2010 Chevrolet

Last year the resurrection from the Chevy Camaro left everybody in the Paris show room shocked. This years Chevrolet Camaro cut back the real concept of muscle car.

Let me just say that it simply rocks. Just like the old days an V8 supercharged engine will leave smoking burnouts in the parking lot, and, obviously cannot corner in order to save a live, namely the driver’s. New Dodge Challenger looks hot and the Ford Mustang might be pretty sweet on the V6 model but the Camaro is in another league. Even more impressive is the fact that despite all these drawbacks it’s still quoted among the best performance car in the class. The burning rubber acceleration of 5.0 sec on 0 - 60 mph run will leave everyone’s mouth hanging open.

Being developed on a shorter and refined version of the GM’s Zeta platform, that is also used by the Pontiac G8 sedan, the Camaro comes with an independent suspension within the rear and upgraded handling performance. The base trim direct - injected 3.6 liter engine packed with V6 cylinders functions just like great and is just like extreme since the more pricy option from the Cadillac CTS sedan, as the 6.2 liter engine with V8 cylinders is really a monster. Developing 426 hp that one will pummel you to the seat when starts roaring.

This isn’t exactly stating that Chevrolet has created somehow an ideal coupe performance. While it’s style is very appealing, the car’s retro based exterior and better beltline lives hardly any for that glass. Thus the little gun slit windshield produce a harder visibility, particularly when it comes to fitting the car into tighter corners. Another inconvenience is the don't have any quality with regards to interior. We’re talking materials that are not bad, however the competition does it better. That combined with the amusingly small trunk and the insufficient a navigation system embedded from factory is making the Camaro loose points.

But are you going to care one bit? If you’re heading for this car than you’re not quite looking for a limo. So putting it face to face the Camaro is an indubitably good car. V8 roaring engine, cool styling, decent handling (in contrast to the amount of hp it's) not to mention unbeatable price, many of these making this years Chevy Camaro a must have.

Talking performance, you best hold on to your hats. The V8 engine will knock the breath out of you, combined with a six speed manual transmission enables you to seem like heading for the race track greater than a highway. The cylinder deactivation feat is quite something since it calculates the amount of power necessary and deactivate unnecessary cylinders resulting in an efficient gas mileage system. 24 mpg for any V8 engine isn’t exactly inefficient.

Muscle car, be that as it may, safety cannot be ignored. Therefore standard features include antilock braking disks, ESP, front air bags and complete side airbags. OnStar navigation with a graphical display in the gauge cluster is really a major requirement.

When it comes to driving, this muscle car is considered a no brainer option for people who go for adrenaline filling driving. Regards given to the undefeated combination of huge powerful engine, tar sticking grip and high tech suspension. It’s got enough spirit to provide the BMW 135i a run for it’s money, considering that the 2010 Camaro is cheaper compared to BMW.

Noise, speed, torque, looks and horsepower if that’s not really a true American muscle than there is nothing.
