First and foremost, the 2012 Camaro will get an improved version of the direct-injected 3.6 liter V6 LLT engine. Dubbed LFX and also standard in the Cadillac SRX and Chevy Impala, the powerplant has several advantages compared to the outgoing LLT, including:

• New cylinder head design with integrated exhaust manifold
• Improved intake port design and larger intake valves within the cylinder heads
• Longer-duration intake camshafts
• Composite intake manifold
• New fuel pump and isolated fuel rail
• New, optimized-flow fuel injectors
• Structural front cover and cylinder block enhancements
• Stronger and lighter-weight connecting rods
• Camshaft cap and throttle body design enhancements

The LFX is good for for a whopping 323 horsepower (241 kW) at 6,800 RPM — an increase of 11 ponies (8 kW) compared to the LLT — without so much as a drop in fuel economy. The new engine, however, isn’t only about more power — it’s also 20.5 pounds (9.3 kg) lighter than its predecessor, providing a more balanced driving experience.

Rounding out the powerplant changes are a new fuel pump for the direct injection system that’s quieter as well as a new isolated fuel rail system that reduces fuel system noise. The addition of the LFX puts the Camaro at the top of the pony car power wars in the V6 segment.


FE4 Suspension

With a focus on refined handling, the FE4 package — exclusive to the Camaro SS coupe — provides more effective body control and more precise response in performance driving situations. It includes:

• Retuned front and rear dampers
• New solid front (23 mm) and rear (24 mm) stabilizer bars
• Twenty-inch aluminum wheels and P245/45R20 (front) and P275/40R20 (rear) tires (SS)

“Our objective was to create a more precise sport suspension for the SS coupe, with greater road-holding capability,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. ”We applied lessons learned from extensive track testing to better refine the suspension geometry for flatter cornering, a more neutral balance during hard turns, and minimized understeer at the limit.”

With adjusted suspension geometry and reshaped stabilizer bars, the FE4 has its roots in the ongoing development of the king of all Camaros — the ZL1.


Interior

Most likely the subject of most Camaro-related complaints is the the interior of the 2010 and 2011 Camaro. Chevy has rectified this with ergonomic and technology updates, including:

• Revised instrument panel appearance with new instrument graphics and trim
• New steering wheel design intended to support performance driving
• Power lift feature for the front passenger seat
• Rear Vision Package that consists of a rear view camera inside of the auto-dimming rear view mirror in the existing Rear Park Assist feature

Exterior

Chevy will also make a number of updates to what is most likely the best aspect of the fifth-generation Camaro, including:

• A new standard rear spoiler
  
• Standard tail lamps that were previously part of the optional RS appearance package
• The addition of a new body-color “sharkfin” antenna for the RS package
• Crystal Red Tintcoat will replace Red Jewel as exterior color

$50 each, which came up to 214 in total, which hurts, but it was better than the 120 my local Chevy dealer was going to charge me for one.

Alright boys now I have another problem. I’m guessing the battery won’t hold the charge. It wouldn’t start today in the morning so I jumped it and drove around for 15 minutes and I got home, turned it off and it wouldn’t start.

If it is the original battery, probably needs to be replaced. My experience is once these newer type batteries go dead they rarely hold a charge again. I have replaced two this year that did that.

A local parts store can tell you for sure if it's the battery. You'll have to take it to them. Is your battery has been dying a lot it may have given out on you

I assure you, not only did I check them next to a rs 2013 ss but I checked my build codes and rs tail lamps are not in there. This car came with the lighter lens on them.

Well I know for a fact my 2012 1LT Non RS has them, my 2010 1LT Non RS didn’t.

Alright, so after a new battery. Its been fixed. Damn didn’t think I was going to end up spending that much. Everything is working normally now but i got a TMPS alert, also my right driver tire pressure isn’t showing up.

[chuckie669]

Do you have a magnet? You can actually reset the tpms using the reset option and a strong magnet by the valve stem. I have one of those free harbor freight trays that works great.

Discount tire usually does it free as well.

If it stays a -- then you may have a dead tpms battery -_-.
