Saleen SMS620 Camaro: First Images





Apparently since no good Camaro should go un-tuned, here's the SMS 620, the latest from some guy named Steve Saleen. It's packing a built 6.2-liter V8 wearing an SMS292 supercharger and good for 575 hp and 600 ft-lb of torque.

Love the choice in words. Car looks good, but I'm not a fan of the hood vents.

Where is the rice? I'm sure the hood vents would probably be functional.

Saleen working on a bow tie? Didn't see that coming. It looks alright. I wonder if he'll tinker with a Z06 or ZR1.

The red side vents on the hood are functional. They're butterfly valves routed to the supercharger's intake. They only open under hard accleration. Saleen developed a similar additional intake on his first SMS Mustang prototype.

I'm ok with the vents as long as they're functional as said above. I wish they were a different color besides red though. Stand out to much.
