6 days ago | ls1tech.com | Joe Kucinski

The 6th generation Camaro SS was made from 2016 until 2024. Both offer plenty of power and make all the right V8 noises. The ZL1 packs the 6.2L supercharged LSA engine making 580 horsepower.

9 Rare and Overlooked Camaro Models You Might Not Know Existed

Beyond the SS and Z/28: These Forgotten Camaros Are Hidden Gems of GM History Chevrolet's Camaro is best known for its headline-grabbing SS and Z/28 variants, but over its decades-long run, GM and its partners released a number of obscure, low-production, and special-edition Camaros that have flown under the radar. Some were built for homologation, others for regional promotions or internal experiments — but all are rare and fascinating footnotes in Camaro history.
Abandoned House Found With Third-Generation Camaro Still Parked in Garage

1 week ago | ls1tech.com | Brett Foote

It’s been at least 15 years since someone left this home with all of their stuff inside – including a rather nice third-generation Camaro Z/28. With house flipping become a serious, highly-profitable business in recent years, we’ve all seen our fair share of TV shows documenting those types of fixer uppers as they’re totally transformed before our eyes before being sold for big bucks.
Camaro SS with Vortec 4200 I-6 Rips off 8-Second Pass

1 week ago | ls1tech.com | Brett Foote

After ditching its LS3 V8, this Vortec I-6 powered Camaro SS has gotten even quicker thanks to a few suspension tweaks and a new turbo. It’s no secret that making big power with something like, say, GM’s LS3 V8 is incredibly easy to do. That’s precisely one of the reasons why folks gravitate toward newer Camaros and Corvettes, which can be had for bargain prices in many cases to begin with.
Famous ‘Bonemaro’ Camaro Is Back and Looking for More Speed

1 week ago | ls1tech.com | Joe Kucinski

The 1979 Camaro, known as ‘Bonemaro,’ was built to run a 10-second quarter for $10K and now it looks to go even faster. Many years ago, this 1979 Camaro was built for just $800. The goal was to get the basket case of a car to run a 10-second quarter mile with a budget of just $10,000. The project car was given the nickname ‘Bonemaro’ and it was built for Hot Rod Garage (HRG) by Tony Angelo and Lucky Costa.

1 week ago | ls1tech.com | DERIN RICHARDSON

Mecum Indy 2025 is set to escort some of the hottest FR layout Corvettes from the golden years across the block next week!Full disclosure: Mecum Indy 2025 is a LS1Tech sponsor. It’s Indianapolis 500 time again ladies and gents, which usually coincides with the ever-exciting interplay between slick-mouth announcers and “Gold Level” bidders vying for big ticket items. However, Mecum Indy 2025 marks the 38th (yes, it’s been that long) anniversary of the Original Spring Classic.
Camaro ZL1 Takes on Oldsmobile 442 in New vs Old Drag Race

4 weeks ago | ls1tech.com | Brett Foote

In this showdown of new versus old, a Camaro ZL1 and modified Oldsmobile 442 put on a pretty good show in a relatively even matchup. The drag strip is a place that most of us are quite familiar with, and have quite likely spent a lot of time at, too. Aside from lining up our own rides and ripping down the track – perhaps to take home a trophy or just do some testing – the drag strip is also a great place to hang out and scope out some seriously cool rides, too.
Corvette E-Ray Obliterates McLaren 600LT in a Drag Race

4 weeks ago | ls1tech.com | Brett Foote

Though the two match up well on paper, the McLaren 600LT is no match for the Corvette E-Ray in a straight line. It’s no secret that every iteration of the C8 Corvette is rather quick, right down to the entry-level Stingray, which is a massive performance bargain by any measure. The ZR1 figures to reset our expectations in that regard, but in the meantime, the Corvette E-Ray is the second-quickest model in the lineup, just a tick ahead of the more track-focused Z06.

1 month ago | ls1tech.com | Joe Kucinski

With a body made of titanium and carbon fiber and the engine from a C6 ZR1 the Icona Vulcano Titanium is like no other car in the world. When you set out to build a car inspired by the world’s fastest airplane you are aiming for something special. The Icona Vulcano Titanium is certainly special. It is also a world first. When the car first debuted about a dozen years ago it was the first ever titanium car. Now in 2025 it is still the only titanium car ever built.
Twin-Turbo '73 Chevy Blazer Sports 1,000 HP & Breaks Necks

1 month ago | ls1tech.com | DERIN RICHARDSON

Originally destined to be a beach cruiser, the owner decided to turn this K5 Blazer into an L84-swappedAuto-X titan/family hauler instead. There aren’t many people that do road course and competitive auto-cross in big body trucks, and there’s a few legitmate reason for that. But for David Carroll, physics had no bearing on turning his campy 1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer into a force to be reckoned with among the scores of Corvettes and Camaros at LS Fest.
