2024 SVE Yenko SC Stage III Camaro: Fastest of All Time
The Chevrolet Camaro is wrapping up its production in December 2023, making 2024 the finale for this iconic pony car. Chevy are ending the era with the introduction of two limited-edition models: the Collectors Edition package and the NASCAR-inspired Garage 56 Edition. Both models will be limited editions with power levels to rival anything from the past.
Specialty Vehicles Engineering has also taken the challenge of making the most powerful Camaro yet in the form of a 6th generation Stage III Yenko/SC, paying homage to the Central Office Production Order (COPO) Camaros of the past from the likes of Don Yenko. Mr. Yenko was renowned for making full use of the COPO system, dropping the best powertrains and upgrades into the Camaros, Chevelles and Novas of the day. These vehicles now being considered some of the rarest and fastest of the breed.
2024 SVE Yenko SC Stage III Camaro Specs
Chevy let everyone know in advance that 2024 would be the final year for the Camaro, so there are plenty of options for every pocket. The Camaro ZL1 has an impressive power output with 650 HP and 650 lb.ft. of torque, with a special edition package being limited 350 vehicles. The Garage 56 Edition is set to take part in this year’s Le Mans endurance race is limited to a run of 56 cars.
The special treatment goes to the Yenko/SC Stage I with 1,150HP, the stage II with 1,200HP, and the stage III with a 7.0-liter(427c.i.) supercharged V8 producing 1,500HP. The stage III power levels essentially convert to a 0-60 time of 1.1. seconds, a quarter mile time of 7.45 seconds and a top speed of 261 mph.
To give an idea of the power levels, the next fastest Camaro of all time is the 2019 Hennesy Exorcist Camaro ZL1 doing 217 mph, then the 2017 Camaro ZL1 hitting 198 mph.
The Stage III is also loaded with enhancements such as magnetic ride control, electronic slip diff., Race-tuned suspension, heavy-duty cooling, and dual outboard radiators.
The vehicles will be available through GM dealers throughout America and Canada in 2024, with only 50 being available for the Stage I and II, with a total of a 100 versions of the Stage III being made available. There is no talk of a 2024 Camaro Z/28, but we can’t have everything.
