It’s a car that has had grown men and women in tears, multiple times. Tears of sadness in 2002, when what was believed to be the final car rolled off the assembly line, tears of joy in 2006, when a stunning concept car was unveiled to the public, and tears of joy once again in the past year and today, as over 90,000 customers have taken delivery of their brand-new fifth generation Chevrolet Camaros. The new Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger have introduced a whole new era of muscle cars. Their popularity has grown exponentially in recent years, and almost everyone knows at least one person who owns or has owned one of these iconic cars. However, modern muscle cars are no longer characterized solely by a big engine in a small sports coupe. They are defined by a rich heritage, uncompromising performance, distinct design, and modern technology. The fifth generation Camaro serves as the best example of these attributes and is truly the 21st century sports car.

Muscle cars have a rich heritage dating back to the late 1960s. In 1964, Ford Motor Company released the Mustang and sold well over 600,000 units in the first year. In response, General Motors released the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird in 1967, and Dodge began production of the Challenger in 1970. Owners of these vehicles quickly came together to form a strong enthusiast base. These enthusiasts have played an important role in the development of subsequent generations and have even influenced automakers to bring nameplates back. Another key characteristic that ties all of the vehicles in this class together is performance. Camaro, Mustang, and Challenger all feature high-performance V8 engines supplemented by smaller V6 engines. All three manufacturers constantly improve their vehicles to make them faster or handle better than the others. The car that consistently outperforms the others is generally regarded as the best in the segment. The design of these vehicles is also important. The 2005 redesign of the Ford Mustang brought about a new era of modern muscle car styling. The Mustang returned to the iconic design of its first generation, resulting in a vehicle unlike any other on the road. When GM went to design the fifth generation Camaro, designers also looked to the first generation for inspiration, creating a vehicle with several distinct styling cues of the 1969 Camaro but with a more contemporary feel. Chrysler followed suit, designing a new Challenger that looked almost identical to the original. The bold, striking designs of these cars are a key selling point that pulls prospective owners into dealers. In addition to design, the integration of modern technology also attracts customers. Today’s drivers may buy a muscle car for its design or performance but still expect certain everyday features and amenities to be available. Modern technology can also be used to enhance the performance of these cars by working in conjunction with the powertrain to provide the best driving experience possible.

The fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro best embodies the characteristics of a modern muscle car. It has a long and storied history with millions of enthusiasts around the globe. Camaro owners and fans gather at huge events every year to celebrate this iconic car. When General Motors began development of the fifth generation Camaro, enthusiast input was a high priority. GM put together a team of enthusiasts to represent the various Camaro clubs and organizations throughout the country and utilized a great deal of their suggestions. Enthusiasts proved to be extremely influential in convincing GM to spread exterior paint colors across all trim levels of the Camaro. They continue to offer suggestions and critiques of the current model to improve it for subsequent model years. In the performance aspect, the Camaro delivers best-in-class performance. It offers two V8 engines, the 426 HP 6.2L LS3 from the Chevrolet Corvette, and the 400 HP 6.2L L99 V8. Both engines are mated to six-speed transmissions, delivering best-in-class horsepower and accelerating the Camaro from 0-60 MPH in 4.7 seconds. In addition, Camaro offers a V6 engine, the same 3.6L High-Feature V6 engine in the Cadillac CTS. This engine produces 312 HP, best-in-class horsepower when compared to similarly equipped vehicles, while still achieving an EPA estimated 29 MPG highway and 0-60 times of 6.1 seconds. The overall design of the car is unmistakably Camaro. Inspired by the 1969 Camaro, designers sought a balance between the old and new rather than simply copying a previous design. The result is an aggressive, sporty car that receives attention wherever it goes. Features such as wide fender flares, twin exhaust tips, and a short roofline contribute to the iconic design of the Camaro. The Camaro also does not sacrifice technology for performance. It comes standard with features such as an AM/FM radio with CD/MP3 playback, XM Satellite Radio, auxiliary audio input jack, driver information center, and much more. The OnStar service also provides turn-by-turn directions, vehicle diagnostics, and emergency crash response. Camaro also includes several technological features to improve performance, such as vehicle stability systems to improve handling, launch control on V8 models to aid acceleration, TapShift manual shift controls on models equipped with an automatic transmission, and four wheel independent suspension to provide an excellent balance between a smooth, controlled ride and sharp, responsive handling.

In conclusion, the resurgence of modern muscle cars has brought a whole new market to the automotive industry. These vehicles are characterized by enthusiasts, performance, design, and innovative technology. The fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro embodies all of these attributes into an affordable sports car. The Camaro has been extremely successful and had outsold the Ford Mustang for 11 straight months since its introduction last year. As the Camaro’s popularity grows, new advances in performance and technology will continue to cement its reputation as the 21st Century sports car.
