  • 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible

    The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is out from under the covers, ready for its world debut tomorrow at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show. It's precisely what you'd expect, since the car has been out as an almost identical concept for about three years now, but there are a few surprises. The convertible will be offered in similar model configurations as the Camaro coupe. The standard model will have a 312 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque 3.2-liter direct injection V-6 engine delivering 17 mpg in the city and up to 29 mpg on the highway. The SS model will feature the 6.2-liter V-8 engine...

    GM May Revive High Performance Vehicle Operations

    In what we’re sure came as a major surprise to many, General Motors decided to disband its High Performance Vehicle Operations (HPVO) back in February 2009 in order to reduce costs and focus on mainstream products. If the HPVO doesn’t ring a bell, the go-fast center was basically a...

  • 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SSX Track Car Concept

    Joining its Corvette brother, the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro SSX Track Car Concept goes black-and-white for the checkered flag with a host of racing upgrades. While it's not a streetable car, it shows Chevy's commitment to supporting the teams that actually put Camaros on track, which in turn feeds back into the production Camaro's impact on the street. Many of the improvements for the Camaro SSX Track Car Concept are focused at reducing weight--the Camaro's primary evil. Carbon fiber body panels and aero parts combine with deletion of carpeting, sound deadening and the rear seat, plus lightweight...

Now HPP has turned its attention to the Chevrolet Camaro and in the process developed two new kits for the car, one inspired by the original Pontiac Firebird Trans Am from the 1970s. Effected mostly by a body kit and wheels...
