GM Just Threw Away the Chevy Camaro
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines, GM says that the six
generations Chevy Camaro z/28 program
has been cancelled all right now for the
car guys out there that are the muscle
cars
there have been rumors going around that
they're not going to be making the
Camaros in the future they don't have
any particular plans that they have
set in stone with it there's even some
rumors that they're gonna make an
all electric cars which may be what
they're going to do they're canceling a
sixth generation I'm assuming that they
are gonna stop making Camaros they
stopped making the things a few years
back and then they brought them back
again they had a bunch of quality
control with the ones they were making
in Quebec and so then they just stopped
making them entirely I mean those are
terrible machines in the end I had them
where the wiring harnesses would go out
to transmissions and blow up and they
brought them back again I who knows
maybe they'll just eventually have them
only as an electric car and shelving the
production of any sixth generation
Camaro kind of tells me they yeah
they're maybe they're thinking about
making the mental electric cars only
time will tell her that but you're
obviously thinking about getting rid of
Camaro is a muscle car by not producing
these, ash says hey my wife has
an old ML 320 it's forty eight thousand
mile keep it and driving myself for
selling wife wants a new car
forty-eight thousand miles isn't much if
you haven't had problems with it it
hasn't been wrecked flooded or stolen
you might as well keep it you said it's
an old one if it's an old one it has
virtually no value nobody wants to buy
an old Mercedes the resale value was
cramped but with 48,000 miles generally
don't fall apart until they are over
100,000 miles so what the heck you got
it why not use it for your car and then
get your wife another car obviously
you'll put that many miles on the cars
it still could last a while cuz you
getting nothing selling if it works okay
now what the heck I personally wouldn't
buy one but you already have it so you
might as well driving around you'll get
much for it if you try selling it, Bologna is
there any way to buy nitrogen to fill
your tires yeah oh that's kind of an
interesting subject matter realize that
Earth's atmosphere is already something
like eighty percent nitrogen dress is
about 20 percent oxygen some trace
elements but
about 80% nitrogen already so what
difference does it really make if you
have a 100% nitrogen you tires or 80%
for years people tried to sell me as a
mechanic at my shop systems that purify
the nitrogen in our atmosphere and turn it
into almost a hundred percent
nitrogen and filling the tires with
because theoretically it doesn't oxidize
inside and the temperatures don't affect
it that much when they change hot or
cold or they do use nitrogen I believe
in like the jet airplanes because
they're up at 50,000 feet and it gets
really cold there and the pressure the
tires would keep going up and down for
them and it makes sense but you're not
driving your car at 50,000 feet out
there so you know if you can find a
place that sells the stuff go right
ahead but far as I'm concerned you're
mainly wasting your money on that stuff
for a car that you're driving every day
nobody's approached me in the last year
trying to sell me one of these stupid
nitrogen systems and it cost thousands
of dollars so so if anybody has one
they're gonna charge your pretty penny
to fill up your tires cause hey they had
to pay a bunch of money for the stupid
machine
Daniel pina says hey Scotty is the 2007
f-150 a reliable vehicle these days
yeah the previous owner took care of it
2007 f-150 is pretty reliable vehicle
they're much better with the v8 sixes meh
any vehicle if you're talking about
buying a used one have a mechanic like
me check it out before you show your
money out cuz you don't know something's
wrecked flooded stolen there's all kinds
of things you can go around and with our
fancy machines we can tell I spend about
an hour checking out used cars I just
checked out a used car for a guy this
morning you know it's a fourth of July, I
forgot
he made an appointment so I got up
there anyways they can't be great good
cars but you want to make sure there
isn't a problem in it in the first place
cuz you're not gonna get a guarantee
demon says Scotty I got a
2005 Chrysler Sebring Convertible with
eighty two thousand miles my first car
any thoughts baby that thing that was a
big lemon Mobil that they made the v6
engines those things were terrible it's
still running it's 82 thousand miles
let's say it runs and it shifts good now
baby it you got it it's a convertible a
lot of times people think of verticals
are worth money but convertibles aren't
because everybody knows there were
terrible cars but you gotta take care of
a change the oil every 3,000 miles don't
overheat the engine don't race it don't
peel off
pretend you're a little old lady driving
that car and maybe the last one I got
some little old lady
drive them and they're still going okay
because they drive slow but all the men
that I knew that drove them hard they
all burn out either the engine or the
transmission or both, so if you never

DETAILS | 2019 Chevrolet Camaro Refresh LS LT SS & 1LE Interior & Exterior
Sideways at 11:
Surprise Surprise everyone I'm Danny
with Sideways at 11 and today
Chevrolet unveiled to the world the
newest in the Camaro line the 2019
Camaro SS LT & LS models along with a
first ever turbo 1LE model
So I just wanted to take a moment before I start
so you can take a good look at the car from all angles
So what do you think?
make sure to vote at my poll above
Now on to the details. Firstly design.
although you may or may not like the new
design of the Camaro it was designed
with performance in mind everything from
the front grille the hood the vents were
designed for optimized air flow wether
to help cool or to help with
aerodynamics you can spot right away
that the front has been completely
overhauled everything in the front
fascia has been tweaked including the
headlights the led accents grill hood
and like previous models there will be
differences between the SS LT LS and
other sub models couple of things to
know the SS models will come with a
float I design grille emblem and Aero
enhancing air curtains it will also have
its own unique design - its LED
headlamps and a different hood design
with extractors style vents the rear has
also been revamped with new rear fascias
for all models cars with RS and SS
packages will have specific diffusers
when equipped with a dual-mode exhaust
option the taillights have also been
redone with new dual element designs red
lenses are featured on LS and lt models
with rs/ss with the zl1 variant
featuring dark tinted natural density
lenses a new 20-inch wheel design is
also available on RS and SS models so
let's talk about horsepower since I know
you're all interested in what's new the
SS models retains the 6.2 liter LT1 V8
that produces 455 horsepower and 455
foot-pounds of torque so nothing new
there the 1LE track oriented variant
of the SS model is also available and
similar to the previous model with
similar upgrades which
offer more than 1 G cornering capability
as an option to the SS models the LS and
lt models come with a standard 2 liter
turbo 4-cylinder that puts out 275
horsepower and 295 foot-pounds of torque
or an optional 3.6 liter v6 which
remains the same at 335 horsepower
there's also a new track oriented one le
package added to the family and that is
to the turbo four-cylinder model where
previously it was only available on the
SS and v6 models this adds a slew of
performance improvements to the car like
previous SS models which includes
suspension tire brake and interior
upgrades involving materials like micro
suede or Alcantara along with new tuning
modes like Sport Trac and competition
modes Recaro seats are also available as
an added option to the 1LE cars on
the inside there are three available
infotainment systems the highest tier
version sporting an eight-inch
touchscreen which is designed to mimic
smartphones and tablets with cloud
connection designed to enhance
personalization available navigation
voice recognition apps and more are also
available a new rear-view camera comes
standard on two SS and zl1 packages and
offers a wider less obstructed field of
view using a camera display that
eliminates potential obstructions such
as rear body pillars or seat headrests a
conventional rear view mirror view is
also available for all of you who have
owned the performance data recorded
system on previous models this has also
been enhanced for the new model so what

Camaro - Everything You Need to Know | Up To Speed
Donut Media:
Oh Shit Fire! Where’d you get that bitchin
Camaro? What chu got in there? 7 liter LS
with big cams blower popping out the hood. Bet that thing’s fast as hell. Dang thing’ll blow
the dang doors off a dang import no problem.
