Chevrolet Camaro at Delhi Auto Expo

General Motors is planning to unveil its pony car or muscle car Camaro at the upcoming Delhi Auto Expo in January. The model was initially designed by General Motors to compete with Ford Mustang but in India it is coming as a part of brand building exercise for the company. General Motors has not confirmed any plans so far to launch the car in the Indian market.

The fifth generation Camaro went into production in March earlier this year. General Motors is expected to showcase the same model at the Expo. In the international market Chevrolet Camaro is available in 10 exciting colour snapped in two flavors, the V6-equipped LS trim and the V8-powered SS model. Other available features include a wireless cell-phone link, USB port, satellite radio, and remote engine start. Its 2-door convertible model is due to arrive in the overseas market by mid-2011.

Chevrolet delivers a modern muscle car in Camaro

Its macho styling, aggressive stance and eye-catching interior and exterior details have helped make the new Camaro a hit for Chevrolet and General Motors.

Maybe it was the Rally Yellow paint. Maybe it was the aggressive styling and lines.

But auto reviewer Scott Wasser found folks stopped and took notice as he tooled around in a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.

Chevy pays homage to its Camaro heritage while highlighting state-of-the-art freshness in its 2010 model, according to Wasser.

The Camaro comes in three trim levels with starting prices ranging from $22,680 for an LS to $33,450 for a 2SS. Wasser's test car was a mid-level 2LT with a starting price of $26,580 that climbed to $37,345 with options and delivery fees.

"Part of its optional ($1,450) RS detail package is a circular 'halo' light that surrounds the Camaro's high-intensity discharge headlamps," Wasser writes. "BMW may have pioneered this feature and certainly is best known for it, but it works incredibly well with Camaro. It gives the stunning sporty coupe more than merely eye-catching styling; it helps give it personality."

The Camaro's ride, handling and mileage (17 city/29 highway) are unexpectedly good, but its great retro styling and feel trump all, Wasser says.

He wasn't a fan of what he describes as seriously restricted sight lines from the pilot's seat. But Wasser says the car is a home run nonetheless.

"It's thoroughly modern engineering and sleek styling should be a hit with anyone seeking a sporty coupe, but the Camaro's greatest appeal will be with those who want to own a piece of rolling nostalgia."

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS join Formula D

Conrad Grunewald's Hankook Chevrolet Camaro SS Drift Car

Considering the Chevrolet Camaro's propensity for melting tire rubber, it was only a matter of time before someone turned one into a drift car. Now it's happened. BR Racing and Conrad Grunewald Racing have teamed up to campaign a Camaro SS in the 2010 Formula DRIFT season.

"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."
BR Racing will be building the Formula D Camaro using all carbon-fiber body work and a GM Performance LS-A supercharged 6.2L V-8 crate engine making over 600 hp. Eibach Multi-Pro-R2 adjustable dampers and coilovers will keep the suspension in check while the Hankook Ventus R-S3 tires will be sacrificed to the racing gods on an altar of Forgeline three-piece aluminum wheels.

If you'd like to follow along, the Formula D Camaro's build-up will be chronicled on Conrad Grunewald's website and the finished product will make its debut at SEMA in November ahead of the start of the 2010 Formula DRIFT
