The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro is one of those cars you will not mistake for anything else when you see it on the roads of Fort Walton Beach, Wright, Crestview, Destin, Navarre, Panama City Beach, or Pensacola. Available in coupe and convertible body styles and with all the power and performance you could ask for, the Camaro is a car that’s as great to drive as it is to look at.
The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro rocks a semi-retro style repackaged for the 21st century that you won’t mistake for any other car. It’s not the most subtle exterior you’ll see on the road or at the track, and it’s hard to argue with the claim that it looks like an authentic Hot Wheels car you can actually get in and drive. But that’s what so many people love about this stunning car, which looks just as good in its drop-top convertible format as it does as a coupe. There are now no fewer than eight trim levels to choose from, which exposes another significant attribute of the 2023 Camaro in its accessibility.
While the mighty ZL1 boasts immense power and a sizeable price ticket, plenty of models in the lineup appeal to smaller budgets that still deliver plenty of Camaro style and performance. The base model is the fabulously affordable 1LS, and the range then goes to the 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, LT1, 1SS, 2SS, and range-topping ZL1.
If you want a new muscle car that looks incredible with performance to match its aggressive style, but you’re on a reasonably tight budget, the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro has got it covered. The base engine is a 2.0-liter turbo four, but it still pumps out a healthy 275 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque that can propel you from 0 to 60 mph in an impressive 5.4 seconds. A standard six-speed manual transmission further enhances the driver-centric nature of the Camaro, but an eight-speed automatic is available if you prefer.
Something more traditional arrives with mid-range Camaro models in the shape of a 3.6-liter V-6 with 335 horsepower and 284 lb.-ft. of torque to boast about. This engine can reach 60 mph from a standing start in 5.0 seconds. And if you want the automatic transmission option, this one is available with a 10-speed unit. We then get to a pair of V-8 options. The LT1 and SS versions of the 2023 Camaro feature a 6.2-liter V-8 that develops 455 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque, but the ZL1 gets its output supercharged to a magnificent 650 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque. The ZL1 can get from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, and the quarter-mile takes just 11.4 seconds.
The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro may have aggressive styling, sensational power, and performance, but it’s also a car that’s easy to live with as your daily driver. The stunning value proposition of the entry-level Camaro 1LS gets reinforced by a superb list of standard features. That list includes 18-inch alloy wheels, a 7.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker sound system, an 8-way power-adjustable driver seat, keyless open & start, a rear vision camera, and climate control.
At the other end of the Camaro offer, the sensational ZL1 gets all the standard features you’d expect to find in a luxury sedan, such as an 8.0-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center, a Bose premium audio system, a head-up display, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a rear camera mirror. However, the ZL1 also benefits from several performance upgrades, such as Recaro front seats, a track data recorder, magnetic dampers, and Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar summer tires.
