Fifth Gen Camaro Parts Failure - Got a '10-'11 Camaro? Here's What's Gonna Break

When you add a blower, turbo, or otherwise make big power, stuff breaks. Here's what goes when.Introduced in April 2009 as a '10 model, the fifth-gen Camaro is the newest entrant in the Big Three's renewed ponycar wars. Despite the car's late start, loyalists aren't taking a back seat to anyone; they've been beating on the cars, finding what goes wrong, and applying good old hot rodding engineuity to fixing the issues while giving the other guys a run for their money. Still, the new chassis remains a work in progress. Expect big improvements in the top driveline offerings for '12, but in the meantime, here's the scoop on the cars as they are now configured. Our consultants include hard-core Camaro specialists Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE), Livernois Motorsports, IPS Motorsports, the School of Automotive Machinists (SAM), and other insiders. All quoted power levels except for the stock factory ratings are at the rear wheels. Remember, there is at least a 15 percent loss through the drivetrain with a manual trans, up to 20 percent with an automatic.
