Camaro Series: Refinement of the Camaro

Chevy’s development team designed the 2016 Camaro far lighter than previous years. The outcome makes for an unbelievable improvement in performance with less weight and more power. The 2016 Camaro is the stronger version of the fifth-generation Camaro, addressing the weak spots to make this edition of the classic muscle car that is lighter in curb weight and more modern on the inside and out.

Performance

There are three basic options for the 2016 Camaro.

1. 2.0L Turbo. With 275 horsepower rating, this engine is comparable to the Z28’s V-8 engine. It is 390 pounds lighter than the 2015 model and can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Meanwhile, this is a 2.0 literturbo charged 4-cylinder engine for those who are fuel conscious but still want the massive power and sleek design of the traditional Camaro.
2. 3.6L V-6. This Camaro is 294 pounds lighter and goes from 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds. This is a 323 horsepower car offering greater speed than the previous year’s models with great agility in handling.
3. 6.2L V-8. With a 426 horsepower rating, this model can go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. This Camaro is 223 pounds lighter than the 2015 model but offers nearly 30 more horsepower for a significant improvement in its power to weight ratio.

Appearance

The overall appearance of the original muscle car has a more athletic look with a leaner and tighter architecture and offers modern lighting signatures including LED technology. The 2016 Camaro is also more customer-focused with a wider range of customizable options including additional interior and exterior color combinations, lighting options and a wide range of available accessories. Overall, the Camaro offers the same great look with some significant changes including changes to steering and handling which only improve the agility of the car. For those who are more economically minded, the new 4 cylinder turbo with a 275 horsepower rating is especially exciting.
