Chevrolet Camaro Overview

Competing for a share of the American muscle car market against the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, the rear-wheel drive Camaro is offered in a 2-door coupe body style in the LS, LT and SS trim levels, or as a soft-top convertible as the LT or SS. For 2011 the LS and LT's direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 gets a bump to 312 hp, available with a 6-speed manual or an optional 6-speed automatic transmission with sequential shift control. The high-performance SS generates 426 hp with 6-speed manual and 400 hp with the 6-speed automatic from its 6.2-liter V8. Unlike the Mustang, the Camaro features an independent rear suspension.

SS models come standard with sport suspension, Brembo brakes and a limited-slip differential. Exterior touches include 18, 19 or 20-inch alloy wheels, contrasting stripes and the available RS appearance package package. Available interior options include Bluetooth wireless connectivity, power sunroof, leather seating and a Boston Acoustic sound system.