Can I get a ride in it?
Camaro, it’s angry, it’s stylish, it’s
bold and it's loud!
From Chevrolet’s point of view, the Camaro
was born out of necessity. From conception
to execution, it was created with one purpose
and one purpose alone.
To destroy the Mustang.
This is everything you need to know to get
up to speed on the Chevy Camaro.
(8-bit music plays)
This episode of Up To Speed is brought to
you by
Vincero watches.
Shoutouts to Vincero for sending me this cool
bad boy.
It looks good, it's really well engineered.
Speaking of really well engineered let's talk
about Camaros.
Chevy entered into the 1965 model year looking
to to overtake Ford in all their categories,
and their plan was 3-fold...
They introduced their Chevelle to compete
with Ford’s Falcon.
They completely redesigned the Impala
and
And they made them both available with the
race inspired Super Sport package.
The nimble Nova and the new Chevelle outsold
Ford in the small and mid-sized market, and
the ‘65 Impala dominated the full size American
Market. They sold over one million units.
A million. One comma, zero-zero-zero comma
zero-zero-zero. And as far as I can find
that record still stands.
Full-size, check. Mid-size, check. Small car
Uh check…
We won all of the three categories am I right boys?
WRONG.
What?
Mustang.
Ford debuted the Mustang in 1964, and created
an entirely new class, the Pony Car. How could
Chevy beat Ford in a class that we don't even
have a freakin car for?
Guys when we talked in January we said we
wanted to beat Ford in every class.
Who was on this? Seth I can't fire you 'cus you are
my brother and I love you but I am mad and
I'm not sitting by you at dinner tonight.
Here’s a surprise, like almost every other
two door sports car we’ve talked about on
this show. Someone at a competing company
saw a mustang and was like
“Dang dude, that’s a good idea. We need to do a car like that.”
Without delay- the same year, Chevy Head Bucky
Knudsen.
Laughs
The guy in charge of Chevy Bucky Knudsen took
the guys responsible for the record setting
Impala Irv Rybicki and Henry Haga, and told
them to make a new car that would beat the Mustang.
Chevy codenamed the project “Panther,”
and the team prioritized aggressive, sleek design
a wide wheelbase, and sport inspired
performance.
Then, in 1966, Chevy set another record-
this time for the biggest phone call ever,
Chevrolet general manager Pete Estes, announced
the Camaro on a 14 city conference call with
the press. He says the panther is dead, long
live the Camaro. Click. Straight up hangs up.
Everybody in the press is like "I think a Panther
died? What is, what is a Camaro?"
Happened, Google it.
Estes said that the name Camaro evokes the
camaraderie between man and machine
thank you
He also claimed the name was French. It’s not French.
When pressed about what the name Camaro actually
means he slyly responded, “it's a small, vicious
animal that eats Mustangs.”
Estes is the weirdest dude ever.
This first generation Camaro was released
in 1967, and it took everything that was great
about Chevy’s aggressive new styling in
the Impala and Chevelle, and turned that sh*t
up to 11.
(Engine revs)
It had a recessed grill, innovative
front and rear fenders and was available with
up to a 6.5 liter V8. With a Supersport, Rally,
and a Z-28 Packages, the Camaro, from its
inception has been associated with performance.
Ah yes, the iconic Z-28 performance package-
we’ve all seen it- but what does it mean?
Nothing. It’s just the internal Chevy
RPO code for the package. Does it mean anything?
Cars are fun.
The Camaro was an effort to compete with the
Mustang but Detroit’s a small town, and
Ford, aware that Chevy had something up its
sleeve, redesigned their mustang to receive
a bigger engine too. Even in its first year,
the Camaro, while an impressive, cool little car
was playing catch up to the mustang...
Again to compete with the Mustang, the second
generation Camaro came out three short years
later. For 1970, it got wider, pushed the
headlights outside of the front grill, had
a faster looking rear end, and a more prominent
rear fender. This is the fish face that people
love or hate. You know who loved it? Road
and Track Magazine. They named the 1971 SS
350 as one of the 10 best cars in the world
that year. And finally the Camaro outsold
the Mustang, though only a slim margin of
one thousand cars.
I mean that was close.
The Camaro, because of its origins, will always
be compared to the Mustang, but having outsold
it in 1970, it could now develop an identity
of its own.
Chevy was fine with the Mustang being as American
as Apple Pie. Because that meant the Camaro
could be as American as ROCK AND ROLL!
The 2nd gen had quite a few facelifts through
its 11 year run. Just like my little brother Tom.
Rest in peace. Most notable were the
variations to the grill. The Camaro kept getting
more Camaro-y, and while still competing with
the Mustang, it wasn’t in the “hey Mustang
buyers, maybe you’ll like this” way. You
now bought a Camaro because you wanted a badass
Camaro.
(Rock music playing)
The third-generation Camaro rolled out for
the 1982 model year.
Look, the 60s Camaro looked like the 60s,
the 70s camaro looks like the 70s…
and the 80s camaro? I mean freakin look at this thing!
It’s as 80’s as Reagan and Bush, or crimped
hair, or doing cocaine with your boss. Which is
apparently a thing that I totally missed out on.
