Among iconic American-made cars, the Chevrolet Camaro is in a class of its own. Although its cousin, the Corvette, garners the attention of the fast pack, the Camaro ranks high on its own merits. Its appearance on the automotive scene in 1966 gives claim to being one of the earliest American performance cars.
The Comeback Generation
The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 in Wichita KS is a stunning example of a classic. The coupe is every bit the equal of the Camaros that preceded it. More significantly, the 2012 Camaro marked the comeback of this car in a big and impressive way. It brought power to another level and made the country fall in love all over again.
Why do people from Wichita KS to San Francisco CA admire the Camaro? It has always had much to offer. It has a V-6 engine but vrooming up to a V-8 means 580 horsepower and 556 pound-feet of torque. With this, the ZL1 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in four seconds.
Yet, the Camaro is more than an engine or speed. It has great track ability supported by electrically assisted power steering (EPS), smooth suspension and padded seats. This car can cruise placidly along streets in Wichita KS and let loose on the highway.
