A few days ago we saw the Hennessey tuned Genesis Coupe reach output numbers of up to 500hp. Today we have another car coming from the tuning garage and this time it’s a 2010 Camaro.

Pictured above, this vehicle has a 725 hp and 741 lb-ft of torque making for a 0-60 of 3.5 and thanks to 15-inch Brembo brakes the ability to go from 60-0 in just 104 feet. Couple all of this with some carbon fiber body parts and 20-inch three-piece rims and you have yourself a very enticing vehicle.

Hennessey says we will see more of this vehicle at this year’s SEMA.

GM’s CEO Fritz Henderson has today done to honors of letting us know that there is in fact a convertible Camaro in the works and that it will hit the market in Q1 of 2011.

There were virtually no details as Henderson was quite mum when asked about the convertible Camaro but as Q1 2011 draws closer we are sure to hear a lot more of the vehicle.

Sure, the Chevy Camaro has outsold the Ford Mustang for the 3rd consecutive month but the same could not be said of the Toyota Prius. In fact, Kicking Tires reports that the Prius sold more than the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger combined.

Those numbers being 18,886, 8,680, 6,289 and 1,132 for the Prius, Camaro, Mustang and Challenger, respectively.

Now this shouldn’t come as a surprise to, well, anyone and will most likely prove itself to be a reoccurring trend considering rising gas prices and the fact that the Prius sips gas while the Camaro, Mustang and Challenger guzzle it.

Our friends over at Autoblog have recently compiled a list of monthly sales number and have come to an interesting conclusion; the Chevy Camaro has outsold the Ford Mustang for the third month in a row.

For the month of August, the Camaro sold 8,680 while the Mustang sold 6,289, sure it’s not the biggest gap every, but it’s certainly something. If you weren’t aware, this is such a big deal because normally Ford’s Mustang would outsell the Camaro pretty handidly.

Perhaps the Camaro’s appearance in Transformers had something to do with it?

What you see above is the image taken for the website for Benny Boyd GM SuperStore, a dealership located in Lamesa, Texas. As you can see, there is a man standing behind a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS giving viewers the birdy, but why?

While there is no telling why this image was put up or who the man is but considering it’s since been taken down we are going to assume it was an accident.

Perhaps the man is telling you that you will basically be giving the whole world the birdie if you buy the car. Then again, maybe not.

If you weren’t aware, back in 2005 GM had begun adding a corporate logo to their entire lineup of vehicles, it was said to be a “Mark of Excellence”. Well, back then GM had 8 brands but now they are down to 4 leading the company to believe it’s no longer necessary to remind folks that their vehicles are made by them.

Autoblog reports that vehicles such as the 2010 Camaro and Equinox already feature the emblem but will most likely not feature it once the current inventory is exhausted. This is most likely a smart move by GM considering their not so great publicity as of late (read: bankruptcy) but if/when we see GM return to greatness the question arises if these emblems will make a return.

Now, Chevrolet has yet to officially announce a convertible version of their popular Camaro, which means official shots are even farther away. However, there has been an much less official option but that’s never as good as the real thing.

Luckily, Jalopnik has gotten their hands on a shot of the drop-top Camaro driving around the streets of Australia. As you can see, the car looks exactly how you’d expect, a coupe Camaro with a convertible roof. Any questions?

GM recently detailed their intentions to officially bring the iconic Mustang to NASCAR. After this announcement, speculation began circulating that the Camaro too would be making its NASCAR debut.

Well it seems that speculation was wrong as Mark Kent, GM Racing head-honcho, recently commented on the car’s NASCAR involvement:

We’ve looked at racing the Camaro, and one thing we do not want to do is to force the car where it shouldn’t be, We looked at NASCAR, for example–took a very hard look at running the Camaro in the Nationwide series. That was a request made of us by NASCAR, and we have had a tremendous partnership with NASCAR, so we took a very hard look at it. At the end of the day, because of the quest for very close competition and the need to have templated bodies in that series, we felt that by forcing the Camaro into the Nationwide templates that we were compromising the body lines of an iconic car. So at the end of the day we just could not get the Camaro in the Nationwide series to satisfy our requirements.

Don’t lose all hope though as Kent then went on to say that the Camaro will most likely be making some sort of racing debut at some point in the near future. Unfortunately however, those looking for a Camaro NASCAR vehicle to transform into Bumblebee on the race track will have to wait until a later date.

