Change is the story under the hood, however. A 2.0-liter turbo four from the ATS and CTS is the base engine now, producing 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. GM says it's capable of 30 MPG on the highway, but with a 0-60 time of less than 6 seconds. It's substantially less powerful than the 2.3-liter turbo four Mustang Ecoboost, but that engine isn't the Ford's base powertrain.
Camaro buyers who want more than a four, no matter how torquey, will be offered an upgrade to a new 3.6-liter V6 with 330 horsepower, up slightly over the outgoing 3.6 base engine. It's a new design that will also be available in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 sedan.
But traditional muscle car fans will look to the 2016 Camaro SS and its 6.2-liter LT1 V8 out of the Corvette. Here it makes a stout 455 horsepower with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic – as the other two engines will be. The Camaro SS gets modern tricks to go with its old-fashioned brawn, too, in the form of magnetic ride control. Selectable driving modes will make their way onto the Camaro line for the first time. And the company says the SS will be capable of better lap times than the old 1LE could manage. The SS manual also gets a new rev-match system to make those downshifts smoother.
