Americans invented the Camaro. Americans invented the lightbulb. Wouldn't it then make sense for Americans to get the Camaro with the best bulbs? Alas, shots of the new European Camaro show they're getting better, more fancy LED lights. Let's set fire to our mullets in protest! More »

Daniel O'Grady, an Australian into exploring old Japanese castles, happened upon this random sadness pile in Kurume City on Kyushu island. It's definitely a five-hanky lot of cars gone to seed, though rife with rusty-muscle-car porn. More »

We've seen the Camaro ZL1 looking pretty and rounding the Nürburgring in 7:41.27 and we've even peeked under its skirt. Now, ahead of the LA Auto Show, GM's released the vital numbers on its top-end Camaro to prove they're no one's bitch, least of all Ford's. It doesn't seem to be working. More »

Amateur car videos on YouTube rarely sweat the finer points: cinematography, dramatic development, narrative arc. Homemade clips, especially those with Camaros, too often go straight for cheap bad-ass-wannabe 'tude and general delinquency. This one is — thankfully — much different. More »

The boys over at Camaro5 have managed to snag a copy of the official 2012 Camaro ZL1 Dealer Reference Guide.

General Motors North American President Mark Reuss just claimed that the Chevy Camaro ZL1 has lapped the Nürburgring's Nordschleife in 7:41:27. That time places the upcoming top-of-the-line Camaro ZL1 a few tenths quicker than the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV. Not bad, GM. More »

Whatever the provenance of this vehicle, spotted outside a Texas bowling alley, we can't help but tip our hats to the audacity of it. Someone is either drinking Drano on a regular basis, or has licked one too many tree frogs. More »

Chevrolet took us to GM's Milford proving grounds for a look-don't-touch session with the company's new high-horsepower track animal — the Camaro ZL1. We didn't get to drive the prototypes on hand, but we did poke them with a stick and query engineers on their beastly spawn. Here's what we found out. More »

We've shown you the cars of Transformers 3 and the angry T3 trailer, so why not the (mostly GM) cars of T3 in a Chevy commercial that's basically a movie trailer? Also, a fairly accurate portrayal of what it's like to drive around Chicago during rush hour. More »

Geigercars, Germany's well-known tuner of American muscle, boosted the Camaro SS to 564hp and painted it in "bilious" green, which, as Wikipedia notes, means "marked by or suffering from liver dysfunction and especially excessive secretion of bile." Fast, but gross. More »

The old journalism saw says when you assume, you make an ass out of "u" and "me." Yet plenty of people have assumed that Ford's torrid love affair with turbocharged engines would eventually grow to include the Mustang, even though Ford itself has refrained from saying so.
