaro SS with LS3 engine that gets replaced with a GM Performance Parts LS7 crate engine producing around 550 bhp (410 kW). With the inclusion of a high performance exhaust, headers, air intake system and replacement camshaft all developed by GM Performance Parts reflects the heritage that the COPO's of past brought to the tracks. Other modifications include a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, Brembo brakes, Hurst short-throw shifter, 20-inch custom wheels, and a lowered ride height. The exterior of the car is presented in a Victory Red color with accents of matte black on the "LS7" badges, front grille slot, rear headlight panel, and hood with the LS7 logo on top of the hood cowl in Victory Red. The interior accentuates the exterior by matching the color scheme with the Victory Red interior panel trim that flows on the doors and dash panel as well as on the gauges of the odometers and four gauge cluster pack. Gloss black replaces every trim that came in silver in the final production Camaros such as on the steering wheel, Hurst shifter knob, vent trimings, and center console clusters.
The Camaro SSX concept car was created to be a factory built racecar. The car was built by GM and Pratt & Miller Engineering with help from car builder Riley Technologies. The car interior was removed to reduce weight and fitted with a full roll cage and fire suppression system for safety. The only seat is a full carbon shell racing seat with 5 point harnesses. The exterior received additional racing components like a carbon fiber front splitter and adjustable rear wing and was finished in a pearl matt white paint. The car was also fitted with carbon fiber hood and fenders to further reduce weight. The suspension system was improved through the use of Pfadt Race Engineering performance suspension components consisting of coilovers, sway bars, bushings and many other performance products.
The car received two awards at SEMA: The SEMA Award: Hottest Car and the Gran Turismo Award: Best Domestic.
For the 2012 model year, the Camaro LS's V6 engine receives new upgrades, including lighter components, new cylinder head design, improved intake port design and larger intake vales, and new fuel pump and fuel injectors. This results in an engine over 20 pounds (9.1 kg) lighter than the 2011 one, producing 323 horsepower (241 kW) at 6,800 rpm, 11 hp more than 2011, and 278 lb·ft (377 N·m) torque.
Other changes include a new FE4 suspension package for the SS, a revised instrument panel and steering wheel, and an available rear-view camera.
