The Hollywood Racks Expedition 2 # HRF6-2 is a confirmed fit for your Camaro. It is the only trunk mount that will work.

You also have the option of installing a trailer hitch. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11900 and using it with a hitch mounted bike rack. Hitch mounted bike racks (especially ones that only hold 2 bikes) are much quicker and easier to remove than trunk mounted bike racks, plus it eliminates anything touching the finish on your Camaro.

I recommend using the Kuat Beta # B202-114 for a hanging hitch mount bike rack. This rack is also an aluminum rack so it is rustproof and easy to maneuver, plus it comes fully assembled, has the tilting and folding features, and has an integrated anti-rattle device. It does not include locks for security but they can easily be added with the Kuat Hitch Lock # HL1 and a Cable Lock # e98891. You will also need the stabilizer strap # 18050 that is required by Curt for unsupported loads.

On most hanging style bike racks (including trunk mount options) an Adapter Bar, like part # UB01, is needed for bikes that do not have a horizontal cross tube like a traditional men's bike has. If you use the Expedition you may need to use the adapter bar to ensure that your bike stays level and has the best possibly ground clearance. The two hitch mounted options I recommended actually have a shorter spread between their arms which eliminates the need for an adapter bar for most bikes.

I have attached some review videos of the bike racks as well as an installation video on a similar Camaro for you to check out.
