The new Chevrolet Camaro is now back in US dealer
showrooms which price will start at $30,995. The
2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS will be offered with either
of two 6.2-liter V8 engines: a L99 on automatic-equipped
vehicles and a LS3 on manual-equipped models.
Horsepower for the L99 is 400 (298 kW) at 5,900 rpm
and torque is 410 lb.-ft. (556 Nm) at 4,300 rpm. The
LS3 develops 426 horsepower (318 kW) at 5,900 rpm
and 420 lb.-ft. (569 Nm) at 4,600 rpm (all numbers
are SAE certified). Output on the L99 is lower than
the LS3 because of a slighter lower compression
ratio (10.4:1 vs. 10.7:1) and design features of the
Active Fuel Management System. The L99 is paired
exclusively with an automatic transmission.
