Used Sports Cars - Chevrolet Camaro - Sports Cars
The Ford Mustang rival is sexy, exotic and also quite cheap, even if it is very thirsty.
In recent years, I've become a fan of muscle cars such as the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro (which would technically be ponies).
I find them exotic, bold, maybe even a little rebellious. There is nothing more unfounded today than a giant V8 with a very low power density. Indeed, with sporty compact engines with 2,0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines producing almost 400 hp. seeing 420 of them in an 8-liter V5.0 almost makes you smile. So hurray big engines and "American horsepower" to quote Fast & Furious.
La Chevrolet Camaro it has all the curves in the right place and the number of cylinders we like. The best version remains the one produced from 2010 to 2016, the first real "drive" Camaro even on our roads (the old ones were soft and fuzzy like puddings).
To truly experience the US atmosphere, look for SS V8, equipped with an engine 6,2-liter V-420 with XNUMX hp.but there are also many used 3,6-liter V6s with 328bhp. Both models can be found with a range of miles and prices from From 24.000 to 35.000 euros.
POWER, SMOKE AND PLASTIC
If from outside Chevrolet Camaro charms for him bad girl look, inside immediately extinguishes the excitement with its "smallness". It's not news that sports made in the USA fall short of European ones in quality of materials and design, it is important to know what you are going to meet. However, the instruments are crisp, legible and have enough character to transcend countless styles. Bad muscle car they don't want to be sporty luxurious but big toys for adult kids: and the Chevrolet Camaro is a very funny toy.
La Version 2010 has been thoroughly revised, especially with regard to controllability... Compared to the previous generation, it is more agile, responsive and communicative. Now it also digests our mountain roads well, even if it certainly doesn't have the handling of a BMW 3 Series, but it does have other arrows in its bow.
The V8 engine isn't a monster of power, but it's enough to smoke the rear wheels when you feel like it. And then the sound of a V8 is heard, dark, menacing, like a real bully.
New Ford Mustang it may be a little more agile and lighter (so to speak), but the Camaro is even more exotic, and as far as the engine is concerned, it may be a few points ahead of the Ford.
In short, if you are not a fan of driving with a knife in your teeth, but prefer to enjoy the thrust of the engine and blow up the rear wheels, then the Camaro can be a great alternative to the (regular) European one. sports cars, prices are especially visible ...
PRICES
As I said, I Prices hover around 25.000 30.000 – XNUMX XNUMX euros, as for version 8-liter V6,2 with 420 hp, both for the 3,6 V6 from 328 hp. 6-speed manual or automatic transmission for both models. The super-brand problem remains for both of them, but the purchase price is really low. Another sore point: consumption, which is about 9 l / 100 km in a mixed cycle for version V6 and around 13 l / 100 km for V8 version.
