Head Games: 2012 Chevy Camaro Adds Power, Saves Fuel
New cylinder head design combines key parts into single aluminum casting
In auto production, more power, better fuel economy and fewer emissions rarely appear together. But the 2012 Camaro 3.6L direct injection V6 engine achieves all three by combining the exhaust manifold with the cylinder head into a single aluminum casting.
Each integrated exhaust manifold cylinder head – a V6 has two — replaces a cast iron exhaust manifold, six bolts, a gasket and a heat shield and three bolts. By eliminating this joint, the potential for a gasket failure is eliminated. And the change reduces engine weight by 13 lbs. or 6 kg per engine. Reducing mass helps improve fuel economy and the 2012 Camaro 2LS model is EPA estimated at 30 mpg highway. <Continued HERE for more info, photos, and video>

The Gardella Racing – Redbull/Mobil 1 Formula Drift Camaro [photos/info] debuted this weekend at Road Atlanta in the Formula Drift Road to the Championship event. Here’s a recap of what happened in this past weekend’s qualifying and drift competition:
Right from the gate Thursday’s practice was very exciting for the GR team. Even with limited testing time, the 2011 Mobil 1 Chevy Camaro handled and ran great. The LS7 engine worked wonders and sounded almost perfect. It is common to have a few minor glitches with a new build and this was no exception; however, the issues did not affect the team during competition. Once practice was over on Friday, the team went right into qualifying. After his first lap, Tuerck scored a 91.0 and a 94.4 for his second run. His final score put Tuerck and Gardella Racing in the 2nd position on the qualifying ladder behind the leader, Conrad Grunewald, heading into Saturday’s elimination rounds.
“It was great to see two Chevy Camaro’s qualify number one and two,” started team owner, Gary Gardella. “This was essentially our first outing with the Mobil 1 Camaro and I could not be any more proud of my team and the hard work they put into preparing for this event,” continued Gardella. “I could not ask for anymore out of these phenomenal group of guys. Each and every one of my team members worked around the clock over the past month to have this vehicle ready for competition. In my opinion the team does not often get enough credit when a car does well; Mike Whitney, Scott Davidson & Eric O’Sullivan deserve some recognition.”
During top 32, Tuerck faced Tako Aono, a driver who has not missed an event since Formula Drift’s conception in 2003. Due to Aono running into some mechanical issues, Tuerck was able to easily advance on to the Top 16 round. The next battle was very interesting, Justin Pawlak vs. Ryan Tuerck. These 2 guys are long time friends, but it never stops either driver from giving it their all. Minor contact early on, threw off the alignment on the Camaro, which made it very difficult for Tuerck to drive. Pawlak advanced and went on to the next round to get eliminated by his teammate, Darren McNamara.

The first 5th gen V6 Camaro to break into the 11′s in quarter mile run has been recorded by Camaro5 member HDRS! This was achieved with a 11.961 @ 112.94mph run at the Atco track last night. Congrats to HDRS. [Video of run INSIDE]
As expected, breaking into the 11′s for a V6 Camaro took the aid of forced induction (125 nitrous shot, but no turbo/supercharger), but this is still an exciting feat!
Here are this V6 Camaro’s modifications: Injen CAI, MRT axle back V2., Resonator delete, Secondary cats delete Hoosier 18 inc slicks on TSW wheels 45lbs each, Front Stock spare 40lbs each. 125 shot of nitrous armed at the line and tank of fuel 98 octane
