In addition to this, this trim also gets a more premium audio system, better exterior features, and a lot more. In all, buyers will find it worth investing their money in this top trim.
Powering the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro is a 3.6-L V6 engine that churns out 323 hp of maximum power. The peak torque output on the other hand happens to be 278 lb-ft. As standard, this engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox while buyers can also opt for the optional automatic gearbox. The manual gearbox is easy to operate and the clutch too is not very difficult to operate. The 3.6-L V6 engine is tired and tested and has a proven track record when it comes to reliability and maintenance.
The low-end grunt of this engine is impressive and the NVH levels too are decent and not the best. The maximum power comes in once the engine hits the three thousand RPM mark. The clutch is progressive and easy to operate, making it a great vehicle for urban usage as well. The rear-wheel-drive system too is highly competent. Slight vibrations are felt on the ABC pedals when the engine is pushed hard and the revs hit the redline.
