Chevy's Coveted Pony Car to Shine in the Vegas Lights

Text Size

If you thought last year's SEMA Show was the 2010 Chevy Camaro's time to shine, think again. This year marks the first time the Camaro has officially been on the market and as such, in the garages of some of the world's most intrepid parts suppliers and performance gurus.

Just standing still, the Camaro oozes American Muscle and with a few touches on its exterior -- as well as under its chiseled hood -- this Pony car can become quite the menacing character. From the basic aero enhancements offered by GM Performance to the 700-plus menacing machines from the likes of Lingenfelter and Hennessey, the range of Camaro tuning runs the gamut at the 2009 SEMA Show. Here are best Camaros we've seen thus far.

Lingenfelter Camaro

Famed Corvette tuner Lingenfelter has utilized its skills on the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro to create a 750-hp monster. Key to this beast is its 7.0L LS7 V-8 that's been supercharged and completely tuned. A custom Hotckis suspension setup helps deter the model's pesky tendancy to understeer, while Brembo binders eat away speed.

Hurst 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

It may not have all the horsepower the Lingenfelter or Hennessey renditions do, but it sure does look pretty. Shod in all black with a custom sticker set, the Hurst Camaro sports its Magnaflow exhaust, Eibach suspension, and 20-in. forged wheels proudly. Inside, passengers will find a numbered plaque and a short throw shifter with pistol grip.
