Chevrolet Camaro
Select a Year
(2 available)
For 2012, the V6 Camaro gains an additional 11 horsepower, bringing its total output to 323. Also new this year is a 45th Anniversary package that adds specific hood and deck stripes, 20-inch wheels and special interior trim. Other changes include a new steering wheel design, a power lift feature for the passenger seat, and the addition of a rearview camera to the Rear Vision Package. The high-performance ZL1 is set to debut early in 2012 with a 550-horsepower supercharged V8 engine.
For 2011, the V6 Camaro gains an additional eight horsepower, bringing its total output to 312. Also new this year is the limited availability of Synergy Green Metallic paint on all trims, while a Head-Up Display is made standard on Camaro 2LT and 2SS trims.
There are some who work in the halls of General Motors' newest partner, the federal government, who might find a V8-powered sports model like the Chevrolet Camaro the wrong car at the wrong time, but we believe consumers voting with their hard-earned dollars will feel otherwise. Whether in V8 trim or powered by the also-available V6, the 2010 Camaro is not just a car to be respected; it's a car to be celebrated. Not only does the new model evoke all the good emotions of an earlier time, it also should provide just those same kinds of emotions for new generations who remember the Camaro only as the noisy relic owned by the old guy at the end of the cul-de-sac. The 426-horsepower SS model certainly grabs the headlines, but the 304-horsepower V6-equipped LT offers significantly more performance than you might expect, while turning in laudable fuel efficiency.

2011 Camaro SS Convertible, Cyber Gray
"I purchased a 2011 Camaro SS Convertible in May 2011. Since then, driving has taken on a whole new dimension. My husband and I (late 50-somethings) drive it every chance we get. It's very solid and safe feeling, at over 4000 lbs it's a bit like driving a tank with two rocket engines strapped on. And it sticks to the road like velcro - even in Utah's winding canyons it will handle the tightest turns. As fast as you dare to drive, cornering is flat and grippy. Stomp on the gas and it'll pin you back into your seat. Fuel economy isn't too bad considering the 400 horses under the hood - 20mpg around town, 23 highway. The cockpit is cozy and cocoon-like, especially with the black headliner. Seats are comfortable. Interior lighting is sexy in a retro sort of way. And as for looks, well, if you buy one of these you'd better enjoy attention. This car is drop-dead gorgeous, from any angle. Especially with the top down, we hear admiring comments everywhere we go (and kids hooting and hollering "NICE CAR!!!"). Sometimes we'll park it with the top down outside a restaurant and sit and watch as people walk by it and do a 180-degree double take. This is the kind of car that makes you feel like a rock star every time you get behind the wheel. Guys in all sorts of cars pull up alongside you and excitedly rev their engines, wanting to race. (OK, I must admit I've given in a couple of times, and wiped the floor with 'em.) Yes, the back seat is a bit cramped. Yes, the visibility (with the top up) stinks. And yes, the stiff handling takes a bit of getting used to. But who cares? It's a muscle car, not a minivan. You're never too old to get in touch with your inner rock star. Buy a Camaro!"
