Seven days spent with America's newest muscle car as a daily driver

"Wish I had…" Test

Depending on where gas prices go, and your own financial comfort, you might find your self saying "Wish I had got the V-6." We averaged 15.6 miles per gallon over 520 miles of mixed driving, though the vehicle is rated at 16 city / 25 highway. It's not that we didn't love the 400 horsepower from the V-8; believe us, our right foot is currently going through withdrawal. It's just that we just know the V-6 Camaro with 300 horsepower is plenty fast too, and we averaged 23 miles per gallon when we drove one (for comparison, it's rated at 18 city / 29 highway with an automatic). Consider too that the V-8 is optimized to run on premium fuel though it runs without issue on regular fuel too.

The Verdict: If you are on the fence about the V-8, you won't be disappointed with the smaller V6. That said, if the above isn't a huge concern for you, by all means hop in an SS. At a starting price of $31,040 it's a great value.
