Camaro's With Turbocharger's Not Gonna Happen Any Time Soon

The upcoming 2015 Ford Mustang will be offering a turbocharged four-cylinder engine with the car. The chief engineer of Chevrolet, Al Oppenheiser, agrees that  although this is currently "the golden era of the pony car...there may be a day when nobody has a V8."

Turbocharged Camaro? It Ain't Happening Soon

The new Z/28 and it's 7 liter V8 is likely going to built on a smaller and lighter rear-wheel-drive platform for the sixth generation Camaro's. There are also fuel-saving stretchers for the Corvette with it's premium lightweight materials and a seven speed manual.

The First 2014 COPO Camaro Auction

Chevrolet's COPO program is returning with a fifth generation COPO Camaro collab of race cars. Like the past two years, only 69 of these dragsters will be built for use in the NHRA Stock Eliminator and Super Stock classes.

Customers now have a wider range of engines to pick from. Not only the 7 liter V8 engine, but a supercharged version of the 5.7 V8 introduced this year. While the engine may be altered, the COPO uses racing chassis and suspension components, including independent rear suspension. Every car comes with safety equipment, including an NHRA certified roll cage.



The Camaro also comes with new racing seats, a new wheel design, and an updated graphics package.

The only Camaro that will be painted Ice Blue Metallic has the #1 serial number. It will be auctioned off at Barrett Jackson's annual January event in Scottsdale, Ariz. All proceeds from that car will go to Achilles Freedom Team of Wounded Veterans.

DANG THATS A LOT OF NEW STUFF!!!

Also from Stingray, is the Convertible Atlantic concept car. One part of a pair, the Atlantic comes in silver, BLADE SILVER; which Chevy said is meant to call to mind a private jet. Carbon Flash Metallic covers the front splitter, rocker extentions, and lower diffuser. There are also chrome 5-spoke wheels, molded splash guards, wheel center caps with Stingray script, custom luggage and embroidered center armrest with the logo. A six speed automatic is included.

New Changes to the 2014 Chevy Camaro


The new changes that may make you say, DANG, will really make you want new things. The Chevy MyLink interface with a 7-inch touchscreen display has been added in addition to a head-up display system. There is also a more streamlined front that provides improved cooling and better stability at high speeds. Headlights are also slimmer and a vented hood has been added. The rear has similar things like single unit horizontal tail lights.

Redline Motorsports Outfits a 2014 Camaro ZL1 With Twin Turbos

2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS New York 08

Some customers can be quite picky about what they want in a custom Camaro. This customer however decided that his car wasn't fast enough.
Usually a standard Chevy Camaro that rolls out of the production line has a standard 580 hp. With Redline Motorsports, they come out with a TVS1900 supercharger, which wasn't good enough apparently. To make it work, they removed it and replaced a twin turbo system from IPS Motorsports.


The factory supercharger was removed and an LS3 manifold was put into place. Two Garrett GT35R turbos were added, running at 14 psi each. The owner of the car also wanted to keep the stock auto transmission but wanted a little bit of extra power.
