And the performance this car offers is awesome. Even the base 3.6-liter V6 will thrust you from 0-60 mph in about 6.5 seconds. That's better than the 1969 Camaro did with its base V8. Yet the new one (as you probably already know) is rated at 29 mpg on the highway. Go easy on the gas and you should be able to eke out a combined 24 mpg.

But if you're really after power, try one of the 6.2-liter V8s that come in this car. Talk about brute force. The LS3 version, with 426 hp and 420 lb-ft, will rocket to 60 mph in about 4.7 seconds and still deliver 25 mpg on the highway.
