2010 Camaro SS

The Camaro SS is no big surprise after the first images with almost press quality surfaced over a week ago. However, Ray at Jalopnik.com diligently spotted this single image on GM's media site.

There is no official announcement accompanying the photo, but perhaps not necessary since the most pertinent SS details, such as its 422 hp (315 kW) and 408 lb.-ft. of torque (553 Nm) via LS3 6.2-liter V8, were already released during the official Camaro reveal.

However, there is one new design detail confirmed. As far as we can see from the photos, the SS receives a peekaboo mail slot in the hood in addition to SS badges. A bit anti-climatic, but judging by the number of comments we received on the last topic about whether the car is rubbish or not, surely this latest image will fire the furnace once again.

I've never really been a fan of the Camaro (except for the 69'), or muscle cars in general, but I really love this car. It stays true to the original and look effing sexy. I want one bad.

...think I've just jumped on the domestic bandwagon...well not quite...

I don't think this is going to be as big a letdown as skeptics might have thought earlier this year. It is a genuine muscle car-era throwback (and really handsome to boot). I do not like American cars. Full stop. In fact, I am not a big fan of America in general. But this car harks back to a time in America's history that is golden, and demonstrates American manufacturers may at long last recognize international automobile standards. I anticipate this SS model will cement America's upward trend in the automobile enthusiast community.

I can't see why nationality should play such a big role in this topic, (in fact, I don't understand why Europeans, when criticizing an American product, have the aberrant necessity to put soooo much emphasis on the fact that it's American) but I do agree, this car should be kind of like a "wake up, Detroit!"
