For some people, that could mean a Ford Mustang, but if you’re looking for something a little demonic, you might …
It might not surprise you to see the 2020 Chevy Camaro among many of the critics’ lists of fast cars and pavement-chomping performers. The Camaro has always held its own in being a car that offers raw power and sleek designs. Its aggressive exterior style has evolved over the years as have the muscle car …
While the Ford Mustang may out-sell it, the Chevrolet Camaro is arguably the better muscle and sports car. Especially the high-power ZL1 and track-focused ZL1 1LE trims. However, in a purely numerical sense, the stock Shelby GT500 out-guns the Camaro. And that’s before tuners like Shelby American or Roush get involved. Luckily, one New Jersey-based …

Owners are mad about defective Chevy Camaro starters. So mad that there is a huge class-action lawsuit to get GM to do something about it.

In some views, you can see it and others you can’t. This was once a stock 1976 Chevy Camaro. But a lot has been changed. It was restyled by Frua, which was an Italian coachbuilder run by Pietro Frua. It was much like Italdesign or Pininfarina. Chevy commissioned him to slice up the second-generation Camaro …
The Chevy Camaro is a classic American automobile, which takes on another dimension in convertible form. Recently, MotorTrend put together a list of the best convertibles for under $50,000.

Here in the US, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE is arguably the best muscle car available right now. But how does it compare to one …
Today, Hennessey is one of the most prominent names in tuning Chevrolets, along with Lingenfelter. Together, they’re a match for Ford tuners like Shelby as well as Roush. But in the 60s and 70s, there was another prominent Chevy tuner: Yenko. Specialty Vehicle Engineering, the New Jersey-based shop behind the 750-hp Syclone remake, has used …

These three American muscle cars have an iconic rivalry. There are large fanbases for the Ford Mustang, the Dodge Challenger and the Chevrolet Camaro. But which mid-size sports car dominates?

Back in the early 2010s I went to a Ford car show at the famous Carlisle Fairgrounds in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The location hosts many of the East Coast’s finest car shows. While there, I came across a marker car. That is a car, in this case, a Ford Mustang, that had been decorated in marker …
The horsepower wars gave birth to the muscle cars in the 1960s and 1970s. Iconic nameplates such as Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro were birthed out of that period. But, then came the oil embargo of the late 1970s, as well as the environmental restrictions that were enacted by the United States government. Suddenly, the 300 …
The Dodge Challenger is the ideal car for many Americans. It boasts a muscular old school style and blends that with a wide variety of performance options.

When it comes to buying a sports car, there are a lot of downfalls to paying that brand-new sticker price.

So, 2020 hasn’t been a great year for the Chevy Camaro. Consumer Reports gave this year’s model the lowest possible reliability score for reasons such as poor visibility and lack of comfort. If you want to skip the 2020 model it’s totally understandable. You can always buy used of course but you might also want …
The Chevy Camaro is a desirable muscle car that basically makes any trip feel more like an adventure. Its general popularity and exceptional performance entice new drivers each year. The 2018 model, in particular, was celebrated for being an affordable sports car, but reviews from critics are mixed. Here we will help determine if the …

Consumer Reports is a great source for fair and honest car reviews. When it came to the 2020 Chevy Camaro, they didn’t have many nice things to say.
Today’s new muscle cars are definitely faster than their 60s predecessors. In fact, quite a few innocuous-looking modern cars can, too. For example, a Hyundai Veloster N can go 0-60 faster than a Hemi ‘Cuda ever could. But even ignoring how necessary emissions restrictions decreased performance, some muscle cars simply didn’t live up to their …
Along with the El Camino and Impala, the Camaro comes to mind when thinking about iconic Chevy cars. First introduced in 1967, it’s still one of the most beloved cars in the automaker’s lineup. It’s also one of the cheapest sports cars on the market, though rare editions can fetch prices of over $900,000. The …
All 3 of the American muscle car makers—Dodge, Ford, and Chevrolet—have created high-power drag strip racers. One, the 840-hp Dodge Demon, was even street-legal, though the 1000-hp Hellephant V8 is understandably not. Although, some of the fastest cars at the drag strip aren’t gasoline-powered, but electric. Some have even transplanted EV drivetrains under classic muscle …
Ask an automotive enthusiast what the best selling sports car is, and often the answer will be the Mazda MX5 Miata. So, this might come as a shock, but things are not as they seem.

Before 2015, If you would have told any muscle car enthusiast that the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro were going have four-cylinder engines under their hoods, they probably would have laughed and maybe even gotten a little angry.

For car model kits, Lego tends to be the go-to. Some automakers use a similar strategy for selling their cars in the US. Though, for toy cars, it’s hard to find a brand more recognizable or iconic than Mattel’s Hot Wheels. There’s a few on my desk right now. 2018 marked its 50th anniversary, and …
Overall, vehicles have gotten better over time. Sure, they’ve also gotten larger and heavier. But in terms of technology and safety, new cars trump classic ones. However, not every vehicle improved over the years. In chasing refinement, some risk losing their way, and their reputations along the way. And there’s one car, in particular, that …
Despite the popularity of off-road SUVs like the Wrangler, muscle cars still loom large. Perhaps the best example is the Dodge Challenger, unchanged in 13 years.

Many different car manufacturers have had one of its cars win a NASCAR championship, but one company has by far the most.
Camaros have always been the gold standard for muscle car enthusiasts. Even the six-cylinder versions are still a collectible Camaro—sporty, the right size, and there are a ton of reproduction parts. There is so much support in the aftermarket to fix any mechanical or cosmetic issues that you can literally put together a brand new …
We’ll start out by saying there will be a lot of debate about this list of the fastest muscle cars of the 1960s and 1970s. Part of the problem comes from the special cars manufacturers back-doored to racers, where 30 or maybe 50 of them were produced. Should they be on this list? How about …
Well now, this sure beats renting another crummy Versa. Hendrick Motorsports is modifying a gang of not one, but two different Chevy Camaros that you can rent from Hertz Rental. You’ll be seeing them in certain areas of the country, and with those bright yellow stripes laying against the shiny black bodies, we are sure …
No matter what’s going on in the world, two things are consistent when it comes to cars in the U.S. People like familiarity and comfort, and they also like displaying their American pride.

The flattest, smoothest strip of concrete in the world is a three-mile runway in Florida.

Getting a driver’s license is an exciting time. The new driver has gained a measure of freedom and gets to pick out that first, special vehicle.

What would you think the average age of a muscle car buyer is? 40? 60? 75? He or she would need to have the bread to purchase it in the first place, right? Or at least be able to get a loan—which these days is anyone with a pulse. So maybe money isn’t a factor? …

This isn’t the first rodeo for the sixth-generation Camaro exterior design director Tom Peters. Though recently retired, he prevailed within GM Design for probably longer than he’d like to admit. But, that’s a huge badge of honor in a profession that tends to shed designers like over-ripened fruit. Having overseen many designs from two generations …
