National Name Your Car Day was yesterday, October 2nd, which is why Chevrolet is inviting enthusiasts to christen a special-edition Camaro SS that will debut at the SEMA 2014 show in Las Vegas next month. This new model, which features an exclusive Emerald Green Metallic exterior color plus other unique exterior elements, will arrive at Chevrolet dealers in the first quarter of 2015.
“Chevrolet has made a tradition of offering special-edition models each spring, but this is the first time we’ve turned to the community of Camaro fans to name it,” said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager. “We can’t think of a better way to involve the owners and enthusiasts who have made it the segment’s best-selling sports car for four years running.”
This Emerald Green Metallic Camaro SS will be offered in both coupe and convertible models with 2SS trim and the following items:
- RS Appearance Package, which includes high-intensity discharge headlamps, light-emitting diode (LED) taillamps, RS-specific front upper grille, body-color roof moldings, and body-color antenna
- Chrome Dusk 21-inch accessory wheels (or, if you live outside the U.S., 20-inch polished wheels)
- Body-color SS hood extractor
- Body-color accessory ground effects package
- Body-color ZL1 rear spoiler
- Cyber Gray rally stripes
All cars will feature a black interior with Graphite Silver door panel and instrument panel inserts. Convertibles will receive a black top. Options include a sunroof, dual-mode exhaust (except for export models), navigation radio, and Chevrolet Performance short-throw shifter.
Of course, since it’s an SS, the is powered by GM’s 6.2L LS3 V8 putting out 426 horsepower with the standard six-speed manual transmission or 400 horsepower with the optional six-speed automatic transmission, which utilizes the 6.2L L99 V8.
Name suggestions can be submitted at twitter.com/Chevrolet and facebook.com/chevycamaro. Be sure to use the tag #NameThatCamaro. Chevrolet will announce the winning name next month at the Camaro’s official debut at SEMA 2014.

The Camaro “Highlander” in honor of the “Emerald Isle.”
“Highlands” is in reference to the Scottish Highlands, and the regional Highland style of single malt scotch whisky.
The “Emerald isle” refers to Ireland.
So a distinctly Scottish word isn’t best to honour Ireland.
I like the name Camaro Envy edition. “All others wish they could look this good in Green”.
Or the Camaro Kermit edition”It’s not easy being green”.
‘ENVY’. Others are green with envy when they see this Camaro!
The Green Ranger!

I think it should be called OZ, in reference to the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz!
Name it “Smegma”

Camaro HCH____ Henry C Haga was the man who was put incharge of the design team that had to make a 4 seat sports car to compete with the new Mustang. I think the car should recognize his inspiration. The Chevrolet Camaro HCH Edition!

I think it should be a more of an abbreviation like NICO (Neurologically Inducing Camaro Offspring).
Camaro GR8
I think it should be called Mr. Green Genes.

Camaro Jack or Jacked Racing Edition. To avoid British ( ie union Jack) in the name. It looks like a British racing green to me.
I suggest “Moon Shadow” and “Nighthawk” simply because I like the names. Otherwise, “Venetian” which refers to Venus, the green planet and the European flair of “Venice”.
