When you were young, did you play with toy cars? While sitting on your floor pushing around your Hot Wheels, did you ever dream of being behind the wheel of something with such cartoonish proportions? Chevrolet recently released the 2013 Camaro Hot Wheels Edition, and it is your best chance to get behind the wheel of a full size Hot Wheels model. The tremendously good news? It has a soundtrack that you could have never imagined when you were a kid.

The American Muscle Car of your dreams
The muscle car, as an entity, couldn't be more American if it was powered by apple pie and had its interior stitched together by Betsy Ross. The concept of a powerful two-door coupe, with a large V8 engine under the hood that can cruise boulevards while winning at the local drag strip is the property of legends. Movies have been made with muscle cars as the main characters. Think of a famous male actor from the sixties and seventies and I'll bet you can connect them to a piece of American muscle (sorry James Dean, you've been excluded from our list).
When Chevrolet re-introduced the Camaro in 2010, they managed to build a car that looked both retro and modern. The fifth generation of the Camaro delivers the American muscle car to the 21st century. The Camaro embodied late 60s Camaro styling, contemporary driving characteristics, and a manner that is unmistakable. This year Chevrolet upped the ante, and in partnership with Hot Wheels, created the first ever Hot Wheels branded full size car.
A Hot Wheels Camaro!
The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels edition is as brash of a car as anything you can buy. It might not be a perfect fit for everyone, but if you're looking to relive your childhood or just have something that would be a lot of fun to take to local car shows.
This remind of my childhood days. How cool to see that beafy tires and the bold look of the Camaro. I wonder what grip and control would the Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 plus bring to this V8 hot wheels.
I like the concept of a powerful two-door coupe, with a large V8 engine under the hood. And I learn a lot from repairing car blog and happy to share with everyone.
Thanks for the drive in the bitchin’ Camaro!
I recently took a group photo of my original 1968 Hot Wheels collection from my childhood…they bring a big grin every time I look at them…much like the full size version you test drove.
I like Chevrolet, but older years when they made really high-quality cars. Now in my memory there are only a couple of cars that can be considered good. I have recently become a big fan of BMW, in the coming year I bought a BMW 7 and now I think to update the good wheels bmwstylerims.com which offers an excellent range of products

I have a pristine collection multiple colors of each of the original first 16 models…plus original tracks and other accessories. Even though they are worth quite bit …. I will never sell them.
P.S. My dad who is now in that big car guy garage in the sky told me once… “Karl, There is no substitute for cubic inches.” I took that to heart from a early age and have been a V8 person all my life…no matter the marque.
Absolutely gorgeous!
