The 2014 Chevy Camaro gets a track-focused trim
Among its competitors, the 2014 Chevy Camaro offers modern, aggressive looks and the performance to back them up. For 2014, Chevy has brought back its Z/28 package, this time with a gigantic 7.0-liter V8 taken from the Corvette Z06. The Z/28 is meant to be a dedicated track car, with aero, suspension, and brake upgrades, and weight-saving measures that include stripping out the standard air conditioning.
The rest of the Camaro lineup remains a bit more reasonable for day-to-day use. The standard 323-horsepower V6 engine in the LS and LT models is capable and relatively fuel efficient. Above that, the SS models offer a plenty-powerful 426-horsepower V8, while the 580-horsepower supercharged ZL1 still sits at the top of the horsepower heap. There are some issues, including poor visibility, a cramped backseat, and a tiny trunk.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro
What we like
Acceleration: With three V8 engines making up to 580 horsepower, and a stout V6, it’s hard to go wrong with any version of the Camaro if you want acceleration. The Camaro starts with 323 horsepower from its standard V6, and for added power and a V8 soundtrack, there’s the 426-horsepower Camaro SS.
Fuel-efficient V6: With an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, the Camaro’s V6 and automatic transmission returned good fuel economy for a muscle car compared to its contemporary rivals.
Handling: The powerful engines are only half the Camaro’s charm. The other part of the recipe that makes the Camaro so engaging is its true sports-car handling. It’s a car that’s more than a match for a twisty road and doesn’t give up ride comfort in its pursuit of fun.
What needs improvement
Usability: The Camaro suffers from poor visibility, even for a sports car. The tiny back seat and undersized trunk offer much less flexibility than other muscle cars. The Camaro’s aggressive looks definitely come with some notable compromises in terms of day-to-day usability.
