The Camaro is powered by a 454 ci big-block V8 paired to a T56 six-speed manual transmission. The motor features an Eagle crankshaft, Speed Pro forged pistons, ported heads, and Holley 850 cfm carburetor. What really makes Pekka&#8217; Camaro unique is the dual studded tires in the front and back. A great choice for added traction on ice.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/jfDURV1D_1s?si=MeUPqTvV4B983PNG\"
