Isn't that some sort of Saleen after market body kit that is on the new Bumblebee in the new Transformers movie? I personally don't like it.

Yenko wasn't exactly an option per say. Yenko Chevrolet was a dealership in Pennsylvania that special ordered and modified cars that came through their doors, most notably Camaro's. For example, they would put 427's in first generation Camaros which you couldn't get from the factory until later on. They also modified the cars with disc brakes and special stripes among other things.

So the short answer is yes, a Yenko Camaro is higher performance Camaro, but not an "option"

After Saleen made those dumb comments about bumblebee during the time Transformers movie was coming, i kinda lost respect for him. Camaro is beautiful car and all they are going to do is make it look nice, add a couple of ponies underhood and charge premium price.

In addition to what others have said, the Yenko Chevrolet dealership is gone and the name is now owned by a Japanesse auto maker. So there won't be any 2010 Yenko Camaro's.

its not really an aftermarket body kit if there is no market yet.


bumblebee is a GTO with a custom camaro body made by saleen. but after steve's comments about it, not even thanking GM or bay for asking his company to do this, **** saleen. i dont need a body kit and an overpriced supercharger to make my car fast.

maybe. i imagine someone will copy it when the camaro comes out. a BB clone, which will then be the basis of TF3, where there are thousands of Camaros on the road and the decepticons dont know which one is BB, till all of us, climb out of the car and they all transform into BB clones.

Let's all remember who owns the current fastest production car, the SSC (Saleen Super Cars) Ultimate Aero. That's all I'm going to say.

and how much does it cost? take a Z06 vette and spend the money you have left over after buying it to supe it up till youve spent the same you would have to on the aero and see where they stand.

Just remember when driving your saleen that your top speed is drag limited by the vehicle that is towing you...
