Vehicle
Model year 2010
Make Chevrolet
Model Camaro
Style 2SS 2dr Coupe (6.2L 8cyl 6M)
Redline (rpm) 6,600
Horsepower (hp @ rpm) 426 @ 5,900 (REMEMBER @ FLYWHEEL, approx. 374 @ the wheel)
Torque (lb-ft @ rpm) 420 @ 4,600 (REMEMBER @ FLYWHEEL, approx 369 @ the wheel)
Transmission type Six-speed manual
Tire type Summer
Tire size, front P245/45ZR20 103Y
Tire size, rear P275/40ZR20 106Y

Dimensions & Capacities
Curb weight, mfr. claim (lbs.) 3,860
Curb weight, as tested (lbs.) 3,894 (vs ours @ 3245, they're 649 lbs heavier)

Track Test Results
0-45 mph (sec.) 3.4
0-60 mph (sec.) 5.1
0-75 mph (sec.) 6.8
1/4-mile (sec. @ mph) 13.1 @ 109.4
0-60 with 1 foot of rollout (sec.) 4.7
Braking, 30-0 mph (ft.) 27
60-0 mph (ft.) 111

SEARCH, AND THOU SHALL RECEIVE!

For non personal reasons the search provided above makes it obvious. With a driver that actually has something rattling in his/her nugget you shouldn't have a problem keep pace with the 2010/11/12/13 2SS Camaro. You can drive a heavy, boat sized dime a dozen car. Or you can drive a 370Z!

I had the v6 verision, it was a great car and had zero problems with it. but it needed new tires and i wanted import so instead of dropping $1400 i put it towards the Z.

The tires are the stock Potenza RE050A and they only have 16,000 on them. It is rainy part of the year, so I basically drive in rain every day here in florida. Havent had a scare but have drove like a 90yr old lady since the scare. Maybe I will put some new tires on it.

With 16,000 on them, you've probably got about 10k more left. These tires don't last long at all. I always recommend buying a tire depth gauge.
