Here are some more information for Performance Chevrolet Camaro:
One of today's major American car makes, Chevrolet, was founded nearly 100 years ago. Louis Chevrolet was a Swiss racecar driver who had created his own automobile designs. William Durant, the founder of General Motors, had been forced from GM management in 1910. Durant began producing Chevrolet's designs in 1911 as a way to rebuild his own reputation. By the end of the decade, Chevrolet's success had allowed Durant to buy a majority of GM shares, Chevrolet had become a part of the GM name, and Durant was president of General Motors. Though Chevy began as an independent company, the company became part of General Motors in 1916.
Because of Chevrolet's beginnings, every vehicle, car, or truck, especially in the early years, was based on the original Ford designs, including the Model T. From there, though, two vastly different car companies emerged. In these early years, Chevy was known for technologically innovative designs and unique styling. Entering the automobile market to compete with the Ford Model T, Chevrolet and Durant created important models that would become quite important to automobile history. The 1914 "Classic Six" boasted a 4.9 L, 6-cylinder engine, with a top speed of 15 miles per hour. The Model D V8 roadster was introduced in 1918, the first in a long line of Chevy V8 engines.
Chevrolet first used its now-famous "bowtie" logo in 1913; it was said to been inspired by wallpaper Durant saw in a French hotel. The Chevrolet company played an important role in the beginnings of the auto industry in America. Chevy is widely known for some of the most memorable vehicles ever produced, like the Corvette, one of the most recognizable vehicles sold in America.
Chevrolet is especially well known for its influence on American automobiles during the 1950s and 1960s. The story of the Bel Air, Chevrolet's premium car model, began in 1953. The Bel Air was notable for its use of chrome molding, both inside and out, which would soon be seen on nearly every popular 1950s and 1960s automobile. Many Chevy models of the mid-50s remain wildly popular among car collectors today. Take, for example, the '55 Chevy, available in convertible, hardtop coupe, and 2- or 4- door sedan versions. At the time, it was said to be far superior in style to any available Ford or Plymouth automobile, particularly due to its chrome accents and classic, refined look. The small-block V8, introduced in 1955, remains in continuous production to this day. Other Chevy innovations of this era included the first fuel-injected engine in 1957.
Chevrolet was the first American automaker to build more than 3 million vehicles in one year, doing so in 1964. In 1966, Chevrolet unveiled its all-new Camaro, which would become a hit during the 1967 model year. By the end of its very first model year, the Camaro had joined the "pony car phenomenon," and the first Camaro SS version became the pace car at the Indy 500.
Today, both the '55 Bel Air and the Camaro remain two of the most highly sought after classic cars, not to mention the most recognizable. The Chevy name has earned the loyalty of its owners, and thirty and even forty-year-old Chevy models are very popular both on the roads and in classic car shows, a tribute to their durability and classic appeal.

Chevrolet Classics & Other Muscle Car Classics
While budget plays a major part in decision making for those who want to buy classic cars, it’s often the personality of the vehicle and the buyer that need to be looked at for that perfect union to take place. So how does that tie in with Chevrolet classics?
Let’s look back at the mid 1960s. That’s when Chevrolet began production of the Corvette. It was later described as a supercar for the poor man, and far later than that sung about by none other than The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, little red versions at any rate! The Corvette offered raw power at an affordable price. Being in production for such a long time Chevy’s Corvette underwent multiple style adaptations, and even the car’s power was set won to a mere 200 horsepower in deference to the ecological interests. Corvettes manufactured today do boast superb horsepower. Are we seeing tomorrow’s classic emerging before our eyes?
Chevy’s Impalas did for tail fins what Madonna did for Jean Paul Gaultier’s conical bustier. But that image was short lived and by the early sixties the fins were discarded and the styling became more sedate.
Sedate, however, is not a term that would be applied to the Chevrolet Camaro. This was a real muscle car and its manufacture was a direct repost to the Ford Mustang and its phenomenal popularity. With a 425 horsepower V8 engine, this beast really could growl and roar.
Still on the subject of muscle cars, Chevrolet created the Nova in 1962. Sometimes also referred to as the Chevy II, the Nova was a more compact and economically priced brother to the Camaro. Later versions boasted a V8 engine which augmented the car’s performance.
And so a pattern was emerging, and this is illustrated by the introduction of the Chevrolet Chevelle which had a 396 hp engine as standard. But perhaps the biggest triumph was the Chevrolet Monte Carlo. This sleek two-door coupe is recognised as one of General Motor's resounding successes in the eyes of the NASCAR stock car racing fraternity. The Monte Carlo was based on Chevy's A platform. Its unique design was wrought by Elliot Estes and Dave Hollis.
Anyone who wants to buy classic cars would do well to look at what Chevrolet has offered over the years, there is something for all tastes.

Lime Rock: Stevenson Motorsports race report
The No. 57 Stevenson Motorsports / VinSolutions / BryanMark Financial Chevrolet Camaro GT.R, driven by Andrew Davis and Robin Liddell, had muscled its way up to fourth place at Lime Rock Park when a hard charging Daytona Prototype - itself in a race for the lead in its class - ran into the car at speed forcing it off the racing surface and into the barriers.
