                     Chevy’s Five Most 
Powerful Cars
As you may or may not know, Chevrolet is one of the original bad 
boys in the sports car market. Starting in the 1960s, the American 
automaker began to pump out year after year some of the most 
powerful cars ever built. Today, that trend still continues. Without 
further ado, here are some of the most powerful Chevy muscle cars 
of all time.
In 1970, to combat some of its competitors, Chevy upped the 
Chevelle SS ante with the Chevelle, a powerful muscle car that quickly became one of the most sought-after vehicles of the time and 
even today. Parks Chevrolet Charlotte Thanks to an LS-6 V-8 
454 engine, the Chevelle provided an insane 500 pound-feet of torque and 360 horsepower. The exterior also came with two 
distinct racing stripes, which furthered the appeal of the car. It 
could also get up to 60 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds.
Camaro V-8 Although the 2016 edition of the Camaro isn’t one of the original muscle cars from the ’60s and ’70s, it still has great aesthetics and 
a ton of raw power. Chevrolet Dealership Gastonia NC says These 
two elements combined to make the 2016 Camaro Motor Trend’s 
Car of the Year. Behind the sheer performance of a 6.2 liter LT1 V-8 
engine, the Camaro gets 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of 
torque. This enables it to burst off the line, recording a zero to 60 
time of four seconds flat.
One of the earlier editions of the Camaro, the ZL1 offered sporty 
Camaro ZL1 looks and a monstrous engine in the same vehicle. What made this car faster and revolutionary was that it was the first Chevrolet to 
replace the iron engine block with aluminum, thus shedding 
unnecessary weight and providing better top speed and 
acceleration. With this engine, the ZL1 provided up to 450 
horsepower with a 427 V-8 engine. Chevy Dealership Gastonia NC 
says It’s still one of the rarest Camaros and exceptionally hard to 
find, but if you get one, it’ll take you from zero to 60 in just 5.1 
seconds.
During the golden age of muscle cars, even cars that 
El Camino SS weren’t exactly known for power received an excellent upgrade. Hence, you have the El Camino SS. 
Chevy Dealership Charlotte NC says this car/truck received 
a 454 V-8 engine and pumped out about 450 horsepower. 
This allowed it to go from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 
7.6 seconds, although flooring it almost certainly causes a 
little fishtailing.
The most powerful car GM has ever built is the 2015 
Chevy Corvette. With a 6.2 liter V-8 supercharged 
Corvette Z06 engine, this bad boy pumps out 650hp. Chevy engineers have attainted this feat with an engine similar in size to 
the LT1 making it one of the smallest compact engines 
capable of creating 650hp. This puts the Corvette just 
behind the Ferrari FF in terms of most powerful 
production engines availabe in the 
Chevy Dealer near Belmont.
