What Our Members Are Saying about the Powertrain of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro

2012 Chevrolet Camaro Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe 323-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed manual RWD
The 3.6L LFX V6 is an amazing little marvel. Such a compact and robust package with a wicked power band. It never lacks for power on demand and will not burn a hole in your wallet. Power delivery is smooth and a light tap of the throttle will set your pulse at a happy rate. Some will ask why not go with a V8 but take it to the strip one night and run circles around the Challenger boys for a few hours to set them straight. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
2011 2dr Coupe 312-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD
The V6 has awsome power (304hp for 2010 and 312hp for 2011). The automatic has an option to drive in auto, sports, or manual mode. Take off in auto has a slight delay but sports or manual drive takes care of that problem. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
2012 Chevrolet Camaro Powertrain: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 2dr Coupe 323-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed manual RWD
I said excellent things about the LFX V6 I know. However my same comments cannot be said for the six speed manual. Contrary to what salesmen will say it is not a Tremec transmission mated to the V6 but is in fact an Aisin Warner AY6. This is not a terrible thing really. The AY6 is light and easy to shift with a good reliability track record. That being said it does seem to have some quirks. 1st to 2nd is often stiff or clunky and the whole unit does like to whine sometimes. Clutch feedback is almost nonexistant since it is hydraulically driven, but some effort to produce some resistance would have been nice. I do enjoy the six speed manual at all times however I do wonder at how well it will hold up in the long term. I plan on keeping this car to the end and I worry about the future of this questionable transmission choice. see full Chevrolet Camaro review
