A group of five finalists traveled to Charlotte, North Carolina to try their keys in the Camaro.

DC Police SUV hits Bumblebee during Transformer 3 filming

WASHINGTON - A D.C. Police SUV was involved in a wreck at the filming of Transformers 3 in Washington D.C.

While the movie was filming a car chase scene on 3rd Street and Maryland Ave in southwest D.C., the police SUV collides with a yellow Chevy Camaro, which in the movie series is known as the character Bumblebee.

The police SUV was not supposed to be there and the wreck itself was not scripted.

The police officer driving the SUV is a veteran bomb technician. He was taken to a local hospital and sustained minor injuries.

Sources tell FOX 5 that he was running to a call to 9th and F Street and was apparently using a different radio channel than the police officers who were securing the perimeter for the movie.

2012 Camaro to get new tail lamps and side mirrors?

An alert photographer captured what is believed to be a Camaro featuring a new style of rear LED tail lamps and side view mirrors.  Personally I'd stick with the 2010-2011 tails and mirrors.

The tail lamps look like something out of a JC Whitney catalog and the mirrors look like an old truck with big chrome bolt on trailer mirrors on each side. If dumbo was a Camaro...

As much as we know a mild facelift is coming soon, lets hope these are only test parts on this particular Camaro.

MotorTrend has some other great shots of this car.

Hennessey goes topless in the LS9 Camaro

Only 24 lucky buyers will get their hands on a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro with the Hennessey HPE700 LS9 treatment. They will be a mix of hardtop and convertible models.

These are not ordinary tuned Camaros. Hennessey has a rich history of tuning factory performance cars and these will have a 755 horsepower version of the LS9 motor currently available in the Corvette ZR1.  According to Hennessey, the HPE700 Camaro will do 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds at 130 mph, impressive!

SLP revives the Camaro ZL1

The 1969 Camaro ZL-1 may very well be one of the most sought after Camaros ever built. Chevrolet built 69 1969 Camaros with the ZL-1 package, a street legal weapon powered by a 427 Big Block motor, factory exhaust and tires and a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty!  These cars could blow through the 1320 in 13 seconds.

Fast forward to 2011, SLP who is no stranger to Camaros, announced they will offer a ZL1 package on the 2011 Camaro SS!  Their ad below states they plan to create 69 (coincidence?) and they should have 750 horsepower packed under the hood.  We can't wait for these to hit the pavement!

See it live at the debut in Anaheim, California at the OC Auto Show this weekend, October 7-11, 2010.
