The new Camaro SS front-end appearance is based on the distinctive design of the Camaro Shock show vehicle that debuted last fall at the SEMA Show. The SS now features a repositioned bowtie emblem in the upper grille and a body-color bar between the upper and lower grilles.

“Customers spoke, and we listened,” said Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet passenger car and crossover marketing. “The overwhelmingly positive reaction to the Shock’s stylized design helped prompt its transition from concept to production.”

The new LT1 model combines the content and design of the Camaro LT (1LT trim) and SS. It is powered by the 455-horsepower (339 kW) LT1 engine, making it the most affordable choice for V-8 performance in the Camaro lineup with a starting MSRP of $34,9951 (including destination).

The Camaro LT1 is offered in coupe and convertible models, with a standard six-speed manual transmission or an available 10-speed automatic. Additional details include:
LT exterior styling combined with the SS’s vented hood.
LT1 fender badges and black bowtie emblems.
20-inch x 8.5-inch SS style wheels at all four corners and all-season tires (versus the SS’s staggered wheels and summer performance tires).
Available Technology Package, including the Chevrolet infotainment system2 with 8-inch-diagonal color touchscreen and Bose premium audio system.

While there’s been no independent dyno of an actual 2016 Camaro yet, the LT1 engine is also used as the base Corvette C7 Stingray engine. THIS DYNO shows how the LT1 from the Stingray puts down its power, and is plotted against GM’s LS7 and LS3 engines for comparison.

Note: While the Camaro SS uses the LT1 engine, it’s not exactly the same engine found in the Stingray, however, with around 20% of components changed, including a new exhaust manifold.
