The Chevrolet Camaro has a longstanding heritage which started back on June 28th, 1966. At this point the press asked “What is a Camaro?” They were told, “it’s a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs”.
The Camaro has been a muscle car from day one.
The Chevrolet Camaro was relaunched in 2010. This is the 5th generation of Camaro. Therefore, it is built on what is regarded as one of the world’s best performing platforms. In addition, it is powered by GM’s current range of V6 and V8 engines.
It is also offered as a 2 door coupe from 2010 and soft top convertible from the 2011 model year, the body design exudes muscle and turns heads.
The Chevrolet Camaro comes standard with a 3.6ltr (271ci) V6 engine that produces a modest 304hp. It also has an optional 6.2ltr (376ci) small block alloy V8. This produces up to a whopping 426hp in factory standard form.
It is available with a choice of either a 6 speed automatic or manual transmission. As a result, there’s a driveline package to suit your tastes.
