2010 Camaro, Plain & Simple Fifth Generation: 2010 – ?
Fifth-generation marks the return of the Camaro after an 8 year absence. This new body style is built on the Zeta RWD platform, produced by General Motors in Australia. Whereas previous Camaros were considered the F-Body type, this is a completely new chassis which is said to be lighter, has all wheel independent suspension, and better weight distribution.

1994 Z28 Camaro Fourth Generation: 1993 – 2002
Fourth-generation Camaro continued the hatch-back design introduced in the third generation. The Corvette LT-1 V8 was a powerful engine option introduced in this generation, which also offers a 6 speed transmission. After 35 years of Camaro “F-Body” models, 2002 marked the the end of continuous production and the beginning of an 8 year hiatus.

1989 Camaro RS 5.0 Third Generation: 1982 – 1992
Third-generation Camaro introduced a hatch-back body style, and a car the was significantly lighter than the second generation. The IROC Z was a popular option in 1985, which included T-tops, ground effects, and a powerful 5.0 liter engine. A 5.7 liter engine became available in 1987. This generation marks the introduction of fuel injection to the Camaro line.

1973 Camaro LT Second Generation: 1970 – 1981
Second-generation Camaro debuted late for the 1970 production year, and this model is often referred to unofficially as the “70 1/2″ Camaro.  Partly due to 1973 federal bumper safety standards, this generation underwent several front and rear bumper designs. The 1973 model was also the last Camaro to offer the 396 big block, likely due to stricter emissions standards.

1969 Z28 Camaro First Generation: 1967 – 1969
First-generation Camaro debuted in September 1966, for the 1967 model year.  It introduces the brand new rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform. This body style saw only minor cosmetic changes through the 1969 model year.  A variety of engines were available, the most popular being the 302, 327, 350, and big block 396.  The fifth generation Camaro is influenced by the body style of this first generation.

2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

2014Z28There is no brand more iconic to American racing than Chevrolet and thankfully for the every man they have used each ounce of their storied racing history in producing the 2014 Camaro Z/28. First produced in 1967 to compete as a race car the 2014 Z/28 is not designed to compete anywhere specific, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a race car at heart.

Taking its cues from the original Z/28 the 2014 has no air conditioning, is only available in a manual transmission and features a V-8 motor. Though both V-8’s the new Z/28 has an LS7 motor that was originally found in the Z06 Corvette. To better put into perspective how far the Z/28 motor has come since its inception the original got 290hp out of a 302 cid while the new 427 cid LS7 7.0L motor is capable of producing over 500hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. Though capable of greater numbers the motor is optimized for track performance.

RC Car Chase Goes Hollywood Style

rcfandf6An RC car chase goes wild in a dark warehouse as a mini Camaro attempts to escape the police.

There’s no question that radio-controlled cars are tons of fun. Whether you’re an adult or kid, RC cars can provide hours upon hours of entertainment, and with a little bit of imagination, you can also create some nifty Hollywood-style action scenes. Take this specially commissioned epic mini-movie as an example. It was created by La Muscle and the studio behind the new “Fast and Furious” film (the sixth installment in the series) to celebrate the duo’s partnership.

Probably the greatest hollywood-style RC action movie car chase ever.