In 1985, for my birthday, the Camaro was chosen
as the official racecar for the International
Race Of Champions (I R O C)
IROC IROC Ooohhh
and to commemorate,
Chevy rebranded the Z28 as the IROC-Z.
Jean jackets everywhere rejoiced!
The "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition"
was offered in 1987, as well as a "25th Anniversary
Heritage Package" in 1992 .
Camaro. They like anniversaries.
The fourth-generation Camaro debuted in 1993
on an updated F-body platform. It retained
the same characteristics since its introduction
in 1967: a 2-door body with 2+2 seating and
an optional T-top roof or convertible.
In 1998, the 5.7 L LS1 was the first all-aluminum
engine offered in a Camaro since 1969
and this one made 325 horsepower.
Ok I know everyone, like the LS is starting
to get like uh oh my God it's so boring. But,
it''s a freakin all aluminum V8 that's the
size of a loaf of bread.
Weights less than a B16.
If you don't like LS-swapped cars you're a
hater. Don't be a hater.
The Camaro was still pushing that aggressive
reputation, but after 2002, production of
the F-Body platform was discontinued due to
slowing sales, and a deteriorating market
for sports coupes.
The Mustang was finally free to prance fancifully
across the roads of the American Countryside
without fear of the being stalked by a Camaro.
Until… in 2010 after an 8 year hiatus, a
totally re-designed, retro-inspired
"brand new” Camaro made its triumphant debut.
Finally, it was Ford’s turn to play catch-up
the 2010 Camaro SS had about 100 HP more
than the Mustang GT. That’s not even a fair right?
That's like me fighting any man on Earth.
If you want to fight me I'll put twenty-thousand
dollars cash on it. You let me know in the
comments, we'll set up a time and a place.
The only rule is it's to the death and your
kids gotta watch
The car looked great… It looked new and
it wasn't like, “HEY, I’M A CRAZY CAMARO!
LOOK HOW CRAZY I LOOK!” It was meticulous
in design and remained true to its 1967 origins.
It handled better than ever, and could outpace
the mustang on almost any track.
On April 1, 2010, the Camaro was named the
World Car Design of the Year at the World
Car of the Year Design Awards.
What the f**k.
And the winner is, the Chevrolet Camaro.
Is this real? Anyway congrats, we did it guys!
And the experience of driving it? People love
it. It was lighter and more nimble than the Mustang
and in 2016, the Z28 returned, and
made 505 Horsepower!
MotorTrend's 2016 car of the year is the all
new Chevrolet Camaro.
It was motortrends car of the year.
And today, 2017. Happy 50th Camaro. The 50th
anniversary edition had unique interior styling badges.
It’s 200 pounds lighter than
the 5th gen, and the 2018 ZL1 drops about
60 pounds more. Add to this the optional 650
horsepower? I’m telling you- it’s a small,
vicious animal that devours Mustangs. And
sometimes it turns into a robot and saves
Shia Leboof and Megan Fooks.
From it’s inception, the Camaro has had
one job and it has done it well. It was designed
to rival the Mustang, and aside from an 8
year sabbatical, it has been doing just that
for over 50 years.
That's everything you need to know to get

2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Model Review | Edmunds
Edmunds:
[MUSIC PLAYING]
CARLOS LAGO: That's the
new Chevy Camaro ZL1,
and in this video we're going to
give you an overview about what
makes it special.
And the quick version is, it's
more than the 650 horsepower
underneath that hood.
You might be surprised to
hear that the coolest parts
about the Camaro
ZL1 are actually
the stuff you can't see.
The exterior doesn't look
dramatically different
than the standard
Camaro SS or RS models.
You can tell the
ZL1 is different
because it has big exhaust pipes
and a ZL1 badge at the back.
But over on the side, as
we get to the profile,
it retains the shape that we
know to love the Camaros by.
The wheels are bigger, they're
20 inches front and rear,
but they're a staggered
fitment, so the front tires
are a little bit
smaller than the rear.
And that gives it a
nice purposeful look.
But it's the stuff
underneath here
that really makes the car
drive as good as it does.
You have magnetic
fluid-filled dampers
that react super quick, more
so than your traditional motor
controlled dampers when you're
making adjustments on the fly.
You have an electronically
controlled limited slip
differential that continually
biases power left or right,
controls it with a
granularity you can't achieve
with a simple mechanical unit.
Up at the front you
see the big differences
that come with the ZL1.
Up on the hood here, of course,
is the badging and the carbon
fiber dome of the hood.
And there's actually
a heat extractor right
through the bottom there.
You can fit your
hand in, we'll show
you the vents in just a second.
But when we were
talking about making
650 horsepower, what we
really had to pay attention to
is cooling.
This is the same engine that's
in the Chevy Corvette Z06.
And in here, you can
tell the front fascia
is dramatically different,
and it's much larger.
And there's all these
gigantic air openings.
And that's because
this needs a lot of air
to go through it
to keep it cool.
You have heat
exchangers here, here,
here, here, there's
inner coolers
underneath the supercharger,
there's another heat exchanger
lying flat.
And all of this is designed
to get as much airflow
through the front of
the vehicle as possible.
I mean even the Chevy Badge,
you can stick your finger right
through it.
These gaping holes
right here, I mean,
you can imagine what happens if
a small animal flies in there.
It's all made in the name of
getting air through this engine
to keep it cool
under heavy use when
you're making all that power.
Now, let's take a
look at that engine.
Feast your eyes on the glory
of a supercharged 6.2 liter
V8 that makes 650 horsepower,
and 650 pound feet of torque.
This is, frankly, a
hell of an engine.
It doesn't rev that
high, 6,500 RPM.
Actually that's pretty
decent for a pushrod V8,
but really the story is
the breadth of that power.
But also consider it's
a fairly compact engine.
And it can be compact because
that supercharger, this guy
right here, isn't as big as the
last generation supercharged V8
that the previous ZL1 used and
the previous Corvette used.
Now and also the nature
of a pushrod motor
is, because it doesn't
have two overhead cams,
there's not a lot of valvetrain
up here, so it can be short.
And that can help
with visibility.
But as you'll see when
we hop inside this car,
the visibility isn't
really quite there.
And we showed you
the heat extractors
that come through here.
They're functional, you can
stick your hand right up
in there.
