The Camaro has always been a very good enemy for the Mustang and it seems that things haven’t changed. After a 2 year waiting period,finally the new Camaro has arrived! Always a favourite amongst Americans,this muscle car grew in the eyes of the entire world in the past 10 years mostly because of the hot rod movement. But don’t forget that every car of this type has its roots in the US and so it has to be built „American”.

The guys over at Chevy understand this and the Camaro has all it needs to be a true king of the roads: an angry front end and fat hips in the back.Of course that these aren’t enough so under the hood lies a monster of an engine.The 3,6 litre V6 with its 300 HP and 370 NM is sure to bite your head off but what is a muscle car without its V8? And Chevy delivers this time too:a 6,2 litre V8 that produces 422 HP and 553 Nm but only with a manual gear box (the only one in my opinion). If you chose an automatic one then you lose 22 HP and the car can run on only 4 cylinders when the other 4 aren’t needed.

The Camaro will have a clear advantage in its battle with the Mustang : a mobile rear axle. This should help with the handling and stability. I can’t wait to see this car in person because I’m a muscle car fanatic and the Camaro is an icon for me.
