Chevrolet Camaro News
-
One of the star surprises at this week’s 2013 Chicago Auto Show was this menacing concept car based on the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 muscle car. Though labeled the Turbo Camaro Coupe, the new concept doesn’t preview a new turbocharged Camaro from Chevrolet but instead celebrates the upcoming Turbo movie. Despite its cool-sounding name, the new movie is about a snail--yes, a snail--obsessed with speed, and this Camaro is apparently instrumental in transforming him into some kind of racer. You can check out the trailer below, and if you’re keen on the movie it opens nationwide on...

Next-Generation Chevy Camaro Will Be American Made
You might think the Chevy Camaro is one of the ultimate expressions of American motoring muscle--and you'd be correct, except for the fact that it has been built in Canada since its 2009 return to production. That won't be the case with the sixth-generation Camaro, however, as production is moving...

1967 Chevy Camaro RS/SS Barn Find Is Tired, But True
The problem with most barn find stories is that they generally start out with “I knew a guy who’d heard of a guy whose neighbor bought a mint-condition Cobra at a garage sale for $500.” The further away from the point of origin, the taller the tale generally gets. In reality that...

If you’re a Chevy Camaro fan on a limited budget, chances are good there isn’t a Camaro ZL1 parked in your garage. In fact, you may not even be able to pay the monthly tab on a Camaro SS 1LE, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make your existing Camaro go faster, stop shorter or turn quicker. On the other hand, maybe your budget is unlimited, and you’re looking to build the ultimate quarter-mile Camaro from the ground up. In either of these scenarios, the new Chevrolet Performance Catalog is out, and it’s filled with anything and everything you need to build a...

When it comes to hot rods, muscle cars and pro touring cars, superlatives are often handed out as freely as bumper stickers on the campaign trail. Everyone claims to have the best handling, the fastest or the most artfully-built ride, but chances are good you’ve never heard of the car that likely wins in all these categories. To understand the car, first you need to understand its driver and builder, Mary Pozzi. Mary is an 11-time SCCA Solo champion, auto journalist and test driver, married to David Pozzi, who’s got something like four decades worth of experience in building race...