And the goal of that is to
promote air flow out of here
to keep pulling air through
the front end of the vehicle
to cool it down.
Let's take a look inside.
Well the first
thing you gotta do
when you slip into the interior
of a Camaro ZL1 is fire it up.
So that's how you
set things off right.
Now, couple of things
you have to accept
with the interior
of the Chevy Camaro,
especially this generation.
There is no interior storage.
You have a couple of pockets
on the left and right.
There's some space
in the armrest.
But there's basically
nothing for anything
bigger than a phone.
Even my phone has difficulty
fitting in the center armrest.
Also, rear visibility
comes up short.
It's like looking out
of a cardboard box.
But at least if you
don't want to sit low
you can raise the height up.
And that certainly helps your
view over the hood and just
at a point, there you go.
If you're concerned about
looking forward over the hood,
you can always do that.
OK now we're back
to normal height.
ZL1 specific changes
are few, but are nice.
These seats are Recaros,
they're nice buckets
with good amounts
of lateral support
but they don't
feel uncomfortable.
The material they're
wrapped with,
and especially the stuff
on the steering wheel too,
is this microfiber
suede-like substance.
It's also on the dash.
It looks and feels nice.
This is, of course,
the 10 speed automatic.
And we'll talk about how that
works once we take it out
for a drive.
For now though, it
just looks and works
like a normal
automatic transmission.
Behind it, these
controls here are
what get us into sort of the
electronic sophistication
you'll find in the ZL1.
You have four
different drive modes,
there's tube or track, sport,
and snow and ice modes.
Now those adjust a
variety of settings,
but within those settings
are further adjustments.
For example, when you go
into track like we are now,
you can double tap the
stability control button
and access the performance
traction management function.
Now this is a multi-configurable
stability control setting
that has one, two, three,
four, five different levels
of adjustment.
And you can also turn
everything completely off.
We'll talk about launch
control, too, and a line lock.
This has both those tools which
are great for drag racers.
And it speaks to the
legacy level of intent
that Chevy knows
Camaro owners are
going to use these cars for.
The ZL1 doesn't do any
one thing particularly.
It's not focused on
just doing one job,
it's focused on being
able to do everything.
It wants to ride
comfortably on your commute.
It wants to be able to tackle
a mountain road or a racetrack.
And it wants to
be able to get you
through a night
at the dragstrip.
And all that stuff
comes together nicely
in this package.
Now this display, as we get back
into more traditional Camaro
grievances, this
display looks funky.
It looks like it's tilted in.
Although when you start
using it, you realize
it's super intuitive.
It also supports Apple
CarPlay and Android Auto,
and that's really nice.
In front of you, you
have two analog gauges
and in the center is
a digital display.
That's multi-configurable
and shows
you a lot of really
nice information.
And above that is
a head up display.
As we dive into the
dash, we'll explain
how some of the drag racing
focused technology works.
I'll put the car in
its track setting,
and then I'll turn the
advance stability control
system to sport, for example.
And what you can
do here is you can
define the amount of traction
the surface that you're
driving on has.
So if you're in sport
one or sport two,
it assumes you're
on a street surface.
But if you go up
to race, it assumes
you're on a drag strip that
has a prepared surface, that
has the traction of
a prepared surface.
So it'll actually account
for all that stuff.
When you go into
the launch control,
you can set custom parameters.
There's an automatic
function, but you can also
set manually your target
RPM, your slip target--
and that slip target is
how much the rear tires
rotate versus how fast you go.
Tires like to spin a little bit
faster than you would think.
They like to have a
little bit of slip
to get the best
launch out of them.
And you can actually define
the percentage of slip
that you want the
rear tires to have.
Which is nuts.
And then beneath that
you have a line lock.
And now what a line lock does,
is it holds the front brakes
but allows the rear tires
to spin freely, which
makes a burn out a lot easier.
I'm in the school of thought
that if you have 650 pound
feet, a burnout's
pretty easy to do,
but it's nice that
the feature's there.
And this is a level
of granularity
for a drag racing that I
haven't seen in a production car
outside of the Dodge Demon.
And it's really cool, because
this car, again, is just
sort of an all-arounder.
Now up next we'll show
you what that means
when we drive it on the street.
Driving on the congested
and Toyota Prius
filled streets of LA may
not be the most exciting way
to experience the Camaro
ZL1, but it does give us
the opportunity to illustrate
just how nice this car is
to drive in general.
Sure the ride's firm, sure
you get some road noise,
but it's nothing that would
make this car difficult to live
with.
This 10 speed automatic
transmission, you might think,
wow that's a lot of gears.
I'm going to constantly see
the tack bouncing around
as it shifts.
But you don't.
You barely notice when
the shifts happen.
And the way they've
tuned this transmission
so it can skip gears
when you step on it
makes for a really
nice experience.
What's funny is
when you really see
a gap, when you nail that gas
it's almost as if the car has
night terrors.
Because suddenly it starts
growling out of nowhere
and making all these
noises and screaming.
And then it gets
really silent again.
It gets really quiet.
It just seems to get more
aggressive the more you drive
it in an aggressive manner.
But of course LA
traffic is the worst.
So we're going to go to a
place where we can explore
the abilities of this car.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
There's just so much power.
The performance of this
vehicle is just incredible.
But it's the tractability
that makes it so dominating.
It just feels so good,
feels so much fun.
This is a large, heavy car,
with pretty poor visibility.
But it just comes into its
own in this environment.
It's so much fun.
Modulating the power and
controlling the Camaro,
got to love that sound.
Get a little sideways.
So even though the
stability control is on,
it still gives you
a bit of freedom
with how much
sideways you get when
you dig into that throttle.
And there's so much
power on tap here.
We have 650 horsepower.
I'm getting a
little bit too close
to the limits of the
stability control system.
I'm feeling it grab
me a little bit more.
But what that's doing
is it's telling me
I'm applying too much throttle.
You can use this system
like a driver's tool.
You can lean on it and
use it the wrong way,
and have it try to fix
your sloppy mistakes.
But you can also
pay attention to it,
pay attention to when
it's cutting the power
and how much power
it's giving you,
and you can dial back
your choice accordingly.
Now what's working
in conjunction
there is the stability control
and electronically controlled
limited slip differential.
Which is biasing power
as it deems appropriate,
based on whatever the vehicle
sensors are telling it.
