The 2016 Camaro is over 200 lbs lighter than previous Camaro, and it now sits 20 lbs under the Mustang GT at 3685 lbs. While the body-in-white’s mass was reduced by 133 pounds, the structural rigidity is up 28%. The entire car was analyzed for every gram that could be removed, with major weight savings coming from an aluminum instrument panel, aluminum front suspension links, and a 26 lb loss from the 5 link rear suspension. Under the hood is the 6.2L engine LT1 engine, first introduced in the new Corvette. Resting in the Camaro, it does include some unique components, such as the tri-Y exhaust manifolds. It’s rated at 455 HP and 455 lb-ft. There are four different driving modes, altering the throttle mapping, engine sound through the dual-mode exhaust, power steering calibration, stability systems, magnetic ride damping calibration, and even the ambient lighting if the vehicle is equipped.
MSRP as tested - $46,095.00

Fun fact: Chevrolet actually asked 5th gen Camaro owners if they should improve the 6th gen's visibility and sacrifice the looks. The 5th gen owners voted that they were comfortable with the low visibility .

I'm glad they left its proportions in place. The styling is great because of it. Just like the Lamborghini Countach I fantasized over as a kid, it's horribly impractical yet completely bad ass and I still want one, even if I can't see out of it.

I own this exact same car. Same color, same transmission, same white leather seats, etc. After 6 years I have only put about 13000 miles on it. It's virtually in perfect condition. Every time I get in that car is like the first time I drove it. It's always exhilarating ALL THE TIME! I have had zero problems with it. If you're an experienced driver like me, visibility is non-issue, though I do admit that it is poor. The screen positioning is not really an issue for me too much because I hardly drive it, and in fact it works well if you have someone in the passenger seat wearing a short dress or skirt... Hopefully it's not your Mom or Sister 🤣

+Matthew Gray i consider the old school camaro to be a muscle car as it looked like other muscle cars (namely chrysler muscle cars and other gm cars) of the same era. The mustang has always been a bit odd. Not sure if id consider mustangs of that era a muscle car. The camaro has transformed though. The modern camaro and mustang are direct competitors. I would consider them both pony cars or american sport coupes. The new charger is a full size sedan which puts it in a completely different category. The challenger on the other hand is the only true modern muscle car. Its big, heavy, built with str8 line performance in mind and most importantly, it looks like a modern version of a 60's era muscle car. Its in a class by itself in that respect even if auto mags try to compare them.

Mustang vs Camaro vs Corvette ... In Europe neither of these three is that easy to get and, although I was never super interested in muscle cars, I must admit that recently I have been tempted by a Corvette, a Mustand GT350(R) ... or maybe a Camaro!

I'm missing the engineering you're supposed to be explaining. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing wrong with this review, I just think that there are plenty of car review channels out there all ready. I would've loved to see some more in-depth stuff, like diving under the hood for a few minutes. Point out everything, say what it does, what has been improved over the previous model, what's different than it's competitors, and just talk in general about where you think the manufacturer came up with proper engineering solutions and where they cut corners. I think like this would be an excellent way to differentiate your videos from all the others, by doing what you're good at.

These 2016 Chevy sports/muscle cars are finally what I grew to love about GM originally. For awhile they were just keeping up with the crowd or leading the crowd depending on your interpretation. Finally they are showing some actual progress, new features that are actual innovation instead of being lifted out of the competition. Think the only change I would make if I ever am lucky enough to own one, adding on a second battery for the instrumentation. My biggest gripe on these newer cars is electronic gauges that are useless when your battery gets too low, typically when you most need them and a backup battery just for the instrumentation would solve that. Also, is it just me or is he making the drive from Half Life 2?

Lol. I'm that guy. I traded my new 2015 1SS in last month that I got in January 2016 l. I lost 12k on the swap for my 2016 1SS with magnetic ride control and NPP exhaust. But it was a 40,500 MSRP with 20 percent off. Ended up getting it for 32k. Worth taking the hit. I loved my 5th gen, but the 6th gen blows it away.

it's got more hp and tq than the mustang and camero and is also alot heavier so I would say it is a muscle car, and a good looking one at that, but everyone has their preferences. they are all amazing cars so try not biting anyone's head off for picking something different from what you like.

@evilkillerwhale7078
@evilkillerwhale7078 8 лет назад
BagelBytes I've driven it. I've tracked a 2016 350R, the normal GT350, and multiple other variants. It's no peach. It's still crappier than my C5 Corvette. It's comparable to a 20 year old Corvette. The Camaro? Comparable to a current Corvette. The Mustang's less reliable, heavier, has less power, and runs more expensive. It's a POS. Period.
@bagelbytes69420
@bagelbytes69420 8 лет назад
*****​​​​ tell that to the track times bud. It's obvious you're a fanboy. I like Corvettes but the 350r is a beast. It did nurburgring in 7m32s which is .8s slower than a pagani zonda F. Compare that to the Ferrari 458 Italia at 7m38s and you get the picture... Also, the GT350 bested the Z/28 around the nurburgring too. Check the lap times

The "skip shift" 1-4 has been around since the 4th gen F-bodies... You can buy a $20 plug-in bypass from the aftermarket. I've never bought one for any of my cars because I rarely drive slow enough for the skip shift to actually engage so I never felt the need to spend the extra money for the bypass. But it is out there.

My daily is a 2014 V6 1LT, I have taken one of the new 4cl models for a spin. I agree with the more cramped cockpit, there are alot more switches and buttons on the 6th gen. I had the same experience, great ride and steering, awesome car, mind you I would never buy a 4cl muscle car. The sound of that V8 was awesome, if you buy any of the new Camaros, either 5th or 6th gen, get the dual mode exhaust. The lag in the gas pedal is there by design, probably to get those EPA numbers and reduce wear and tear. I put a throttle controller on mine that has economy and sport settings, it has turned the car into a whole other car. The highest setting is nicknamed "Beast" mode and it is a two handed affair. Rev High Stealth 2.0 is the name of the controller, I would guess they haven't got one out for the 6th gen yet.

Grip balance and adequate power what ive come to expect from gm(camaro, vette, cts-v) in the last 15 years....but again you can go with cars where "bolstered" power is supposed to mask the short comings of performance "inclined" "Muscle" cars lmao. If u wanna drive in a straight line and fast why buy a new car....lol theres more to driving daily etc than hard line pulls.....if they want something to brag about in a straight line they should whip up a rust bucket sleeper but what do those people know about pride and real hot roding fun
