2023 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Description

This 2023 Chevrolet Camaro 1SS has been extensively modified for track use and is offered as a purpose-built performance machine. Finished in a riverside blue metallic with a jet-black interior, the car combines Chevrolet’s naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 with a comprehensive collection of suspension, braking, engine, safety, and aerodynamic upgrades designed for dedicated circuit driving.

The factory 6.2-liter V8 has been replaced with a new factory engine and is equipped with an MSD intake manifold, 103mm throttle body, heat protection, and an RPM tune. Supporting modifications include a cold-air intake, catch can, new spark plug wires, heat shields, headers with new header gaskets, an X-pipe, O2 sensor extensions, and a Corsa axle-back exhaust. A BMR rear cradle lockout has also been installed to improve chassis control under hard acceleration and cornering.

The Camaro was tested on a Dynojet chassis dynamometer by Race Proven Motorsports, producing a peak 480.60 rear wheel horsepower at 123.88 mph and 482.61 lb-ft of torque at 96.05 mph. The dyno graph shows a broad, consistent power curve, with torque building strongly through the midrange and horsepower remaining near its peak through the upper portion of the pull. The air/fuel ratio remained relatively consistent throughout the run at approximately 12.5:1.

The braking system has been upgraded for repeated track use with AP Racing front brakes, vented caliper pucks in the rear, stainless-steel brake lines, dedicated track brake pads, and SRF racing brake fluid.

The suspension has been extensively reworked with DSSV dampers front and rear, ZLE rear springs, and BMR front and rear sway bars. BMR front and rear end links are paired with a rear toe arm and SPL front tie rods. The car has also been set up with a track alignment.

The car is offered with multiple wheel and tire setups, including two sets of Apex wheels, one set wearing new Goodyear SC 3R tires, and the other set wearing Hoosier R8 slicks with approximately four track sessions of use. Extended wheel studs have been installed at the front to accommodate the track-oriented wheel setup.

Track-focused aerodynamic modifications include an APR trunk-mounted rear wing and an AJ Hartman front splitter. Black wing air ducts further enhance the car's aggressive appearance while contributing to airflow management on track.

The interior has been converted toward dedicated track use with RaceTech bucket seats, 6-point harnesses, and a CMS roll bar. A rear-seat delete kit further reduces weight and emphasizes the car's competition-oriented purpose.

With its upgraded braking system, DSSV suspension, chassis reinforcement, aerodynamic components, multiple wheel and tire packages, built-for-track engine configuration, and dedicated safety equipment, this Camaro has been comprehensively prepared for circuit driving.

The result is a sixth-generation Camaro 1SS that retains the character of Chevrolet's naturally aspirated V8 while incorporating a substantial list of upgrades aimed at improving braking, handling, power delivery, and driver confidence during aggressive track use.
