Remember when Chevy revised the Camaro SS's front end back in 2018, and pretty much everyone hated it? Well, Chevy heard your complaints, so it fixed the nose, putting the bowtie emblem in the grille in between the headlights, and made the front plastic grille split piece body-colored. It looks a whole lot better, but that's not the extent of the news—Chevy's also offering a new affordable V-8 model called the LT1.
Starting at $35,990, the LT1 is now the cheapest V-8 powered Camaro you can buy, undercutting the 1SS by just over $2000. For those cross-shopping, the LT1 is also cheaper than the base V-8-powered Mustang GT, which starts at $36,450. It comes with black bowtie badges, trims-specific fender badges, 20-inch wheels and the vented hood from the SS. What it doesn't get from the SS are summer tires—it makes due with all-seasons.
The V-8 Camaro trims aren't the only ones getting updates, either: The V-6 Camaro's optional eight-speed auto has been replaced with a new 10-speed unit. This brings it up to par with the V-8 models, which have had an optional 10-speed automatic since 2017. There's also a new color in the Camaro lineup called "Rally Green," though Chevy has yet to release images.
