As we take an up-close look at the legendary Camaro here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis, it has consistently performed just as exhilaratingly and aggressively as it does on scorching hot summer tracks! After the second quarter sales statistics were made public, the Chevy Camaro enjoyed sales that surpassed both the fan favorite in the form of the C8 Corvette and rapidly approaching the competing Ford Mustang. The Camaro excitedly raked in a 110% increase for the quarter, and 54% increase for the year.
The Camaro saw 9,557 units sold from April through June, and while many milestones can’t be avoided, the sixth-generation Camaro is indeed approaching the end of its life. So many die-hard fans of pure muscle are eager to get ahold of this vehicle before it rides boisterously into the sunset, with the LT and SS trims currently residing as the lineup’s heavy hitters in sales. The ZL1 boasts the most athletic stance and flex within the lineup, cranking out 650 horsepower courtesy of its 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8.
Having the ability to nearly change the asphalt landscape around you with sheer brute force is making the ZL1 1LE track monster a bit difficult to get your hands on! Production for the 2024 model Camaro will begin soon, with both the Collector’s Edition and Garage 56 Edition making their own unique mark on this thrilling model. The Camaro is one of those memorable automotive acquaintances that immediately makes an impression after any (previously) innocent bystander hears the pipes roar to life for the first time! It will outlast the current Dodge Challenger and Charger models by just a few months, as this lethal and competitive pair will see their production winding down just after the New Year.
As many purists are beginning to feel a bit let down about losing such a celebrated automotive icon, the 2024 Chevy Camaro Collector’s Edition is set to make its commemorative and decorated introduction as well next year. It will be available for the LT/RS, LT1, and SS trims, and will come exclusively and salaciously dipped in Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat paint. Some very wicked Satin Black accent stripes along with 20-inch polished forged wheels round out this amazing “last of a legacy”.
Those who choose the SS 1LE package and coupe body style will still get their hands on the show-stealing rear spoiler from the ZL1 Package. If you are itching to pull out all the stops and give yourself a chrome-laden package to never be taken for granted, the ZL1 trim is the one to nab here as well. It sees a limited production of just 350 units and comes exclusively in Panther Black Matte, which was the original paint offered on the Camaro for its very first release. Inside, each will boast a unique steering wheel badge with a geographical stamp representing where it was assembled.
The current year’s Camaro model was highly praised by the KBB.com team for its stellar engines, great tech features, and quite affordable pricing considering its fantastic delivery. Thoroughly All-American and iconic, the Camaro has stuck to its roots with style as a muscle car for the masses. The Camaro uses a segment-leading chassis that is just the right size, and agile enough to dole out thrilling performance on winding roads. The 3LT trim injects a premium vibe with Bose audio, a rear camera mirror, a heads-up display, memory package, aluminum interior accents, and multicolor ambient interior lighting.
