Camaro 5 performance parts 1 600x401 at Camaro 5 Performance Parts Collection Released

Tuners and aftermarket specialists are not going to like this, but Chevrolet announced the launch of a huge collection of factory-engineered performance parts and accessories for fifth-generation Camaros. They cover every model from 2010 onwards, and include parts from the ZL1, the SS 1LE, even the COPO.

It offers the owners of every Camaro model to freely browse the catalog and choose only the parts he or she think would make the car better for the purpose they have in mind. For instance, if you want to go drag racing, you can get the COPO components, and pair it with ZL1’s strong driveline system.

Those interested in track days and circuit racing can get the SS 1LE, which is homologated for competition in SCCA’s T2 class. The same components in the Chevrolet Performance 1LE Track Pack enabled a production Camaro SS 1LE to circle Virginia International Raceway in less than three minutes.

If you just want to make your street going Camaro SS or V6 a little bit sportier, there are various engine upgrade and brake kits, as well as suspension systems and transmission upgrade parts. There is a LS3 head/LS7 camshaft treatment that adds 40 horsepower to the output of Camaro SS’ V8.

Here’s a list of the main Camaro 5 performance parts:

Camaro ZL1 components:

  • ZL1 front brake kit for Camaro SS (part number 22959672) – It includes racing-style front two-piece, 14.6-inch front rotors and six-piston Brembo calipers with aluminum housings and ZL1 logo. The kit includes two rotors, two calipers, brake pads and mounting hardware. It is a direct replacement for Camaro SS. It works with production chassis controls, including StabiliTrak, traction control and antilock brakes, and does not void the vehicle warranty.
  • ZL1 rear brake kit for Camaro SS (part number 23104466) – It complements the ZL1 front brake kit with ZL1-logo calipers. The kit includes two calipers, brake pads and installation hardware.

  • ZL1 front/rear brake kit for Camaro V-6 (part number 22989384) – Upgrades the front and rear brakes for 2010-and-later Camaro V-6 models with the 14.6-inch front and 14.4-inch rear brake components from the ZL1. The kit includes two front, two-piece rotors and six-piston calipers, two rear single-piece rotors and four-piston calipers, brake pads, master cylinder and installation hardware. Twenty-inch wheels are required for caliper clearance. It works with production chassis controls, including StabiliTrak, traction control and antilock brakes, and does not void the vehicle warranty.
  • ZL1 short-throw shifter (part number 19299460) – Quicker, more precise-feeling gear changes are enabled by the ZL1’s 5.1-ratio shifter. It is a direct replacement for the six-speed manual transmission shifter in the Camaro SS. Does not void vehicle warranty.

Their different torsional stiffness rates work in conjunction with the limited-slip differential to minimize the chance of wheel hop at launch. The kit is a direct bolt-in for the Camaro SS and V-6 models, although additional parts may be required for installation. Manual transmission kits feature a 3.73 axle ratio and automatic transmission kits have a 3.23 ratio.
