Yiminyaka yama-2020 futhi izinkulungwane zabashayeli zisathenga i-Camaros minyaka yonke. Ngo-2017 kuphela, kwathengiswa amaCamaros angama-67,940. Nokho, izinto zazingahambi kahle ngaso sonke isikhathi. Le moto idlule ebuhleni nasebuhleni bayo. Qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole kabanzi mayelana nokuthi iCamaro ibe kanjani imoto eyiyo namuhla nokuthi kungani kunemodeli eyodwa ongeke uyithole kwenye indawo.

Igama lokuqala kwakungu "Panther".

Ngesikhathi i-Chevy Camaro isesigabeni sokuklama, onjiniyela abasebenza emotweni babhekisela kuyo ngegama lekhodi: "Panther". Ithimba lezentengiso lakwaChevy licubungule amagama angaphezu kuka-2,000 ngaphambi kokuthi lizinze ku-"Camaro". Ngegama eliklanywe ngokucophelela, abafuni ukuthi libonakale esidlangalaleni kuze kube isikhathi esifanele.

I-Chevrolet yaqala ukudayisa i-Camaro ngo-1966 futhi yayinenani eliyisisekelo lika-$2,466 (okungaba ngu-$19,250 namuhla). Abazange bathengise i-Mustang ngalowo nyaka, kodwa akusona ukuphela kwendaba yeCamaro.

Abaphathi kanye namalungu emithombo yezindaba babuthana emahhotela emadolobheni angu-14 ahlukene ase-US ukuthola ukuthi yini iChevy ephezu kwayo.

Ochwepheshe abayikhulu abavela e-Bell bebelindile ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi ucingo lungenziwa ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa. I-teleconference yaba yimpumelelo, futhi ngo-1970, lapho i-Chevrolet isilungele ukuqala umsebenzi wemoto yesizukulwane sesibili.

Qhubeka ufunda ukuze uthole ukuthi ukuguqulwa komgibeli oyedwa kube okujwayelekile ngokushesha.

Izinketho eziyisikhombisa zezinjini

I-Camaro ayizange ibe nenketho yenjini eyodwa ngesikhathi yethulwa okokuqala. Ayengekho ngisho amabili. Zaziyisikhombisa. Inketho encane kunazo zonke kwakuyi-six-cylinder injini ene-carburetor eyodwa-barrel. Abathengi bangakhetha i-L26 230 CID ene-140 hp. noma i-L22 250 CID ene-155 hp

Izinjini ezinamandla kakhulu ezinikezwa i-Chevy kwakuyizinjini ezimbili ezinkulu ezinama-carburetor ezine-barrel, i-L35 396 CID enamandla amahhashi angu-325 kanye ne-L78 396 CID enamandla amahhashi angu-375.

U-Yenko Camaro usenamandla nakakhulu

Ngemuva kokuthi kwethulwe i-Camaro emphakathini, umnikazi wesitolo nomshayeli wemijaho u-Don Yenko ulungise imoto wakha iYenko Super Camaro. I-Camaro yayikwazi ukufaka uhlobo oluthile lwenjini kuphela, kodwa u-Yenko wangena wenza izinguquko ezithile.

Ngo-1967, uYenko wathatha ama-SS Camaros ambalwa washintsha izinjini wafaka engu-72 cubic-inch (427 L) Chevrolet Corvette L7.0 V8. Lona umshini onamandla! UJenko ucabange kabusha ngokuphelele umqondo weCamaro futhi washintsha indlela abantu abaningi abacabanga ngayo ngemoto.

Inketho yesifutho sethaya

I-Camaro ka-1967 yakhiqizwa kuphela njengenketho. Awukwazi ukukhetha injini kuphela, kodwa ungafaka neketango lesondo le-V75 Liquid Aerosol. Kwakufanele kube enye indlela yamaketanga eqhwa asetshenziswa eqhweni. I-aerosol engasetshenziswa kabusha izofihlwa emithonjeni yamasondo angemuva. Umshayeli ubekwazi ukuchofa ibhathini bese kuthi isifutho sivale amathayi ukuze adonse.

