2011 Chevrolet Camaro SS
Camaro was welcomed back onto the highways, boulevards and cruise nights of America last year with enthusiasm. In a still-recovering market, it outsold its primary pony car rival 11 months straight, with sales of more than 90,000 (through April 2010). (continued below)

Customers continue to turn their new Camaros into personal statements,
outfitting them with the wide array of appearance, convenience and performance
options and accessories offered through Chevrolet dealers. The RS appearance
package, with its High-Intensity Discharge headlamps accented by LED-illuminated
"halo" rings, is the most popular option.
For 2011, the Camaro rolls on
with evolutionary changes. They include:
- An increased horsepower rating for the 3.6L V-6 VVT - 312 vs. 2010's 304
horsepower rating - while still offering an EPA-rated 29 mpg on the highway.
- The Synergy Green Metallic exterior color will be offered on all Camaro
models for a limited time; also, the Synergy Green instrument panel and door
trim panels on 2LT and 2SS models will be available.
- Head-Up Display is now standard on 2LT and 2SS equipment packages. The
system projects vehicle speed and other data onto the windshield for easy,
at-a-glance viewing that doesn't require the driver to take his or her eyes
off the road.
- OnStar with a six-month Directions and Connections subscription is
standard on all models.
Performance
Two 6.2L V-8 engines are offered in the Camaro SS,
including the L99 on automatic-equipped vehicles and the LS3 on manual-equipped
models. Both engines are derived from the LS3 that debuted on the 2008 Corvette,
with an aluminum block (with cast iron cylinder liners) and aluminum cylinder
heads. Horsepower for the L99 is 400 (298 kW) at 5,900 rpm and torque is 410
lb-ft (556 Nm) at 4,300 rpm. The LS3 develops 426 horsepower (318 kW) and 420
lb-ft (569 Nm). Output on the L99 is lower than the LS3 because of a slightly
lower compression ratio (10.4:1 vs. 10.7:1) and design features of the Active
Fuel Management System. The L99 is paired exclusively with a six-speed automatic
transmission.
