Camaro Faqs

The engine in the 2000 Camaro 302, features a specially modified LS6 cylinder heads, custom-built pistons and lightweight rods. SLP Engineering, which works with Chevrolet and Pontiace to build the Camaro SS and Firebird Firehawk, among other high-performance vehicles, contribute a lightweight flywheel, aluminum differential cooler, and that heavy-duty axle assembly.

The 302 also features a carbon fiber driveshaft. The chassis has been stiffened with Hotchkis springs, sway bars, rear control arms, panhard bar and strut tower brace. Koni double adjustable shocks and Baer Racing 14-inch cross-drilled brake rotors and PBR calipers help with cornering. The 302’s interior is complete with an L.G. Motorsports roll bar, special Recaro seats with five-point safety belts and a Billet Hurst six-speed shifter.

Early next month, when GM opens up their stand at the Detroit Auto Show, you should expect to see a concept version of the new Camaro Convertible front and center. While the Camaro’s debut at last year’s show was a surprise, there are leaks aplenty surrounding the ‘vert.

So, while it wont exactly be a shocker when it appears, it’ll still have our tongues wagging. The Car Connection, who has the story, mentions that when the Coupe finally bows, we can expect to see 6- and 8-cylinder (obviously) versions. We’ve heard juicy rumors from inside sources about a potential horsepower figure beginning with “5″ for the top-of-the-line Z28/SS/whatever-they’ll-name-it.

When first looking at this Nomad it could be dismissed as just a simple and nice restoration. To the untrained eye, that statement may be true. This story runs much deeper than what first appears on the surface. Let’s go deep and find out what sets this Nomad apart from its other brothers.

Al Goe, the owner of this classy cruiser, has a soft spot for the ‘56 Chevy, and he can trace its roots back several decades. When Al and his wife were first married, they purchased a brand-new one, and the couple undoubtedly shared years of adventure roaming around in the Tri-Five middle child. As the years marched on, vehicles came and went, but the ‘56 remained on Al’s mind.
