Camaro SS pink pace car

Tomorrow’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series AdvoCare 500, which takes place at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, will feature a special Chevrolet Camaro SS pace car.

Painted pink and white, it bears Making Strides Against Breast Cancer logos and will earn $200 per pace car lap for the American Cancer Society, courtesy of Chevrolet. A similar initiative at last year’s event raised $12,800, following sixty-four caution laps during the race.

Don Johnson, Vice President of Chevrolet Sales and Service, commented: “For our 100th birthday in 2011, Chevrolet began its support of the American Cancer Society, and the generous response from our dealers, employees and customers told us we needed to help the Society fight for more birthdays.

“At Chevy, we believe everyday heroes can accomplish extraordinary things, and it is in this spirit that we work to achieve a world without breast cancer.”

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the United States, and during September Chevrolet will be announcing further activities to support both the American Cancer Society and Making Strikes Against Breast Cancer.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
