Chevy Reintroduces the Camaro. Better than ever before.

As it was then, so it is now. The Camaro, born more than 40 years ago as Chevrolet’s reply to the Ford Mustang, is coming out of retirement (since 2002) for a new fight with the namesake ponycar.

As expected, the Camaro will be available in LS, LT and SS guise. The LS and LT models will make do with a 3.6L V6- with either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission – and will produce 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Despite having more power than the V6 versions of the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger, the V6-powered cars will return 26 mpg on the highway.

Both the LS and LT models will ride on GM’s FE2 suspension. An RS appearance package will be available on LT model, and will include HID headlamps with an integrated halo ring feature, spoiler, specific tail lamps and 20-inch wheels.

With four-wheel independent and Stabili-Trak stability control standard, the Camaro will tip the scales at about 3,700 pounds, but is said to have a near ideal 52/48 weight distribution.

Although the V6 models will do battle with low-end Mustangs and Challengers, a turbocharged four-cylinder is still not out of the question. The automaker hopes to sell as many as 100,000 units annually.

Overall, the body shape looks very similar to the Camaro Concept. GM has added a B-pillar to the Camaro’s body structure for added strength. Otherwise, the car is virtually unchanged from the concept, as GM has promised.
