About this generation

The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car that was manufactured by American automobile manufacturer Chevrolet from 2010 to 2015 model years. It is the fifth distinct generation of the muscle/pony car to be produced since its original introduction in 1967. Production of the fifth generation model began on March 16, 2009, after several years on hiatus since the previous generation's production ended in 2002 and went on sale to the public in April 2009 for the 2010 model year.

What changed in the facelift

Changes to the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro include the introduction of the 3.6 L direct injection LFX V6 engine replacing the outgoing V6 engine, a new FE4 suspension package for SS coupe (retuned front and rear dampers, new solid front (23 mm) and rear (24 mm) stabilizer bars, 20-inch aluminum wheels with P245/45R20 front and P275/40R20 rear tires (from the SS)), a revised instrument panel appearance (new instrument graphics and trim), a new steering wheel design with improved ergonomics, a power lift feature for the front passenger seat, a new Rear Vision Package (a rearview camera system and an auto-dimming mirror to the existing Rear Park Assist feature), a new rear spoiler as standard, taillamps from RS appearance package option becomes standard for all vehicles.

Crystal Red Tintcoat replaces Red Jewel as an exterior color. Changes to the RS package include a new, body-color 'sharkfin' antenna. The 45th Anniversary Special Edition is based on 2LT and 2SS for both coupe and convertible body styles, with a unique rally stripe in red and silver on the hood and deck, Carbon Flash Metallic body color, badges located beneath the front fender emblems, new-design 20-inch wheels in dark silver, fog lamp and taillamp bezels finished in dark silver, RS-style taillamp lenses, standard rear spoiler and HID headlamps, body-color roof molding, Jet Black interior with leather-trimmed seats featuring the 45th Anniversary logo, white instrument panel and door trim inserts with the 45th Anniversary logo on the instrument panel, red, white and blue stitching on the seats, steering wheel, shift knob/boot, door armrests, and console lid; as well as 45th Anniversary logo on the steering wheel and sill plates.

The 45th Anniversary Special Edition was unveiled in Camaro5 Fest II in Arizona. Japanese models went on sale in January 2012. Early models included coupe (LT RS, SS RS), convertible, 45th Anniversary Special Edition. Unveiled at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show, the ZL1 is a high-performance variant of the Camaro SS. At least 30 percent of the parts on the ZL1 are exclusive to the model. The car features a LSA V8 engine with a supercharger which produced a maximum boost pressure of .

The engine has a power output of at 6,000 rpm and produces of torque at 4,200 rpm. Power is delivered to the rear wheels by either a six-speed manual (TR-6060) or a 6L90 automatic transmission. The manual transmission has a stronger output shaft, a more robust rear housing, and an additional mainshaft roller bearing to provide 30% more torque capacity than the automatic transmission used in the Camaro SS. To improve shift quality, there are triple synchronizer rings in some gears, and a revised linkage.

A new dual-mass flywheel is bolted to a high-capacity twin-disc clutch. The automatic transmission has a strengthened output shaft and is programmed with three operating modes (Drive/Sport/Manual). The ZL1 has a Magnetic ride suspension and a performance-oriented traction management system. The Magnetic Ride suspension system can sense the need for a damping correction 1,000 times per second and make that change in five milliseconds.

Brembo supplied the braking system, with six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston calipers at the rear. A duct system delivers air from the grille to the brake rotors. The 20-inch forged aluminum wheels are fitted with Goodyear 285/35ZR-20 front and 305/35ZR-20 rear tires. The Camaro 2LS was introduced in 2012. Designed for better fuel economy using a slightly different gear ratio than other V6 automatics, this model was ostensibly the automatic transmission version of the original LS.

The LS trim level was now divided into 1LS (manual transmission) and 2LS (automatic transmission) trims. In addition to the gearing differences, the 2LS automatic transmission did not have "Sport Mode," nor did it allow the driver to manually shift with the steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
