If you're looking for a high-performance machine that offers the best dollar-to-horsepower ratio in the business, check out the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. In SS form, it outmuscles most exotics costing tw
If there is a sacrifice to be made for the Camaro's modest sticker price, it resides in the car's cockpit. If hard surfaces and cheap plastics are a deal breaker, you might want to check out the Ford
We were given the opportunity to spend equal time in every Camaro trim, from the V6-powered LS to the 426-horsepower SS with the 6-speed manual transmission (our preferred choice as, due to the Active Fuel Management system, the automatic SS has 26 less horsepower). Admittedly, we enjoyed all the cars, but spent the lion's share of our time testing the SS. With its ever-present torque and seemingly endless horsepower reserves it's easy to make the SS go fast. Aided by GM's electronic launch control our Camaro SS was able to tackle the 0-60-mph

"When I bought my first Camaro, in 2010, I fell in love with the car instantly. When the Trasnformers 3 came, I traded in my 2010LS and bought the 2SS Bumblebee package, and have loved driving my car every day. The car handles great, awesome power, and turns heads constantly. I wouldn't want to give it up anytime soon and hope it stays running the same way from here on out. Downsides: Side mirrors and tiny rear passengar windows creates a HUGE blind spot...so pay attention and look over your shoulder when driving. Sun Visors are more for decoration than functional, but with the right tinting strip across the top, it's all good. Gas mileage isn't bad. I run with my on performance mode quite a bit, so i'm averaging over the last 30 days about 19mpg with all my driving. So with my lead foot, it's still awesome Drove it to Key West (7 hour drive or so) and was comfortable, no numbness like I get in my charger on long drives. It's been my most favorite car to own yet!"

"I bought the 2012 LT/RS V6 Camaro and couldn't be happier with the decision. I bought it used with about 11000 miles. It had some options like Red & Black leather seats, 22" wheels & new tires, and a few other cosmetic enhancements. I was comparing this car with a 2013 V6 Mustang that the dealer had as well. Very happy I went the Camaro route. The car is fun to drive and even better it is very comfortable. Took it for a road trip (7 hour drive), & I was impressed with the comfort level. Rear seats are comfortable as well, but space is very limited. I didn't buy this for rear seat capacity, so this is of no concern to me, just an FYI. With 22" wheels, my MPG is not quite 28, more like 25 MPG on the highway. This was probably rated with stock wheels and tires @ 60mph. The car is beautiful, comfortable, fun and reliable. Only had it a short time but have not had a single issue. Some mention blind spots, but I had a Honda CR-Z before this and it had similar issues as well as other cars with small rear windows. It is easy to get used to and even easier to use side mirrors."
