Chevy Camaro Makes Presence Known At SEMA

The Ford Mustang is known for its aftermarket following and infinite styling ability due to one of the largest tuner followings in existence.  Well it seems Chevy is going after a piece of this huge pie by show no less than five Concepts at SEMA.   I've selected the two that seems the most promising, of course this is totally subjective.  First is the car that has been confused as the next Camaro SS, and that would be the Jay Leno Camaro Concept.



  Powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injection V6 standard on LS and LT models, Leno's Camaro includes Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers forced through a custom air-to-air intercooler, forcefeeding the engine about seven pounds of boost  thus increasing horsepower to and astonishing 425 with no difference in standard fuel economy over non-turbo models.

Additional equipment includes:

•  Brembo six-piston brake package
•  Pedders coil-over lowering kit
•  New front fascia with custom lamps and intergral brake cooling vents
•  Air extractor-style hood





The next model is the Camaro Dusk.  Todd Parker, Design Manager, Accessory  Studio is designed  to "attract young sophisticates with a distinct American accent." The Dusk includes a front splitter, rocker extensions and a rear diffuser.  21-inch wheels form BBS makes the package along with taillamps and fog bezels matching the finish of the wheels, lending to a more premium look.



 The Dusk's body is painted Berlin Blue, while the ground effects are painted a contrasting color.  Additional performance items include upgrade exhaust system, Brembo brakes (painted)  interior color trimmed in "Jet Black and Sedona" with complementing features including footwell lighting, premium door sills plates and other details.
