lbs. from its predecessor, a new benchmark of power is set. And when
this power is enhanced by an arsenal of sophisticated performance
technologies, drivers will experience an unparalleled sensation of
agility and control. Learn why the 2016 Camaro SS earns the title of the
fastest, most powerful Camaro SS ever.

We'll start from the engine, namely:
6.2L LT1 V8 Engine
The star of the Chevrolet performance lineup, the 6.2L LT1 V8 with the
capability of 455 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque, will accelerate
the 8-speed automatic Camaro SS from 0 to 60 in 4.0 seconds flat. With
Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing and, on the 8-speed automatic, it offers efficiency when you want it, power when you need it.
Active Rev Matching
The 6-speed manual features Active Rev Matching which anticipates
downshifts with throttle blips for impeccably smooth shifting. This
replicates “heel and toe” shifting — a precision technique that
professional race car drivers master only after hundreds of hours of
practice. The result? Camaro SS drivers should anticipate refined
shifting and absolute confidence during performance driving.
Magnetic Ride Control
Available on Camaro SS, this track-proven magnetic suspension technology
reads the road surface 1,000 times per second, precisely adjusting
dampers for optimum handling even on rough conditions. Third-gen MR
dampers improve reaction time and balance for a more natural feel,
resulting in optimum performance and driver feel without sacrificing a
smooth ride.
