One of the more intriguing features of the concept version of the new Chevy Camaro 's interior was the "torque meter" on the four-gauge instrument cluster. Unfortunately, according to Popular Mechanics and now confirmed in a photo taken by Xeper, a forum fan-boy over at GMInsideNews , it's a feature that won't be making it from concept to 2010 Chevy Camaro production accessory. Popular Mechanics ' Ben Stewart made the claim first in his review of the pre-production Camaro concept last month: "The optional console mount gauges on Camaros we've seen before have included a "torque meter." This, we thought, was an odd choice for this valuable real estate. Well, apparently the engineers thought so too. Both prototypes had transmission temperature gauges in place of the torque meter. [Engineering Program Manager Anthony] McCormack says the torque meter is history." We can see from the shot up top the four gauges in the cluster are now oil pressure...

We reported last night we'd heard that the official production 2010 Chevy Camaro announcement's coming later this month.

But see that's just what they want — to make driving this car an indulgence. And why wouldn't it be? Especially as it now appears that although the V8-engined 2010 Camaro SS may be getting all the attention, the V6 is going to pack quite a punch as well. These new shots from the forum fan-boys looking beyond the F-body at Camaro5 give us the clearest look yet under the hood of the six-cylinder model. But this does not appear to be your grandpa's engine. galleryPost('CamaroV6underhood', 3, 'What Is This V8 You Speak Of?'); Look closely at the throttle-body size and shape and the bolts holding it on, the three fluid reservoirs in the same locations, all cues that this is indeed the glorious direct-injection V6. That means about 300 HP, the same sort of power Ford gets from the V8 Mustang GT. And...
