2010 Chevrolet Camaro rated at 29 mpg highway
At present that the 2010 Chevy Camaro is at long last prepared to strike dealerships, details like the car's authorized EPA estimated tinder mileage and its estimated sprint to 60 mph are start to strike the interwebs. Fine tidings: Both are evocative. According to The Common, the 304-horsepower direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 motor that's criterion in the LT and LS models desire accomplish 29 miles per gallon on the highway and 18 mpg in the metropolis with the six-speed self-acting, or 17 mpg with the six-speed attach. V8 models also execute more efficiently than expected, with figures of 16 metropolis and 25 highway (24 with the self-acting transfer.
Those numbers are superior than what the Camaro's muscle motor vehicle rivalry can call across the plank. Its eco-victory probable won't hindmost extensive, notwithstanding, as the novel 2010 Ford Mustang offers carryover engines from the mould representation year that we anticipate desire be replaced for the 2011 representation year with more well-organized powertrains, perhaps smooth of a twin-turbo, direct-inject EcoBoost V6.

2010 CHEVY CAMARO'S EXECUTION BLENDS HORSEPOWER WITH EFFICIENCY
DETROIT – When it comes to execution, the 2010 Camaro delivers in unexpected ways. An advanced 3.6L direct-injected V-6 with changeable valve timing is criterion on LS and LT models. It offers power and effectiveness, with 304 horsepower (227 kW) and EPA-rated 29 mpg in highway driving.
The performance-oriented Camaro SS offers a couple of 6.2L V-8s, including single with Strenuous Tinder Managing that helps better tinder thrift near shutting down four cylinders during determined light-load driving conditions. That representation delivers 25 mpg in EPA-rated highway tinder economy.
Certainly, the surprising tinder thrift of the novel Camaro enhances the driving knowledge. LS and LT models are EPA-rated at 18 mpg in the metropolis and 29 on the highway with an self-acting transfer; and 17 metropolis and 29 highway with the handbook transfer. Camaro SS with an self-acting is rated at 16 metropolis and 25 highway; and 16 city/24 highway with the handbook transfer. Particularly, no one of Camaro's models is subject-matter to federal gas guzzler taxes.
For contrasting, the more costly 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 offers comparable horsepower to the Camaro SS with the handbook transfer – 425 (317 kW) vs. 426 (318 kW) – and is EPA-rated at 14 metropolis and 22 highway. When automatic-equipped models are compared, the Camaro wins again, with the Challenger SRT8 rated at 13 metropolis and 19 highway.
All of Camaro's engines watercourse their power to a alert chassis that features free face and back part suspensions, big, four-wheel-disc curb systems with criterion ABS and GM 's StabiliTrak electronic steadiness command system.
3.6L manage injection V-6
Camaro's 3.6L manage injection (DI) V-6 delivers more power because of increased effectiveness, while maintaining tinder thrift and lowering emissions – including a 25-percent globule in cold-start hydrocarbon emissions. Manage injection optimizes tinder distribution to the combustion assembly near introducing tinder closer to the combustion assembly. The tinder injectors are located low the intake ports and tinder is injected straight into the cylinder. The outcome is superior effectiveness in the combustion pr
ocedure important to increased tinder effectiveness at piece and filled throttle.
The 3.6L DI motor produces 304 horsepower (227 kW) at 5,900 rpm and 273 lb.-ft. of torque (370 Nm) at 5,200 rpm. Its 60-degree cylinder piece and cylinder heads are throw aluminum to aid cut back pile. A forged sword crankshaft provides optimal power in the seat finish. The cylinder heads incorporate four valves per cylinder, with a dual up above camshaft plan incorporating infinitely changeable cam phasing.
A filled dual use up organized whole, with dual catalytic converters, helps cut back invest in force for best power. It also helps the motor reach operating temperature quicker to aid blaze away cold-start emissions. And in spite of a compression proportion of 11.3:1, the 3.6L DI motor is designed to sprint on routin gas.
Camaro SS's 6.2L powertrains
Two 6.2L V-8 engines are offered in the Camaro SS, including the novel L99 on automatic-equipped vehicles and the LS3 on manual-equipped models. Both engines are derived from the LS3 that debuted on the 2008 Corvette.
The 90-degree V-8 includes an aluminum piece (with throw iron cylinder liners) and aluminum cylinder heads. The seat finish of the motor includes a novel structural throw aluminum lubricant saucepan, with an lubricant volume of 8.9 quarts (8.5 liters), while the two-valve cylinder skull plan is based on race-proven airflow dynamics. The intake valves amount 2.16 inches (55 mm) and use up valves are 1.60 inches (40.5 mm) in diameter.
The 6.2L engines also employ a drum lifter-style camshaft with 5-percent greater intake-side valve raise than the Corvette's LS3. It manages airflow that is channeled because of an acoustically tuned intake diverse with a composite plan that reduces runner-to-runner change. The throttle hole diameter is 90 mm.
Horsepower for the L99 is 400 (298 kW) at 5,900 rpm and torque is 410 lb.-ft. (556 Nm) at 4,300 rpm. The LS3 develops 426 horsepower (318 kW) at 5,900 rpm and 420 lb.-ft. (569 Nm) at 4,600 rpm (all numbers are SAE certified). Production on the L99 is drop than the LS3 because of a slighter drop compression proportion (10.4:1 vs. 10.7:1) and plan features of the Strenuous Tinder Managing Organized whole. The L99 is paired exclusively with an self-acting transmission.
As with the 3.6L models, the SS models hire a filled dual use up organized whole, with two catalytic converters to cut back invest in pressure.
Transmissions
All Camaro models can be equipped with either a six-speed handbook or six-speed self-acting transfer. The availability of a six-speed self-acting transfer is a foremost for Camaro.
Criterion with the 3.6L motor is the Aisin AY6 six-speed handbook. It features drop move exertion and shorter throws for easier shifting and fun-to-drive characteristics. A hydraulic seize and self-adjusting device eliminates the require for adjustments during the lifespan of the transmission.
The Hydra-Matic 6L50 six-speed self-acting is voluntary with 3.6L-equipped models. It has an combative 4.07:1 foremost cog proportion that delivers powerfull launches, but also provides high overdrive ratios that diminish motor rpm and supply superior tinder effectiveness. The 6L50 also includes driver move command, with the driver attractive command via oar shifts located on the steering disc after selecting the M way on the console-mounted shifter.
Execution Algorithm Shifting (PAS) is included with the 6L50. It lets the electronic transfer controller override the self-acting cog choice during tall lateral acceleration maneuvers.
On SS models, the novel Tremec TR 6060 six-speed handbook is paired with the LS3. It is designed to grip the tall torque characteristics of the motor, while providing shorter throws, smoother cog synchronization and greater total move touch with small or no vibration. Its specs incorporate a hard 290 mm flywheel and single-plate seize. The ending push proportion for LS3 vehicles is 3.45:1.
The highest-capacity self-acting at all in a GM rider motor vehicle, the Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed self-acting, is matched with the L99 motor. Like the 6L50 transfer, it features driver move command and PAS. The ending push proportion on all automatic-equipped Camaro models is 3.27:1.
