New and updated information has been released today about the 2010 Camaro:
Start of Camaro production has been re-timed to March 16, 2009.
The change in the date is the result of GM's efforts to ensure the Camaro exceeds the highest quality benchmarks established by GM for a new product. This re-timing is NOT the result of current business conditions, or any pending legal matters. The good news is that this additional time will ensure a great car from the start and exceed your expectations.
The Camaro Convertible is official for production in mid-2010 for model year 2011, in line with original plans.
Official horsepower figures: 400hp for the L99 (6.2L V8 paired with the 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission) and 426hp for the LS3 (6.2L V8 paired with the TR6060 6-speed manual transmission).
There may be more stripe packages in the future from the factory - there are only 2 colors now.
All offered discounts will be available from the first day they're available for sale.
Door sill plates are standard on V8 models, and optional on V6 models.
Brake calipers are Black, with Chevrolet in White, and Brembo in red (can they please say Camaro instead?)
Heritage Grille Insert - as seen on the Dale Jr Concept Camaro at SEMA - has a gold bowtie.
Rear gear ratios are 3.27 in V6 models, 3.45 in V8 models.
Pirelli snow tires are recommended for 20" wheels in areas with snowy climates.
Current SS demand (80%+ of pre-orders) is not a big concern. It may or may not be cause for a constraint.
All pre-ordered Camaros will be built by October. Currently over 10,000 pre-orders are in.
