Autoleaks: 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Revealed Ahead Of Weekend Debut
Thanks to CNBC, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro was revealed to the world ahead of its global debut Saturday at Belle Isle in Detroit.
The unofficial unveiling occurred during a segment about the upcoming Camaro on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” Friday morning, AutoGuide reports. The screencaps, captured by forum users over at GM Inside News, show the front and rear profiles of two 2016 models.
Of the few other details revealed thus far, the new Camaro will receive a 6.2-liter V8 and a possible turbo-four as two options, the latter meant for battle against the Ford Mustang EcoBoost. Magnetic ride control will be available for the SS, while handling has been improved thanks to a stiffer, lighter construction. A flush belly pan is said to reduce lift by 30 percent, and optional dual exhaust will come with a number of settings, ranging from roaring track destroyer, to quiet cruiser in the city.
More will be revealed Saturday, where Chevrolet is holding a special event at Belle Isle celebrating the Camaro’s history alongside the debut of the 2016 model.

Read the Q&A over at Jalopnik, GM in a pretty smart move let's you build the car the way you want be it 4, 6 or 8 and isn't trying to eqm rod people into the turbo four by locking out features like Ford. GM is claiming that the SS is on par or better than the current 1LE equipped car around a road course.
That front end is just bad. It looks just like a Scion.
