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.
  • 3LT - 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 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.
  • LT1 - Available with a 6.2L V8 DI engine, making 455 HP and 455 LB-FT of torque, coming with either a 6-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic w/paddle shifters.
  • 1SS - Available with a 6.2L V8 DI engine, making 455 HP and 455 LB-FT of torque, coming with either a 6-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic w/paddle shifters.
  • 2SS - Available with a 6.2L V8 DI engine, making 455 HP and 455 LB-FT of torque, coming with either a 6-speed manual or 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.

Jeep Wrangler

  (Courtesy: motorbiscuit.com) Jeep. The company that has brought world-class off-road capability for around 78 years. When you hear the word "Jeep" there's not only the company that comes to mind, but a styling of SUVs that took the car market by storm, in the States, and out, for example India's Mahindra Thar. (Courtesy: motorauthority.com) The Wrangler took life from the all-famous Willy's Jeep which was used greatly in World War II. The Jeep back in the time was known for its capability of getting you anywhere you wanted, as well as being reliable, more than any all terrain SUV at the time. But, moving on from my habits of preaching history, let's move on to what matters, the 2021, Jeep Wrangler. (Courtesy: newsopener.com) The 2021 Jeep Wrangler keeps the styling that they have been using for many years now, but they made one major change. The brand new 4xe, a plug in hybrid, that can take the Jeep (combined with a turbocharged four-cylinder producing 375 ...

Honda Civic Type R

Image
(Courtesy: The Car Connection)   This, is the Honda Civic Type R. The Type R has followed the Civic generations for a long time now, but is available out of the factory in the form of the 10th-Generation. This variant of the Civic is only available with a well-engineered and fun 6-speed manual transmission. The Type R comes with a 306 HP, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 295 LB-FT of torque. Although that really doesn't sound like much, the way Honda puts that power down in their FWD drivetrain is more than any power you need. The best way to think about the Type R, is the go-kart to go grocery shopping in. It's stupidly fun to drive, and equally as practical to use every day of the year. And lets not forget, this conventional sedan is not only practical, but one of the fastest  sport compacts available in the market. If we had to directly compare the car to compare another, the Type R's main rival would be the Hyundai Veloster N (there is a post on the Veloster N, ...
