My sincere apologies, the website that I had posted the link to about the 2009 Camaro has now been turned into a parked page so I will do my best to re-create what was there!
Ok, basically the 2009 Camaro is GM’s answer to taking a classic motor vehicle and modernizing it but still leaving no doubt in your mind that this is simply a re-creation of a once iconic car. Do you like that sentence? Took me about fifteen minutes to write that! Ok, no more horsing around.
Originally built as a concept car, GM officials decided to push it into production after it was “an instant hit” at the 2007 Detroit Motor Show. Production is scheduled for the end of 2008 with the dealers recieving the first of the new cars early in 2009.
The 2009 Camaro is based on GM’s ‘Zeta’ platform, which underpins the Holden Commodore, the new Pontiac GTO and the Pontiac G8. The platform was designed to be adaptable across a wide range of vehicles and is said to be remarkably stiff, well suited to the new Camaro.
The new car will feature multi-link rear suspension, manual or automatic transmissions and V6 or V8 power. The standard V6 model will recieve the 3.6 litre version of GM’s global V6 and is likely to produce around 240-260 horsepower. The V8 powerplant will most likely be the 6.2 liter Gen VI with around 400 horsepower. GM is currently working on a direct injection version of the V8 and they expect increases in power output and fuel effiency with this engine. There is talk of this engine producing around 450 horsepower! The transmissions will most likely be the six-speed manual and six-speed automatic as found in the Commodore.
