Wonder if the new suspension package can be added to the 2010-2011 model Camaros

DarkneSS · 04-13-2011, 12:30 PM

This is great, nice improvements and they didnt shaft us people who bought 2010/11 models.

Probably. I'm waiting to see what the other adjustments are. Sway bares, links, shocks, struts, definitely have to change the lower control arms in the rear as well because of the new sway bar link placement.

Hate the steering wheel!

Very nice, a little upset that the SS hasn't had a change in power for the second year in a row

But overall some good changes here. a more ergonomic wheel (should have the camaro logo in it) backup cam, wheels, and a new suspension. might be just me but id rather have a chevy 100th anniversary camaro insted (here's to dreaming

) like on the new Vette, that would be a hard car to keep on a lot

My guess is that most of the FE4 suspension can be easily retrofitted to the earlier V8s and all V6s cars.

TQ was actually brought down in the power band. The LLT is rated at 278ft/lbs at 5100 rpm, the new LFX is rated at 278 at 4800.

I wonder why the FE4 isn't being offered on the V6 models?

Sweet!!! New suspension package for my 2012 SS.

They don't consider the v6 a true performance car. I plan on looking into adding it to mine though.

Did anyone hear anything about the 45 in a convertible? I know there are a lot of haters out there for drop tops but I have a 2010 and would love to have this in a convertible to go along with it.

I don't mind the stripes at all and the grey color is my favorite so far. Upgraded engine is fine by me. More power the better. As for the suspension, as long as it gets rid of the awful sound I hear all the time when I hit speed bumps im all for it.

I really like the use of the older camaro shield. Looks awesome.

Camaro8810 · 04-13-2011, 12:45 PM

The stripe is a little odd to me but other than that, looks great.

Kamaro223 · 04-13-2011, 12:46 PM

Looks like the rear view mirror is a different shape and the fog light bezels are different too!

Thanks GM for keeping the car fresh!!

I waited to buy one thus far and this is why...you'll have my money for this one!!

Dr Jkel · 04-13-2011, 12:47 PM

I have a dumb question so please dont flame. Since the Camaro came back out we have ALOT of new GM Parts that are offered for our cars, like the Hurst shifter, Dovetail Spoiler in the Synergy Series, performance upgrades from Pfadt and Pedders Etc.....

If you were to order a 2012 could you order the car with all the items on it even if it wer a dealer installed item and it be on the build/sticker?
