21st Century Camaro

With the introduction of the Camaro Concept at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, Chevrolet underlines its intent to return to the rear-drive, V8-powered muscle car fray. This car turns the clock back nearly 40 years, taking the original 1967-69 as inspiration. But like any retro-mod original, the hardware underneath is all new. A Corvette-sourced 6.0-liter V8 belts out 400 horsepower, and those ponies get put to the ground through a six-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. Other goodies include a four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes with 14-inch drilled rotors, and a four-seat interior that looks very much like the original Camaro.