That's really nice.
And we haven't even talked
about the brakes yet.
These brakes provide
very good stopping power
and have a nice long travel.
So you can dig in to it
without using too much force,
and get the right amount
braking force that you want.
I like this car a lot.
Listen to that.
[ENGINE REVVING]
And that's the
amazing Camaro ZL1.

2018 Chevrolet Camaro SS vs. 2018 Ford Mustang GT | Comparison Test | Edmunds
Edmunds:
CARLOS LAGO: In
the early 60s, Ford
introduced a car called the
Mustang that was so popular,
Chevy decided to follow
suit and introduced
its direct competitor,
the Camaro.
And since then, really
not much has changed
MARK TAKAHASHI: No, the formula
has definitely stayed the same.
But man, the total sum has
increased dramatically.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah,
we've assembled
to the latest variants
of these pony cars,
as the way you should probably
order them, with the V8.
Now, these aren't
performance package cars
but these are the
cars most people are
going to end up buying.
We've got them here to see
how these two modern versions
of the pony cars stack up.
[CAR ACCELERATING]
All right, Mark, it's up to you
to sell me on the 2018 Mustang.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It should be
pretty easy because number one,
I can see.
Look, you can see turns.
CARLOS LAGO: This is
true but also listen.
[CAR ACCELERATING]
MARK TAKAHASHI: Oh,
that sounds amazing.
CARLOS LAGO: That
sounds really good.
I swear that's louder
than the Camaro.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It is.
CARLOS LAGO: In this world
of Camaro Mustang, loud wins.
MARK TAKAHASHI: And this has an
active exhaust option for you.
You can do a quiet
start if you don't want
to wake up all your neighbors.
But it sounds so
rad anyway, I think
they'd be cool with it, right?
CARLOS LAGO: But tell
me about this five liter
because I see it's
revving higher.
How does it feel?
MARK TAKAHASHI: It feels great.
You know, it's kind of got
some of that high revving
personality of that GT 350.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Which
I really, really dig.
CARLOS LAGO: Who doesn't?
MARK TAKAHASHI: But
just like the GT 350,
the first time I got in
this and started really
driving it hard, I realized
I was short shifting.
CARLOS LAGO: Really
MARK TAKAHASHI: I could
let this wind way more out
CARLOS LAGO: Because
you've got so many more
revs to play with than you
would traditionally expect.
You're used to a V-8 being kind
of a low revy kind of thing.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Right.
CARLOS LAGO: But then when
you have above 7000 RPMs,
it's fun when you realize
you can play with it.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Oh, yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: So you've got
a big, digital display.
How do you like that
in the day to day use?
MARK TAKAHASHI: I
really, really like it.
You know, and I get that some
people are traditionalists.
They want to see the old gauges.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah and it's
optional though, right?
MARK TAKAHASHI: It's an option.
CARLOS LAGO: OK.
OK.
So you can have traditional
gauges if you like.
But yeah, I like that the
tach moves like a bar graph
when you're in the track
setting, like we are now.
MARK TAKAHASHI: So this
is the new 10 speed auto.
The whole point of that is,
you know, quicker acceleration.
You know, shorter
gears, down low,
teller up top so you
get fuel economy.
I dig that and everything,
but this is a Mustang.
It should have a stick shift,
it should have six gears.
And there's sometimes
this little, weird delay
between when you
hit the up-shift
and when it finally does.
CARLOS LAGO: Oh, so when you're
controlling the gears manually
there's a bit of a delay?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah, I've
been in paddle shift mode
ever since we set off here.
So, see?
It's not just that immediate.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It's still
really freaking good.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah.
MARK TAKAHASHI:
But there's still
that romance of muscle cars
where you should have a stick.
CARLOS LAGO: You want to
be able to bang gears?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: That's
how you feel good.
That's when you feel good is
when you just shift it quick.
This is not a
performance packed car.
MARK TAKAHASHI: No
performance options
on this except for
maybe the exhaust.
CARLOS LAGO: And the V8 engine.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yes.
Yeah, I mean I like it.
It's compliant it's
still comfortable.
The way this transitions
out of a turn I really dig.
You get on that
power early and it
starts straightening you out.
It's happy.
CARLOS LAGO: It seems like
it's giving you a quite a bit
over-steer on the power out but
in a really nice controllable
way.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah, I
mean that's the thing.
They tune that
stability control really
well where if you start
getting it a little sideways
but you're still
on the throttle,
it'll let you do it up
to a certain slip angle.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah.
MARK TAKAHASHI: But once
you lift out of it, then it
will snap you
right back in line.
CARLOS LAGO: That's nice.
MARK TAKAHASHI:
Man, I mean I really
like the way this
comes out of turns.
Just a little bit, little
bit and it just starts, yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah.
MARK TAKAHASHI: That
little snap out of it.
I really dig this car.
CARLOS LAGO: How do
those breaks feel?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Solid.
I mean these aren't performance
upgrade brakes either.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah.
MARK TAKAHASHI: The pedal,
it's you know, moderately firm.
Easy to modulate,
that's for sure.
CARLOS LAGO: I just
can't quite get over
the sound this thing makes.
MARK TAKAHASHI:
Isn't that great?
Let's go to like a
normal mode, shall we?
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah, you
get your Rogers mode.
MARK TAKAHASHI:
This is the problem
with this toggle switch.
It only goes up.
It should go down, as well.
CARLOS LAGO: This is quiet.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
There's a lot less
bass going on now.
CARLOS LAGO: Ford
clearly defines quiet
differently than I might.
[TIRES SQUEAL]
MARK TAKAHASHI: This mid-cycle
refresh is a little bit more
than the typical
mid-cycle refresh.
I mean, they have the
adaptive suspension,
they have a lot more safety
features, cool options,
like the instrument panel.
I really like this.
[CAR ACCELERATES]
CARLOS LAGO: This
is the 60th annual.
MARK TAKAHASHI: I
know, I like them.
CARLOS LAGO: But because you
can do things like this--
MARK TAKAHASHI: Oh.
[CAR ACCELERATES]
Oh, no lift.
CARLOS LAGO: And on top of
that, it also has red matching.
So it's basically an automatic.
And so this is the Camaro SS
that we all know and love.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Love?
CARLOS LAGO: Love.
That's what makes
a Camaro a Camaro.