Ekuqaleni, lo mbono wakhanga abathengi, kodwa ekusebenzeni awuzange uphumelele njengamathayi asebusika noma amaketanga eqhwa.

Lesi sici kungenzeka ukuthi asizange sibe mnandi, kodwa eminyakeni emibili nje kamuva i-Camaro yayizothola ukuvela kabusha ekudumeni.

1969 I-Camaro ingcono kakhulu kuneyasekuqaleni

Ngo-1969, abakwaChevy bakhiphe imodeli entsha, ebuyekeziwe yeCamaro yabo. I-Camaro yango-1969 yaba isizukulwane sokuqala esidume kakhulu iCamaro.

Nokho, u-1979 kwaba unyaka odayise kakhulu izimoto. Abathengi baye bakhangwa izimoto ezisebenza kahle futhi bathenga amaCamaros angu-282,571 ngalowo nyaka. Cishe angama-85,000 kubo kwakungu-Z/28.

I-Chevy Camaro Z 1979 yango-28 yayiyi-coupe enezicabha ezimbili ezidonsa ngamasondo angemuva futhi idonsa ngamagiya amathathu. Yayinenjini engu-350 cubic inch enamandla angu-170 kanye ne-torque engu-263 lb-ft. Ngejubane eliphezulu lika-105 mph, isheshise isuka ku-zero yaya ku-60 mph ngemizuzwana engu-9.4 futhi yavala ikota yemayela ngemizuzwana engu-17.2.

Khona-ke uChevy wethula le Camaro elandelayo ehlanya.

Abantu bebehlanya nge-IROC-Z

Ngawo-1980, iGM yandisa ukusebenza kweCamaro ngokwethula i-IROC-Z, eqanjwe ngoMjaho Wamazwe Ngamazwe Wompetha. Ishaya ngamasondo angu-16 inch ane-spoke wheels kanye neTuned Port Injection (TPI) engu-5.0 litre V-8 enamandla angu-215.

Isamba esingu-6,562 1972 Camaros sakhiwa ngo-1,000. Kulelo nani, zingaphansi kwe-XNUMX ezakhiwe ngezinjini ezinkulu. Yebo, uma uthenge i-Camaro eyayingenayo, zazikhona izindlela zokuthuthukisa imoto, yayingashibhile nje.

I-hatchback yethulwa ngo-1982.

Ngo-1982, iChevrolet yenza into engasile. Lokhu kunikeze iCamaro inguqulo yayo yokuqala ye-hatchback. Njengoba wazi, inhloso yeCamaro kwakuwukuncintisana neMustang. Eminyakeni emithathu ngaphambili, abakwaFord babeyethule ngempumelelo i-Mustang nge-hatchback, ngakho kwaChevy kwakudingeka benze okufanayo ngeCamaro.

I-hatchback ye-Camaro ibonakale idume ngendlela emangalisayo. Eminyakeni engu-20 eyalandela, abakwaChevy banikela ngayo njengephakeji labathengi bezimoto. Ngo-2002, le nketho yasuswa futhi i-Camaro yabuyela esimweni sayo sendabuko ngo-2010.

Lesi sikhathi nge-air conditioning

Kungase kungabonakali njengento enkulu kangako, kodwa eminyakeni emihlanu yokuqala yokuba khona kweCamaro, isimo somoya kwakungeyona inketho yokuthenga. Ekugcineni, ngemva kwezikhalazo ezanele, i-Chevy yenza into engokoqobo futhi yanikeza isimo somoya okokuqala ngqa.

Imodeli yokuqala ye-air-conditioning kwakuyi-Z28 ngo-1973. Ukwenza ukungezwa kwenzeke, inkampani yakhipha injini kusuka ku-255 kuya ku-245 yamahhashi futhi yafaka iyunithi ye-hydraulic emotweni. Ngenxa yalokhu, abanikazi beCamaro ogwadule bakwazile ukunyakaza ngokucacile nangokukhululeka!

Amasondo e-alloy 1978

Unyaka wokuqala i-Chevy iqala ukunikeza i-Camaros ngamasondo e-alloy kwakungu-1978. Bebeyingxenye yephakethe le-Z28 futhi bebenamathayi ayi-15X7 akhulumayo amahlanu anombhalo omhlophe othi GR70-15. Isingeniso sifike ngemuva konyaka uPontiac eqale ukuhlomisa iTrans Am ngamasondo afanayo.

