2021 Chevrolet Camaro vs. Its Competition

2021 Chevrolet Camaro LS and LT
Kirk Bell Kirk Bell Senior Editor

The Camaro offers a varied lineup with two body styles and four engines.

The Ford Mustang is the Camaro’s natural rival and its range of offerings is even more extensive.

The Mustang didn’t handle as well as the Camaro when both generations were new, but Ford’s continuous development has closed that gap.

The Dodge Challenger remains strong with fantastic retro looks and overt power.

The BMW 4-Series may be more luxurious, but it no longer shames the Camaro for performance.

Nissan’s 370Z remains fun to drive, but it isn’t as powerful or capable on the track and it’s long overdue for a refresh.

Quick Specs
5.8
Wrapped in a cool pony car body, the 2021 Chevy Camaro has sports car moves.
6.8
The redesigned 2021 BMW 4-Series has evolved into a technology powerhouse with wonderfully responsive powertrains, but the coupe lacks playfulness.
6.0
The 2021 Dodge Challenger muscle coupe is more than a one-trick pony. It looks great while going fast, too.
6.0
The 2021 Ford Mustang flips its own blue-collar script with natural agility and searing V-8 performance.
