2016 Chevrolet Camaro vs 2010 Camaro

When you’ve got style and you want the world to know, the Chevrolet Camaro is the muscle car for you. Besides its handsome good looks, this sporty vehicle is big on speed, safety, and tech features. If you’re shopping for a Camaro, we’re here to help. In our side-by-side comparison, we go over some of the most important differences between the used 2010 Chevrolet Camaro and the new 2016 Camaro. Check it out before you make a final decision about whether to buy new or used.

Maximum Speed

If you want to go from zero to 60 mph at top speeds, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is the car for you. This muscle car is not only faster than its previous incarnations – it’s the fastest choice in this segment. The infamous 6.2-liter V8 engine helps the Camaro get to 60 mph in just 4.0 seconds. In 2010, the Camaro took 5.0 seconds to reach 60 mph. The Camaro’s newfound speed is no surprise when you consider its engine output: 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. With the used 2010 Chevrolet Camaro, the V8 only churned out 426 horses and 420 pound-feet of torque.

Safety

You might be surprised at how much has changed in motor vehicle technology since the used 2010 Chevrolet Camaro was produced. The Camaro is no exception – especially when it comes to safety. Today’s high-tech systems will monitor your surroundings and alert you to danger before it can become a problem. Take the lane departure warning system, for example, which lets you know if you’ve gone outside the proper lines. You’ve also got blind spot monitoring, which warns you about vehicles you might not be able to see. The rearview camera comes in handy when you’ve got to back out of a narrow lane or parallel park. In 2016, you get front-seat knee airbags for added protection during a crash.

Of course, both models get OnStar telematics – a system with many, many benefits. To start, the on-demand roadside assistance feature will help you solve issues with unexpected breakdowns. With automatic crash notification, help is never far away. OnStar also gives you turn-by-turn navigation, making it hard to get lost. Both models also give you plenty of airbags – including full-length side curtain – to mitigate injury during a collision. Antilock disc brakes help you make powerful stops from top speeds.
