Chevy Launches Camaro Configurator for the Middle Eastern Markets

Believe it or not, it's been about a month since we last posted anything about the new Camaro -we hope that you'll forgive us for not following the hype and posting about the speck of dust found on the brake pads on one of the show cars... While the new Camaro won't be heading towards Europe any time soon, in the Middle East were the money flows like petrol (you know what countries we mean), Chevy has launched an exclusive website where buyers can personally configure and pre-order the 2010 Camaro.

The first examples of the Chevy's reborn muscle car will hit the Middle East market this July. The Camaro will be offered with a 3.6L V-6 engine delivering 323HP and 380 Nm, and a 6.2-liter V8 pumping out an estimated at 462HP at 6,400 rpm and 609 Nm at 4,800 rpm of torque. Both models will be offered in the Middle East with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.

Russian Students Build Death Race Style Chevy Camaro

Inspired from the 2008 action film Death Race (which was a remake of the 1975 movie Death Race 2000) that revolves around a group of inmates racing their cars in a gladiator-like fight-to-the-end competition, a team of Russian students from Moscow's MHPI design school built a 'death racer' style Chevrolet Camaro that was exhibited at the Moscow Tuning Show 2009. The students used a mid-70's, second generation F-Body Camaro as a base for their project adorning it with numerous weapons and armor plates.

Muscle Car V8 Sound Comparo: New Camaro SS vs Challenger R/T vs Mustang GT

Masculine looks aside, one of the main traits of any authentic pony car is the sound of its V8 engine. With this in mind, Edmund's Insideline created a short video with the audio tracks of the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T and 2010 Ford Mustang GT. For the record, it seems that the Mustang was filmed on a different location than the other two cars, something that could have affected the sound quality. Either way, judging by this video, we'd give first place to the Stang because its V8 churns out a more consistent and less chainsaw-like sound with our second vote going to the Chevy. Check out the video after the jump cast your vote.

GM Releases "How Great the new Camaro is" Videos

Just as the 2010 Camaro begins to arrive at U.S. showrooms, the General released four new videos of its resurrected pony car that include media reactions from the presentation and a chat with the firm's Global Vehicle Line Executive, Gene Stephanyshyn, and President of Global Design, Ed Wleburn. For the record, all films were produced/edited by/for GM so don't be surprised that even the video with the automotive journalists' reactions, is about how stunningly good and flawless the new Camaro is...
