We thought that the Chevrolet Camaro was ready to put up a fight when the 2016 model arrives but none of that happened.
We where hoping that the Camaro would come with a huge exterior upgrade after all the fuss they made about the whole wind tunnel design and all but it did not. The Chevrolet Camaro SS will be coming in with a LT1 V8 engine that will be delivering about 455hp which is way less than what the Ford Shelby GT is offering.
The Ford Shelby GT will be powered by a 5.2 liter V8 engine that will be delivering about 526hp and 429lb ft of torque. The engine will be mated to a six speed transmission.
Of course, we know that the Chevrolet Camaro SS will weigh a lot less than the Ford Mustang but will it be enough? The current sales numbers showed that the Chevrolet Camaro is slipping further back and is now trailing behind both the Mustang and the Dodge Challenger.
