2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS/RS

Description

There aren't too many cars that could be described as both vintage and futuristic, but both adjectives definitely fit this 2011 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS/RS. With an appearance that will immediately evoke memories of its predecessors from the vintage muscle car era, this Chevy also benefits from some well-placed styling cues that are very much of the present. It's sporting a great color and has been very lightly driven, logging only about as many miles as most cars see in a year and a half. And its dual 2SS/RS status brings a number of welcome upgrades both inside and out.

A proud member of the fifth generation of Camaros that were first unveiled at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, this 2011 has a ready connection to the model's first generation - its low-slung, pleasingly squared off appearance and distinctive front grille are both updated styling cues from that bygone era. That's no accident. This generation was intentionally created to appeal to those with fond memories of the Camaro - and Chevy's efforts were certainly successful. On the other hand, the aggressive angle of the windshield and the way the front wheels are situated not far behind the nose are decidedly modern touches. The Victory Red paint is looking strong here - it's got a nice deep shine - and the broad pair of contrasting black stripes that run across the hood and deck lid are still looking fresh. This is a car that's obviously seen both attention and plenty of sheltered garage time. Up front, the High Intensity Discharge (HID) will do a great job of lighting the road ahead.

The interior is in good shape and, as you open the door, you'll notice a pair of front buckets with aggressive yet still smooth bolsters to keep you in place during spirited cornering. Their black leather surfaces come via this 2011's 2SS status and the seating really looks nice in this setting. Despite its nod to the past, this Camaro's audio options are thoroughly modern - the featured AM/FM/DVD Boston Acoustics system also offers Sirius connectivity, so you'll have no shortage of entertainment choices at your disposal. At the center of the console, the Hurst shift handle brings just a little added flair to the well-maintained, unaltered interior. This is a very appealing driving environment.

The 6.2-liter L99 V8 that lurks below the hood is a very potent engine, churning out 426 horsepower, along with 420 pound-feet of torque. That abundant power is made all the more efficient by Chevy's featured launch control, which keeps rear wheel spin in check during hard, off-the-line acceleration. There's also a nod to practicality here, with active fuel management that affords this Camaro with markedly better gas mileage than you'd rightfully expect from such a sizable engine. That engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic 6L80E transmission that offers both smooth, precise shifts and a reputation for sturdiness, while 4-piston Brembo brakes sit at all four corners to provide abundant stopping power. Arguably one of the best upgrades that Camaro's fifth generation brought was its fully independent, four-wheel suspension, so you'll have no concerns about wheel hop when this 2011 negotiates uneven surfaces while cornering on its set of 20" special edition SS/RS wheels that are wrapped with Falken Azenis A/S tires that appear to have lots of tread left on them.
