One of the shining stars at this year’s SEMA Show is the Camaro AutoX Concept. With a Shock Yellow finish it’ll grab the attention of any passerby, but it’s more than just a pretty color with sporty ground effects, it’s [supposedly] built to be a top autocross contender. Hence the name.
The Camaro AutoX Concept sees trickle-down performance parts from more capable models such as the 1LE and ZL1; it even uses a strut brace from the convertible models. Altogether the performance enhancements are as follows:
- Chevrolet Performance suspension lowering kit that includes stiffer springs and specifically tuned dampers, and lowers the ride height up to 0.75 inch (20mm)
- A concept “plus performance” handling kit that includes larger stabilizer bars and stiffer suspension links
- A concept strut tower brace that provides additional chassis stiffness
- Chevrolet Accessories 20-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in Goodyear 285/35R20 performance tires
- Chevrolet Performance front brake kit featuring six piston calipers and 370mm, two-piece slotted rotors
- Concept cold-air intake system and a calibration upgrade to the ECU for optimized performance across the RPM range, with the turbocharger generating up to 20 pounds of boost
- Six-speed manual transmission with a concept short-throw shifter for quicker gear shifts
- Chevrolet Performance exhaust system with a polished 4-inch outlet delivers a throatier exhaust note and reduces back-pressure by roughly 14 percent
- An Active Noise Cancellation calibration update is included for vehicles with the Bose stereo system
