What Do You Want to Know About the 2010 Camaro SS?

Monday, July 26th, 2010

This week in The Smoking Tire garage, we’ve got a Rally Yellow 2010 Camaro SS with a 6-speed and the RS package. It’s pretty much loaded at $36,000. We’ll be filming with it tomorrow, and I’d like to answer some viewer questions about it. So, what do you want to know about the 2010 Camaro SS? Leave a comment and if it’s not too-stupid, we’ll address it on camera.

2011 Mustang GT 5.0 vs. 2010 Camaro SS Drag Race

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

OF COURSE we were going to show the whole drag race. Here it is. Clearly, the Mustang slaughters the Camaro in a 1/8 mile drag race on a runway. The drivers were two Ford engineers, and for those of you who think the Camaro driver sandbagged, he was a former pro racer who cut a .001 light. The Mustang driver cut a .008 light. Happy Easter!

For the serious performance modder, AmericanMuscle has a great selection of Mustang heads to take your Stang to the next level.
