LS-Swapped 2011 Chevrolet Camaro RS

Description

After the 2002 Camaro’s curtain call and a brief hiatus, enthusiasts were thrilled when the fifth-generation Camaro concept broke cover in early 2006. Chevrolet read the tea leaves regarding public interest in retro styling, so the Camaro concept leaned into its past, and after an overwhelmingly positive public response, the Camaro was reborn.

The 2010 Camaro’s muscular sheetmetal was both a throwback to 1960s models, and a futuristic look forward. The body boasted a V-shaped nose, sweeping roofline, bulging fenders, and a prominent rear end with squared-off taillights. And under that sleek body lay cutting-edge components: the foundation was GM’s advanced Zeta platform, which boasted a fully independent rear suspension and calibrated shocks for a smooth yet sporty ride. And selecting the RS package upgraded LT-trim Camaros to HID halo headlamps and unique taillamps, a rear spoiler, and stunning, 20-inch Midnight Silver rims.

And while this 2011 Camaro RS originally came with the V6, it’s been seriously hot rodded with a highly modified 6.0-liter LS engine and Turbo 400 automatic transmission.
