After revealing the first official images of the 2010 Camaro SS, Chevrolet today announced that dealers will start taking orders for both Camaro and Camaro SS in October. Production will begin in mid-February, and cars will be in dealerships by mid-March 2009.
"We think there could be pent-up demand," said Chevrolet Spokesman Terry Rhadigan, explaining why orders are being taken well in advance of the car’s appearance in showrooms. Buyers may also have to put a deposit for the Camaro, but that requirement is completely up to Chevrolet dealers. The Camaro SS is expected to be priced around $30,000, while the V6 cars will start in the low $20000.
GM revealed this morning the first official image of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the most powerful version of the newly launched 2010 Camaro.

The Camaro SS will feature fuel-saving Active Fuel Management on automatic-equipped combinations and the FE3 (performance) suspension.
The production version of the 2010 Camaro has been spotted running around in Michigan. The photos were taken by Garrett Brown.
The 2010 Camaro will be offered in 10 available exterior colors and three different trims: LS and LT models offered with an advanced, 3.6L direct-injected V-6 engine with variable valve timing and a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions and SS model offered with 6.2L V-8.

Ian Cook, the 25-year-old artist from Solihull, West Midlands, has found his artistic niche using remote controlled cars and old tires. Chevy took notice of his unorthodox style of art work and commissioned two paintings from Cook for the London auto show. One was of the Camaro convertible, done live during the opening day of the auto show, and the other of the Beat concept car.
The artwork were created using remote control cars driven through acrylic paints, with further detail added by using old car tires. “I wanted to be an artist from a young age and decided that to be successful I needed something completely unique,” said Ian. “I’ve always been mad about anything with wheels and I figured that using cars to paint cars would capture peoples’ imaginations, so I experimented at home by driving some remote control models through paint.”
The Nurburgring race showed some surprises in terms of performance such as the result of the V8 Chevrolet Camaro SS of GM which finished the run in 8m20s. Even though it remained behind by almost 1 minute compared with the Corvette ZR1 ( 7m26s) and the Nissan GT-R(7m29s) is still managed to surpass supercars like E36BMW M3 and Porsche 911 GT3. Anyway, this runs helped Camaro’s engineers to identify the best tires, steering and suspensions for the car.
Programmed for the mass market in 2010, all the Camaro models, V6 and V8, will receive the latest stability control system, StabiliTrack. The SS will have instead the same computer controlled active handling system as the Corvette. Camaro SS will also feature a special track mode which can disable, when wanted, the car’s electronic stability and traction control . The manual models will get a special launch control mode.
GM made official the 2010 Camaro, "a heritage-inspired sports car for the 21 st century, combining great looks and performance; advanced technology and surprising efficiency – including 26-mpg estimated highway fuel economy."

The Camaro is built on GM’s global RWD platform and is being offered with two suspensions. LS and LT models receive an FE2 (sport) suspension, while the SS receives the FE3 (performance) suspension, including a lower ride height.
