The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most formidable entries in the sports car segment. This muscle car is best known for its thrilling performance, but it also has many other appealing characteristics and features. Discover the top three reasons why you should consider getting the 2021 Chevy Camaro.
-
Timeless Styling
Introduced in 1966, the Chevrolet Camaro has gone through significant styling changes over the years. Despite being markedly different from its early ancestors, the 2021 model has retained some of the design elements that gave the nameplate its distinctive, timeless appearance, such as the low-slung stance, Coke-bottle profile, dipping nose, and wide, narrow grille. Then again, it looks decidedly modern as a result of its heavily sculpted hood, two-part grille, squinting headlights, and the tucked-in center section along the sides. Overall, the Camaro is a sleek and stylish car that’s bound to turn heads everywhere it goes.

Energetic and Powerful Engines
Regardless of which of the four available engines you choose, you can expect the 2021 Chevy Camaro to satisfy your need for speed. The standard 2.0-liter turbo-four engine produces 275 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque to enable the sports car to make a zero-to-60 mph time of 5.4 seconds. If you prefer something that plays a muscle-car tune, opt for the 3.6-liter V-6 that makes 335 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque. This engine cuts the sprint time to 5 seconds.
If you decide to buy the LT1 or SS trim, you’ll get a 6.2-liter V-8 that’s rated at an impressive 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. That’s enough power to propel the car from zero to 60 mph in a mere 4 seconds. The Camaro ZL1 is a track monster that’s equipped with a ferocious 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 that cranks out a whopping 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. It can rocket to 60 mph from a standstill in an unbelievable 3.5 seconds and finish a quarter-mile run in 11.4 seconds.
The Chevy Camaro may be fitted with one of three transmissions, including the standard six-speed manual transmission, available eight-speed automatic transmission, and the available 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is the only drivetrain available.

Sporty and Engaging Handling
The Chevrolet Camaro is fitted with a strong chassis that’s capable of handling its exceptional power, allowing it tackles corners as competently as it launches off the line. The car’s front suspension features a control-arm, double-pivot, and strut design that creates a larger tire contact area to facilitate sharper steering response. It also feels great through the well-weighted electric power steering. As a result, the car is remarkably well-planted on twisty roads and around turns. Strong braking ability further enhances driver confidence. If you prefer a better balance between agility and ride quality, consider getting the available magnetic dampers.
