The 4th Gen Chevy Camaro: America's First Modern Muscle Car
By Johnny Hunkins May 26, 2021
The introduction of the 4th gen Chevy Camaro (and Pontiac Firebird) was a watershed moment in the world of factory performance. When the fourth generation of GM's F-body debuted in 1993, it marked a new era of high-tech performance that ushered in new levels of power, handling, value, efficiency, and safety. While incremental improvements in various vehicle benchmarks had taken place over the previous decade, the 4th gen Camaro was the first to implement them collectively in a large-volume performance coupe, making it what we accept today as the first modern muscle car.

How the first-generation Chevy Camaro design came to be
By Michael Lamm
March 31, 2020
FIRSTHAND TALES ABOUT THE CAMARO’S ORIGINSThe following feature appeared in the February 1979 issue of Special Interest Autos and was excerpted from (former SIA editor and founder) Mike Lamm’s book, The Great Camaro. We’re reprinting it here because it contains in-depth information about the first-generation Camaro’s development, derived from interviews that Lamm conducted with the people who worked at Chevrolet on this historic project.
Word had come down in early August, 1964, that there would be a Chevrolet sporty car for 1967 to challenge the Mustang directly. General Motors now realized that the 1965 Corvair couldn’t match the Mustang’s engine and option versatility.
The news pleased Chevy general manager Bunkie Knudsen mightily, and GM’s Design Staff, as mentioned, had been hoping for just such an opportunity and wasn’t caught at all unprepared.
The man with overall charge of the F-Car’s styling was GM Design Vice President William L. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell also oversaw the second-generation Camaro’s styling—the 1970½’s—and he makes no bones about which version he likes best. “The 1970½ Camaro,” he says, “is a designer’s design; but that first series was designed by committee.”

These Classic American Cars Will Obliterate Modern Sports Cars
By Mark Lakewood | Posted on 09 May 2021
Americans' hunger for V8 power in the '60s and '70s gave birth to dozens of machines that are still able to embarrass many modern sports cars.
The world has demonstrated immense love for classic cars. We constantly find ourselves looking for hits and misses in cars of the olden days. By good luck, most cars of the early 20th century, down to the early years of the 21st century, have proven to be incredible gems. Gearheads go to extensive lengths to restore vehicles that would otherwise spend their time in the junkyard.

2018 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE Nurburgring Record Car: Live Photo Galelry
By David Finlay April 24, 2021
We recently captured photos of a Chevy Camaro that resides at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. This particular Camaro ZL1 1LE is an important part of the muscle car’s history, even though it was built as recently as 2017. In June of that year, this very 2018 Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE Coupe was driven around the world-famous Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany by Camaro ride and handling engineer Bill Wise, who completed a lap in an astonishing 7 minutes 16.04 seconds. This was a new record for a Camaro, and nearly 14 seconds faster than the 7 minutes 29.60 seconds achieved the previous year in a Camaro ZL1 (without the 1LE track handling package).
