CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Is this the last Camaro without "nannies"?

Yes and no.

I believe the 6th gen Camaro is the last non-hybrid, non-buckled-down tech, cam-in-block (OHV) V8, American sports/muscle car. Corvette is a sports car. The 6th Gen Mustang is sorta in the same realm, but only they already went to OHC years ago, which makes the 6th Camaro a bit more... “traditional”. Challenger is also there.

The future will be one of or a combination of the following: hybrid, semi-autonomous, tech-heavy and small(er) displacement OHC.

However, it is not the last to not have “nannies I can’t turn off”. The 2005-2010 Mustangs (not all of the 5th Gens; the 2011-14 had system still running in the background, even in “all off”) and 4th Gen F-Bodies were those.

Really, the it’s a group that is the last of their type.
