The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the best sports cars of all time. This is especially the case when examining American-made options. However, some model years are better than others. Regarding the modern era, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is one of the best. It holds this distinction because of its legendary performance and because it served as an improvement over some of the recent models at the time. Additionally, many consider the SS trim of the 2016 Camaro to be the cream of the crop.

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is among the best sports cars

On the Mount Rushmore of American sports cars, perhaps the most iconic are the Corvette, the Mustang, and the Camaro. All three have recent options that stand with the best. The 2016 Camaro has a standard 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four with a maximum output of 270 hp and a torque of 290 lb-ft. However, things start to get interesting with the 3.6-liter V6 option that makes 330 horsepower.

Perhaps the most iconic version of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is the SS trim. The 2016 Camaro SS has a 6.2-liter V8. It has a maximum output of 455hp and a torque of 450 lb-ft. It’s rear-wheel drive and uses a six-speed transmission. According to the automaker, the SS trim accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about four seconds. This model was the most powerful SS Camaro at the time of release.

The 2016 Camaro has a sleek look

One of the things that makes the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro one of the best sports cars is its exterior. The 2016 model ushered in the sixth generation of the ride, which naturally meant changes. One of the best aspects of the redesigned Camaro is that it has a sleeker look than before. Of course, the new look isn’t a drastic change, but it was enough to keep people interested.

The 2016 model includes a new set of headlights that are more of a box shape than before. Additionally, the front end sports a brand new look. It also has an updated wheel design as well as a new set of taillights. Despite the changes, the vehicle still has that Camaro look people have grown to appreciate over the years.

Overall, the 2016 Chevy Camaro is one of the best sports cars. It’s a highlight from the lineup and still holds up today. Traditionalists may not like it as much as some of the classics, but it could be an excellent option for anyone who wants a modern sports car.
