2010 ALL CHEVY SUPER NATIONALS

2010 ALL CHEVY SUPER NATIONALS—–It was my bad

It’s a pretty impressive name. It conjures up visions of an NHRA event replete with Top Fuel Dragsters, and Funny Cars. In reality it was a really nice Chevy show that took place in Pigeon Forge, Tn. It was a good show that I did an extremely bad job of covering. I have a number of excuses, some with validity, but the bottom line is I choked.

I need to give Tammie Whittaker a MEGA THANKS for being the only AmericanGirl I could find at the show. She graciously agreed to pose with three different cars. The 2010 SS Camaro is her car. To get the low down on The Situation go to Tammie’s post.

I’ll give you what I got.

Michael Payne’s 1981 Z28 Camaro

Michael is from Elizabethton, Tn. In his own words is a brief history of his Camaro. “I started building on the Camaro when I was sixteen and got is it done when I was eighteen. It is a fully restored. It is 1 of 500 built with rare interior and rear end gear ratios. It has been featured in many magazines and won multiple awards”. One of the best things about Michael’s Camaro is that this show quality car doubles as his daily driver. That’s cool. For specs on the Z28 go to the gallery page.

It Was a Great Car, but ?

It was a great car but I don’t know any more than pictures tell us. The owner was busy at the show and promised to email me the specs.

TAMMIE–It was Jersey Shore kind of thing

Tammie and her husband, Frank, drove their pristine 2010 SS Camaro from their home in Princeton, W.V.  As you can see in the gallery page they have named the car ‘’The Situation’’. Tammie and her husband kept talking about Snookie. They said you had to watch the show to understand.

Here a couple of paragraphs from Wikipedia which gives details and specs on the 2010 SS Camaro.

On July 21, 2008, GM officially unveiled the production 2010 Camaro.^[28] It was made available as a coupe in five different trim levels; the LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, and 2SS. The LS and LT trim levels are powered by the 3.6 L (3,564 cc/217 cu in) GM LLT V6 producing 304 hp (227 kW) at 6400 rpm and 273 lbf·ft (370 N·m) at 5200 rpm. The SS with manual transmission is powered by the 6.2 L (6,162 cc/376 cu in) GM LS3 V8 producing 426 hp (318 kW) at 5900 rpm and 420 lbf·ft (570 N·m) at 4600 rpm while the SS with automatic transmission is powered by a new variant of the LS3 called the GM L99 which produces 400 hp (300 kW) at 5900 rpm and 410 lbf·ft (560 N·m) at 4300 rpm. This new L99 V8, not to be confused with the earlier LT-series L99, uses Active Fuel Management which enables the engine to run on only four cylinders during light-load driving conditions, such as highway cruising, to improve fuel economy.

Other features include a fully independent four-wheel suspension system, variable-rate power steering, four-wheel disc brake systems standard on all models (four-piston Brembo calipers on SS models), a StabiliTrak electronic stability/traction control system, Competitive/Sport modes for the stability system offered on SS models, launch control on SS models equipped with the six-speed manual transmission, and 6 standard air bags that include head curtain side-impact air bags and front seat-mounted thorax side air bags. An RS appearance package is available on LT and SS trim levels which include HID headlamps with integrated halo rings, spoiler, and RS-specific taillamps and wheels. Rally and hockey stripe packages were made available in several colors as well.
