The Idea: The Corvette , by
all means, an all and out sports car: with clean lines, a low-riding nose, and
other qualities that have it constantly hugging the road. Those who want the
Corvette are true fans of the American sports car and are consumed with a need
for speed. The Camaro has always been a muscle car, and while eye-popping and
masculine, it does not have some of the “topped out” sensations that a 'Vette
offers.
Current Models: During 66
years of production, there has never been a mid-engined Corvette, and so this year's particular model is
off-the-charts different and new. It has the best balance and road handling
that it ever has, and plenty of added space as well. The current model Camaro
is a conventional front-engined build with a muscular front and grille and is
going to wow fans that love consistency and a slightly retro feel.
The Power: The base 2020
Camaro is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter, cranking out 275 horsepower and
295 lb-ft of torque. This maxes out at all the way upwards of 650 horsepower
dependent on trim level, assuring that the Camaro has zero similarities to a
snail. Inside this year's Corvette is the 6.2-liter V8 that generates 490
horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque, but it's not always JUST about power: this
is the very first Corvette that can do 0 to 60 mph in a flat 2.9 seconds!
The Competition: The closest rivals to the Corvette come in the forms of the Acura NSX,
Audi R8, Nissan GT – R, and the Porsche 911. None of these cars are American, and
they are all far pricier. The Camaro is a solid rival for the Ford Mustang and
the Dodge Challenger, the case of the Detroit Three itself. All of these are
tied much closer together in the price range factor, and you simply have to
hash out which features do and don't add up for your needs.
Tech Features: It's safe
to say for this year that the Corvette leads the way as far as tech
innovations. Aside from the first in the mid-engined department, there's a
self-raising nose that can be programmed by GPS, and can store 1,000 locations.
If you've narrowed everything down to the point where you know the Camaro is
your final choice, the Available Technology Package includes the Chevy
infotainment system with an 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen and Bose premium
audio system.
The Racing: The Camaro
is the winner of the 1971 and 1973 Australian Touring Car Championships, and
was also featured as the official car of the International Race of Champions.
The Camaro ZL2 has nabbed numerous Daytona 500 titles, and next year will be
Chevy's racer for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup. The Corvette has been a Le
Mans winner as well as at the 24 Hours of Daytona – plus it has been the
Indianapolis pace car 15 times. Both of these cars are known for victory on the
track: we feel the Camaro's Daytona 500 Titles may slightly nudge it to the
lead in this department, but as with anything, it can come down to personal
preference when it's all said and done!
