2010 Chevrolet Camaro

Sum ‘n’ substance:

Thumbs up:

Rear wheel drive sport coupe ,6.0litre V8 churns out 304bhp @6400 rpm, light in weight, Active Fuel Management; fantastic design; ergonomic; V6 version is available which gives a good mileage of  26 mpg on the highway; suspension type: four-wheel independent suspension.

Thumbs down:

Chevy could have managed at least 80-100bhp more from a 6.0litre V8, the V6 is decent though.

Inside the trunk:

6.0litre V8 churns out 400bhp while the 3.6litre V6 manages 304@6400 rpm; torque: 273 @ 5200 lb-ft; drivetrain: rear wheel drive; weight: 3700 pounds; RS appearance package is available on LT model, and will include HID headlamps with an integrated halo ring feature, spoiler, specific tail lamps and 20-inch wheels; the 3.6L V6 is mated to either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission.

The Motor-kid speaks:

When chevy announced their arrival of the all new camaro , it has been wet-dreams for most of the Camaro’s fans. It drove everyone insane when it featured in the  movie Transformers as Bumble-bee. Everyone from all  age groups and both sexes where left with jaw dropped expressions when the camaro appeared in style to pick by the lead actors in the tunnel after a rude remark by the actress. Now chevy has turned our dreams into reality, with the launch of the 2010 Camaro. Fantasies aside, let’s see if the Camaro is ready to live up to all the hype.

Razzle- dazzle:

Do I even have to say anything here? …come on!! …look at it!!!!….it’s a brilliant work of art!!. It’s a beautiful blend of lines and curves. Personally I feel Chevy should have standardized the racing stripes on the paint job. The Camaro shows off its meat and muscles at every angle .Chevy has stuck with the 2-door, 4-passenger  coupe concept for the Camaro.

Inside dope:

The camaro has been offered in different versions : A coupe, a convertible, a V8, a V6 and so on.

Leaving its design out of this,  what makes the Camaro actually tick is the engine that delivers an adequate 304 horsepower at 6,400rpm and 273 pound-feet of torque at 5,200rpm, while the 6.0litre V8 version  puts out 400bhp.

Driving the Camaro was really amazing because of the rear wheel drivetrain and four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes with 14 in (36 cm) rotors and four-piston calipers, and 21 in (53 cm) front / 22 in (56 cm) rear wheels covered in huge 275/30R21 front / 305/30R22 rear tires. But when attacking corners it tends to oversteer but the ride was still comfortable because of the independent suspension. Braking on the 20inch tires was  incredible.

And one of the best features of the Chevy is when the engine does not need all of its 400 horsepower, the Active Fuel Management will shut off four of the cylinders , so that you can leave behind a smaller carbon footprint i.e. you save fuel.

The interiors are laden with loads of goodies too like air filtration system with pollen filter ,defogger, telescopic Instrumentation, analog with Driver Information Center display, includes speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and engine temperature gauge etc. OnStar is the only navigation option available .

Nitty- Gritty:

So there you have it, the Camaro has landed. The new Camaro excels on all frontiers. This monster of a car that Chevy has built has not just lived up to the hype, it has blasted my bind. But with all the design, power, handling, efficiency, comfort, convenience and safety, there has to be a hefty price to pay….but there isn’t…..the camaro can come in around $22,245.

You saw that right. You want one?…….yeah?…..then get in line.
