Vehicle Description
2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Coupe
The fifth generation Camaro had several options, each with specific
options and budget, desire, and intentions determined what option
you went with. For a commuter car with all the exterior appeal of
the newly minted 5thgen, the V6 was probably a good choice and not
too shabby with 300 horsepower. For weekend joy rides or as the
platform for hi-po mods, you may have gone with the 426 horsepower
V8 in the SS variants.
For consignment, a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS with a title verified
34,550 actual miles and a number of modifications that result in a
consignor stated 650 horsepower. Yes, when 426 horsepower just
isn't enough, we explore work to the heads, exhaust, and auxiliary
components to create a virtual Trojan horse where the outside looks
factory and a beast lies in wait under the hood.
Exterior
The "new" Camaro borrowed design cues from the first generation and
blew them up to modern proportions and to accommodate modern safety
features and trends. Our car is finished in two stage Aqua Blue
Metallic and is adorned with silver hood stripes that are matched
on the decklid. A Heritage grille has been added which replaces the
eggcrate grille and gives the aggressive front end a bit more
attitude, aided by RS darkened headlights and intake scoop on the
nose. Broad body panels rise to a turret like cabin with narrow and
sleek windows and a sharply raked windshield. The rear features
chrome trimmed tail lights, reverse lights embedded in the valance,
and big twin exhaust pipes carved into the rear splitter. 20-inch
Weld wheels, 5 spoked and black with chrome barrels, are the only
external cue that somethingis afoot with this Camaro. Imperfections
include a chip in the paint, multiple scrapes under the chin, a
ding over a wheel opening, and a touched up mark.
Interior
A glossy gray panel highlights the molded black plastic door panel,
simple, clean, and ergonomic. Black leather bucket seats are beefy
and supportive and feature SS embroidered in the substantial
headrests. The rear 2+2 seats are in pristine condition and the
molded sidewallsare featureless beyond the small armrest. The meaty
leather wrapped steering wheel has a number of thumb controls and
the gray rimmed gauges on the dash are square framed and large and
flank a digital readout. The center stack features some red rimmed
knobs and a series of control buttons under a small screen. An
AM/FM/CD radio features XM capability, Bluetooth, Boston Acoustic
speakers, and MP3 capability. A Barton short throw shifter stands
aggressively behind the quad gauge pod synonymous with Camaros. Low
pile charcoal carpet covers the floor protected by carpeted mats
and the solid roof car is covered by a molded cloth headliner, all
in great shape. The trunk includes a gray mat and shows a bit of
usage but is otherwise clean.
Drivetrain
Only mild visual cues to any modifications, the clean 6.2 liter,
362ci LS3 power plant has some internal additions that include a
.650 lift cam and ported and polished heads. A ZL1 fuel pump has
been added and once that fuel is burned, long tube headers send it
on its way. The Tremec TR6060 transmission is a 6-speed manual that
sends the ponies the limited slip rear with 3.45 gears. Of course,
power disc brakes are found front and rear.
Undercarriage
Remarkably clean underneath with no surface rust or errant oil
anywhere, all boots are intact and there is no exposed grease on
the knuckle or anywhere else. The 3" stainless steel dual exhaust
meets a pair of Flowmaster mufflers and then exits with pipeline
sized tips. Suspension consists of coil springs up front and 4.5
link on the independent rear.
Drive-Ability
What's hidden on the exterior is revealed in the exhaust note,
which is booming and guttural and everything we love about 3" dual
exhaust! The shifter is crisp, and the car gives up more of its
cards with the idle. Once rolling, there is an eagerness in its
power, but it is completely streetable and tame at low speeds. As
predicted, all functions work on this low mileage modern Camaro and
while we didn't test its potency, by all evidence provided to ears
and "seat of the pants," there's a lot of fun to be had here. While
Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at
the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions
will be working at the time of your purchase.
A wolf in sheep's clothing? Not really because the Gen 5 Camaros
looked aggressive from the factory, even when packing the base V6.
With some subtle exterior clues and interior features, this car
offers all the good stuff of the 2SS but has been tweaked to pull
some horses and provides a bellowing song that is as satisfying as
its aqua paint. If you bought the V6 and said "I coulda had a V8"
now's your opportunity to get one infused with a bit of hi-po
love.
