Just looking at the new Silverado, several of the features that immediately jump out are the big rig style wheels, mirrors, and front grill.

The Chevy Silverado has always been known as the most dependable long lasting full-sized pickup on the market. The 2011 Silverado HD has a suggested MSRP of $27,965 and is due out at dealerships in the summer to fall of 2010.
Not only does it have the looks, it has the power and efficiency to back it up. The Silverado comes with a 6.6 L turbo diesel V-8 which has 397 hp and 765 foot pounds of torque, and yes it’s the most powerful heavy-duty pickup ever made. In addition the 2011 model picks up fuel economy with an 11% increase in efficiency over the 2010 Silverado.
If you like stats, you be pleased to hear that the 21,700 pounds of towing capacity beats the Ford F350 and Dodge ram. The features available include integrated trailer brake controller, trailer sway control, stability track, tow haul mode, automatic grade breaking, tap up Tap down shift control, Hill start assist, exhaust brake, B20 biodiesel, automatic locking rear differential, Allison transmission, powertrain limited warranty, roadside assistance program, courtesy transportation program, OnStar.

2010 Chevy Camaro – 1SS vs 2SS
Monday, July 12th, 2010If you are considering buying a 2010 Chevy Camaro, then you’ll need to know what the differences are between the two V8 models called 1SS and 2SS.
The 1SS has the 4 piston Brembo brakes, 426 hp 6.2L V-8 engine, 20″ wheels and has a suggested MSRP starting at $30,945.
The 2SS adds leather-appointed seats with heated front seats, Bluetooth technology, 4 pack gauge cluster, and a USB port for your favorite electronic devices, chargers, etc.
The 2SS has a suggested MSRP starting at $33,945. If you’re into speed and riding in comfort, then the 2SS is the better choice.
The Camaro has been brought back and welcomed by it’s loyal enthusiasts who are very pleased with the work that GM has done to reincarnate this legendary vehicle.
Camaro has had a long history, and bringing it back with 426 hp from the factory is no small accomplishment. The vehicle is quite powerful, and intimidating at the same time as it rumbles down the street alerting anyone in its path.
Its also been tough to beat, with other manufacturers coming out with their own answers like the Ford Mustang, Dodge Challenger, and neither can out perform the Camaro.
The 2011 5.0L Mustang comes it at 412 hp, still below the Camaro’s 426 hp and the Dodge Challenger with the V8 HEMI at 425 hp is the closest.
The Camaro SS and Mustang GT are very closely priced despite the clear hp advantage over the Mustang and significantly less than the Dodge Challenger that is expected to be at around $44,000 MSRP.

2010 Chevy Camaro SLP – 575HP
Monday, May 10th, 2010Based on the 2010 Camaro SS, only 250 sequentially numbered ZL550 automatic transmission and 250 ZL575 manual transmission cars will be built. Available in any factory color, the Supercharged Camaro’s performance and curb appeal are enhanced by a positive displacement supercharger (similar to the one GM includes with the new ZR-1 Corvette) and highlighted by SLP’s aggressively styled composite hood with functional scoop (design patent pending).
To compliment the Supercharged Camaro’s aggressive front-end appearance, the new body-color rear deck lid spoiler’s distinctive styling changes continue that theme. Helping to transfer the Supercharged Camaro’s power to the pavement are the factory supplied 20″ Pirelli P Zero P240/40ZR20 tires with SLP’s light weight ZL Red Line 20″ x 9″ alloy wheels on the rear and factory 20″ Pirelli P Zero P245/45ZR20 tires and SLP’s 20″ x 8″ alloy wheels on the front.
Throughout the Supercharged Camaro’s development process, our objective was to engineer the very highest quality performance, handling and braking improvements that would provide the performance enthusiast with a well balanced package.
Not only will our Supercharged Camaros outperform the competition, they’re built to ensure long-term satisfaction and are covered by SLP’s 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
