The Yenko Camaro returns again! http://www.camaronewsblog.com/2009/10/30/yenko-returns/ http://www.camaronewsblog.com/2009/10/30/yenko-returns/#comments Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:33:10 +0000 admin http://www.camaronewsblog.com/?p=65 I was fairly certain that the unquestionably legendary Yenko Camaro nameplate would never return. Then, Chevrolet said they would begin production on the Camaro again, and my hopes for such a day came back (albeit, I was extremely cautious in my optimism). Even with the Yenko nameplate existing under another company's moniker, I thought maybe, just maybe, we'd see a new one. Then I saw how incredible the new Camaro was, and my optimism grew some more. Now, today, I've found news that says my dreams will come true! That is right, the Yenko Camaro will be produced once again!

Now owned by some company known in the acronym world as GMCI (General Marketing Capital Inc.), the Yenko name is being returned where it belongs, upon a Camaro. Using the 2010 SS as their base, the engineers are premiering a 600 HP super-charged V8 Camaro at SEMA this year with a Tremec 6-Speed gear box. On that stout and powerful Camaro frame, this sounds like a truly winning combination! Once we get more pictures and info from SEMA, I will be sure to share them with you. Of course, I'm fairly certain that the massive tuner auto show will provide many more Camaro surprises for us die-hard Camaro fans out here. Anything more I learn will be passed on to you!
