There has been a recent muscle revival movement headed by Dodge, Ford, and Chevrolet with the Challenger, Mustang, and the Camaro. Challenger went for the absolute classic looks, Mustang went for best for your money, and Camaro went for a new update on a famous classic.
Chevrolet took the Camaro's classic looks and took them to the next level. The receding grill, the hood that suggest a large engine, and sharp futuristic creases all along the body brings the Camaro into a new era. The base model, a 3.6L V6 with 304 bhp and a 0-60 time of 6.1 secs, starts at $22,680. The top model the 2ss, a 6.2L V8 with 426 bhp and a 0-60 time of 4.7 secs, starts at $33,945. You get a lot for your money with the new Camaros.
The most common criticism is the windshield size. Most are saying that it is to small and that you loose a lot of visibility. Having sat in one, I can say that the windshield does feel considerably smaller than your regular car. After driving around the block though, I realized that all it cuts off is a portion of the sky, and that your visibility is in no way compromised. I can also say that it pulls a lot more than expected when you put your foot.
Overall the Camaro has a true muscle car feel. Chevrolet did a good job at updating the Camaro, taking it from a beautiful smooth classic, and turning it into a new sharp soon-to-be classic beast.