Ukubuyiselwa kweCamaros enemigqa

Uma kwenzeka ubona i-Camaro enemigqa emgwaqeni, kunendlela elula yokubona ukuthi ibuyiselwe noma cha. I-Chevy ifaka kuphela imivimbo ku-Camaros yesizukulwane sokuqala enamabheji e-SS. Imigqa emibili ebanzi njalo yayigijima ophahleni lwemoto kanye nesivalo somboko. Futhi amamodeli kuphela kusukela ngo-1967 kuya ku-1973 athola imivimbo.

Uma enye i-Camaro inale mithende, uyazi-ke ukuthi ibuyiselwe, ngesandla noma uchwepheshe wendawo. Okuwukuphela kwento ehlukile kulo mthetho izimoto ze-Camaro pace zango-1969, ezazinamabheji e-SS kodwa zingenayo imithende.

Kugcine ngaphansi kweso

Lapho abakwaChevy beqala ukusebenza eCamaro, bagcina lo msebenzi ngaphansi kweso. Akazange nje abe negama lekhodi elithi "Panther", kodwa futhi lalifihliwe emehlweni okubuka. Imfihlakalo yemoto isize ekudaleni ukulangazela kokuvezwa okungaba khona nokukhululwa. Amaqhinga ayephambana nakwaFord.

Ngemva kwenyanga kwethulwa i-Camaro emhlabeni, abakwaChevy baqala ukuletha i-Camaro kuma-dealships ezweni lonke. Kwabaningi, lesi singeniso saphawula ukuqala kwe "Pony Car Wars," impi enonya phakathi kwabakhiqizi esaqhubeka nanamuhla.

Inamandla kakhulu kunakuqala

I-Camaro ka-2012 ilethe inguqulo yemoto enamandla kakhulu emakethe. Imoto yamahhashi angu-580 ithuthukiswe kakhulu isuka kumodeli yasekuqaleni yamahhashi angu-155. Heck, ngisho neCamaro yango-1979 yayinamandla amahhashi angu-170 kuphela.

Kodwa-ke, ayikho i-Camaro eqhathaniswa nemodeli ka-2018. Inikwe amandla injini engu-6.2L LT4 V-8, lo mfana omubi unokudluliswa kokushisa okuphumelelayo kunamamodeli angaphambilini futhi usawadlula wonke ngamandla angu-650!

Konke ngezinombolo

Ngo-1970, iChevrolet yabhekana nenkinga enkulu. Babengenayo i-Camaros kaNcibijane eyanele ukuze bahlangabezane nesidingo futhi kudingeke bathuthuke. Hhayi-ke, akukuningi okumele kuthuthukiswe kuze kubambezeleke ukukhululwa. Lokhu kwakusho ukuthi amaCamaros amaningi ka-1970 empeleni kwakungamaCamaros ka-1969.

Njengoba uchwepheshe esho, “Umzimba uyafa udinga umdwebo omningi kakhulu ukuze ishidi lensimbi lihlangane. U-Fisher unqume ukulungisa kabusha umdwebo uyafa... amaphaneli ekota atholakele, agxivizwe kusuka kumafa amasha, abemabi kakhulu kunomzamo wangaphambilini. Okufanele ngikwenze? IChevrolet iphinde yalibazisa iCamaro kanti uFischer usedale ama-dies amasha.

Cishe bekukhona inqola yesiteshi yaseCamaro

Uma ubucabanga ukuthi ukuhluka kwe-hatchback yinto embi, khona-ke uzojabula kakhulu ukwazi ukuthi i-Chevy ilahle izinhlelo zenguqulo yenqola yesiteshi. Lolu hlobo olusha beluhloselwe imindeni yesimanje efuna imoto entsha ezoyisa izingane zayo ebholeni.

Inkampani ibiyithuthukisile le moto kanti ibilungiselela ukwethula ngesikhathi beyivala. Sonke masiphefumulele phezulu ukuthi le nguqulo ye-Camaro ayikaze ingene emakethe!
