The range-topping 6.2 liter V8 gives the Camaro a 0-60mph time of 4 seconds for the auto, 4.3 for the manual.

The lighter weight and stickier rubber lets the Camaro pull .97 g on the skidpad, and the SS stops from 60 in as little as 117 feet.

For those that have to have a manual, you might want to opt for the 2.0 liter turbo 4. It's the only trim that's quicker with the manual transmission - 60 mph comes in 5.7 seconds.

There's lots of lightness added. Base Camaro models are down 390 pounds while the SS model drops 223 pounds over the 2015. Power to weight on the SS is improved by 14%.

Mustang haters rejoice - the Camaro is lighter across the board than the Mustang.

Your entry-level Camaro will set you back $26,995, the SS starts at $37,295. It's a bump at every level, but you are getting an improved package. No doubt about that.