MARK TAKAHASHI:
Wait, that's Subaru.
CARLOS LAGO: Ssh.
So we're down five horsepower
and a couple pound feet
of torque, I forget.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It's completely
irrelevant at this point.
460 versus 455.
CARLOS LAGO: Well,
I was also going
to make the point that this
car is about 50 pounds lighter.
So the whole power and torque
deficit comes out about even.
MARK TAKAHASHI: I think so.
CARLOS LAGO: When
you get down to it.
What I like about this car,
what I like traditionally
about Camaros is the
handling balance.
This is a big, meaty car.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: With a
ton of low end grunt.
With a ton of power that you
can do that, which is terrific.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It
just sounds like you're
going to break something.
CARLOS LAGO: Well, you
know traditionally,
you would break something.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yes.
CARLOS LAGO: And so what I
like is that they actually
took the time to build
that into the system
so you don't have to worry
about breaking anything.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Right.
Ooh.
CARLOS LAGO: It's
just so satisfying.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It really is.
That is impressive.
CARLOS LAGO: Now,
getting back to like
the dynamics part of it, yes,
this car has no visibility.
It's basically a
window-less van.
MARK TAKAHASHI: I don't know,
the visibility bothers me.
I don't have a really
good grab handle here.
CARLOS LAGO: Does this look like
the face of somebody who cares?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Fair enough.
[TIRES SCREECHING]
But here's the
thing, do you think
there's a dynamic difference
between these two cars
that is a deal breaker
one way or the other?
Because I, personally,
I have just as much fun
with both cars.
CARLOS LAGO: That's
the truth of it.
Isn't it really?
The difference is the
badging on the hood
and that's basically it.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Right.
So what are we fighting for?
CARLOS LAGO: We're not.
Well, the Camaro is
obviously better.
MARK TAKAHASHI: No, no, no.
It just, no.
No, the Ford is less flawed.
CARLOS LAGO: It's really
one of those things
that like we've always been
at war with Eurasia, right?
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yes.
CARLOS LAGO: It's just
this constant rivalry
that goes back and forth.
But fundamentally, you end
up with the same vehicle
with minor variations.
And so it comes
down to, basically,
what's your preference?
I prefer that, which is great.
But I'm sure there's
qualities in the Mustang
I would also like, as well.
But this is a fine
handling vehicle
that handles with a delicacy
and a light-ness that
kind of belies its size, right?
MARK TAKAHASHI:
Well, the styling,
too makes it look chunkier
and heavier than it is.
CARLOS LAGO: Yes, absolutely.
From the six speed manual to
the red match buttons that
toggles on the steering
wheel, the standard Camaro SS,
I'm going to say,
bare bones, it's
pretty much what you'd
expect in this kind of car.
I like the interior
layout, I like
the way things were arranged.
Like this is a very
classical panel right there
with the double bubble gauge.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah,
and this coved out
section here is kind of you
know, heritage Camaro stuff.
I like the design, I really,
truly like the design.
I think it's pleasing to
look at but in practice, it's
got some issues for me.
CARLOS LAGO: The big issue,
of course, is the visibility.
And then, there's just a couple
of like, weird annoying things.
Like the way the screen
seems to be angled inwards
so it looks like
it's sloping down.
Doesn't effect how you use
it, it just looks weird.
And then you have a problem
with these center vents.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah, they're
really great for cooling down
your knuckles but nothing else.
What I do like is when
you turn that bezel,
it adjusts the temperature.
That's really cool.
I think that's kind of almost--
CARLOS LAGO: It's clever.
MARK TAKAHASHI: --Audi-esque
in its execution.
But they need to be up here.
I mean, they're right
on your knuckles.
CARLOS LAGO: The
important stuff,
like the speedometer
is easy to read.
You have big, analog gauges.
You have a head up display
that's configurable.
All the important controls,
steering wheel, shifter,
clutch, pedals, all fall to
hand and foot really easily.
The drive mode selection
stuff's really easy to use.
It's this stuff like
interior storage
and like the wireless charging
pad being back here, which--
MARK TAKAHASHI: What?
CARLOS LAGO: --is just strange.
MARK TAKAHASHI:
That means you're
going to forget your phone
in here all the time.
CARLOS LAGO: I
don't know why you
would use that because if
you have a nice, smart phone
here you're going to use Android
Auto or Apple CarPlay, which
requires being plugged--
MARK TAKAHASHI: --the USB.
CARLOS LAGO: --into here.
But this compartment
isn't big enough
to fit most modern smartphones.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Right.
From the passenger
side, and I noticed
this when you were throwing
us around on track.
Is the passenger doesn't
have very good grab handles.
There is nothing for
me to hold on to here
and this is hard plastic,
right in my elbow.
That's something
that you don't have
to deal with in the
Mustang or at least
your passenger won't have to.
CARLOS LAGO: So overall,
it's a lot of stuff
that doesn't really matter when
it comes to driving quickly
but stuff that does make
this car a little bit
not so nice on the
day to day commute.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It's not
completely different.
It's a mid-sucker refresh,
they have some new features
here and there.
But most importantly, is this
digital instrument cluster.
CARLOS LAGO: The optional
gauge cluster, right?
MARK TAKAHASHI: It is.
It's so cool.
If you switch drive
modes and it kind of
gets this racy kind of
tack bar across the top.
CARLOS LAGO: I like
that bar graph tach.
That's really cool looking.
MARK TAKAHASHI: It is.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah.
MARK TAKAHASHI: The difference
between this and the Camaro,
I think, there's less flaws.
CARLOS LAGO: OK
MARK TAKAHASHI: Number
one, we can see out of it.
CARLOS LAGO: That's nice.
Yeah, I really appreciate
being able to see
outside of the vehicle.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
It doesn't feel like you're
wearing the suit of armor
and you're just peeking through
a little tiny mail slot.
Materials quality, I
think is slightly better.
Like, my elbow points
are nicely padded.
And for you probably
you might be
bumping into that a little bit.
CARLOS LAGO: I like that
I have a grab handle.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: When in panic mode.
I don't have one
on the left side
but I have one on the
right side, which is
I think better than the Camaro.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: But I
like the general layout
of this interior.
It feels a little
bit more airy, it
feels a little bit more open.
And it'sl probably to do with
the increased visibility.
