2010 Chevrolet Camaro Black/black/black Plus 50k/1 Year Gm Warranty on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States

1 owner. I've owned this Camaro for close to 4 years now and it's been great to me the entire time. I'm selling the car because I just finished school and I need the money to help with living expenses :/
More about the car... It's a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro LS that I got brand new in May 2010. It has the 312HP LLT V6 engine w/ 6-speed Manual transmission. Black exterior/black interior/black 18" Heritage wheels. The hood and trunk originally had red rally stripes on them but I've put black vinyl stripes on top. The Good: Everything on this car works. AC, power windows, locks, radio, MP3 input, OnStar, all electronics, etc. The Camaro has a 4-Star front crash rating. 5-Star side crash rating. And a 5-Star rollover resistance rating. Does 19 MPG City & 29 MPG Highway on 87 Regular (no unnecessary 93 Premium prices!). The engine recently got completely replaced under warranty and has less than 2k miles on it and it has been running perfectly since the install. Also has a brand new clutch & flywheel rated for 400+ HP since I was planning on doing a turbo build but didn't go through with it. There is still 50,000+ miles left in the GM 100k Extended Warranty (I've used less than half), so if anything on the car gives you any issues you're completely covered! The interior was just completely steam-cleaned, shampooed, & detailed. The next major service is in 7,000 miles when the odometer hits 50k. The current tires will definitely last a few thousand miles past that. Probably needs an oil change in 2-3000 miles after you get it. Runs on Mobil 1 Synthetic. The Bad: 1. The paint isn't perfect. But then again show me a black car that's been daily driven for 4 years that has perfect paint. It has a few light scratches and other imperfections but after talking to my detailer, he believes they can come out with a rotary buffer which I think you could DIY or take to a detail place. 2. Not immune to the 1st gear refusal. If you have not heard of this let me explain: On 95% of V6 Manual 5th generation Camaros and some Corvettes there is a known "issue" from the factory. What happens is that when you are stopped and in neutral, you go to put the shifter into first gear, however sometimes you will notice the shifter won't let you slide into first or only lets you halfway in. The cause of this issue hasn't been pinpointed in the 4 years that the Camaro has been out. The fix that GM released in a Technical Service Bulletin was to put it back into neutral, pump the clutch once and put it into first. This has worked for me every time I've had to do this. I've heard of some people getting a new transmission under warranty because of this "problem". It never bothered me enough in my 4 years to get it replaced, but if you feel the need, you're covered under GM warranty. 3. There is a small crack in the windshield (smaller than a dollar bill) shown in the picture, but I've gotten it sealed with resin by SafeLite so it just looks like a spider web crack now. The Indifferent: One thing that I changed with this car is the front bumper. I swapped out the V6 bumper for the V8 Super Sport bumper which has the mailslot on top and has the lower "chin spoiler" which I think gives the car a more aggressive look. This is strictly a cosmetic modification. I installed a Barton Pistol Grip Short Throw Shifter which lets you row through the gears faster and in my opinion makes the car more fun to drive. I used to have the 20" 5-spoke Super Sport wheels but I have since sold those. If you really fancy those wheels, I got my set for $300 on the Camaro5 Marketplace. They trend around $500 but if you monitor it you can get lucky & find a set for pretty cheap. I know they really change the look of the car and make it look $5,000 more expensive but in reality the wheels are only worth about $500. Browse here. I've loved this car every mile I've driven it and I know she's got plenty more miles of fun in her. She still turns heads of on-lookers & entices street racers every time I take her out for a drive even 4 years after being out! It's a great car and I'm pricing it to be sold asap just because I need to pay for a place to stay. I'm open to offers and negotiations. Thanks for looking and feel free to message me with any questions you have. |

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases
Wed, Nov 20 2019NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
