Remember when we said that the Yenko brand would be revived with new models based on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro? Well, we won't have long to wait to see the real thing. General Marketing Capital Limited (GMCI), the proud new owners of the legendary Yenko name and brand, have announced they will debut the first prototype of the 2010 Yenko Camaro at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas next week.

Using the V8-powered SS as a base, the "Phase I" Yenko Camaro will feature a supercharger to boost horsepower to 600, a Hurst short-throw shifter, larger brakes and Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system, not to mention the various Yenko badges affixed to the wheels, seats, sill plates, floor mats, etc. GMCI promises that a Phase II and III will follow, and just like Don Yenko took advantage of the COPO program to order Camaros with the 427ci engine, we hope that GMCI will make use of GM Performance parts and swap out the LS3 for an engine of proper displacement befitting a Yenko Super Car. Can you say LS7? Hit the jump for full details.

ive been saying the ls7 would be the perfect engine for this car. i would love to have a yenko 427.....

 

not impressed. i was hoping for more flair, but, oh well.

 

The original Yenko's were all go and no show. Yenko's (at least camaros) have never been about flair.

 

I like the wheels.

 

Seems like everyone is making a "Super" Camaro... except GM.

 

Heh, and then the haters will start to whine about to many Camaro SE's floating around

 

I think it looks pretty decent. Now dump the huffer and use an LS7 instead, please.

 

Why Bob?

I would vote for the huffer in an instant... right after I ****-canned the craptastic pistons.

 

Just not a fan of forced induction. Been down the road a couple of times, and would rather get my rocks off on all motor.

Personal preference.

 

Ah, okey-dokey!