But also the way the center
stack is designed here,
this just has a nice flow to it.
MARK TAKAHASHI: And look,
the vents are up top.
CARLOS LAGO: The vents work.
And they've been
able to you know,
keep the influence of like
the 60s design elements--
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: --in the dash but
also add the modern touches
that still make it work.
MARK TAKAHASHI: The
dual dash thing now.
There are some things
that still bother me,
like this little
dash topper here
and this center
of thing up there.
Those are carryovers and
they really seem out of place
because everything else seems
to be quite a bit better.
CARLOS LAGO: So this
car and the Camaro
both have an optional
exhaust volume options.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yes.
CARLOS LAGO: This one has the
option, the Camaro doesn't.
MARK TAKAHASHI: This one,
compared to the Camaro,
goes to 11.
CARLOS LAGO: I
think it passed it.
MARK TAKAHASHI: This is rad.
[THROTTLES GAS LOUDLY]
(GRUNTS)|
CARLOS LAGO: That's ridiculous.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Even
better is the quiet mode.
[THROTTLES GAS QUIETLY]
Ooh, that's quiet.
You can schedule when
it's going to be quiet.
So between midnight and 7:00
AM, I have it set for quiet.
So no matter what, I don't
have to hit that button.
CARLOS LAGO: Your
neighbors don't hate you.
MARK TAKAHASHI: They
do but not for this.
CARLOS LAGO: What
I really appreciate
is the amount of interior
storage you have in this car.
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: From
you know, you only
have two cup holders
and stuff like that,
but you have center pockets.
And the center console
is a bit bigger.
And just things in here feel a
bit more livable, day to day.
If there isn't like any enormous
performance differences,
it's certainly like more--
MARK TAKAHASHI: Yeah.
CARLOS LAGO: --attractive
for the commuter.
MARK TAKAHASHI: But
in the back, the trunk
is way more usable
than Camaro, too.
It has a lower lift
over, it's a bigger trunk
it's, it's way more useful.
So if there's one thing about
muscle cars that's important,
it's fun.
And in my opinion, both
the Camaro and Mustang
do fun equally well.
CARLOS LAGO: Yeah, I love
the acceleration in both.
They both have
fantastic transmissions
and they're both a lot
of fun to slide around.
MARK TAKAHASHI: That
said, I think the Mustang
does everyday life better.
CARLOS LAGO: I agree.
The Mustang is an easier
car to live with everyday
but for some reason I still
enjoy driving the Camaro more.
MARK TAKAHASHI:
That's what we think.
Let us know what you think.

Transformers Bumblebee Chevrolet Camaro 2015
Kazuto Garage:
2018 Chevrolet Camaro: REVIEW
Dilawri Group of Companies:
This is the sixth-generation
2018 Chevrolet Camaro. The word Camaro
doesn't actually mean anything, at least
not officially, but it's said that GM
executives said that it means "a small,
vicious animal that eats Mustangs." Yes,
this is Chevy's direct response to the
Ford Mustang and over the years the two
have had quite the rivalry. Today we're
exploring the 1LT trim with the RS
package. The Camaro is a performance coupe that's also offered in a convertible
body style. Keep watching for our
overview and don't forget to subscribe
to see more from Canada's Largest
Automotive Group.
This Camaro has a
2.0L turbocharged inline-four paired to
an 8-speed automatic transmission but a
6-speed manual is also available. What's
great about the Camaro is that you can
really customize it to be as powerful as
you want it to be. Your engine options
include a 3.6L V6, a 6.2L V8,
and a 6.2L supercharged V8. The benefit of
the turbocharged inline-four is that it's
better suited for different situations--
for example if you drive a lot in the
city versus someone who, for example, is
dedicated to the track and may want to
opt for that V8 instead. This makes 275
horsepower at 5600 rpm and 295
pound-feet of torque between 3,000-
4,500 rpm. The 2.0L gets from 0-100 km/h in about 5.5 seconds but if you opt for
that supercharged V8 you'd be looking at
something closer to 3.7 seconds.
For reference, the highest-performing Camaro, the ZL1, makes 650 horsepower and
650 pound feet of torque.
You can't deny that the Camaro has presence on the road.
It's low, sculpted, menacing even... Today we have it in black although my personal
favorite is the Camaro in Bright Yellow. With the RS package you get this RS-specific
grille and high intensity
discharge headlamps with LED daytime
running lamps. The Camaro comes standard with 18" rims but you can upgrade to
20" options. With the addition of the
RS package you're looking at these
20" 5-split-spoke grey painted
aluminum rims.
And in the rear you have a dual exhaust
with bright tips.
The Camaro also has 258L of cargo
space. And now, moving on to the interior.
The Camaro has remote start and keyless
entry which makes it incredibly
convenient.
This has jet black cloth bucket seats but leather options are
available and so are performance bucket
seats from Recaro for the ZL1. The
driver's seat is 8-way power adjustable
and the front passenger seat is 6-way
power adjustable. Heated and ventilated
front seats are available on some of the
other trims. The Camaro has a leather
wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel with
a leather-wrapped shift knob. You also have steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
A lot of brands are doing digital
instrument clusters but I still like the
traditional analog gauges and that is
what the 1LT has although a digital
configurable display is available.
Here are your controls for air conditioning
and heat as well as the controls for the
7" touchscreen display which
supports AM/FM radio, Bluetooth
connectivity, Android Auto and Apple
CarPlay. This Camaro also has a
six-speaker audio system and a head-up
display is available on some of the
higher trims. Let's talk about how the
Camaro performs on the road it's
rear-wheel drive and it is a lot of fun
and handles really nicely. It also has a
sport suspension so when you're taking a
corner or a ramp with vigor, it stays
tight. The Camaro also comes with a
limited slip differential for enhanced
handling and on the higher trim it becomes
an electronic LSD if you're interested
in adding a touch of performance you'll
definitely want to go for the Track
Package. which includes features like a
dual mode performance exhaust system, a performance suspension, and engine and LSD
coolers.
You have a few different drive modes:
Snow/Ice, Tour, and Sport, and for fuel
consumption the 2.0L turbocharged
inline-four gets 10.9L/100km city, and 7.7L/100KM
highway. If you're someone who's mindful of fuel
economy just know that the bigger
engines will be a little less efficient.
