2013 chevrolet camaro review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Revised engines improve fuel economy and increase power. introductionthe 2013 chevrolet camaro is in its fifth-generation, last redesigned for the 2010 model year. For 2013, the camaro remains relatively unchanged, but upper trim levels do get chevrolet's mylink touchscreen interface, with optional gps navigation. A new race-inspired 1le performance package on ss models equipped with the manual transmission includes a sportier suspension, high-performance summer tires and unique gearing. 2013 camaro ls and camaro lt models come with a 3. 6-liter v6 that makes 323 horsepower and 278 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard and a six-speed automatic is optional. In terms of power, the v6 can pretty much pass for a v8, a bonus for the price. The v6 on 2013 models revs to 7200 rpm. engine modifications introduced for 2012 help with power and efficiency, and include a revised cylinder head design with integrated exhaust manifolds, improved intake ports, larger intake valves, longer-duration camshafts, a composite intake manifold, new fuel pump, optimized-flow fuel injectors, cylinder block enhancements, stronger and lighter connecting rods, and a cleaned up camshaft cap and throttle body. a camaro ls achieves a fair epa fuel economy rating for its class, at 19/30 mpg city/highway with the automatic transmission. camaro convertibles are equipped like the coupes but feature a power soft top fitted with acoustical foam in the headliner to minimize noise with the top up. Of torque with a 6-speed automatic, or 426 hp and 420 lb.-ft. With a 6-speed manual gearbox. The ss uses firmer shocks, springs and anti-roll bars than the v6 models, but the ride doesn't suffer for it. A limited-slip rear differential is included to reduce wheel spin when trying to put all that power down. the uber-high-performance camaro zl1 uses a supercharged version of the 6. 2-liter v8 good for a whopping 580 hp and 556 lb.-ft. It can accelerate from zero to 60 in 3 seconds flat with a top speed of 184 mph. While testing at germany's famed nurburgring racetrack, chevrolet factory drivers set a lap record with the zl1, beating the porsche 911 gt3. At $55k the zl1 is cheap, given its supercar levels of performance. We drove a camaro zl1 at virginia international raceway and found it both thrilling and easy to drive fast. It's a fantastic performance car, great for track events or autocrossing. Yet it can cruise comfortably around town and on the highway as a daily driver. The suspension does not punish the driver on rough roads. It's a very impressive machine. we found the handling, ride and brakes to be excellent in both the camaro lt with the v6 and the camaro ss with the big v8, although the ss suspension is stiffer and its 20-inch tires are firmer. Inside, the camaro cabin is quiet, so 80 mph feels more like 70. Interior materials are good, but the instrumentation is disappointing, with gm still trying to be retro rather than clean with gauges. perhaps the camaro's biggest drawback is its limited driver visibility, due it a high beltline and small windows. The view out front is compromised by the long hood and raked design. Rear visibility over the driver's shoulder is hampered by the low, slanted roofline. competitors to the 2013 chevrolet camaro include other american pony cars like the dodge challenger and ford mustang, each with its own high-performance versions. Standard features include cloth upholstery, manually operated air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, telescopic steering wheel, six-speaker am/fm/xm/cd/mp3 sound system, bluetooth, onstar with turn-by-turn route guidance for six months, limited slip differential, 18-inch steel wheels. (prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices and do not include the destination charge.) the 2ls 25,445) comes with the 6-speed automatic transmission and a 2. 92:1 axle ratio. camaro lt 25,760) upgrades with sport cloth seats, power front seats, remote start (on models with the automatic transmission), chevrolet's mylink interface with touch screen, bluetooth connectivity and usb port; foglamps and and 18-inch alloy wheels. Standard features are similar to the 1lt, plus a leather-wrapped steering wheel and 20-inch alloy wheels. The 2ss 37,035) adds the same features found on the 2lt. a new 1le performance package 3,500) is available on ss models with the manual transmission and adds 285/35zr20 goodyear eagle supercar performance summer tires, upgraded suspension with front and rear stabilizer and a 3. 91 final-drive axle ratio. convertibles are equipped similarly to the coupes and include the 1lt 31,560), 2lt 35,335), 1ss 39,585) and 2ss 42,185) trims. the top-of-the-line camaro zl1 56,550) adds a supercharger to the 6. 2-liter v8 to get a mind-bending 580 hp and 556 lb.-ft. Added features include with traction control, magnetic ride control, big brembo brakes, retuned power steering and unique 20-inch wheels. Front and rear fascias are slightly different than other models, and genuine carbon fiber is used for the extractor on the hood. Interior upholstery is suede-like microfiber with red accent stitching and a smaller, flat-bottomed steering wheel. safety equipment on all camaros includes electronic stability control with traction control, anti-lock brakes, frontal airbags, front side airbags, airbag curtains, and tire pressure monitor. A rearview camera is optional. walkaroundthis generation camaro captures the look of the original '67, though it's bigger in every dimension: longer, wider and taller. viewed head-on, classic 1969 camaro headlights appear. Behind the shark nose with black mesh grille, up on the long aluminum hood, there is a suggestive power bulge for the v8 engine. The ss has an additional wide and thin black simulated intake on the nose. slight twin humps on the roof are visible at the top of the steeply raked 67-degree windshield that helps produce a 0. 37 cd in the ls and lt, and 0. 35 cd in the ss. viewed from the rear, and especially from above, the lines suggest the 1963 fastback split-window corvette. From korea as a boy and grew up in the california car culture. styling gills located just forward of the rear wheels add a nice touch to the camaro. Even though the power dome hood and cooling gills are not functional, they all work as touches of style and don't come across as phony. the shapely strong hips stand out, like the long hood, an edgy element the designer is most proud of, because they took so much work. He said it took 113 tries to get the one-piece sheetmetal right, from the doors and pinched beltline rearward. There's no indifferent craftsmanship with this car, that's for sure. the rigid b-pillar is blacked-out, thus creating a clean outline for the side glass, blending into a handsome hardtop roofline. The short rear deck climbs upward and looks hot. The twin taillights look like blinking red sunglasses in each corner, under the small lip of a rear spoiler. the convertible chassis is reinforced to stiffen the body structure, with a cross brace under the hood to connect the front shock towers, a transmission brace, an underbody tunnel brace, and underbody v-shaped braces front and rear. This helps the convertible ride and handle more like the coupe. Chevrolet says the convertible chassis is rigid enough that the suspension didn't need to be changed from the coupe, and that the camaro convertible has more torsional stiffness than the bmw 3 series convertible. designers and engineers erased the appearance of ribs in the convertible top, by using composite rather than aluminum knuckles, extending the material below the beltline, and revising the stitch lines. The result is a top that appears smooth, taut and carefully tailored, while retaining the sleek roofline of the coupe. interiorthe cabin of the chevrolet camaro is oriented more around style than function. The standard cloth bucket seats are good, although the bolstering isn't fully there for hard cornering. The low bolsters make getting in and out of the camaro easier. Excellent leather upholstery is available in black, gray, beige and two-tone inferno orange, and interior materials are good. the front seat slides 8. 5 inches and the steering wheel tilts and telescopes, so drivers of all sizes will fit. The stitched leather wrap on the steering wheel is nice; the zl1 uses a smaller, race-inspired flat-bottomed wheel. a recessed speedometer and tachometer are set in square housings, a nod to the classic camaro interior. Between those two big gauges is a driver information center controlled via a stalk on the steering column. the climate control buttons on the center stack appear to have been designed for looks, and thus aren't as functional as they could or shou.
