Details for the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro were announced today with biggest of news being an increase in horsepower for the V-6 model to trump Ford's latest 305 horsepower 2011 Mustang V-6 offering.  The 2011 Camaro V-6 will now be rated at 312 horsepower an 8 horsepower bump from the previous 304.

“The 304 horsepower in the 2010 Camaro was actually a conservative rating on our end,” said Tom Sutter, GM V-6 chief engineer. “But we knew already that this award-winning engine produced at least the amount of power we stated, but now we’ve gone the extra step in certifying the engine for this application and have verified an additional 8 horsepower.”

Other new additions for the 2011 Camaro include the availability of Synergy Green across the whole model lineup meaning you can now get a Camaro SS or base model V-6 in Synergy green.  The overwhelming positive reaction from the color debuting at the SEMA show this past November led Chevrolet to make it available to all trim levels.  The color can be added for an additional MSRP of $325.

Another big addition for the 2011 Camaro includes the availability of the popular Head-Up-Display option currently found on the Corvette.  The Head-Up-Display projects valuable information including vehicle speed, tachometer reading, a compass, vehicle messages and audito functions onto your windshield in an area convenient to the driver.  The 2011 Camaro will only be the second vehicle to ever offer this feature.

The 2011 Camaro will start rolling off the assembly line on June 7th.