When it comes to safety the Camaro comes standard with the OnStar Safety &
Security Plan. Chevrolet is also offering
something called Teen Driver mode which
activates or deactivates certain
features associated with a certain key
fob. You also get an in vehicle report
which can help you monitor your teen's
and driving habits.
There are so many
options when it comes to configuring
your dream Camaro. While the 6.2L
supercharged V8 would be incredible to
have in the garage the inline-four is
still incredibly fun to drive and it's
significantly better on fuel economy. Whichever Camaro you decide to go for
will definitely depend on your driving
style, your habits, and your preference. We
encourage you to take it for a test
drive at your nearest Dilawri
dealership. Start your journey at Dilawri.ca.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro | Buyer's Guide
Hagerty:
2016 Chevrolet Camaro
Cars.com:
we're driving the all-new 2016 chevrolet
camaro SS and we're road tripping it
we're going 700 miles from dallas to
Albuquerque
we're going to find the best driving
roads in between those two destinations
there's a lot of new hardware that's
going to make this camaro with the great
driving machine
but can our back surviving this thing
for 700 miles
we're going to find out
when we say the SS is all new it's all
new this is a brand-new chassis
the only thing they carried over from
the old ones pretty much the badge and
under the hood is the lt1 v8 from the
Corvette it's a direct-injected 6.2
liter and makes 455 horsepower 455
pound-feet of torque
we have more power less weight and it's
faster this manual car does 0 to 60 in
4.3 seconds in the quarter mile in
twelve point five seconds
so the SS that were and has a ton of
adjustability both in steering
suspension engine through new drive mode
selector 'he's you can't own everything
down in Turing mode and you can also
just really happened up in track mode
and that's going to change the
suspension firmness the steering
tightness and also the throttle response
and then there's the auto red match
feature which is it something else we've
seen in the Corvette and it's done here
with just as good as an execution
now what it does is when you downshift
it flips the throttle to match
engine speed with transmission speed and
it does it smoothly and perfectly every
time a little cheating replacing heel
toe downshifting but man it works so
perfectly that I've never turned it off
one of the most important qualities you
wanted a good road trip cars you want to
feel comfortable driving and not only in
the seating position but in visibility
and how the car handles and rides and
you look at this car and you think oh it
wouldn't have good visibility will you
be exactly right the visibility is awful
it's one of the features of the
fifth-generation camaro the last one
that stood out as just not good
and I think it's worse in this one but
this new generation camaro has a few
tricks up its sleeve that helps you deal
with the bad visibility including blind
spot monitoring on this to SS trim level
and I have the utmost confidence in this
system which you almost have to because
you can't see anything over your
shoulder when you're passing emerging in
addition to that there's this very very
large screen 8 inch screen that has a
backup camera with dynamic lines
so when you move the steering wheel
backing up those lines also move is a
very wide angle back up camera so you
can see a lot of what's going on when
you're reversing and it also has a cross
traffic alert
so if you're backing out of parking
space you're not going to be able to see
anything that's coming toward you over
your shoulder
so this feature will actually alert you
with a little flash in the screen that
there's someone approaching from either
side
one of the most bang for the buck
features in the 2016 camaro is the
optional 495 dollar 8-inch my link touch
screen now it's a high quality display
that has navigation but it also has
apple carplay and if your camaro shopper
and you have a newer iphone then you
have to get this feature car plate
seamlessly integrates numerous functions
of the iphone now in other cars you
might get half function like I you get
voice to text here but you won't get any
kind of app compatibility this thing
works flawlessly and any feature that
you would need to use in your car you
can
the car also has 4g LTE connectivity
with wife high and Chevy you said it's
great for road trips and after spending
seven hundred miles in the car we get to
test yeah it is
is there are areas in texas and new
mexico that we were driving through
where there is no cell phone service at
all or none that we could pick up on our
phones but the cars stronger antenna
mounted outside the car was absolutely
be able to pick it up
we were able to get texts sent email and
also have facetime conversations through
the iphone and even at its strongest
speeds
we got a very good signal much more than
we have in the past and some of these
systems which have been more gimmicky
than useful
the new one is absolutely a working
solid feature that made road tripping
America great we spent 700 miles in the
camaro finding new driving roads had a
lot of fun
you've done a lot of highway cruising
been on a lot of curvy roads and the
camaro just surprises in every way
well except visibility there's no
surprise there it's really bad but there
are ways around it
you do have to pony up this Camaro is
forty-six thousand dollars with
destination but it's a sports car that
you can drive every day
2018 Chevrolet Camaro | Features Rundown | Edmunds
Edmunds:
CARLOS LAGO: I'm Edmunds
Senior Writer Carlos Lago,
and here's a features rundown
of the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro.
From any angle, the Chevy Camaro
is distinctive, blending retro
personality with
sharp modern styling.
CARLOS LAGO: Unfortunately,
the exterior styling
comes at the expense
of outward visibility.
Thick roof pillars
and narrow windows
make it one of the
most difficult vehicles
to see out of.
Like its chief rival,
the Ford Mustang,
the Camaro is
available with either
a turbocharged 4-cylinder,
a V-6, or a beefy V8.
There's also a 650-horsepower
supercharged V8
in the top dog ZL1.
All of that power is
well-balanced with very capable
handling, and with the
available adaptive suspension,
ride quality remains
relatively smooth.
The Camaro gets particularly
low scores for its limited trunk
space.
On top of that, the
opening is narrow
and liftover height
is quite high.
Muscle cars have never
been very accommodating
the rear passengers,
but the Camaro
is even more
restrictive than usual.
Even kids will feel
cramped back there.
The Camaro's interior features
some higher quality materials,
but suffers from oddly placed
switches and climate control
vents.
The Chevy MyLink system is quick
to respond and easy to use,
but the screen's placement
and angle are awkward.
The front seat cushions may be
a little too narrow for some,
but are otherwise
comfortable and supportive.
As far as space for
your personal items,
the Camaro offers
the bare minimum.
So you may want to travel light.
Chevy Camaro's top competitors
include Ford Mustang, Dodge
Challenger, and BMW 2 series.
The bottom line, if you
haven't been around the Camaro
in a long time, you'll likely
be shocked at how refined
the latest version is.
It still has its
drawbacks, and key rivals
are happy to pick up
where it leaves off,
but overall, we're impressed
by the Camaro's combination
of power, precision,
and head turning looks.
