Summary

When Chevrolet set out to out-muscle the Mustang, it came up with the Camaro. That was 1967, and the Camaro turned out to be more than a pony car par excellence. It was a muscle car for the ages, the quintessential American car. On the eve of this classicrs"s newest incarnation, the first Camaro of the twenty-first century, this book offers an exhilarating, photo-filled look at Camaro through the decades. Packed with information, the lavishly illustrated volume devotes a chapter to each generation of the Camaro, providing performance stats, trivia, and much more, and page after page of full color studio and action shots of each model--the stars of the muscle car era, the RS, SS Z/28, IROC-Z; the models that jumpstarted a new era of American performance in the 1980s; and the next wildly anticipated generation. A perfect reference and resource for fans of the Camaro and American muscle, the book is also a fittingly handsome celebration of an icon of American performance.
