Camaro5 Fest 6

Some years ago several of us crashed the first Camro5 Fest and that's really what gave us the idea to start ChallengerFest. This year it was in Bowling Green and I almost went to check it out, but honestly they always have it at the hottest time of the year and I hate the heat.

Here's some pics from the event. What surprised me is the amount of cosmetic mods with very little in the way of performance. The exact opposite is true for our group that comes to CF. Just found that interesting.

Piggy appearance yeah but their engineers are pulling pork where it counts.

DETROIT – For the all-new, 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, the team was challenged to improve the handling, acceleration and fuel economy of the award-winning current model.

To meet all three objectives, the team focused on a singular mission: reduce mass. By obsessively searching for opportunities to save ounces, the team pared more than 200 pounds off the Camaro compared with the fifth-generation model.

A new architecture, one of the most mass-efficient ever from General Motors, is responsible for much of the weight savings.

Additionally, dozens of small changes cumulatively contributed to shedding pounds. For example, the beam that supports the instrument panel is now made of aluminum, saving 9.7 pounds (4.4 kg) over the steel beam on the current generation Camaro.

In addition, the front and rear suspension assemblies are now aluminum, and links on some models feature an intricate, structurally optimized design made with a rigid composite material that’s even lighter than aluminum. As a result, the total weight for the suspension is 21 percent lighter compared to current steel-intensive assemblies.
