2016 Chevrolet Camaro: Trim, Toned, and Out for Mustang Blood - Car and Driver (blog)
The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro has arrived, and it looks trim and toned—and thirsty for Ford Mustang blood. There’s simply no way to avoid the Mustang when you discuss the Camaro , just as there’s no denying that the Ford largely overshadowed the Chevy for five decades. Or that, until recently, the Mustang traditionally outsold the Camaro. ) Or, perhaps worst of all for bow-tie fans, that the Camaro has usually lost to the Mustang in our comparison tests. Every Camaro can be equipped with Brembo brakes, and the branding is standard—and the pieces beefier—on the SS. Non-SS models get 12. 6-inch rotors squeezed by four-piston calipers at the front and 12. 4-inch discs and single-piston calipers out... Eighteen-inch wheels and Goodyear Eagle Sport all-seasons are stock on non-SS models, and they can be upgraded to 20-inchers with Eagle F1 Asymmetric run-flats. The SS will roll off the Lansing, Michigan, assembly line with 20-inch wheels wrapped in Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 run-flats (you know, for twice the eagle-ness). Powertrain: 4-6-8 The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro engine lineup is very similar to the Mustang’s, as it features a turbocharged four-cylinder and naturally aspirated V-6 and V-8 options, but the blown four will serve as the base motor in the Chevy.
