2009 SEMA Show - Limited-Production Synergy Green Chevrolet Camaro Revealed

"Synergy Green," a new Camaro color headed for limited production in 2010, is so rich, it's almost flavorful. Initially, it's easy to appraise Synergy Green as a playful, if not gratuitous, eye-catcher. However, second glances reveal distant dark blues and faint orange flame-flicks. The Camaro's waterfall C-pillar and flat, wide decklid must have been forged with such an active finish in mind. The nuclear hue oozes inside, too. Color-coordinated stitching and acrylic door panel inserts contrast nicely with the Camaro's dark interior trim.

Though Chevrolet calls the Synergy-slathered SEMA Camaro a "concept," each component of its body kit is available from Chevy's in-house accessories catalog. The concept's six-piston Brembo brakes and Pedders coil-over kit aren't available at Chevy dealers.

All three American muscle cars are test beds for bold hues. The Dodge Challenger's B5 Blue is simple and flat; engaging, despite its deadpan. The Ford Mustang's Sunset Gold is a more sophisticated commentary on how society's tastes have shifted, contentious only among those who'd rather leave the '70s behind. In contrast, Chevy's complex Synergy Green has transformed automotive paint trendspotting into a pastime for connoisseurs. That might not end the disco era cliches, but satisfied owners -- and wide-eyed kids -- won't care.
