How Does the 2024 Chevy Camaro Compare to Rivals?

In 1966, the iconic Camaro was born to challenge the emerging pony-segment competition, and that line is still drawn in the sand today. Nearly six decades after a game-changing debut, the 2024 Chevy Camaro is still a force to be reckoned with.

How Does the 2024 Chevy Camaro Compare to Rivals?

The short answer is, quite well! From three unflinching power plant choices to a stylish look with a classic Camaro flare to the latest safety features and technology, the 2024 Camaro is firmly in the best performance car value conversation.

In This Corner…

Camaro’s tale of the tape is truly noteworthy with seven trims, three design packages and a trio of audacious engines which puts the level of desired performance squarely in your hands. But how does it stack up?

Base Engine Bang-for-Buck

The base 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 churns out an impressive 335 hp, which is more than the Porsche Boxster’s base turbocharged 2.0-liter that produces 300 hp, nearly matches the 350 hp output of Porsche’s 2.5-liter engine, and isn’t far behind the Toyota GR Supra’s best 382 hp figure, which you can only get with an upgrade.

Small Block V8 With Big Results

Chevy’s 6.2-liter V8 is loaded with trusted components such as aluminum cylinder heads, lightweight pistons with cooling jets, variable oil pump and valve timing, a forged steel crankshaft, direct injection for better combustion and throttle response, and a high pressure fuel pump. The sum of all this ingenuity is 455 hp with 455 lb-ft of torque and a healthy dose of adrenaline when rolling through the gears.

By contrast, BMW’s Z4 inline six produces a mere 383 hp, the Lotus Emira 3.5-liter supercharged V6 reaches 400 hp, as does the twin-turbo Nissan Z, and the Jaguar F-Type P450 supercharged V8 tops out at 444 horses.

Supercharged With an Attitude!

Thanks to an Eaton Supercharger, the 6.2-liter smoke show power mill goes next-level with 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of asphalt-shredding torque. This is considerably more than the Porsche 911 GTS’s 473 hp, more than Ford Mustang GT Coyote V8 480 hp and Dark Horse 500 hp, more than the Nissan GT-R’s 600 hp, and also eclipses the Maserati G20’s 621 hp V6!

Not only is the 2024 Camaro cheaper than most of the cars mentioned above (and significantly less than some), it’s not afraid to pull up alongside a 700+ hp Dodge Hellcat. With a 0-60 in 3.5 second capability, one can easily see why. But power aside, this latest renewal of the sixth generation Camaro is a solid value with precise steering and handling and a supercar-like performance with only a sensibly priced 2-door coupe hit to your wallet.
