2010 Hennessey Camaro makes it's first dyno run

Hennessey makes a living selling tuned, insanely powerful versions of America's best muscle cars. So we could assume that the Hennessey Camaro would be no exception to the rule. But just in case you ever doubted the tuner's ability to add considerable power to GM's reborn pony car, here is video proof of the car's first dyno run.

Camaro Z/28 to live after all, and with a supercharger?

The Camaro Z/28 has been on again and off again more than a hollywood romance. It seems that Chevrolet just can't let the dream die, especially with the Mustang Shelby GT500 running around as the superior pony car offering.

Inside Line is now reporting that GM Veep Ed Welburn says the Z/28 program is back in full effect and is headed for production. The car will sport a 6.2-liter LS-A from the Cadillac CTS-V that should be good for about 550 horsepower under it's hood bulge. Transmission choices will be either an automatic or a six speed manual.

If the rumor is true, the Z would hit dealer lots in roughly a year, just enough time to get all the kinks worked out.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro coming to Formula Drift

Drifting, for all it's Japanese roots, is a sport that seems to be created for American muscle. Sliding around corners and spinning tires relentlessly is something Mustangs, Chargers, and Camaros do with ease. So it makes a lot of sense that we will soon see the Camaro make it's debut in Formula Drift.

BR Racing is developing a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS that will sport a Cadillac CTS-V mill pumping out roughly 600hp at the wheels, or around 700hp at the motor.

Custom 2010 Camaro Constructed for Competition in 2010 Formula DRIFT Championship

LOS GATOS, CA – BR Racing by Luke Lonberger in partnership with Conrad Grunewald Racing reveal they are in the process of building a 2010 Camaro SS in preparation for the 2010 Formula DRIFT Championship competition.

"I am very excited to be able to drive such an iconic American muscle car in the Formula DRIFT Championship," said Conrad Grunewald, driver and owner of Conrad Grunewald Racing. "Our main goal is to have the Camaro ready for the 2009 SEMA show but our preseason testing should start immediately after the show. I have a great amount of confidence that BR Racing and Luke Lonberger can build this Camaro into a highly competitive car and I look forward to getting back out on the track."

Hankook Tire Corporation will provide tire sponsorship for the 2010 Formula DRIFT season. Grunewald announced the Camaro will use Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires on custom Forgeline aluminum 3-piece wheels. The car is to be controlled by Eibach's Multi-Pro-R2 two-way adjustable dampers and coilovers. A GM Performance LS-A supercharged 6.2 liter V8 controlled by the AEM Universal EMS and expected to make over 600 RWHP will power the Camaro. All body work will be constructed with carbon fiber from Seibon Carbon.

The car will also be on display the 2009 SEMA Show at Las Vegas Convention Center, Nov. 3 to Nov. 6, 2009. The Camaro build can be followed at www.conradgrunewald.com.
