Attack of the Camaros!


One, two, three, four, five, SIX 2010 Camaros have arrived between our two locations - McEleney Autocenter and McEleney Autoplex.

Our latest beauty is a 2SS Camaro with the RS package. Its silver and the black racing stripes are being put on as I type. If you are keeping track, Iowa City has sold 2 rally yellow Camaro both with racing stripes in addition to the 2SS that got dropped off today.

The 2SS sports the 6.2L V8 engine that produces 420 HP with the 6 speed automatic and 426 HP with the available 6 speed manual. 420 horses and 25 MPG highway should put a smile on your face! Top it off with Pirelli tires and Brembo brakes and you have one bad machine. It's certainly going to be the star (again) of the new Transformers movie when it comes out.

I am too young to have remembered the glory days of the Camaro in the late 1960s and I must say I was not a huge fan of the last round of Camaro but this, well, speaks to me. In my opinion this is the coolest vehicle we have sold at our dealerships since I was born in 1980.

Please stop by either of our dealerships to get a first hand look yourself ASAP before they get delivered!
