Ok, so you’ve probably figured out we’re not talking about the stock 2010 Camaro V6. I mean, it’s a great car by it’s own right; a 3.6L direct injected V6 with 304 hp, and an EPA estimated 29 mpg on the highway. The Camaro that plans to take on the GT-R at the Nurburgring in Germany is one that has been prepped by Texas tuning firm East Texas Muscle Cars. The engine will be getting a heavy re-work with forged pistons, crank and rods, as well as a pair of Squires Turbo Systems turbos. Various other mods will be included such as big Baer brakes, coilovers, and lightweight 20 inch forged wheels. For more, head on over to Inside Line.

Autoblog has just had it’s first drive in the all new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, and the initial impression is a good one. They liked both the V6 and V8 SS editions, which says a lot about the vehicle. Particularly impressive is the 29 mpg rating for the V6, while still haulin’ ass with 304 hp. For the full review, as well as tons of photos of the car, head on over to Autoblog.
I’m glad to hear positive news on the car thus far, as it will hopefully help yet again to prove that the domestic manufacturers can produce fun to drive cars that still deliver good fuel economy.
