Engine Details
When they were designing the Camaro, Chevrolet came up with the codename "Panther." It took over 2,000 names before the company finally decided to settle on the iconic "Camaro." Chevrolet's goal was to compete with the Ford Mustang, which was the premier American pony car at that time. What followed is a rivalry that's going on to this day and loyal fans on each side. If you're a fan of the Camaro, then keep reading. Here's how the Chevrolet Camaro evolved throughout the years. (1) (1) https://www.hotcars.com/heres-the-evolution-of-the-chevy-camaro-in-pictures/
Chasis and Suspension
On September 29, 1966, the Camaro legend was born as a direct response to the popular Ford Mustang. The Camaro and its sister — the Pontiac Firebird — were engineered to provide the average driver with a sports car experience. The original Camaro donned a short deck, long hood, unitized body construction, and seating for four. In the beginning, there were two Camaro models: the Convertible and the Sport Coupe. These vehicles were shipped with no less than 60 factory options, and four of those options were the engines. You could choose from the incredibly powerful 396 V8 or the 250 cubic-inch straight six. The performance-oriented Camaro Z28 special package featured 302 cubic V8 engine, and it was certified for stock racing! Only 600 Z28 models sold in 1967, which makes it extremely rare and popular today. (2) (2) https://www.bellamystrickland.com/the-history-of-the-chevrolet-camaro/
Interior
The 1969 Z/28 wasn't mechanically much different from the '67 and '68 models, but many consider it the ultimate Camaro in appearance. During the 1969 model year, the Z/28 was joined by two special-order, low-volume, and race-oriented models. Built through the Central Office Production Order (COPO) system, they were the COPO 9560 and 9561. The 9561 was powered by the 425-hp, L72 iron-block 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) big-block V-8, and many of the examples made went to Yenko Chevrolet in Pennsylvania, where they became the Yenko Camaro. Only 69 of the 9560s were built, and they were all powered by the aluminum ZL-1 big-block also rated at 425 horsepower. Those ZL-1 Camaros built in 1969 are considered the most collectible of them all.
Exterior
The Fifth Generation Camaro (2010-2015) After a short pause in production for 8 years, the Camaro was finally reintroduced in 2010 with vintage styling cues that harkened back to the original Camaro and huge performance improvements as well. The new standard engine was a 3.6L V6, which produced 312-horsepower with both 6-speed manual and automatic transmissions available. The all-new Camaro SS featured a 6.2L V8, which created 426-horsepower. At the top of the Camaro line, a new Z/28 model was reintroduced for 2014 with a 7.0L V8 engine, which pumped out 505-horsepower.
