As if GM wasn't making enough waves in the performance car market, they release a list of go-fast parts for your 2010-2014 Camaro that will NOT void your factory warranty.
It's rumored on the interweb this week that the new 2014 Camaro Z/28 warranty DOES cover the vehicle during track use. We have yet to confirm this with the General, stay tuned!
Factory
engineered Chevrolet accessories can preserve vehicle warranty
DETROIT
– Chevrolet
Performance
has released a comprehensive collection of factory-engineered
performance parts and accessories for fifth-generation Camaros, 2010
model year and newer. Many of the parts preserve the vehicle warranty
when installed by a Chevrolet dealer – an advantage aftermarket
installers cannot provide.
The
portfolio of parts is designed to make "Gen 5" Camaro V-6
and SS models more capable on the street and track and includes
components from the high-performance Camaro ZL1 and the road
racing-oriented Camaro SS 1LE package.
For
customers interested in drag racing or high-horsepower projects,
Chevrolet Performance offers the new ZL1 rear driveline system. It is
the strongest independent rear axle option available for the Camaro,
featuring a 9.9-inch rear differential mounted in a robust cast iron
center section (vs. the aluminum center section in SS and V-6 models)
and additional high-strength components.
For
customers interested in road-racing or improved handling, Chevrolet
Performance offers suspension components from the Camaro 1LE, which
is homologated for competition in SCCA’s T2 class. The same
components in the Chevrolet Performance 1LE Track Pack enabled a
production Camaro SS 1LE to circle Virginia International Raceway in
less than three minutes.

“Chevrolet
Performance is the first stop for owners building a competitive,
durable Camaro for the track,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice
president of performance vehicles and motorsports. “These Chevrolet
Performance parts are based on Chevrolet factory-validated production
components that were tested on racetracks and validated to standards
unmatched in the aftermarket industry. Quite simply, they’re
tailored for improved performance and built to the highest
standards.”
The
parts are available directly from Chevrolet dealers, which can be
found on the dealer locator at chevroletperformance.com or
chevrolet.com.

ZL1 logo. The kit includes two rotors, two calipers, brake pads and
mounting hardware. It is a direct replacement for Camaro SS. It
works
with production chassis controls, including StabiliTrak, traction
control and antilock brakes, and does
not void the vehicle warranty.
ZL1
rear brake kit for Camaro SS (part number 23104466) –
It complements the ZL1 front brake kit with ZL1-logo
calipers. The kit includes two calipers, brake pads and installation
hardware. It works with production chassis controls, including
StabiliTrak, traction control and antilock brakes, and does

six-piston calipers, two rear single-piece rotors and four-piston
calipers, brake pads, master cylinder and installation hardware.
Twenty-inch wheels are required for caliper clearance. It works
with production chassis controls, including StabiliTrak, traction
control and antilock brakes, and does
not void the vehicle warranty.
ZL1
short-throw shifter (part number 19299460) –
Quicker, more precise-feeling gear changes are enabled by the ZL1’s
5.1-ratio shifter. It is a direct replacement for the six-speed
manual transmission shifter in the Camaro SS. Does not void vehicle
warranty. ZL1
low-restriction air filter element (part number 92229651) –

ZL1
fuel pump (part number 19260557) –
Fits all 2010-and-later SS and V-6 models. This twin-pump design is

kPa).
ZL1
rear driveline system
(part
number 22959394 for manuals and 22959395 for automatics) – This
is the ZL1’s complete rear axle system, which is
significantly
stronger than the Camaro SS rear axle system.
The kit includes a larger, stronger 9.9-inch ring gear with a
heavy-duty limited-slip differential in a cast iron housing;
stronger driveshaft and stronger asymmetrical half-shafts, which
include a
60mm hollow shaft on the right and a 33mm solid shaft on the left.
Their different torsional stiffness rates work in conjunction with
the limited-slip differential to minimize the chance of wheel hop at
launch. The kit is a direct bolt-in for the Camaro SS and V-6
models, although additional parts may be required for installation.
Manual transmission kits feature a 3.73 axle ratio and automatic
transmission kits have a 3.23 ratio.

for improved body roll,
retuned
front struts and new monotube rear shocks for improved body and

kit includes two front rotors and calipers,
two rear rotors and calipers, brake pads, master cylinder and
installation hardware. It works with production chassis controls,
including StabiliTrak, traction control and antilock brakes, and
does
not void the vehicle warranty.
LS3
heads / LS7 camshaft package (part number 19300535)
Developed
by the same powertrain engineers who work on Chevrolet’s
motorsports programs, this power-building kit was developed as a
direct replacement for the factory-installed heads and camshaft on
2010-and-later Camaro SS models, adding up to 40 horsepower. The kit
includes CNC-ported LS3 cylinder heads, which flow more than 350 cfm
(intake side) with 276cc intake runners and 2.165/1.590-inch valves.
The high-lift LS7 camshaft makes the most of the heads’ airflow
capabilities, with 0.558/0.558-inch lift and 211 degrees/230 degrees
duration at 0.050-inch and a 121-degree lobe separation angle.
