2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS - Jay Leno's Garage

[@Dkickz93]

10 years later and this car is still running the show

[@hunteraltman4762]

I think it's because it can survive abuse compared to the competition, Ford, Dodge or german coupes

[@codymiller1994]

Running the show? A 2021 Mustang and Camaro are basically neck in neck in every category.

[@modernmusclecar1904]

@@codymiller1994 The 6th gen Camaro is a flop sales wise. Sure it performs really well but its not popular. The 6th gen plain SS compared to the 5th gen has zero road presence..none. The 1le and zl1 options make the car look way better but its not helping sales. The 5th gen has that classic muscle car look that the Camaro wont have again.

[@blackice7408]

Actually dodge is with their hp, growing fame, and popularity. The camaro unfortunately is dying. And it a shame because the camaro is a serious performer

[@codymiller1994]

@@blackice7408 Yep, it’ll be sad when the Camaro out of production again. I’m more of a mustang fan, but competition is always good. If it wasn’t for the 5th Gen Camaro, I’m not sure Ford would’ve even bothered to make the 5L for the Mustang.

[@isnowyazn]

@@Tywild327Clapped out? No way, not unless you’re living somewhere where people are of the “I know what I’ve got” mentality or are just upmarking at a dealership like crazy. I see a lot of high mileage (100k+ miles) 5th gen 1SS and 2SS coupes and convertibles going for around $16-25k; obviously with the later year models costing a bit more. Most 5th gen RS’ models 🎉that are genuinely high mileage or “clapped out”, at least with a clean title; those still rake in anywhere from under $10k to maybe $18k tops. And the ZL1 and Z28 (obviously) are still appreciating in value. I personally have a 2010 2SS LS3 coupe, and I would’ve personally opted for a 2013, for the 10-13 chassis and 14-15 goodies.

I bought a gen 5 indy edition 3 weeks ago. long ago I had such a fun car to drive. People turn to the car daily.

[@acidtrunks1727]

benefits: usually the filter is an open air element, meaning its not in a intake box. the filter is usually routed down low away from the heat of the engine so you get cooler denser air which equals more power, makes an awesome sound as the revs rise. Downside: If you hit a puddle or drive in the rain theres a chance you can suck water into your engine which can be pretty bad

[@tripsadelica]

Yeah...pity about that. Your Detroit beancounters are about to destroy 90 years of Australian car manufacturing in one fell swoop. GM should NEVER have been allowed to buy Holden in the 1930s. You sucked us dry...used our talent to improve your products and then dumped Holden as soon as the fire grew a bit hot. In the GFC profits from Holden helped keep GM afloat. So you keep your Chevy. I will never buy a US-sourced, made or designed vehicle ever again and many Aussies feel the same way.

[@dirt2595]

+tripsadelica and by the way, the 6th Gen is built on the alpha platform and is lighter and faster with another American v8 and chassis... Overall upgrade... So none of this matters now...

[@tripsadelica]

It matters to me. It matters to my fellow Australians. I will never buy another GM, Ford or any other US vehicle again and I'm not alone here. GM will rue the day it screwed us over. Its sales here will tank, big time. Ford is already slumping badly in local sales. From now on I will buy Japanese or European.

Their powerplants produce between 550 and 700 horsepower, depending on the track type.They are 2.2-liter twin-turbocharged, direct-injected V6 engines that run at 12,000 rpm during the race. While Indycars once burned pure, clear-burning methanol fuel, today’s cars burn E85 ethanol/gasoline mix that provides the high-octane power benefits of alcohol fuel, but one that burns with a visible flame so that fire are easier to spot and extinguish.
