Beefing up the 5th gen Camaro

In just three years Chevrolet was able to take the Camaro from a concept car to production arriving early in 2009 for the 2010 model year.  Starting at $22,995, it is slightly higher than the Mustang and the Challenger, but still within the same range of potential buyers.

The standard 3.6L Dual Overhead Cam V6 engine boasts Direct Injection and Variable Valve Timing.  Both work to enhance combustion and breathing efficiency, resulting in an absolutely astonishing 304 hp @ 6400 and an EPA estimated 29 MPG highway.   It also comes with 273 pound-feet of torque @ 5200 RPM, higher in both categories versus the challenger and the mustang.

The Camaro uses struts up front and a multilink arrangement at the rear. However, the engine rides an inch further toward the front, and the steering rack sits ahead of the front axle. The battery stows in the trunk to enhance weight distribution, which Chevy reports as 52/48. Three trim levels will be offered: LS, LT, and SS. Curb weights range from an estimated 3741 pounds for an LT V-6 manual to 3913 for an SS V-8 automatic.

A 300-hp, direct-injection 3.6-liter, DOHC 24-valve V-6 with variable valve timing will be standard in the LS and LT models, while the Camaro SS will be available with one of two 6.2-liter pushrod V-8s. Camaro SS's with an automatic transmission get the 400-hp L99, while manual-transmission cars get the 422-hp LS3, go for the extra 22 horses and drive manually.

That is just some of the specs on the new Camaro’s.  From there, the end user can upgrade to give it even more power.  For example there is the DiabloSport Predator performance tuner and the MBRP Exhaust system.  Both items used together will add 50 plus more horsepower and deliver improved fuel economy to the conservative driver.

The DiabloSport Predator tuner is a very fast and easy way to gain a little extra power and to improve gas mileage.  If you had time to read this article you probably have the time to install the tuner.  It plugs in under your steering wheel and the device walks you through the setup.  When it is all done you have spent maybe 10 minutes of time, which is nothing compared to the gains it produces.

The MBRP Exhaust system is going to give a little more in both gas mileage and horse power and torque.  Averaging 20 horse power at the rear wheels and 24 ft/lbs of torque which gives better throttle response.  And the gas mileage can give you up to 3 extra miles per gallon if you quit driving with the pedal to the metal, who really wants to do that though.  Really though...what is a muscle car for, if it isn’t for the power?
