Vehicle Description
Yenko, Baldwin, Macho, Callaway - all legendary motoring names that
took Chevrolet Camaros to incredible heights. If you're familiar
with those performance titans, then you've likely heard of the mad
geniuses at Berger Chevrolet in Grand Rapids, MI and all the
high-horsepower masterpieces they created through the years. When
the Camaro was reintroduced in 2010, Berger wasted no time in
developing a 'modern muscle car' for the new era, ultimately
building a limited run of high-end sportscars like this 2010
Chevrolet Camaro Berger SS. Only 20 of these uber-exclusive models
were ever made (this is #4), and the 525HP/450LB-FT of torque
supercharged monster that they birthed is one of the most memorable
late-model American supercars ever created. With less than 20K
actual miles on the clock and a top-flight documented pedigree,
this special Camaro is as rare as they come. Take a closer look,
because the odds of seeing another one of these Berger Camaros are
incredibly slim.
It isn't subtle, but when you can run blistering quarter mile times
at will, well, there's not much reason to keep a low profile.
Actually, the 'Prescriber Power' mods are pretty low-key relatively
speaking, and if they don't look close, most folks on the street
won't see this as the threat it actually is. Of course, the slick
appearance begins with a super-clean 2010 Camaro 2SS coupe with the
RS package that was covered in miles-deep Imperial Blue Metallic
paint and features all the killer exterior goodies that come with
the all-new 5th generation Camaro. The Berger package turns those
looks up to '11' with a set of custom-painted white Rally stripes
on the hood and decklid, a custom-painted grille opening up front,
and a '60s-style 'big block' blacked-out tail panel. Add in a cowl
hood, an aggressive front fascia with fog lights, a chin spoiler,
and lower grille, along with the decklid spoiler and rear diffuser,
and the result is simply stunning. The original owner kept the car
in the warm, dry South, so it still looks really good, but does
show several imperfections mostly on the front and rear bumper
covers. But with that being said, it's obvious that the car has
never been track-raced, or flogged, so the paint still has a
factory fresh shine that can be easily seen in our photos. The dark
blue paint is better than you'd expect for GM, befitting a much
more expensive car, and the retro-inspired look is aging well,
because this car still gets a lot of looks on the street. Add in
those dramatic 'SS' and Berger fender badges, Prism Blue Bowtie
emblems fore and aft, oversized chrome exhaust tips, and the
hunkered-down stance, and you have one heck of an intimidating
Camaro.
Inside, it's pretty much the same as any other late-model Camaro SS
you've seen: deeply sculpted leather buckets, a fat steering wheel,
retro-style gauges, and tons of creature comforts. 'SS' badges
embroider the headrests, you get a Berger numbered dash plaque
(again, this is #4 of 20 total cars, by the way), and 'SS by
Berger' embroidered floor mats atop the plush black carpets below.
Otherwise, Berger leaves well enough alone inside, allowing the
awesome styling of the 2SS Camaro to take over, and it comes fully
loaded with practically every option available to GM in 2010. The
seating position is pretty good if you're intending to go fast,
although you should familiarize yourself with your surroundings,
because this car gathers speed so quickly, you'll find yourself in
another zip code before you can count to 10. Don't say we didn't
warn you. And if you just want to cruise, it's happy to do that
with ice cold A/C, heated power seats up front, a 4-pack auxiliary
gauge packaged in the center console, a kickin' Boston Acoustics
Premium 9-speaker stereo system, an illuminated Driver Information
Center, and great road manners thanks to a deep overdrive on the
6-speed automatic gearbox. You even get a decent-sized trunk as
part of the deal, complete with cargo net and a 'Camaro by Berger'
car cover.
Under the hood, there are big, obvious changes from the stock spec
2SS. One, the intake manifold has been replaced by a supercharger.
Two, there's a 'Prescribed Power by Berger' engine decal and a
couple noteworthy signatures on the shocktowers. And three,
horsepower is up to 525. That honkin' supercharger, combined with
airflow modifications, a reprogrammed ECU and software package, and
a stainless-steel chambered cat-back exhaust system all work
together seamlessly, and the power delivery is simply incredible.
Of course, it's all been properly tuned so it starts quickly, idles
nicely, and doesn't get fussy during routine driving either, and my
goodness does it sound nasty when the taps are wide open. A
smooth-shifting 6-speed automatic transmission handles all the
supercharged power with ease, and it spins a lively Stabiltrack
rear end. The revised suspension is up to the task, with new
progressive rate springs, urethane radius rod bushings, and
urethane rear subframe bushings working together with giant Brembo
4-wheel disc brakes that stop the car on a dime. 3-piece Forgeline
20-inch wheels with custom machined 'SS' centers are wrapped with
275/40/20 front and 305/35/20 Pirelli performance tires to finish
off the look.
Rare, pedigreed, and turn-key ready, this Berger Camaro represents
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of motoring history
that you can actually have a ton of fun with. Call now!
