Chevrolet Camaro Specs

Every Chevrolet Camaro generation, measured

One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens for the Chevrolet Camaro, 708 lb of it since 1971, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.

From 1971 to today the Camaro gained 5.5″ of length (3%) and 708 lb of weight (23%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.

Camaro year by year

Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 46 years on record for the Chevrolet Camaro. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are the 6 new platforms below.

Will a Camaro fit

The practical question behind every dimensions search, and for a 15.9-foot Chevrolet Camaro it has a straight answer. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep and a street parking space about 18, so the Camaro clears the garage by 3.1 ft. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.

Against cars of the same length

Compared with 978 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.

A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. At 3,810 lb the Chevrolet Camaro is right on the class average, which generally shows up as fuel economy and stopping distance.

How we measure

Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 46 measured model years for the Chevrolet Camaro between 1971 and 2024.

One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and the Chevrolet Camaro fits into 6 rows instead of 46. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation of the Chevrolet Camaro.
