2010 Camaro SS - I'm growing back my mullet

You know that this is a motorcycle blog - however, being raised in De-troy-it I occasionally revert to my youth and post blogs about cars that I desire.


They say that folks buy cars for what they do for their "well being" and not just for transportation, they make a rolling statement about who you are or wish to be .............. well I had a Camaro & a Firebird in my Youth, and maybe the love for these cars is bringing some of that youth back!

Here is the SS It is Retro with a whole lot of modern attitude.

422 Horses??? Give me back, give me back, give me back - my mullet
(sung to the LS Give me back my Bullit)
From a link on WINDING ROAD a cool cyber car mag .......... image of the modern muscle car is notable for the fact that it is the first overall shot that GM has officially released. It showed up on the automaker's media site yesterday evening all by its lonesome with no accompanying details, but what else is there to know besides the fact it's packing a 6.2L LS3 V8 producing 422 hp and 408 lb-ft of torque? And for those who were wondering before, the nostril vent does appear to be part of the production package. Perhaps this picture's sudden appearance portends more information to come. We'll keep our ears and eyes open just in case.

The El Camino Story (from the past)

El Camino's have been with us from 1959 when GM intorduced the 1st Truck/Car or Car/Truck. They stopped selling the EL in 1988 (1987 model year ended with 425 vehicles that were sold in 1988 as current model year). The El Camino went through 5 generations as depicted below. Why? you asked am I talking about the El??? Well ........... you know I am a car and truck and motorcycle guy ........ and they might be coming back out with the El. And - Oh yeah. I want one! However, I needed to share knowlege of the El with my younger readers so in my next post I can show you the latest and greatest potential El's.
