The 2009 Chevrolet Camaro SS
The new Camaro appeared at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2007 and was so good that it’s said to come out for production unchanged. This is good news, seeing as how the Infiniti G37 concept had a huge “love it” crowd, but it came out with a ton of changes that made it look hideous.
The Camaro SS will feature multi link independent rear suspension and there will be choices of manual and automatic gearboxes, as well as V6 and V8 engines. The gearboxes will likely be the same six speed manual and six speed auto found in the Holden Commodore.
The standard V6 model will use the 3.6 liter version of GM’s global V6, tuned to between 240 horsepower and 260 horsepower, while the V8 option will most likely be the 6.2 liter version of the GEN VI with around 400 horsepower. But GM is also currently working on a direct injection version of the V8, gaining more horsepower while increasing fuel economy from between three to six percent, and Dave Sczomak, development engineer-GM Powertrain Advanced Engineering, says the technology will bump power to “well over 450HP.” That engine may well make an appearance in the Camaro, either in the standard car or the SS model.
