The 2021 Chevy Camaro has received 5 out of 5 overall safety ratings by NHTSA. The standard features like rearview camera, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, smart key, Lane change alert with side blind zone alert, and many.

The power generated by Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is more than the Chevy Camaro, but still, the Camaro is faster than SRT Hellcat in the 0-60 and quarter-mile time. In terms of acceleration, fuel economy the Camaro ZL1 does more justice to the customers than Dodge. Overall, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is a decent choice over the Dodge and is $1,000 cheaper too.
Like the Dodge Challenger Hellcat, the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 generates more power than the Camaro ZR1 and is faster too. The Shelby GT500 also offers more legroom n the front and more cargo space as well, Additionally, it is a newer car in the market as compared to the Camaro and costs $9,000 more than the Camaro ZL1. But, we still say the Shelby GT500 is a better car.
The 2021 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 comes with 650hp and track-focused abilities while giving all the comforts like power-adjustable heated and ventilated Recaro Performance seats. Along with this, it comes with better fuel economy numbers than its competition as well. However, we will not discount the Shelby GT500 which is a newer car, more powerful and practical, and worth the extra $6,000.