Here we go again, another story of a teenager crashing a car because they can’t handle its power. This time the victim is a ‘69 Chevy Camaro that was crashed after a man’s 17 year old son decided to take the car for a joyride. Of course, he just had to pull a burnout on a street and upon hitting third gear found himself in a neighbor’s lawn.

The kid’s consequences include a wreckless driving ticket and his insurance company dropping him off the plan. Of course, I’m sure that doesn’t even compare to what his dad’s going to give him considering there were $30,000 worth of damages.

Chevrolet’s Camaro has been a picture perfect example of American muscle ever since its first production model was conceived. But what would happen if you dropped American muscle smack dab in the middle of the UK? Chevy is looking to find out.

They have recently announced that not only has their 2010 Chevrolet Camaro completely sold out despite the economical climate, but that they will begin selling the Camaro in Europe sometime in the near future.

Unfortunately no prices have been announced but the car is currently priced at $23,040 for a V6 touting 2010 Camaro and $35,423 for the V8 touting SS Camaro. The same goes for release dates, no word yet.

2010 Chevy Camaro

Lovers of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro have already placed orders for over 25,000 cars, but only half of these orders have been filled. Apparently demand hasn’t let up in spite of the downturn in the economy. Prices are remaining high due to the demand, as well, according to Bloomberg While many cars, foreign and domestic, on the market are offering some sort of financing or incentives on them, the Camaro has none.

In fact, it’s selling for about $500 over sticker price. The 2010 Camaro comes in a range of trims, starting with the entry-level V6-powered LS and mid-range LT model, and ending at the grin-inducing 6.2L V8-powered SS models. Both six-speed automatic and manual gearboxes are also available.

Whether the intent is just to get a glimpse of the new American muscle made cars or to possible purchase one would not matter at this point but if you think about it, consumers still prefer to check out these American-made cars.

Topping the list was Chevrolet’s all-new 2010 Camaro, up from No. 4 in April of this year. The recently redesigned 2010 Ford Mustang came in at No. 2 on the most-searched new vehicles on AutoTrader.com in May, down from No. 1 in April of this year. Rounding out the top three was the Dodge Challenger, which was introduced last year as a 2009 model.

“The 1-2-3 finish by Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge shows that the U.S. is still in love with the American muscle car and that the U.S. manufacturers are rolling out head-turning products that generate the same kind of buzz you hear for Hondas, Toyotas, BMWs and other foreign makes,” said AutoTrader.com President and CEO Chip Perry. “More importantly, the success of the Fusion and the Escape proves that domestic automakers are able to translate the excitement of their halo models into the cars and crossovers that make up the true heart of the American automotive marketplace.”

Not to take anything away from the other car manufacturers, but as mentioned earlier, these figures don’t sum up the intent. Viewership can be based on a lot of things such as merely for glimpses or even a blog review. But then again, who knows if people are simply waiting to get their hands on them when and if the whole recession and economic gloom is lifted.

GM has recently released a statement detailing the recall of around 300 2010 Chevy Camaros featuring V-8 engines.

The problem lies with the battery cable which potentially could rub against the starter motor causing the insulation to wear down. I’m sure you all know the hazards of having an open electrical wire sitting in your engine bay. Yes, fire.

If you own a 2010 Chevy Camaro with a V8 engine GM urgers you to call 800-630-2438 or visit www.gmownercenter.com.

Not that they will really transform or walk around the Chicago Auto show, the new cast of cars from General Motors that will be appearing in the Transformers’ sequel “Revenge of the Fallen” will be gracing the festivities. And heading the list is the “Bumblebee” Camaro which many would recall as the last car form that Bumblebee turned into.

Joining the orange Camaro in Chicago will be other characters from the film in their car forms. New additions to the sequel brandishing a GM badge include a 2010 Chevy Volt called Jolt, a Chevy Spark called Skids and a Trax concept called Mudflat (together known as the Twins), and a character called Sideswipe based on the still-yet-to-be-revealed Corvette Centennial Concept.

GM didn’t specify in its press release (included after the jump) which characters are accompanying Bumblebee to Chicago, but the venue at McCormick Place is one of the largest exposition centers in the world, so the more Transformers the merrier.
