Chevrolet Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro is the main competitor of the Ford Mustang. They've battled for the title of 'The Best Pony Car' for many years. But, since I've already covered the Mustang, time for its rival.

The Camaro took birth in the 1960s after the release of the Ford Mustang took the American market by storm. Chevrolet did have models out like the Corvair and the Chevy II Nova, but none of those cars cut the mark that the Mustang had set. So, with their knowledge on front-engine, rear-wheel drive cars, Chevy set off.

The new 2021 Camaro is a pretty good car, not only from its styling but its features. It's amazingly precise steering, powerful brakes, and smooth suspension (with adjustability). The Camaro comes with many engine types, having available a 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder, or 8-cylinder.

There are also many trims of the Camaro;

  • 1LS - Available with a 275 HP, 2.0L Turbo V4 engine capable of making 295 LB-FT of torque. This trims comes with either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic w/paddle shifters.
  • 1LT - Available with a 275 HP, 2.0L Turbo V4 engine capable of making 295 LB-FT of torque and a 3.6L, 335 HP V6 engine making 284 LB-FT of torque. All four variants are available with a 6-speed manual. The V4s come offer a 8-speed automatic w/paddle shifters, while the 6 and 8-cylinders have a 10-speed automatic w/paddle shifters.
  • 2LT - Available with a 275 HP, 2.0L Turbo V4 engine capable of making 295 LB-FT of torque and a 3.6L, 335 HP V6 engine making 284 LB-FT. of torque All four variants are available with a 6-speed manual. The V4s come offer a 8-speed automatic w/paddle shifters, while the 6 and 8-cylinders have a 10-speed automatic w/paddle shifters.

  • ZL1 - Available with a 6.2L Supercharged V8 DI engine, making 650 HP and 650 LB-FT of torque, coming with either a 6-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic w/paddle shifters
Like all cars, the Camaro does have a few downfalls. It has practically unusable back seats, a ridiculously small trunk, and pretty bad rear visibility with the new body styling.

 But, the 22 city and 31 highway mileage is something that delivers great fun at a great economical stand point.
