Chevrolet Leno Camaro SEMA Concept car (with Pedders suspension) unveiled by Jay Leno - Camaro Forum - 2011 Camaro 2010 Camaro / Camaro Z28 SS Forums

Info@PeddersUSA.com · 11-03-2009, 04:18 AM

If you have followed our threads, you will know that we are a preferred vendor for GM, and have had the honor of working extensively with GM on the 2010 Camaro and other projects in the past and are working on future ones as well. This is a great honor for Pedders! The engineers we are working with are seriously first class and is a honor to work with them!! The install of this twin turbo is beyond good!. It is flawless and perfect. The guys at Milford are SERIOUSLY beyond perfect!!

GM made a very special Camaro for SEMA for Jay Leno. Guess what suspension system is on the the Queen of the Show? PEDDERS!!!!!! In fact, EVERY GM Camaro that GM made is riding on Pedders!!

Here is the data that was released tonight that we were present at the press introduction:

Powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injected V-6 that is standard in Camaro LS and LT models, Leno’s Camaro blends high performance with surprising efficiency in a racing-ready package. A pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers blows through a custom air-to-air intercooler, force-feeding the engine about seven pounds of boost and lifting its horsepower level to about 425. That’s about 40 percent greater than stock and in normal driving (when the turbochargers aren’t making boost), there’s virtually no penalty in fuel economy over the non-turbocharged 3.6L engine.

“Jay’s Camaro offers style, performance and efficiency in a big way,” said Dewar. “It delivers the power of a Camaro SS on demand, but with the fuel economy of a V-6.”

Supporting upgrades for the turbo system include a larger-capacity Be-Kool radiator and a custom exhaust system, as well as a Centerforce-supplied clutch and pressure plate for the six-speed manual transmission. The tubing for the turbo system is powder-coated blue. The powertrain was designed to deliver consistent, controllable power for both the street and race track. In fact, road racing was a primary mission for the car during its development.

Additional vehicle also support its racing intent:
• Brembo six-piston brake package
• Pedders coil-over lowering kit
• New front fascia with custom fog lamps and integral brake cooling vents
• Air extractor-style hood

The exterior styling of Leno’s car is the most radical of all the Camaro concepts at SEMA. The front fascia and hood are one-off creations as are the unique upper and lower grilles and the ground effects package (including a rear diffuser). The heritage-inspired vent styling in front of the rear wheels has been replaced with functional brake cooling ducts.

Here are some pictures with Jay Leno introducing his Camaro:

I will be at SEMA all week, and wil be making more posts. If you have questions about any of the GM Camaros, just ask.

thanks

I think those wheels are BBS CH-Rs with bowtie emblems.

SVT_SRT · 11-03-2009, 09:24 AM

Guys I can't take it anymore maybe I should just trade my Shelby in for an RS/SS. UGH!!! this z-28 yay-nay go-no is making me impatient.

*Moose* · 11-03-2009, 09:26 AM

Now THAT is one of the better looking 5th Gens. I've seen!

Not "overly done" with paint, body modifications, etc.!

Just a "clean", bada@@ look.

Truly one of the best looking 5th Gens.!

garcmol · 11-03-2009, 09:28 AM

I don't know crap about turbos or superchargers. With that said, what is the purpose of the GMPP airbox under the hood? It doesn't look like it's even hooked up. Does turbo use air from outside or what? Hate to ask dumb questions, but I don't understand.

Not in that order

Edit: Number 3 corrected the order

JBz007 · 11-03-2009, 09:40 AM

I love the style of this car and personally I am not against a TTV6. “It delivers the power of a Camaro SS on demand, but with the fuel economy of a V-6.” When I can finally afford a Camaro and if this is available (likely not), this is what I would get.

Turbos use the exhaust to turn a turbine to compress fresh outside air and force back into the intake manifold.

You still have air intake just on the opposite side of the turbo. The airbox is still used but the intake pipe is under it and back to the turbo then that goes to the engine intake.

I agree! I like the exhaust cutouts but dont they look like large USB ports?

speedster · 11-03-2009, 10:00 AM
