new Camaro's strong powertrain and sporty handling dynamics -- which give V6 competitors like the G8, Mustang and Challenger a run for their money.
The Camaro LS, 1LT, and 2LT feature a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 304 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 273 pound-feet of torque at 5,200 rpm. Critics commend Chevy for engineering the Camaro to be more powerful than its V6 competitors, but find its low-end torque lacking.
Car shoppers should note that unlike its rivals, the Camaro is only available with two engine options, the 304-horsepower V6 and the high-performance SS trim's 426-horsepower V8. Meanwhile, competitors like the G8, Mustang and Challenger offer intermediate trims that provide V8 power, but don't directly compete with the SS. For that purpose, each muscle car offers its own high-performance model.
The V6 Camaro is mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission. However, a six-speed automatic transmission with tapshift control is available. According to the EPA, the manual Camaro nets a city/highway fuel economy of 17/29 mpg. The automatic nets 18/29 mpg. Altogether, the V6 Camaro's fuel economy is competitive for this class.
