The sixth-generation Camaro was also the last. Chevrolet phased out the model at the end of last year after 57 years on the market, breaking the hearts of those who have been in love with the muscle car since it first hit the market back in 1966. But you can still buy one.
There are 527 brand-new Camaro examples in the dealerships' inventory across the United States. They are 2023 and 2024 model year examples. The fewer they are the more precious they become as customers have the chance to buy one of the last Mohicans.
The reason why they might not be that attractive is that the ones left in the inventory are less potent versions of the model, according to GMAuthority. The V8-powered versions remain quite rare.
Eighty-eight percent of the 527 remaining units, which means 467 examples, are 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT variants. The 1LTs and the 2LTs are powered by GM's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which generates 275 horsepower and makes the car accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.
Meanwhile, the 3LTs get the 3.6-liter V6 engine, which delivers 335 horsepower for a run from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds. The three trims can be specced with either a six-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel in a rear-wheel drive setup.
The 1SS and the 2SS are available with he 6.2-liter V8, ready to pump out 455 horsepower. The cars with the manual transmission can do the 0 to 60 mph run in 4.3 seconds, while the ones with the auto box are 0.3 seconds quicker.
The range-topping Camaro ZL1 gets the supercharged V8 and 650 horsepower. That is enough to make the muscle car flash from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
Now, this is surely a version that the model's enthusiasts are going to miss. However, there is only one left for sale, while 39 1SS and 2SS examples are still waiting to find an owner.
Those who really dream of a collectible can go for the Camaro Collector Edition. Fifty-one of them are still available as 1LTs, 2LTs, 3LTs, 2SSs, and ZL1s, as reported by GMAuthority.
Of the 467 examples left in the dealerships’ inventories, 61 percent, which means 321 units, are convertibles, with the others going for a fixed roof. The Camaro starts at $30,900.
While Ford announced that the Mustang is here to stay as the only V8-powered muscle car left, and Dodge retired the Challenger but left the Charger with either an electric powertrain or a V6, Camaro's future is still uncertain. Rumor has it that it might return as an electric SUV.
However, the Chevrolet executives informed all those who are already longing for the Camaro that this is not the end of this story. Isn't it? For the moment, those who still dream of driving a Camaro have to contact the closest dealership.
