Well said Calfan! Thanks for the specs!

Calfan, WELL DONE!

As a previous owner of a 1975 350 V8 Munci 4 Speed Camaro Coupe, I have to tell you that I am very happy with my 2LT M6 SW 2010. It's my daily driver and it's 200% more functionaly than my 75 was for so many reasons. I may have enjoyed more torque from y old 350 (almost 400 pd/ft and over 350 HP) but it came at a tremendous cost at the pump and it was so very thirsty it was absolutely a weekend car. I have driven every generation of Camaro and this one is absolutely the best yet!

My 2010 2LT is a BLAST to drive and the power hooks up far better than my 75 did, even with all my mods of limited slip, frame connectors, 4 wheel disc , suspension mods etc. My country mechanic (who builds old GM cars for a living) said it best. GM is going to put my custom hot rod projects out of business! I can't build a better car for even double what a new 2010 Camaro costs, V6 or V8! This he said after he rebuilt a 65 Chevelle from two parts cars for a total of over $35,000 CDN.

SO, if you want a safer, more efficient and better handling Camaro to use as a daily driver, order yourself a V6 2010 Camaro with a manual 6 speed. YOU WILL LOVE IT, every time you get into it!

I am now leaving for a drive to anywhere, it's sunny and mild out! Later everyone!

Of the 15ea. Z28's offered over the past 34 years of Camaro history, only 4 have had more power than the 2010 V6.

Of all the 53 engines offered, only 11 have had more Horsepower than the 2010 V6.

Comparatively, the 2010 weighs best against the 2nd gen models; 1970 – 1981. Of the 2nd gen models, only 1 engine has offered more Horsepower than the 2010; the 1970 ½ Z28.

The 1st gen models weighed in at approx. 3040 lbs.
The 2nd gen models weighed in at approx. 3700 lbs.
The 3rd gen models weighed in at approx. 2940 lbs.
The 4th gen models weighed in at approx. 3440 lbs.
The 5th gen cars weigh in at approx. 3700 lbs.

If you’ve been a fan of the Camaro and it’s heritage, the 2010 V6 is amongst the top 25% of the most powerful Camaro’s produced in all 5 generations of this model car.

The SS, at 426 HP, is amongst the top 3%.

Used 75 Camaro = $3500
Rolling restoration over 10 years = $5000
$5 of gas burned in 10 seconds = Priceless!
