Today at Comic-Con, General Motors officially announced the 2010 Chevy Camaro Transformers Special Edition. The $995 appearance package can be applied to LT (V6) and SS-trim Camaros in Rally Yellow with or without the optional RS package."

  1. Pig iron, I've got pig iron. by CountBrass · · Score: 0, Troll

    Unfortunately it requires you to buy an American car.

    Has the American car industry actually managed to get a whole 100bhp/litre out of a normally aspirated car yet? Or install suspension that wouldn't feel more at home in a super-soft bed?

    Top Gear regularly make the joke that American car engines are made out of pig iron. And that was certainly true when I considered, for a whole 5 minutes, buying a Ford Mustang. A modern performance car with a *solid* rear axle and a lump of volcanic rock for an engine? No wonder I went out and bought European instead.

    Putting this 'appearance pack' on a Chevrolet is like putting lipstick on a pig.
