The Camaro RS-SS-Z28 options from 1967 to 1969 bring the muscle to muscle cars! The ’67 Camaro, sharing its platform with the Nova, flaunts a semi-unibody design and three appearance packages, including the RS with hideaway headlights and the SS with a roaring V8. But wait, there’s more! The undercover Z28, the secret agent of the Camaro world, races in with a high-revving 302 engine. By ’69, buyers could pick from five engines or go big with a dealer-installed 427 cu in beast. Wheel size upgrade included!
For the 1969 model year, the Camaro was the belle of the SCCA Trans Am ball, equipped with Corvette-like stopping power thanks to four-piston calipers. Only 206 of these beauties sported the $500 JL8 option, making them rarer than a unicorn on a racetrack. The Z28 package was a powerhouse, boasting a 302-cubic-inch engine, and the COPO version went rogue with a 427-cubic-inch beast, courtesy of Don Yenko. And let’s not forget the ZL-1, an all-aluminum marvel, crafted with love and 16 hours of labor!
The Chevy Camaro from 2011 to 2013 is a muscle car that roars with power and style, yet whispers “maybe skip the grocery run.” With six-cylinder models offering solid performance and V8s ranging from fast to “hold onto your hats,” it’s all about the thrill. Safety features are top-notch, but visibility? Let’s just say it’s best suited for those who enjoy surprises. The ZL1’s 580 hp engine launches you from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, perfect for those days when you need to outrun your responsibilities.
Title: 69 days until the Daytona 500: A look back at the outrageous 1969 Dodge Charger
In the mid-to-late 1960s, Ford ruled NASCAR like a king on a horsepower throne, clinching manufacturers’ championships from 1963-69. Enter the 1968 Dodge Charger with high hopes and… questionable aerodynamic choices. Its recessed rear window and sunken grille were about as useful on the track as a chocolate teapot. But fear not, Dodge fans, because every underdog has its day—just like every Charger has its curves.
Chevrolet’s Camaro, initially code-named Panther, roared onto the scene in 1966, aiming to devour Mustangs like a “small vicious animal.” From the first-gen ’67-’69 classic to the sleek fourth-gen ’93-’02 models, the Camaro evolved with a flair for style and speed. Notably, the ’70 SS 350 was hailed as a top ten car globally. By the ’80s, fuel injection modernized the beast, while the ’90s saw anti-lock brakes as standard. As Camaro celebrated 35 years, its legacy remained a thrilling ride through automotive history.
