Cool Muscle Car Artwork by Danny Whitfield
Posted by chevyss in Information on August 7th, 2010
69 Chevy Camaro SS
Danny’s lifelong love affair with cars goes all the way back to a sunny afternoon in 1964 when he first laid eyes on his dad’s brand new Ford Galaxy 500. His fascination with all things automotive stuck with him throughout his childhood days when classmates would pay him to whip up sketches all the way to his graduation from the prestigious College of Creative Studies in Detroit Michigan where he earned his degree in Industrial Design.
Having since worked as a designer for General Motors, Ford Motor Company and the Chrysler Corporation, automotive design remains one of the great loves of Danny’s life. He pours himself into his paintings out of an overwhelming appreciation for the industry and his desire to capture an image in its most genuine form.
Having completed pieces for a variety of famous personalities including Bill Cosby and Jay Leno, Danny’s artistic ability is now well recognized and appreciated for the obvious passion he brings to each piece. Danny continues to showcase his work at car shows and automotive events throughout the Detroit area. Click here to see some of his amazing work
Drag Racing LA Invasion – 9 Second Camaro
Test-drive a Chevy Camaro
Camaro SS
After decades of being the No. 1 brand in Northeast Ohio, Chevrolet fell behind Ford last year. Chevy dealers don’t want that to be a trend.
So when organizers of the Cleveland Auto Show tried to see if several different brands wanted to get together to create an indoor test track at the I-X Center, Chevy dealers said no. They wanted the whole track for themselves.
“I think it’s going to be packed from open to close,” said Rob Patterson, Chevrolet zone manager for much of Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
There will be two free indoor test tracks at the show this year – the Chevy track and Camp Jeep, a smaller course at that brand’s exhibit. The Jeep exhibit was a popular feature at several auto shows in 2007 and 2008, but it was not in Cleveland last year.
Patterson said at the GM track the visitor can drive either at Chevy Malibu, a Camaro or an Equinox crossover. At the Jeep exhibit, the show visitor is a passenger in a vehicle driven by a product specialist.
Auto show chairman Gary Adams said he was surprised when the Chevrolet dealers group snapped up all of the space for the test track. Because of the large amount of space needed, he had assumed that no brand would want to take on all of the expense alone.
“It’s costly because it’s indoor space,” Adams said. Read the rest of this entry »
Chevrolet Camaro SS Indy 500 Pace Car
Chevy Camaro SS indy Pace Car
This year, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS enjoyed the honor of pacing both the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500 – two races that could arguably be considered the traditional pinnacles of American motorsports. Now, it has apparently been decided that the Camaro’s performance was good enough to bring it back for the 2010 Indianapolis 500 with a brand-new livery.
This year’s Chevy Camaro SS Indy 500 Pace Car features the stock 426-hp 6.2L V-8, but adds an RS appearance package and a leather interior with Inferno Orange interior accents. Indy 500 logos can be found on the doors and on each headrest, while Indy 500 badges garnish the front fenders. New for this year’s Indy 500 Pace Car is a unique front grille that Chevrolet will add to the options list in the future, while the obvious light bar also takes its place in the rear window.
“Chevrolet has done it again with the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS Pace Car, it is simply beautiful,” said Jeff Belskus, president and CEO of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corporation. “The car’s tribute to ‘500′ history and its sports car feel will be a big hit with our fans, and it will look great leading the Indianapolis 500 field on race day.”

Z28 Returns in 2011
2011 Camaro Z28
There are unconfirmed reports that the supercharged, 500 plus horsepower Chevy Camaro Z28 program is back on track. The Z28 was to be the top-of-the-line option when the new fifth-generation car graced us in 2010, but it was shelved during GM’s financial crisis.
It looks like the Camaro Z28 might be back on track now and will likely feature a distinctive body kit, new hood, spoiler, and of course different wheels. Underneath the restyled hood will reside the supercharged 6.2-liter LSA V8 that currently powers the Cadillac CTS-V and we expect in the neighborhood of 550 horses.

2010 Chevy Camaro Recall
2010 Chevy Camaro
The much anticipated 2010 Chevy Camaro has only been available for a few weeks, but the car has already suffered its first set back! Apparently GM issued a recall due to an exposed battery cable.
The problem came to GM’s attention when vehicles were brought in for service due to frayed cable insulation. Luckily the issue only lies with the V-8 equipped Chevy Camaros and only 300 have been sold so far.
Flores a GM spokesman said they will tow the faulty Camaros to dealers and offer free loaner vehicles and oil changes.
It will take dealerships about 30 minutes to adjust the positive battery cable so it doesn’t come in contact with the starter motor housing.
“This is obviously a very important launch for us, and we want to do whatever it takes to keep the customers happy,” said Flores.
We all have high expectations for the Chevy Camaro and hope this is only a minor set back.
