SEMA: Camaro Synergy

Andy — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:02:50 +0000

The Camaro Synergy concept previews a new Synergy Green production exterior color that will be offered on a special-edition Camaro in the first half of 2010. It also features a host of the latest Camaro accessories offered through Chevy dealers. They dramatically enhance the performance appearance of the car, demonstrating the personalization possibilities open to Camaro owners. Designers took liberties with the accessories, creating a totally unique package. Details include:

21-inch wheels, with a black center finish and polished rim
Ground effects kit
Cyber Grey Rally hood stripes
High wing rear spoiler (future accessory)
Performance air intake
The ground effects include pronounced rocker moldings, a rear diffuser-type styling piece and a front spoiler. They, along with the rear wing spoiler and rally stripes, are finished in the production Cyber Grey color, although the ground effects and spoiler can be painted to match the exterior of the car. The Rally stripes are adhesive-backed and are offered in grey, black or white. They’re part of a broader range of heritage-inspired graphics that also include “hockey stick” stripes for the front fenders.

Chevy designers further enhanced the concept with a Pedders coil-over lowering kit and a set of large, Brembo brakes, as well as color-coordinating the Jet Black interior with Synergy Green accent stitching, piping and other accents. The lowering kit, brakes and interior accents are not among the accessories offered for the Camaro, but represent common and popular aftermarket upgrades. Chevrolet will gauge public interest in the features for possible inclusion in future accessory offerings.

Jackass: The LS9 Powered 1969 Camaro

Andy — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:13:06 +0000

These are the types of guys all of us grease monkeys really enjoy reading about. “Jackass” is built by Mark Stielow, a GM engineer. This car has the soul of a 1969 Camaro, with the brains and brawn of a 2009 Corvette ZR1. Stielow took a 1969 Camaro, added a LS9 (6.0L Supercharged), 6 piston carbon-ceramic brakes from the ZR1 wrapped in the ZR1’s wheels. The Transmission is a Tremec T56 6-Speed from a Dodge Viper.

In an interview with Inside Line when he was asked about the cost of Jackass, Stielow stated “Well, I can tell you it’s cheaper to just buy a ZR1,”. It took Mark over 20 months to build the car, because this is a one-off project and required quite a bit of custom fabrication. Some of these parts wont even be given to you unless you own a ZR1 and have the VIN to prove it.

“Well, I can tell you it’s cheaper to just buy a ZR1,” -Mark Stielow

We love this project, especially the pale daytona yellow paint that disguises the beast that is sitting under its hood. While this project may be a bit out of reach for most gearheads, it’s always nice to admire some fantasy projects.
