That grand finale was a little bit like Thunderdome. As the saying goes, two cars enter--one car leaves. They're also good, but let's skip right by the other versions of the Camaro. Turbo fours and V-6s are fine for other drivers. It's the SS we want, every day, all the time, for its drool-worthy Corvette-sourced LT1 V-8. We're talking 455 horsepower here, and identical numbers for torque. If you haven't been intimate with one lately, or ever, you need to make it happen. This is a sensational powerplant, a sledgehammer among hammers.
Where the Camaro SS really gets us, though, is price. Without any options, it runs about $37,000--you know, where a good minivan is priced these days. With dual-mode exhaust, magnetic dampers, and a manual transmission, it's still thousands of dollars shy of anything with a Shelby or Hellcat badge.
