The RENNtech Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, front and side view

Although on the surface it may look like nothing more than an ordinary, run-of-the-mill 451 horsepower Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (assuming, of course, that it's possible to consider a Mercedes C63 AMG either ordinary or run-of-the-mill), pictured before you is the latest combatant set to do battle in the ever growing ring of tuned AMG C-Class models: the RENNtech C63 AMG. Boasting a pavement scorching total output of 548 peak horsepower and 510 lb-ft. of torque, RENNtech's C63 offers massive amounts of thrust across the low-to-mid rpm range, while top speed comes in at a mighty 187 mph.

 
Chevrolet Camaro SS laps the 'Ring in... 8:20
News - Auto News

In this automotive day and age, any vehicle that has even a trace amount of performance in its DNA has to make the rounds around the Nurburgring. The new Chevy Camaro SS isn't exempt. So after GM revealed the Camaro on Monday, one of the scribes at InsideLine ran up to an engineer to find out what kind of time the Camaro put down at the Nordschleife. According to Doug Houlihan, GM's chief engineer for global rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the Camaro SS ran the 'Ring in 8:20.

To put that into perspective, the recently released 2008 Cobalt SS did the deed in 8:22, along with the BMW E46 M3 and the last generation BMW M Coupe, followed by the Lotus Exige S and Porsche Cayman S at 8:25.

Ed Welburn, GM'S veep of global design, concedes that the Camaro's shape is merely adequate from an aerodynamic standpoint, with a coefficient of drag on the SS of 0.35 and on the LS/LT models of 0.36 - largely a result of the recessed headlamps and full-width grille.

Houlihan went on to say that their time at the 'Ring allowed them to dial in the steering response and suspension settings, and that the StabiliTrak traction control system on the Camaro will be the best GM can offer. Settings on the SS model allow drivers to choose between track and performance modes, along with completely disabling the system. A launch control feature will also be available on the SS.

The only question now is: where's the video?
