It needs to be less than the SS. I'm surprised they even went with 20" wheels and tires.....It's a V-8 on a budget...Street cruiser, light to light racer, and V-8 rumble only....I don't think the SS will have any loss of sales. If anything it will have buyers who couldn't afford an SS and who did not want a V-6 or I-4.


It will be interesting to see how this works out and how it is equipped/limited compared to the SS.

IMO it will be the closest thing to an actual "muscle car" than any of the previous 5th or 6th Gen Camaros yet. Good times.


It's a stretch, but here's what I sort of compare it to...
