SEMA 2009: The Chevrolet Camaro 'splosion!!!
Every 2010 Chevrolet Camaro we could find at SEMA - Click above for high-res image gallery
In past years at SEMA, there has always been a single vehicle that seems to be the most popular at the show. Last year, it was the Dodge Challenger and Nissan GTR, but there weren't enough to be overwhelming.
This year, the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro came and infested the Las Vegas convention center like a muscle car cockroach. We couldn't seem to take ten steps without running into one, and by the end of the day, we had witnessed just about every way a Camaro could be customized. You want Lambo doors? You got 'em. How about slammed? Sure. Green? Yellow? Gold? Matte Blue? How about a convertible? Make it two. How about wide? Or ever wider. Engine swaps? Don't get us started. Try an LS7 or even an LS9. If forced induction is your thing, there were both turbocharged and supercharged Camaros. If you'd rather have a Pontiac, there were not one but two different Trans-Am conversions. Tuners like Callaway, Lingenfelter, Hurst, and Hennessey all brought out turnkey versions. There were pace car Camaros, drifter Camaros, movie theme Camaros, anniversary edition Camaros and charity auction Camaros.
To say the least, we've had our fill of Camaros for a long time. Still, we couldn't leave Las Vegas without sharing it all with you, so enjoy through the 100+ shot photo gallery below of every 2010 Camaro saw at SEMA.

Wow... I like the "stock" Camaro... but almost none of these SEMA cars are appealing. Some of these guys should not be in the business of molesting this great new Camaro shape.

Enough of the Hoosier bolt-on crap. Build the Camaro Dusk and price it right, GM!

I would say the best ones out there are the yellow one by Seibon and the one by Hennessey. I know Hennessey's products always get criticized but their Camaro looks pretty good.

Surprised there aren't any real strip-ready drag cars displayed. If it's been out long enough for everyone to have them built up to full show car spec - surely someone wanted to run 7sec 1/4's with theirs by now.

You would need _literally_ no penis at all to drive that.

Why all these moron tuner shops ricing out a perfectly good car like the Camaro? Its downright disgusting what most of these "tuners" are doing to that car.

There is a lot of rice going on with the camaros, I hope this is not a sign of what we are going to see on the street.

The Hurst camaro and the Leno camaro are the best ones hands down... WHile looking at these pictures I unknowingly said out loud "please just leave it alone".

I don't understand the obsession with giant chin spoilers that make the car look chunkier and taller than it already does.

all this is going to kill the Camaro.
I mean the Ford Mustang looks awesome customized, any way you do it.
With the Camaro it just doesn't work. It just doesn't look right

I agree with you guys, some of them are WAY overdone. That's why I keep mine clean.

Ok Drew, so just how many Camaros were there? I'd love to know exactly how many were there. Would be interesting to have a break-down by model. How many Mustangs, Challengers, Camaros, etc. etc.
I have a sneaking suspicion that a rather large amount of the Camaro's sales were due to cars being bought for SEMA. Ok, I know that's not REALLY true but it sounds good! ;)
