Big alloys are the only clue...
Time for a bit of multi-culturalism, folks, by which we mean the relatively laid-back muscle of the latest Chevy Camaro SS getting a dose of ruthless German efficiency courtesy of Munich tuner Karl Geiger.
Herr Geiger has taken one of the first 6.2-litre LS3 V8-equipped Camaro SS's to arrive in Germany, and done what comes naturally - bolting on a socking great supercharger and a free-er flowing exhaust to uprate the standard car's 432hp to a highly respectable 568hp at 4,100rpm with 590lb ft of torque.
... to the Camaro SS Kompressor's potential
The result, according to the latest press release from Geiger Cars is an SS that will hit a top speed of 195mph if you're brave enough to hang on. A 0-60 time isn't quoted in the press release, but something around the 4.5sec mark seems plausible.
In order to maintain a semblance of controllability, Geiger have installed up-rated coil-over units at the front, and added adjustable anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles. The brakes have also been upgraded with six-pot callipers at the front matched to 380mm grooved discs, and four-pot callipers with 355mm discs at the rear.
Externally, with the exception of those Geiger Cars stickers, the car appears standard apart from its wheels and tyres - uprated to 10x22ins light alloys with 265/30 front and 295/25 rear tyres.
What's not to like? Except possibly the price, but we know we can't afford it as they say we've got to ask...
