Chevrolet Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro is a midsize pony car that made it's debut in the North American market in 1966 for the 1967 model year. Along with the Mustang and the Dodge muscle cars, it is considered to be a classic muscle car. It's initial popularity was granted due to it's high performance V-8's and it's excellent drive-train at the time. The second generation Camaro proved to be a departure from the classic muscle car formula and subsequent models lost popularity (partly due to a increased focus on economy after the 1973 Opec oil embargo). The fourth generation was cancelled in 2000. A fifth generation has since been launched. The modern Camaro takes in stronger influences from it's muscle car heyday to attract attention and potential buyers.
