2010 Camaro Ss 6.2
Like and , the defines Americana. But when it comes to the "modern interpretation of a classic pony car," the new Camaro is the one that really got it right. Unlike Dodge, which designed a near carbon-copy of the 1970 Challenger, and Ford, which offers a "new" 2010 Mustang that only true 'Stang enthusiasts can distinguish from the 2009 model, designer Sang Yup Lee and his staff did a stunning job of using the 1969 Camaro as an "anchor point" to create a thoroughly modern car with a style all its own. The hood's large power dome, slightly shrouded headlights, menacing grille and foglights-as-DRLs form one of the most aggressive faces on the road today. We're even willing to excuse the SS model's fake hood scoop.
OK, so got the shape right. But what about the mechanical side? In a tribute to the big, burly V-8s of the '60s and '70s, the Camaro SS comes with a 6.2-liter pushrod V-8. Two of them, actually. Order the 6-speed automatic (with shift buttons on the back of the steering wheel, downshifts accompanied by perfect throttle blips) and you get the L99, with 400 bhp and 410 lb.-ft. of torque. The L99 also features Active Fuel Management, which switches the engine from 8 to 4 cylinders when driven at light throttle loads to save fuel.
For those of you who prefer a 3-pedal setup, the LS3 V-8 comes hooked to a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual. This configuration nets 426 bhp at 5900 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. of torque at 4600 rpm — and it's definitely the way to go. The LS3 is a terrifically flexible engine, basically the same small-block found in the Corvette. Surprisingly, the exhaust is on the quiet side at low revs, but it comes alive with fantastic, throbbing V-8 sounds the closer the tachometer needle gets to its 6500-rpm redline.
Although the 2010 Camaro was designed/built to a certain price point, Chevy engineers made sure performance necessities weren't skipped, demonstrated by the fact that all SS models, as well as V-6 models with manual transmissions, come with limited-slip differentials — a must for good burnouts, power slides and back-road charging. Proving this refusal-to-skimp theory even further, the SS comes standard with 4-piston Brembo brakes at all four corners, 14.0-in. rotors up front and 14.4s at the rear.
Armed with the aforementioned powertrain (the 6-speed manual providing positive, if not particularly quick throws; a Hurst short-throw shifter will soon be available), and despite a curb weight of 3860 lb., the Camaro SS hits 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, 100 mph in 10.5 sec. and thunders through the quarter mile in 13 flat at 111.1 mph. That compares spot-on with the 5-speed automatic-equipped 425-bhp Dodge Challenger SRT8, which hit 60 mph in 4.7 sec. and ran the quarter in 13.0. But the Camaro SS is considerably quicker than the standard of the class, the 2010 Ford Mustang GT, which makes do with a smaller, 315-bhp 4.6-liter V-8 and a 5-speed manual. The Mustang was 0.7 sec. off the Camaro's pace to 60 and 0.8 sec. slower in the quarter mile.
