The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is a return to the traditional American muscle car, fast lines and stylish shape and when fitted with the V8 engine give that impressive big car growl from the twin tail pipes. This is the vehicle of Hollywood car chases, big budget blockbusters with explosions.
The Camaro, whether fitted with the V6 direct injection or the V8 performs excellently, the V6 with the aid of its 300 horsepower, goes from 0-60 in 6 seconds. Chevy have used a shortened Zeta chassis to build the Camaro and have included an independent suspension to a comfortable ride. While using existing elements for the basis, the V6 is from the Cadillac CTS and the V8 is taken out of the Corvette, its body shape is definitely individual, retro 1970’s inter continental car race.
Aficionados of the genre would expect the narrow windscreen and small boot but is also equipped with the modern gadgets common to most cars these days. Anti-lock breaks, stability control and curtain, side and front airbags along with the expected entertainment systems and steering wheel controls, USB and Bluetooth interface.
Heated leather upholstered bucket seats, air-con; cruise control gives you a smart interior. The instrument cluster is well designed and easy to read as you drive, the back seats though in a car of this size are a little on the small size, fine for children but adults will find it a little cramped.
On the road, the Camaro produces a smooth drive, its independent suspension aiding the ride and aerodynamics ensuring it grips the road around corners. When fitted with alloy wheels and rear spoiler you have the American dream of your own.
